Lovely home, needs deep cleaning

This was a lovely home, it was being cleaned when we arrived. Our check in time was 4 pm we didn’t get in until almost 6. In their haste to clean they did a very poor job. Would stay again if cleaning was assured.

Bad Service

We have been staying at Anna Maria Island for 15 years. This is always during holiday weeks, after Christmas or spring break. This was by far the worst experience that I have had in these 15 years. I do not usually write reviews. I’ve had only 1 or 2 mediocre stays on the island during the 15 years. We stayed after Christmas and it was colder than normal barely 60 degrees during the day. We’ve dealt with cooler weather in Florida in the past and it really is not a big deal. Generally we plan ahead and will rent a place that advertises a hot tub and a heated pool. The place was fine. Location was nice. This was a management company that I was not familiar with. The management company was Evolve. They listed two phone numbers for their local guest contact, the first one was their housekeeper/secretary and the other was the maintenance/owner. Come to find out owner was at the place a month before we came and left the day that we got there. There was no binder with instructions, had to hunt for a comforter for the master bedroom. The place wasn’t dirty, but wasn’t necessarily clean. There was a lot of dust in corners, ceiling fans. The fridge had an odor and there was a sewing needle in the rug that I stepped on. The pool was not warm and we had to contact the owner who seemed nonchalant about it and the hot tub even after the pool guys came out, never got really hot. Owner was condescending on why I would want a heated pool if there was a beach to enjoy.

Terrific vacation house!

Our 2 week stay on Anna Maria Island was fabulous!! Location of the house was perfect. Proximity to the beach was great. The rental listing doesn’t specify in detail all the items that are available for the beach, including a beach tent. Being able to pull inside the garage and unload as well as pack, the car was a bonus. It made a hot chore more bearable in the summer heat. Nice size kitchen with lots of extras. Living room with the big oversized wraparound sofa was perfect for the 3 of us, after a long day. The large covered porch was a bonus!! Like most summer days, we had pop-up thunderstorms, and were able to sit outside under the ceiling fans an enjoy the rain. I don’t believe the loveseat, oversized chair with ottoman and coffee table were visible in the photos of the porch. The master bed and queen bed were both exceptionally comfortable. The black out blinds allowed us to sleep in, which we all loved. The mature palms trees and other vegetation around the backyard made it very private and quiet for a late afternoon dip in the pool. The size of the house and the layout was just right for the 3 of us. Everyone had their own space. We were never on top of each other. Dave, the property contact was very attentive. We reached out about a couple of things and even got a few good restaurant recommendations. All in all a great vacation rental and we would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks and thank you allowing us to bring our two corgi’s.

Comfortable home close to beach and trolley

Our stay at the home on Holmes beach was very nice. the weather was great and the home was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. We spent every day at the beach and closed each day with a swim in the pool and hot tub. The Host Dave was very accommodating and responded to our questions very quickly. We will be back.
