Beautiful clean home. Walking distance to grocery, Icecream, dinner, and breakfast. The best part, the beach was just a short walk away! Pool was wonderful. We weren’t able to get the spa up and going but we still enjoyed every bit of our stay. Would love to come back!

Great home for family vacation

This home was a great place for our family to spend a fabulous week together. We loved the location, close to beach and also walk to Publix and CVS if needed. We also enjoyed our time at the pool and the home had plenty of space for us to eat together and just hang out.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful week on Holmes Beach. The house was great for 3 couples. Very clean, kitchen well equipped, beds were comfy and plenty of room to spread out. The pool and hot tub were a favorite along with the close proximity to the beach. The location is perfect for walking to the grocery store, restaurants & shops. We had such a great time we are planning a return trip next year.

Location, location, location!!

This house was very nice and suitable for our needs. The best part of the house was the EASY walk to the beach. IT was fully equipped with towels, chairs, beach toys. The pool was incredible and such a great addition to our trip. We will say the bedrooms were hot, especially the queen bedroom and our guests had to sleep with the doors open. Overall a great experience and would stay again! Thank you!

Everything you could want for a family vacation!

Maggie and Clay have prepared a great property with all the right touches and "necessities" for a multigenerational family stay. It was clean and well appointed and with welcoming touches, as well as clear instructions and information. The pool was clean and a perfect temperature, especially for our 6-year-old mermaid and our 5-month-old's first swim. The kitchen had it all as well. We wanted for nothing! And it's a wonderful location, only a short easy walk to the beach and to the Publix groceries and other stores and breakfast eateries. We would love to come back.

Ashore Thing

What a wonderful time we had during our 2 week stay at Ashore Thing! The house was perfect for our multigenerational group with plenty of room for all of us together as well as separate space for a variety of activities. The pool was ideal for little people and adults alike. There is absolutely nothing lacking in this beautifully equipped, comfortable cottage! The beach was just a pleasant walk away with all it had to offer: gorgeous sunsets, the beach cafe, shelling. It's the perfect place for a relaxing, reenergizing respite! The excellent, prompt communication from the owners enhanced our experience as well.

Perfect location 🏖️

This house was perfect for our group of 4 adults and two teenagers. Plenty of space for everyone. The heated pool and hot tub were fantastic. The short walk to the beach was perfect. We loved having Publix and all the stores a short block away. Super convenient. We rented golf carts to get around the island. Much easier to find parking in a small golf cart than our big truck we drove. A few tips if you go during spring break - make reservations at restaurants, waits can be long. If you want a golf cart rent a few months ahead of time. They will sell out. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this house again. It was perfect!

We did not want to leave!!!

My family & I stayed at this wonderful property 6/24-7/1/23. We had an amazing time and were sad to go home! The house had all the amenities we needed and then some. My granddaughters loved the pool. Beach which was 99 steps away was clear and a beautiful shade of turquoise. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. House was beautifully decorated. The beach chairs, beach towels, and wagon were a plus. Publix was a few short blocks away as well as shops and restaurants. We saw manatees, dolphins, and even a sea turtle one night at the beach. Thank you Maggie for letting us enjoy your beautiful house! We made some wonderful memories with our family.❤️

Beautiful house and pool in a great location, but some challenges

Since we've been coming to Anna Maria Island for many years, there were no surprises with the location, the beach, our favorite restaurants, shopping at Publix, the trolley, etc. We're not 7-footers, so the beach was definitely more than 99 steps from the house. But it was still a very easy walk with no worries about traffic. While the house and pool were beautiful, we were challenged through the week navigating all of the elevation changes, especially all of the step-ups and step-downs inside the house. We understand that these features are "baked into" the house and aren't going to change - but we would have appreciated an explicit mention of them in the listing, since they detracted from our ability to relax and enjoy ourselves. Overall, though, the accommodations, the pool, and the location were just what we needed for our family. Thanks!

Lovely property, so close to the beach!

We loved our stay at Maggie and Clay’s home. All the amenities for a family of varying ages and tons of space to spread out. The pool was perfect, as well as the covered patio, since we had some unfavorable weather. Thanks for everything!
