Beautiful Vacation Home!!

Absolutely immaculate home on Anna Maria Island located in a great neighborhood! The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. The attention to detail in this house is outstanding and we were provided with everything we could have ever wanted/needed. We loved the large bedrooms (each with their own bathroom! What a bonus!) and the beautiful pool/hot tub/outdoor entertainment area that looks out onto the gulf. It is the ideal place to relax and recharge. It is in a perfect location for taking a walk to the beautiful white sand beaches, visiting quaint local shops/restaurants and the local farmers market. We loved our time here and would recommend this property again and again!! We cannot wait to come back.

50th Birthday/Family Reunion

The house is absolutely gorgeous. Great place for family who flew in from PIttsburgh to relax from the cold weather, and a close drive for my husband and I. We valued the space and amenities provided as they helped enhance my husbands surprise 50th birthday celebration with his cousins. We chose to take full advantage of everything offered, and there's a lot! There were a few issues with the outside tv's and elevator, but when we reported the issues to the management company they had someone out to help us almost immediately. We would all highly recommend this home to others.

Beautiful home with a few issues during our stay

This was a beautiful home that looked exactly as pictured. Our group really enjoyed our stay even though we experienced a few issues with the home during the week. We had issues with the AC not working in the master bedroom on 2 occasions during the week and the rental company sent maintenance right away to repair the issue. We also experienced a pool that needed to be serviced because it was cloudy and green. It took the rental company 2 days to get someone out because they said rain was causing a delay. Once the pool company came out, the water cleared up, but we used a cloudy and dirty pool for 2 days. The pool lights also did not work in the pool, so we did not have pool lighting at night. The rental company sent a technician out, but they said the lights may have been burnt out and it would be a more extensive repair that couldn’t be resolved during our stay. Also, the hot tub is not hot. It’s the same temperature as the pool and the box to the spa heater is locked and we were told by the pool technician that renters are not allowed to have the code, so we could not turn on the heater for the hot tub. Our group paid a lot of money to stay in the home for the week and it was beautifully appointed and very comfortable, but we had more issues than a typical rental house stay. However, the rental company was pleasant and responsive. The house itself is located close to Pine street and many shops and restaurants. We rented golf carts and did not drive our cars for the entire week, which was amazing! We also brought our 23’ center console boat to tie up at the back dock, which was a deciding factor in choosing this house because we wanted canal access with our boat. We were able to get under the Crescent Drive bridge at the peak of low tide in the evening, but any other time the water was too high to clear the bridge, so we rented a marina slip and had to store our boat there the rest of the week. So, beware of bringing a boat with any fixed tower because it will not clear the Crescent Drive bridge. The house itself was well stocked with cookware, pool floats and toys, and the decor was gorgeous. Perhaps this was just a week that a few unexpected repair issues came up, but we would recommend staying here again if the issues are resolved.

Beach week 2020

We have stayed at several beach rentals on Annamaria Island the additional Tupperware‘s for leftovers would be amazing to have. Also the dock was a bit high I was anticipating on using my kayaks but it was very difficult to figure out so I end up using them in the Bayside. Really enjoyed the house the golf cart being in the garage when we arrived an overall location cleaning as of the house was great. The beds were fantastic

This was our second visit to this property. Just love the 4 master suites and large entertainment areas. Fully equipped and luxurious kitchen and dining area. Beautiful pool, hot tub and outdoor entertainment area. We were provided with everything we could possibly need or want. Property is very clean and well maintained. Property is in a great location; minutes from the beach and public pier and walking distance to Pine Street shops and restaurants. Anna Maria Island is also perfectly located for day trips to area attractions. We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. Can't wait to return next year.
