Great location on AMI. The unit was clean and has great views of the gulf of Mexico. Plenty of beach equipment to use and the covered parking space kept our car nice and cool. Would definitely recommend this condo.

It's wonderful to know that you found the property manager accessible, friendly, and professional. We appreciate your feedback and grateful for your patronage. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
The condo is absolutely lovely. The renovation was well done with custom color granite countertops, a sparkly blue. Very pretty and throughout the unit. We loved the view. Beautiful water. Sunsets were amazing. The beach was clean and full of polite, nice guests. There’s usually one person that is memorably rude and we didn’t experience that here for the first time ever. The location is great! Within walking distance to many great restaurants. Hurricane Hanks, Feast, Scott’s deli and Slims were our favorite on the island. The unit was clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand soap. The beds were ok, you won’t be sore. It is 2 bedrooms, it says 3 beds but I think it is referring to the number of mattresses: 2 twins and 1 king. We wished we had a pool and outdoor amenities. We are a family of 4, two boys (9&11). We all prefer wading in the ocean and swimming in a pool. I made a mistake when I booked this property, accidentally saving what I thought had a pool and rushed to book once I learned my buddy’s place was booked. My sons eczema was raging by the time we left and he would cry bc the ocean hurt it. No where to swim in 80 degree weather after spending 6k didn’t go over well with me in value. We ended up having to leave a few days to entertain the boys and the traffic to do a kid activity was awful. 10 miles is an hour drive. Otherwise, it’s a nice place!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the condo's renovation and the stunning views. We appreciate you providing the details of your stay and food recommendations. We are sorry to hear about your sons eczema flair due to the 80 degree weather and that the Gulf's salt water irritated it. We are glad to hear that despite the issues you enjoyed your stay.
This condo was nicely furnished. There were lots of beach accessories, the most of any condo I’ve stayed in.
The beach was awesome, not too crowded. Wonderful sunsets as well. I highly recommend this unit.

What an amazing property. The beach is very clean and not crowded. The beach chairs, umbrella, wagon available to us were fantastic. The beds were so comfortable. Very quiet area even when spring break was in full gear. Fantastic stocked kitchen made dinners so easy.

Hi Jessie, thank you for your detailed review! Anna Maria Island is truly a perfect getaway from the large spring break crowds, we are so happy to hear we could help provide a stress-free stay :)
Absolutely beautiful condo with a breathtaking view. We loved our stay in this beautifully decorated condo. It was well furnished and was spotlessly clean. It was a very short walk on to the beach and they even provided a wagon w/ beach chairs , umbrella ect. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Very nice unit. Spacious for our group of four adults. Right on the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Balcony is screened in, which some may like, but I would have preferred it to be open air for better view lines.

We were pleased to find our location as pictured. The condo has updated kitchen, plenty of cooking and eating supplies, comfy beds, fans everywhere, yeah, washer dryer, unbelievable sunsets and softest white sand!
Only negative is heavy traffic due to construction work.
Otherwise a very nice place to stay.

Nice property. Some minor cleanliness issues including a stained comforter on our bed. Linen quality isn’t as good as some other places and there was no additional toilet paper of paper towels in the unit - first world problems for sure.

Beautiful and convenient! Very clean. Shower grout needs updating and toilet paper holder was broken. Overall, it was extremely clean, otherwise! Loved it! Steps from the beach. Storage room has anything you may need for beach

We had the most pleasant beach week at your condo and cannot wait to return! The condo must have been recent remodeled because everything seemed brand new. The kitchen anticipated all our needs. The beds were comfortable. Management was attentive and quickly corrected a tv issue. The icing on the cake was the wall of glass that allowed us front row seats to a perfect sunset each night. If you are looking for a bit of old Florida, this is your haven.

The unit was well equipped and perfect location on AMI. What the listing doesn’t say is that it has SO MUCH beach equipment!! Two umbrellas, at least six beach chairs (including two zero gravity loungers), plenty of boogie boards, noodles, tubes, lots of sand castle supplies and a sand wagon to tote it all. And having all the beach equipment in ground floor storage unit kept the living space free from sand. Perfect!!!

We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and your feedback lets us know that we're on the right track. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
This condo is actually nicer and more specious than it looks at the pictures, they hardly reflect the WOW impression when you step into and see the ocean right in from of you .
The unit is large, clean, beautifully decorated, the designer picked furniture is very comfortable and cozy.
The kitchen is specious and well equipped.
Having our morning coffee at the balcony was a favorite part of our day. Overall it was a very enjoyable week, we recommend this place to all the Beach lovers.
Hope to be back one beautiful day!

We chose this property about a month in advance as we had to change plans due to Hurricane Ian. I was a little worried because this unit was still available. We were absolutely pleased 100% with this unit. Being directly on the beach was the most important amenity for us. This unit delivered that. It was spotless, the kitchen was beautiful, furnishings felt new, more space than we really needed. Don't pass this one by!

Gulf front is indeed 100% true, absolutely stunning and beautiful! Location and listing was as described! Did not encounter any major issues. Communication and check in very simple and straight forward! My only complaints are the fact that they don't supply you with enough towels, our group showered everyday, by the end of the first few days we were left scrambling for clean wasy cloth and towels. Considering that you provided your home and offer it as a business for people like us to rent, these minor details should be taken into account, especially at the higher price point. Also, maybe providing a nicer starter kit, laundry detergent, toilet paper, salt/pepper, etc, these small but very important details go such a long way for frequent vacationers like our group! Overall, beautiful property, wonderful place to relax and unwind!

Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the stunning Gulf-front location and overall experience. Regarding the towels and starter kit items, we will certainly take your suggestions into consideration to enhance the experience for future guests. We do provide a starter set of dish soap, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper and paper towel. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve our services. We hope you had a wonderful vacation and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Agree with other comments about the neighbor. Need to post the condo rules. We rented a golf cart, then found a NO golf carts rule. Great location and quiet. Could use an upgrade on the grill. Realtor was super helpful, 2 minor problems fixed very quickly. We would rent again.
