Beach Oasis!!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! There were so many wonderful amenities of the property. We loved the private pool in the backyard with plenty of shade. The massive island in the kitchen was amazing for gathering around for family dinners. The unit was clean and the furnishings had a coastal theme throughout! Just a wonderful place to stay. Less then a block from the Gulf of Mexico, we loved this place and can't wait to come back!

House is great, close to beach, shops, and restaurants. Plenty of room for two families to relax without being constantly on top of one another. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for meal prep with plenty of dishes and silverware; there is a second refrigerator and ice machine in the garage which was very helpful. Mattresses are very comfortable. Beach cart and chairs were also included. Pool area is fantastic but needs a little maintenance (a few sinking pavers and a good cleaning of pavers and cushions).Our only complaint has nothing to do with the house but with Anna Maria Island. The place is packed!! Traffic getting on and around the island at any time of day is terrible. A two mile trip to the closest grocery store will take you 30-45 minutes. The beaches are just as crowded. IfLooking for a more laid back, quiet beach trip then this is not the place. We heard a lot of good things about AMI but were disappointed.

AWESOME RENTAL

Gorgeous home and pool. Everything was very clean, modern, fresh looking. Property was very clean upon check in. Nicely furnished. Beds comfortable. Giant TVs all bedrooms and familyroom. Kitchen really well equipped with flatware, cookware, utensils, small appliances. Two fridges and commercial icemaker super nice. About one minute walk to beach directly at end of Sycamore (162 steps to be exact). Tons of beach chairs, beach wagon, umbrellas, two coolers, even some kids toys. Pretty easy walk to Pine Drive and Palm Drive shops/food Only one negative: voracious mosquitos at night in pool area. Unfortunately part of nature, but property could use commercially sprayed or more outdoor fans.

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful, accommodated 6 adults and 1 toddler perfectly. Perfect location 2 minute walk to beach which was never crowded. Restaurants and shops were within walking distance. Host checked in with us asking if we needed anything. We had one very minor issue with clogged a/c filter leaking water and host had it corrected immediately. We were very happy and would 100% stay here again.
