I was pleasantly surprised with all the extras found in this VBRO. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, seasonings, cooking oil, coffee filters and individual creams and sugars. The pool had plenty of chairs and rafts. The extra beach chairs and wagon were very helpful. This went above and beyond the normal.I gave a four because the bedrooms and dining room were warmer than the main living room which was cold. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2026
Michelle, thank you for the honest and thoughtful feedback! We are so glad the extras made an impression, stocking the kitchen and making sure everything is ready to go is something we really care about. The beach chairs and wagon are one of those details we love providing so guests can just show up and enjoy. Even though your stay fell during above average temperatures, we are already working on property improvements to make sure every room stays consistently comfortable. We hope you will give us another shot and let us make it a ten out of ten next time!

Pam, "tropical paradise" is about the best thing we could hear! We put a lot of love into making 200 Palms feel like a true escape, so that really warms our hearts. A longer stay next year sounds like a wonderful plan and the beach, restaurants and stores will all still be just a short trip away. We cannot wait to have you back!

Had a wonderful weekend at 200 palms. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed and then some. The back yard is an absolutely gorgeous oasis. This is built for a family stay but we enjoyed it with just the two of us. All the extras that are offered just go above and beyond. My wife extra appreciated the hair straightener, curling iron and the ninja slushie machine. Cortez is absolutely breath taking but the close proximity to Anna Maria island is what sold us and it did not disappoint. I would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area as the property and hosts were amazing!

Mark, thank you for this wonderful review! The backyard truly is something special and we love hearing it felt like an oasis for the two of you. Those little extras are there because we want every guest to feel thought of, so hearing that your wife loved the styling extras and the slushie machine puts a big smile on our face. Cortez is such a hidden gem and Anna Maria Island never disappoints. We would love to welcome you both back anytime!

About the host

Hosted by Brian & Stacey

Host profile image
Stacey is a high school history teacher and Brian works in corporate finance and we have 4 children from 6 to 14 years old. We love learning more about the world including other people, cultures and history. Family is important to us and we love going on adventures and making memories together.

Why they chose this property

We purchased a place where we could escape from the grind of every day life to relax and make memories with our children near the beach. The tropical vibe, the tree house in a mango tree, and the close distance to the beach remind us that we can relax, turn off our phones, and enjoy the beauty of Florida. And while we love our time here, when we are not here, we would love for this place to give other families a place to escape to and make memories with their own families.

What makes this property unique

Our kids absolutely love the large heated pool surrounded by a small stream and lots of palm trees. The kids enjoy seeing the lizards run around by the stream and around the rest of the backyard. It definitely reminds you that you are in the sunshine state. The kids have made great memories helping pick fresh mangos from the treehouse in the summer.

Away from the house, we love visiting the Cortez beach (only 3 miles away)! We have a wagon, cooler, chairs, beach towels, and a large beach umbrella you can use to have a wonderful day at the beach. Near Cortez beach the kids love to get souvenirs along Bridge Street and we like stopping at the various restaurants nearby with live music at night.
