Hi Aaron, Thank you for taking the time to review our Beach Retreat, The Blue Haven. We are so happy you found this unit a very cute place! I'm sorry the pool heat was not turned on during your stay. We did reach out to the pool technician, and will ensure it is turned on moving forward. We look forward to hosting you again the next time your travel bring you to Anna Maria Island.

We loved our stay. It was very clean. We were able to walk to the beach everyday. It was just a couple of blocks away. They had a wagon, a couple of beach chairs and an umbrella in the closet to use. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful experience. The communication back-and-forth with our host was seamless. The unit itself was decorated wonderfully, very clean and super comfortable. Although we were never able to use the pool because of the weather it did look very inviting. Overall our stay was wonderful. Great location.

This beach home was an ideal choice for our family. The entire house was spotless and equipped with everything we needed for a week-long stay.The pool, though small, was spacious enough for our family of four. It was a refreshing spot to cool off after a morning spent at the beach. The outdoor shower was a great addition. The kitchen and living room area were cozy and inviting.The bedrooms were perfect, with comfortable mattresses and plush linens.The location was conveniently situated near numerous restaurants and shops, making it easy for us to explore the area.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return to this beautiful beach home in the future!

Amazing place, host and stay! Can’t recommend more. The only thing to note is that it does not have an electric kettle but the traditional one on the stove. We didn’t mind at all. The host even provided a stroller for the baby!

Hi Lucia, Thank you for taking the time to review our Beach Retreat, the Blue Haven! This home is new to the rental market, and we are thrilled you found it amazing! The stroller at the home is such a nice addition! I can definitely pass along the recommendation of an electric kettle to the owners to see if they'd be interested in purchasing one. We look forward to hosting you again the next time your travels bring you to Anna Maria Island!
