The home was recently updated and felt very spacious, clean, and modern. There was plenty of parking for 3 cars without blocking the sidewalk or street.
The house was well equipped with some of the best bath towels I have ever used, plenty of pool accessories, and all the kitchen appliances you need. I even purchased the same glassware when returning home because they were so nice.
We opted for the heated pool, and it was well worth the cost. The heater runs daily and it gets nice and warm. We were able to enjoy the outside and pool area all day, everyday. The walk to the beach is only 5 minutes down a quite street and there are showers to rinse off before entering the house. The neighbors are very nice and we made sure not to be a bother.
This is the best dog-friendly house we have stayed at in Anna Maria. Everyone enjoyed the little getaway, especially my 2 dogs.
We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful house! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need during our stay, so didn't have to run out to get laundry pods, tp or paper-towels. The layout was perfect for our family — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed.The heated pool was a great amenity! We enjoyed swimming morning and night, and was perfect for the kids. The location made getting to the beach and exploring the island easy and fun, and the pool, ping pong and beach toys were such a great bonus for making the stay awesome. The location couldn’t have been better — close to great restaurants, shops, and just minutes from the beach.The property person Mike was wonderful — responsive, friendly, and clearly takes great pride in keeping the house in top shape. Every detail was just right, and we truly felt at home from the moment we walked in.We can’t say enough good things about our stay and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a relaxing, family-friendly close to the beach getaway with all the extras — this is the place! One thing to note, the house has limited availability because the owner lives there sometimes part of the year and we were told they have the same 5 year returning guest stay during the high season (Feb - April) so the availability is not huge, but if your scheduling works, its a perfect property on AMI.

Thank you for so your stay and your awesome review. I know the property has selective availability, but it is definitely worth the stay and we diligently try to provide a vacation home with everything you might need during your stay. AMI is awesome!
We loved our AMI vacation at this spacious, very clean, and well-maintained house. We found all of the house necessities readily available, and the salt water heated pool was amazing. The beach was a very short distance away, and there were plenty of food options (lunch & dinner) close by. Downtown Anna Maria & Holmes Beach were both easily accessible by trolley, bike, or golf cart. We had an awesome time and will be back! Also, the house is in a very peaceful neighborhood!
If we could, we would give this beautiful home 20 stars! We've stayed at many VRBO homes throughout the years and this house had it all! Plenty of beach gear, a fully stocked kitchen (no need to bring spices, paper towels, TP or laundry detergent!) towels, and beach towels galore! A beautiful pool that was clean and private and the beach was only an 8 minute walk. (We wish we could have used the bikes, but due to insurance issues, we couldn't) The owner was easy to reach via text if we had any issues. Beautifully decorated and very clean. My husband "worked from home" and there was even a desk in the lower level that he appreciated. There is nothing NOT to like about Tropical Oasis! Kudos to the owners who go out of their way to make their guest's stay comfortable and convenient.
This was a lovely, updated and well kept property and it felt like a little piece of Heaven after a year long lock down! Mike (the owner) goes above and beyond to make your stay very special. He has such great attention to detail and provides so many nice amenities that no one else thinks of. The outdoor pool area was a peaceful and private oasis that you won't want to leave. We really appreciated Mike's willingness to let us heat the pool to 88 degrees as long as we paid the utilities. That was an added bonus. You will love it there if you are lucky enough to be able to get a reservation!
Love the island, the beach, ocean and sun by having super fun in the home with great friends and (-usually great :)-)family!
Why they chose this property
The amazing landscaping and fantastic neighbors. We know ALL the neighbors on the street. Attend functions together, attend City Council meetings, turtle watch etc. SUPER awesome people all around. We literally eat and gather bi-weekly with at least 10 houses on the street, so cool to know all these awesome people.
What makes this property unique
Private, quiet and wonderful people all over the island, plus the awesome beach right down the street.
