4th of July weekend rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was clean and well equipped very close to the beach with a beach entrance right across the street. Loved that there was a wagon and beach chairs in the condo making the beach much more enjoyable. There were a couple of restaurants within quick walking distance. There was a trolley pick up across the street and while we didn’t use the trolley it was very convenient to have if didn’t have a car. The only negative was that the air stopped working twice in the condo. The first time the property management team got it fixed right away but it went out again the next day and we did not realize until that evening and being a Sunday night it did not get fixed prior to our departure the next day which made for a pretty uncomfortable night sleeping and morning packing up and getting ready to leave (82 degrees inside).

Overall great stay

We had a wonderful Christmas on Anna Marie island. The location of unit is great, close to the beach and easy walking distance of good restaurants. The trolley stop is close by making getting around the island easy and convenient . The beds aren't super conformable and some furniture and decor could use some updating. Overall, I would recommend.

Loved it here! The place was clean and tidy! The pictures showed an extra room however there wasnt one. Every appliance worked. Water was hot (shower water took a bit to go down the drain) and felt amazing after a long day in the heat. Alot of placea nearby to walk to. Especially the beach and bayside. Enjoyed it very much!

Hi Whitney, Thank you for being our guest in Sunflower! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Sorry if there is confusion about the bedrooms, it is listed as 3 bedrooms, 2 bath and this is how many rooms it has. In one of the twin bedrooms, you have the option to push the 2 beds together to make 1 larger bed. The binder and extra bedding for this change is located in the closet. Please consider us again for future stays! FDR Team

Great place!

The place was exactly as described on the listing! The layout was great! The location was perfect! Our children had the best time being able to utilize the pool and beach. We also enjoyed the wooden swing at the bay. It was an amazing and relaxing getaway. The only complaint we have is that the queen bed was pretty uncomfortable.. It had a mattress topper on it that wasn’t fitting properly, so at times you celt like you were on a slant. Otherwise, very happy with our stay! Would definitely stay her again! Unfortunately it’s already booked when we want to come back.

Great Vacation Spot!

Great central location on Anna Maria Island! Easy Beach access and great pool and hot tub areas. It was nice to have a choice between a beachside pool and another pool/hot tub on the bayside of the street. Roomy end unit with big living/dining and kitchen area and big screened in lanai. Unit is located right at the top of the steps on the second floor. Elevator available at opposite end of building. Nice and quiet the beginning of January. Walkable to several restaurants and everything at Bridge St. is only a short distance away.

Great place to enjoy some relaxing family time

Loved the place. Not immaculate, but clean enough… I’ve seen worse! Could have been more clear in ad about amenities and where to park. It didn’t specify whether there was a grill (there wasn’t), just said some properties have them, some don’t. The location was fantastic, and the property was well stocked, although it would be nice to provide at least enough shampoo and coffee for the first day (we didn’t arrive until after 11:00 pm). We really enjoyed the hot tub!

Hi Julie, Thank you for staying with us and for writing a review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay and the pool/hot tub area. We are surprised to hear that you did not feel the clean was adequate. FDR does ask that if there is anything you are concerned about you make us aware the first day, so we have the chance to rectify it, if you stay with us in the future, please feel free to reach out. The parking instructions are found inside on the counter along with two parking passes for the complex. Sunny Regards, Florida Dreams Realty Team

Good location, needs updating

It was convenient to the beach. There was no view though of the beach. It was very outdated and the kitchen was ill equipped for cooking. Old appliances. The beds were very hard. We never did find a hose on the building to hose off beach gear. The rental property was helpful when the laundry door fell off but no one ever came to get rid of bugs in the bedroom. We won’t stay here again.

Nice, convenient, but not quite as described

This condo was convenient to a lot of restaurants, things to do, and the beach, and we enjoyed the saltwater pool. Our biggest problem was the 2 twins equal a king claim. The bed frames prevented the mattresses from meeting, and the twin mattresses weren't extra long, so my 6'4" adult son and his wife were not comfortable. I would just stick with calling that bedroom a "2 twin" bedroom.

Hi Barbara, Thank you for being our guest in Sunflower. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience if the twin beds were not long enough, we have changed the description to standard size twin beds. The queen bed offered may have been a better choice for your son's height as it is the same length as a standard king bed. Please consider us again for your future AMI stays! Kindly, FDR Team

Excellent Stay at the Sunflower Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Sunflower condo in April / May 2023. We had a fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for any more! The location is perfect, right across the road from the beach and the pools are nice and warm for when the kids preferred the pool. The condo is also around a 15 minute walk from Bridge St., which has shops and bars, and there is a bus stop right outside for the free Anna Maria trolley. The condo has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked and there are lots of beach equipment such as chairs, tents and toys for kids. The apartment complex was very quiet, which we really appreciated. Florida Dreams were very responsive when I had questions leading up to the stay, and the check in and check out process was very easy.

Nice but could use a few updates

Overall condo was perfect size and so close to the beach. The elevator was broken so made it hard to get luggage up stairs and beach wagon full of chairs down the stairs without help . The floors were a little dirty but I cleaned them up. Took about 2 days for fridge and freezer to get really cold but worked well after that. Multiple beach chairs , wagon , large cooler and umbrella was available . Parking spot was not convenient and tight so we parked outside which was fine. Very minimal in home so if you plan to cook inside will need to bring all spices , foil etc, along with additional garbage bags . Overall we had a great time. The pools were nice and just a few steps across the road to the beach which was so beautiful. Perfect size for our family of 6. Master bed a little uncomfortable and no pillows cases for the extra pillows so we used clean tshirts .

Hello Valerie, Thank you for being our guest. We apologize that the elevator was broke during your stay, our team did offer to move you if anyone in your party could not do stairs and you said it would be ok and did not want to move. Our team responded to your call right away when you reported the fridge wasn't working, we sent a maintenance person and brought a cooler and ice. Maintenance reported it was working but need time to cool down. It is common for it to take refrigerators longer to cool if a guest checked out that morning, the cleaners have it open to clean and then the next guest leaves it open while stocking, especially if it is over filled. In your check-in instructions there is a portion that explains what is provided for your stay so you can plan accordingly. Due to safety regulations, we do not leave open food products which includes spices. After speaking with you on the phone, it sounded like you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the condo and the sunshine. Sunny Regards, FDR team

I stayed at this property a couple years ago and it was nice. This time not so good. Not happy.

I was really disappointed with unit 220 this year. It was listed as totally renovated. It was NOT. There was new LR furniture and that's it. The primary BR literally had the same bedspread as was there 2 years ago when we stayed in the unit. There were multiple things broken- the ice maker, the garbage disposal- which we had to call to get fixed due to a clog in the sink, the towel hanger in the bathroom kept falling off the wall. AND the kitchen appointments were far less impressive than when we stayed before. I literally had 2 TINY skillets to cook for a family of 4. It was ridiculous. Not sure what happened from then to now but we won't be staying in this unit again. Sorry...

Hi Jen, We thank you for being a return guest of ours, we are sad to see that you gave it a low rating. We would like to make a it know that it was not advertised as totally renovated, please see exact discription copied from our website. (This spacious unit is beautifully furnished and recieved a few new updates in September 2021.) If you stay with us in the future and feel that a property is missing something, such as a larger pan, please notifiy us and we are happy to bring one over. We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot keep mechanical issues from arising, the best we can do is send someone over in a timely manner when they occur. We feel that we offered speedy customer service to the best of our abillity and this is not a fair review. Kindly, FDR Team
