Very nice home, close walk to the beach (1.5 blocks). Really enjoyed the outdoor area with cornhole boards, ping pong and golf putter. It kept our teens occupied and happy!

We loved the property! It was expansive for the 3 family units that we had and large enough for gatherings and eating. Everything was well stocked and very functional. There are distinctly different environments to experience; the quiet porch, the gaming area, the pool/spa, the putting surface and tiki bar, the sun room.Location was great! Close to downtown and close to the beach. The beach supplies; wagon, chairs, umbrella’s were a plus!Comm’s with the Anna Maria Life team were very efficient and responsive. We had a condensate leak in the master bedroom split system that was resolved very quickly. Would definitely recommend! Thanks much for your hospitality.Scott S

This is our second year staying here. The house is beautiful- 3 large bedrooms and baths plus two pullout couches. The outside has a nice heated pool and hot tub, ping pong and a putting green. There are beach chairs and a beach cart. The house is about 2 blocks from a beautiful beach and within walking distance of a spa, restaurants, ice cream and shops. Highly recommend and we are picky!

Everything was very comfortable and spotless clean. The party shed was equipped with wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas and sand base. (A cooler would have been nice.) Any question I asked of the host was met with a speedy response. Nice stay!

Great quiet neighborhood

This was our second time coming to AMI, first time at this property. I'm glad we gave it a second chance because we loved this property and it's location on the island. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves. We are definitely looking to book again next summer.

Perfect House for a Perfect Vacation

This was our 3rd trip to Anna Maria and this was by far our favorite house. My boys loved the barn by the pool, it became their hangout. They loved the little mini golf course. Everyone enjoyed the corn hole boards. The rooms were perfect, each with their own bathroom. The beach was a short walk away. We had an issue with the pool but a quick call to the office and it was fixed the next day. We would definitely like to stay here again next year. Can't beat the location!

Everything you need!

A Reel Beauty was a great place to stay for our family of 6 adults. The home has a great layout & nice furnishings. The home was well stocked with beach and pool equipment, including 2 beach carts and at least 8 chairs. There were plenty of bath and beach towels. The pool barn, putting green and cornhole area were a nice bonus and we enjoyed using those amenities!The pool was clean and well maintained. About a block to the beach! This home does not disappoint.

Real good time at A Reel Beauty

Spent a full week here with family, house was everything we expected and more. From the putting green to the grassy area by the pool, to the amazing pool that our kids enjoyed so much, everything was perfect. The house is well maintained, and packed with everything you'd need for the beach. The beach is a short walk away, we rented a golf cart and it made getting around even easier. Close proximity to Publix made making sure we were well stocked very easy. The customer service was exceptional, answering any and all questions we had once called upon. We'll be using AM Life Vacation rentals for our yearly beach trips to the island moving forward, thank you for an amazing trip that we won't soon forget!

Amazing!

We spent last week at A Reel Beauty in Holmes Beach and it was simply amazing! We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came back. It is a beautiful home that has everything you could possibly need. It is a very short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The kids love the pool, putting green and corn hole boards (the adults do too!). It is centrally located to all the restaurants and shopping. Had a little issue with the faucet in one of the bathrooms and they sent someone right out to fix it - on Memorial day! Not only is the house great but the whole area is too. Everyone is so laid back and friendly. I grew up on east coast Florida and this area has that "old Florida" vibe that I remember! Hope it always stays that way! I plan to be back again next year!!

A Real Beauty is Really Beautiful!

A Real Beauty is an impressive remodel with spacious floor plan, open truss ceilings and well-appointed amenities throughout the home. Excellent location- short walk to uncrowded part of Holmes beach, close proximity to Publix, shops and restaurants, and settled in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool, in the "barn" and on the side patio when we were not at the beach or exploring the island. The pool was set at a perfect temperature and well-maintained. Beds were comfy and we had plenty of towels and beach towels. The dining room area is spacious with an additional living area and its own AC unit- great for large gatherings. Even the established landscape is beautiful. Excellent, friendly customer service when I called in for a question. Overall, A Real Beauty and Anna Maria Life exceeded our expectations and we look forward to staying again!

Gorgeous Property, Great Location, Great House

We fell in love with the property and everything in it. If we had to give any critique to anything, it would be the lack of comfort of the third bed in the smaller bedroom. Highly recommend bringing ice and replenishing daily, the ice machine is a little slow to keep up with summer time drinks by the pool. Other than that the property is wonderful with a ton of room and seating options! We got a notification we could get in early on the day of check-in, but the front door code didn't get turned on until 4. Thankfully, a back door was left unlocked and we got in there. Everything was great other than the smaller bedroom bed. Well done and thank you for making our friends trip fantastic!
