This was a nice condo, however the pool was very small. Also, the beach chairs and equipment needed to be replaced. We are most unhappy with the dynamic pricing. It penalizes those who book early. We overpaid quite a bit.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 March 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for staying at Saltwater Palms, Mary! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the condo and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. The pool size is consistent with many boutique-style properties on the island, but we understand it may feel smaller depending on expectations. We also appreciate the note about the beach chairs and equipment and will share that with our team to review. Regarding pricing, rates can fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and availability, which is common with vacation rentals across the area. Booking early helps secure preferred dates, though pricing may adjust as travel demand changes. We truly appreciate you choosing AMI Locals and hope you still had a relaxing time enjoying the island.

Amazing place!

We were so happy with this rental. It had everything needed for beach days. The beds were amazing! I would highly recommend staying here. 2 blocks from the beach and definitely on the quieter part of gulf drive. Thanks for a great stay!

Easy walk to the beach!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saltwater Palms! The house was nicely decorated, very comfortable and allowed us to spend a fun week on Anna Maria Island! We especially liked having the screened porch, the garage space (with ping-pong table) and the easy walk to the beach! Communication and customer service of the property management was phenomenal!

Close to beach

We loved the location of the property, just a short walk to the beach. Close to the pool as well. The unit had everything we needed. Our only complaint was that the floors were a little dirty and the AC didnt seem to cool very well in the bedrooms on the top floor.

Great family vacay!

Beautiful home, stocked well, so much room to spread out, game room, 3 hang out tv rooms! Kids loved that they had separate bedrooms with tvs! Balcony was nice and screened in room was great! Loved the whole house decor! Just a quick walk across the street to the ocean and a little walk to the pool! Quiet cul-de-sac location, but we were visiting in off season (September) would stay again!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the spacious home and all the amenities, from the game room to the multiple TV rooms. It’s great that the kids had their own space and that the balcony and screened-in room added to your experience. The location sounds perfect, with easy access to both the beach and pool. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to have you back in the future, whether during peak season or off-season. Thank you again for sharing your feedback!

Wonderful location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The beds were comfortable and the proximity to the beach was perfect! We enjoyed the perks of having a garage to park in, as well as beach amenities like chairs, umbrella, and folding cart. The screened in porch was lovely and private - a perfect spot for morning coffee. The pool onsite was warm and never crowded. Only a few things to mention for anyone choosing to cook most meals at home. The kitchen was reasonably well-stocked, but it would have been nice to have more than ONE dish towel. The toaster was broken (only side worked). There were no oven mitts (had to use the trivets which was awkward). It would have been nice to have more dishes with lids for storing leftovers in the refridgerator. Also, there was not a complete set of measuring spoons and cups.
