Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The unit was mostly clean, though we did find a couple stray dead roaches in the kitchen and when we arrived one of the toilets had been previously used and was not flushed. Both were minor inconveniences, but I do think a deeper clean would be good soon. The noise insulation was basically non existent in the master bedroom, so the family in their pool next door until midnight meant my wife and I could not sleep. However, our kids were in the other room and it had great noise insulation so they slept well.My only other comment is that one of the mornings the reek of marijuana blew in the central AC while we were having breakfast. Im not sure where it was coming from but it did clear out after 45 minutes or so. The location is wonderful, close to the beach and Publix. We had easy access to the private pool and a 5 min walk to the beach. Our family had a wonderful time. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would stay there again!

Great apartment in a great location

The apartment is very nice, bright, and airy. Right on Gulf Drive which can be loud but is also super convenient. Right across the street from the beach. The back deck off the bedroom and the backyard pool area are very quiet if you want sit outside and get away from the noise. The sliding doors also keep out all noise when closed for sleeping. Lots of storage for bikes and beach equipment. Jason was very helpful and responsive to any requests.

Perfect for a long weekend getaway!

I stayed with my husband, mom, and niece for 3 nights at this property. The bottom floor is a garage style floor with an office and lots of beach gear that is available to use. There were multiple chairs, lots of towels available, a beach shade thing that worked pretty well. If you want a cooler - I would suggest bringing one. The Smoquehouse and Gulf Drive Cafe were in walking distance. We decided to rent a golf cart to check out more of the island shopping and food. Highly recommend Minnie’s Beach Cafe for breakfast! All homemade and delicious. Wait on a holiday weekend morning wasn’t bad. The unit we stayed in was on the second floor. It was pristinely clean and spacious! There is a nice balcony out of the back overlooking the pool from the King bed room. The balcony from the front had a view for the beach across the street. It is a busy little road, but it never bothered us! We spent more time at the beach but did use the pool a couple times as well. It stayed at a nice temperature and was clean. It is shared with the unit on the third floor but we never crossed paths. Beware of the birds on the beach. They are bold and if you take any food with you they will snatch it right out of your hands. Maybe eat prior to heading to the beach! The walk over to the VRBO was quick and short so no worries there. Overall I would absolutely stay here again and we all really enjoyed our time.

Florida on Indian motorcycles

We were 2 couples who were traveling through Florida on motorcycles. We loved our stay in Anna Marie island. The place was great- we especially loved the pool and beach access.
