Great Stay

We had a great vacation! Home was clean and had everything we needed for our week-long stay. The backyard is the best part - loved the pool and patio area. Host included basically everything you would need for the beach - sand toys, chairs, floats, even a beach cart. Would love to stay here again if we ever return to Anna Maria Island.

November Stay on AMI

My husband and I loved this house! It was exactly as pictured in the listing, if not even more charming in person. We also loved the location - short walk to an uncrowded stretch of beach, short walk to shops and restaurants, and a quick drive to Pine Ave. We will definitely book this property again in the future!

Great week at AMI

We truly enjoyed our stay at the house. It was everything the description detailed. The house layout was great, warm, and inviting. Beds were comfortable. The outdoor patio and pool were wonderful. The only thing missing was washcloths in the bathroom. We definitely would stay at this house again.

Perfect place for the three of us! The house was amazing. Very clean and the outdoor space was great! Never even sat at the inside dining table because we ate every meal outside! The pool was fantastic especially after a day at the beach. The beach was just a short walk down the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

I've rented several properties on Anna Maria and this was one of the good ones! Clean and well decorated to get you into the beach mood. Perfect location with a 5 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Very well appointment with all of the things we needed in the kitchen. Pool was a great size for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. Anna Maria Life manages the property and they are very good to work with. Just wish the weather would have cooperated a bit more!

Perfect!

This was a wonderful home. It had everything you could ever need and was beautifully decorated. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into every little detail. The backyard pool area was beyond anything we could have hoped for. So private - a true tropical paradise. We will be back!

Better than pics!

Very nice house 1 block from beach. Owners super nice. They had to stop by and were apologetic for interrupting our vaca and gave us a $25 restaurant card. We had 2 small issues that maintenance resolved within an hour. Highly recommend. My only suggestion is a better mattress.

This was our first time vacationing on Anna Maria Island and I can honestly say it will not be our last time. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the time we walked into our vacation home. The owners have really went above by making sure everything was right. The home decor in every room really made you feel like you we're definitely at the beach with all the beach theme through out the home. The back yard oasis was our perfect hangout. It also was done up beautiful. Looking forward to next years visit and we will stay in the same home.

Never wanted to leave

This house was a slice of paradise. Everything was immaculate. The pool was perfect for our teenage daughter and her two friends to stay in until 11pm most nights. Super quick walk to the beach to catch the incredible sunsets. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, shopping, and ice cream. The yard is gorgeous. What I really liked was the space. TONS of room to store your belongings so that it didn't feel like you were living out of a suitcase. The master has this massive "walk in closet" area. I would rent again in a heartbeat!

Second time staying here!!! Love!!

Our stay this year was our second in this particular home, and the third on the island. We just love this property. It has everything you need, and the backyard and pool are absolutely perfect. We like the quick walk to the beach and appreciate the crossing light because we have small kids. A short walk or cart ride to multiple restaurants, shops, ice cream, etc. such a great location central to everything. Every time we came home from an outing big or small, we felt happy to be "home." We plan to stay again next year if scheduling allows. Thank you for opening your home to us! There are a few things I would suggest for improvement, but the owner can contact me privately to discuss, as they don't impact my review and aren't necessary to publicize.

Island Gateway

The home was nice, but a bit pricey for the location and size. Extra shading was needed on the pool deck and there was an outside retractable awning that looked new and would have provided the extar shade needed. However there were no instructions and property manager was going to check on it and never got back to us about it.

Perfect vacation

We had a lovely time at this VRBO. Beach access was super easy. Very comfortable rooms and living spaces. Loved the pool, backyard, lots of natural light, comfy beds, and beautiful living spaces. Only improvements I would make: water pressure in main bathroom shower was inadequate to take a shower—guests had to use master bathroom for this. Kitchen was missing a few essentials, but Anna Maria Rentals was prompt about remedying the situation. I would recommend a full inventory be done because there are still things missing such as a complete set of measuring cups and there are very few bowls available. Also, just so you know-there are a few Corning ware pieces in there that are worth a lot of money because they are antiques and I would hate the owner to lose them if someone breaks them. Wonderful stay…thank you!

Great stay, but unexpected eye sore in the yard

We really loved the location of this unit. Also the size was perfect for our family of 4 and my mother. Unfortunately I was a little misled by thinking the camper mentioned in a previous review would be moved. It’s also not shown in the pictures. But there is a huge RV parked in the backyard and it’s a real eye sore. Also, the mattresses are terrible. All the adults backs hurt all week. And be prepared to wash the comforters, one had a fecal spot on it and the others did not smell clean either. So I wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately based on the camper and terrible mattresses.

Great Location

The house has an open floor plan with a private fenced back yard and pool. The kitchen is large with a nice fridge and stove. To our disappointment there was a very large motor home with a boat parked on the side and back yard. No matter where you sat in the back yard you viewed the motor home. The description of the property along with pictures did not disclose this. The motor home and boat blocked the windows in both bedrooms. The location is great for walking to nearby restaurants and shopping. The master bedroom is nice size but the pillows and bedding need replacing . Provided are king size pillows but only standard pillow cases. Overall the house is nice but we should have been informed about the motor home which was a huge disappointment. We have been going to AMI for years and always rent for a month. The rental company should have disclossed the presence of the motor home. The kitchen drawers were dirty inside, the ice maker was broken, screen on sliding glass doors was torn, the track for the doors were extremely dirty.

Very nice home

We were very happy with the home overall. The interior is very nice with a very functional and comfortable layout. It is one of the nicer homes we've stayed at on Anna Maria / Holmes. There were very minor issues that did not require notice for us to enjoy our stay that we alerted the rental company to upon check out. If the prior renter had done the same I'm sure the minor issues would have been dealt with prior to our arrival. The outdoor space is also quit nice but wasn't what exactly suits us. The pool area is a bit overgrown with the landscaping. It keeps debris in the pool daily and seems to allow mosquitos a nesting area that then become a nuisance around dusk. The need to spend a few moments each day collecting the leaves from the pool was made difficult by a quit worn out pool net. The pool is mostly shaded which I'm sure for some is a plus we happen to prefer a sunnier pool area. This is more of a personal preference than an issue. The pool area is nice, I would suggest some landscaping to help with the overgrown feeling. I would recommend this home even though the outdoor space doesn't fit what we prefer the overall experience was very good.
