House was clean and the pool was warm. Very close drive to the beaches but renting bikes is the way to go to avoid the long lines of traffic. Pool area to the dock is a little slippery as it is just small stones and no steps. We took a couple of falls

Comfortable and convenient FL escape!

This property was exactly what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The best part was the super convenient location, with all that Anna Maria Island has to offer just a very short drive away. A few minor things looked like they were in slight disrepair (screen porch door, outdoor furniture, garage door) but the interior was otherwise pretty immaculate. We had a little miscommunication with the property manager regarding checkout, but resolved it pretty quickly and did not impact our stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the area without actually being on the island.

Nice place with a couple issues

Rental process was easy and smooth. Home is nice with a great pool area, although it is very clear that this is purely a rental property for the owners. The furniture throughout is fairly uncomfortable, including the pool furniture, which consists of some plastic lounge chairs and a very small and upright seating area - no way to lie down and relax. The mattress in the master bedroom is shot and sags badly towards the middle. We were charged to heat the pool, but the property manager refused to heat the pool above 85 degrees (90 is pretty standard for this time of year), so even after being charged the pool was really too cold to use (the weather was cloudy and windy, so not ideal conditions). The kitchen is very nice and well stocked and the property was immaculately clean.

House was dirty and not worth what we paid.

I rarely give negative reviews but I feel it is necessary here. We were disappointed with the overall condition and cleanliness of the unit for what we paid. Furniture is uncomfortable, house was NOT clean. Open first aid kit with wrappers in kitchen cabinet, shower had mold, used napkins and left over food under kitchen trash can, stains on comforter, cigarette wrappers in dining area, cushions on outdoor furniture do not fit furniture and master BR is hot compared to the rest of the house. On a positive note, Kitchen was updated and well stocked and pool was nice. Most likely will not rent again for the $$.

5 stars! Would stay here again!

We checked in on a Wednesday and sadly my teenager woke up Thursday morning with a cold. The last thing that you want to happen the first full day of vacation. But, the way the house was laid out she could rest comfortably while we still were able to make the most of it, until the rest of us got her cold… then we were thankful for comfortable beds and easy to use televisions. We made the most of our trip and have great memories. The amazing woman across the canal, Chasten Whitfield, (a professional fisherwoman) came over to help our 8 yr old set up her fishing pole. She caught some catfish right in the canal and thanks to Chasten we knew not to touch them! We had minor things come up, a drain was clogged, sliding screen door fall off the track, and two outlets were not working. The property manager was so quick and helpful. We truly appreciated her help! Overall we made the best of a bad situation and even though it was not the vacation we hoped for, the pool was amazing while we were able to use it, the bedrooms were comfy and the house was clean and well stocked. We had a few requests that they graciously helped us out with and we look forward to staying here again when we are all healthy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PROPERTY!!
