Pool Heating Disclaimer
Please note that pool heaters are weather-dependent. When outdoor air temperatures drop below 55°F, electric pool heaters will not operate, and pool water will remain cold. Even when temperatures rise slightly above 55°F but stay in the low 60s, the heater may produce minimal heat and may not significantly warm the pool.
The only way to guarantee a consistently warm pool during colder months is with a gas pool heater, which can operate in very low temperatures but requires substantial gas usage to maintain warmth.
By booking during cooler months, guests acknowledge that pool temperature and heater performance are directly affected by weather conditions, which are beyond the control of the property owner or management. We strongly recommend reviewing and acknowledging this information prior to booking to ensure clear expectations regarding pool heating during your stay.
Important Note: When you stay at our vacation rental homes, we want to ensure your experience is comfortable and convenient right from the start. Each home comes with a thoughtfully prepared starter pack to help you settle in seamlessly. This pack includes:
- *Laundry Detergent*: Enough for your initial laundry needs. - *Dish Soap*: For easy clean-up after meals. - *Dish Sponge*: Essential for washing dishes. - *Dishwasher Pods*: A few pods to kickstart your dishwashing. - *Toilet Paper*: Two rolls per bathroom to get you started. - *Paper Towels*: One roll for quick clean-ups. - *Extra Trash Bags*: To accommodate your waste disposal needs.
Please note that we do not provide used kitchen items like oil, spices, or butter, ensuring a fresh start for your cooking adventures. Additionally, all homes are equipped with drip coffee makers, but remember to bring your own coffee filters to enjoy your morning brew.
With these amenities, you can focus on enjoying your vacation without the worry of running out of essential supplies.
Early Check In & Late Check Out: From February through August, we regret to inform our guests that early check-ins and late check-outs will not be available. This decision is due to a high volume of reservations during these peak months, which unfortunately limits our ability to accommodate flexible check-in and check-out requests. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to plan your arrival and departure times accordingly. Thank you for your cooperation!

We absolutely loved this house. It was exactly as advertised! Communication with the property manager was fast. I couldn’t recommend this enough for anyone looking to stay on the island. We’ve been coming since 2021 and this house is my favorite so far!

About the host
Hosted by Kiri Stewart
I grew up in Bradenton, but Anna Maria holds a special place in my heart, as my mom spent her childhood there until I was born. As I prepare to welcome my third child, I’m embracing the beautiful chaos of family life while pursuing my passion for interior design.
With a portfolio that includes over 150 homes on Anna Maria, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Bradenton, as well as two restaurants and six hotels, my design work reflects the vibrant charm of these coastal communities. After a decade of managing homes in Anna Maria and Bradenton, I took a step back to focus on design, but I’m excited to return to home management!
Anna Maria's quaintness captivates me; it’s truly a wonderful place to create lasting memories with family and friends.
Why they chose this property
South harbor drive is a great location and very walkable!
