We really enjoyed our stay on AMI. The interior of the house is updated and clean. The pool is very nice and refreshing after a hot day at the beach or kayaking. The living room area is very small with seating only for four though the dining table is large plus bar stool sesting. The screened porch, yard and dock could use some maintenance and upkeep. The dock really needs a ladder and the launch needs to be repositioned for easier access. Overall a good property that met our needs. The owner was very quick to reply to questions and concerns.

Thank you so much for this wonderful 10/10 review! I am so glad to hear that you loved your stay with us and made the most of our close proximity to the beach. Being able to fish right from the dock and jump into the private pool is exactly the kind of relaxing, classic Anna Maria Island experience we love to provide for our guests. Even though some time has passed, your kind words truly mean the world to us. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to Sea Whisper anytime for more fishing, swimming, and sunny days.

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Whisper! We were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go and the beach was so close. Beach towels and a super efficient washer and dryer made things even easier. Watching the manatees off the dock and going for a quick kayak was a great way to wind down after a day at the beach. Jen was easy to communicate with and so helpful.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Sea Whisper and made the most of our prime location, efficient amenities, and kayaks. Watching the manatees from the dock is truly one of the most magical experiences our property offers, and I’m so glad your family got to witness that! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and communicating with you throughout your trip. We would love to welcome you back to your island home away from home anytime for more beach days and manatee spottings!

Long Weekend Stay

This location was the PERFECT place for us and our friends. Centrally located on the North end of Anna Maria Island, it’s only 10-15 min walk to beaches and 8-10 min walk to numerous eating establishments. The house is lovely with a large covered screened-in lanai and a large pool that was great. Supplied with everything you could possibly need. 3 bedrooms each with their own full bath. Open plan kitchen-living-dining area perfect for a small group like ours (6 adults)Communication with owner was easy and quick! Quiet area but very close to restaurants and night life. Would definitely book again next time in AMI!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed 10/10 review! I am absolutely thrilled that Sea Whisper was the perfect fit for your group of 6. We designed the open-concept layout and the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom setup specifically to offer maximum comfort and privacy for families and groups of friends, so it’s wonderful to hear it worked so well for you! Our prime North End location—being tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet just a short stroll from the beaches and Pine Avenue's fantastic dining and nightlife—is truly something special. I’m also glad you loved the large screened-in lanai, the pool, and found our communication quick and easy! Even though some time has passed, your glowing feedback means the world to us. You were amazing guests, and we would love to welcome you all back to your island home away from home next time you visit AMI!

Anna Maria Stay

We had a great stay in Anna Maria. House was perfectly located, plenty of parking, and ample space throughout the house. Every room had its own bathroom which was great. Everything was within walking distance including plenty of restaurants and beaches. Kids loved the outside areas, and the house was decorated nicely and kept clean. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys at the house. Host answered all of our questions very quickly and provided some good advice on restaurants and things to do on the island. Overall a great stay and look forward to coming back in the future.

Good property, great location

This property needs some updating and overall it was a great stay. The decor looked to have been updated 10-15 years ago. We took advantage of the kayaks, very peaceful meandering through the canals. There is one bike, fairly old, so we rented a couple more for our crew. The location is across the street from the community center (pickleball or tennis for $20/person - 3 indoor courts as well). The entire island is convenient for riding bikes, golf carts, or just walking. There aren’t enough restaurants to handle the busy season, expect to wait quite a while for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Overall enjoyable stay and the owners were easy to work with.

some pros, some cons

Pros: Overall the property was nice. There was just two of us, so there was more than enough room for us to stretch out, but the property would also be good for a family or couples that might want to travel together as each bedroom has a bathroom attached. The inside of the house was clean upon arrival, and the bed in the bedroom that we used was comfortable. The washer/dryer seemed new and the wi-fi worked without issues. The covered patio outside was also nice and came in handy for a few rainy days that we had during our stay. The pool person came each Thursday to check the pool, the grill worked well (although a bit worn on the inside), there were a few eating options within walking distance and the neighborhood was quiet. There were some beach chairs and a beach umbrella for use as well, although a few of the chairs were in rough shape. There were some bikes there that I assume were for guest use which was a nice gesture, but they were in rough shape and the tires were flat so the were unusable. Cons: The owner sent a separate rental agreement that stated limited supplies of certain household amenities would be provided such as toilet paper and dish soap, but it was a little disappointing to find what little was actually provided based on the price point of property. We were also surprised to find no dish rack to dry dishes on and to find the lock on one of the sliding doors was not working. (It was basically some loose screws that we were able to tighten enough, and we emailed the owner to make they were aware so they could fully address it after our stay) The outside of the property was a little messy with construction debris/materials stored under the stairs of the garage as well as in a little blocked off patio area which you had to look at as you went to/from the pool or dock. Again, we were blessed to have the opportunity to take a trip like this in the first place, but when you are on vacation I don’t necessarily want that to be what I have to look at. One last thing was that that the shower in the bedroom we stayed in was lacking a gasket on bottom of the glass door so every time you took a shower, the floor by the shower was flooded with water which needed to be cleaned up.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback regarding our wonderful location and the comfort of our 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom interior. However, we are deeply shocked and saddened by the 2/10 rating, which seems incredibly disproportionate given your positive compliments about the home itself. We take property maintenance very seriously. Regarding your outdoor feedback: The Tree Stump: The tree stump in the yard is a direct result of the severe hurricane that recently hit Anna Maria Island. Removing it requires heavy machinery and coordination, which has already been scheduled with our landscaping team. The Porch Screens & Pool Area: Maintenance in Florida is a continuous effort, especially post-storm. The ripped screens have already been replaced, and the pool area has received a deep detailed pressure washing and landscaping refresh. We always communicate openly and wish you had brought these temporary outdoor storm-recovery items to our attention during your stay, as we would have happily addressed what we could immediately. We are committed to maintaining a true 5-star standard for all future guests.

Great Location for a Great Time

Sea Whisper is in an excellent location on the north end of Anna Maria Island within very close walking distance of all the shops and food on Pine Street, as well as just a short walk (or drive) to the beach. The property was very clean for us and Jenny was in close communication throughout our stay. She was an excellent and gracious host. We even saw some manatees in the canal behind the house. The pool was a pretty cold, but the kids swam in it a couple of times. The beds were very comfortable. Overall an excellent stay.

Super Spacious

The home was well maintained and so large and comfortable. The best part would have to be the outdoor area. The large covered porch was perfect as our stay occurred during a windy tropical storm. The porch allowed us to enjoy the outdoors! Home was protected from wind and rain. Great open living space and beds were very comfy. Pool area could use some TLC, but it was great to sit on the deck and watch the wildlife on the water.
