Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and had a great stay with us.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing visit to the island.
Great location and has everything you need to feel at home while at the beach. House has a lot of stairs so keep that in mind with kids and elderly or out of shape people. And for your luggage and groceries lol a lot of work but worth it. The pool was great and perfectly cool in the heat. Beds are comfy and there are plenty of towels. No extras in the cabinets or fridge so you will need to bring everything. They do provide some cleaning stuff and some coffee. No shampoo/conditioner so bring your own. Great place!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home, its great location, comfortable beds, and especially the pool during those warm Florida days!
We did want to clarify that a starter supply of shampoo and conditioner should be provided in each bathroom, typically packaged inside a neat little amenity box. We apologize if these were overlooked or missing during your stay and will be sure to follow up with our team.
Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and would be happy to welcome you back for another Anna Maria Island getaway!
Communication was great and the property was nice. Location is perfect. Pool was small but the temperature was great and it was in good condition except for the pavers around the pool deck. We had a couple of bloody toes from raised pavers that would catch our feet.We were disappointed with a few things that could easily be remedied. The home was not stocked very well. Specificaly the kitchen. Only four coffee cups for a home that sleeps 8. Only a couple wine glasses, no martini glasses or barware. Mismatched dishes that were very limited. Very stingy on the dishwasher pods and toilet paper. Had to purchase more to complete our 5-night stay.All of the window blinds and patio door shades were not operable and in very poor condition. Had to work our way through the vertical blinds to access the upper deck.
We really enjoyed it. Was a perfect house located near Bean Point…convenient walk to the beach, quiet area and short golf cart ride to everything we wanted

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beach house on Anna Maria Island! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax, making it perfect for our family vacation. The location couldn’t have been better—just a very short walk to the beach with easy access to several great local restaurants.The team at Once Upon A Beach was fantastic to work with. Their communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything seamless from check-in to check-out.We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely look to stay at this property again the next time we vacation in the Anna Maria Island area. Highly recommend!

Great house on Bean Point a short walk to the beach access. House has a nice pool and is well equipped. Large chef’s kitchen stocked for however you want to cook. Main floor bed/bath with two bed/bath on upper level. Game room right off ground floor near pool. Host is great to work with and has everything extra you could need (golf carts, each gear rentals, etc)

This house was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed! I absolutely love how close it was to the beach! Being able to walk to and from the beach in just a couple of minutes was definitely a perk. It has beautiful view of bay from the top the deck and has a ton of outdoor relaxing space…especially by the pool. It was very easy to communicate with the host whenever we had any questions; however, they were very efficient in providing all the information we needed prior to going so we really didn’t have any questions. This place is truly a gem and would definitely recommend! Hope to go back soon!

A fantastic location and a 2 minute walk to the beach. You can see the gulf and the illuminated Skyway Bridge from the top balcony. Plenty of room for multiple generations. The pool was a perfect temperature and had shade-a great plus! Had a wonderful time during Memorial Day weekend.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location and easy beach access. Being just a short walk from the sand while also having those beautiful views of the Gulf and the illuminated Sunshine Skyway Bridge from the top balcony really does make for a special island experience.
We’re also so happy the home worked well for your multi-generational family and that the pool temperature and shaded areas helped everyone stay comfortable throughout the holiday weekend. Thank you for spending Memorial Day weekend with Once Upon A Beach. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back again soon!
Points Hideaway was a great property with close proximity to beach access. The kitchen and bedrooms were well stocked and the heated pool was a wonderful way to end a day on the beach. I highly recommend Once Upon A Beach for rentals in AMI

The house was very comfortable and a good value. We loved the location most of all. Loved sitting on the crows nest looking at the water. Kids loved the pool.

Overall, our stay at Point's Hideaway was great! I searched specifically for a location near Bean Point that offered 3 bedrooms/3 baths, a gas stove, and pool so this home checked all the boxes for us. The home was spacious and the views from the upper deck were beautiful for sunset watching. The home is decorated nicely with ample seating for all. We had a wonderful time, and it was nice having my family all together in one place. However, there are a few things that didn't make the stay 100% comfortable. There are paint cans on the deck and in the master closet, along with a dismantled bed frame that was in the way. In my opinion these items should be stored out of sight. The window coverings are not in good working order at all and need to be replaced with something that also provides protection from the heat. You are limited to where you can set the thermostat at which made the afternoons and evenings quite warm especially in the upper two bedrooms. We also had an unexpected guest IN the lower level of the house when my daughter came back from the beach. The gentleman did identify themselves as the maintenance guy and while he was really nice, this is not okay. We did not report any maintenance needs during our stay so a simple text or a phone call from the agency giving us a heads up that maintenance personnel may need to enter the home would have been appreciated. Other than that, our stay was nice and for the most part the accommodations met all our needs.
