Missy and her property were WONDERFUL. We had three families with 7 kids between 2-7 and it was perfect. The elevated lock on the door leading to pool made us feel extra safe for our kids, the pack and play, high chair, and tons of sand toys and pool floaties got lots of use. Easy one block walk to both the beach and trolley stop-we didn’t rent vehicles nor golf carts and didn’t need to with the ease and convenience of the free island trolley. Loved our stay and had the best time!

We took our adult children and grandchildren for a family vacation. We really enjoyed the home. It was spacious. Everybody had their own bathroom. It was clean and well stocked. The pool was perfect. I’m just a very short walk to the beach. Plenty of beach toys for the kiddos.

Great house, great location!

Family of 12- stayed for 7 days for week of July 4th. Excellent location, one block to the beach (easy walk!) Host was great, stayed in communication during the week. House is nice, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the crows nest and the porches. Spent lots of time out there and all safe for kids to play safely. Pool was great and back yard is private and cozy. Lots of extras (beach equipment, paper products, etc). The only thing I’d warn others is that there are A LOT of stairs (all tile-so can get slippery with sand or water) and three upstairs bedrooms (2 king rooms and bunk bed room) are very small- not a lot of room at all, especially if you have more than two people in a room. Overall, I’d highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

AMI Beach house

There were six adults in our 60s that rented this beautiful house. The bedrooms were very spacious, and we all had a king bed, which were all very comfortable. The upstairs rooftop deck was fabulous, beautiful views. The hot tub in the pool were a hit. The location is right across from the beach and easy to walk to restaurants and watch the beautiful sunset at night. Would definitely enjoy returning to this house.

Birthday Week at the Beach

We spent the week at this beautiful and beautifully maintained beach house celebrating a 70th birthday with 12 kids and grandkids. We could not have been happier with the accommodations and all the amenities. Missy was very responsive to any inquiries we had and was most helpful when we left some items behind. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach close. Overall, a perfect week! We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great place to stay!

We had a great weekend staying at this property! BIG house and the layout is perfect! Parking can get a little tight, especially if you have a large vehicle. The lake view is awesome and the sound of the waterfall next to the house was amazing! Location is prime for both the view and convenience to the stores nearby. The house came with everything we needed for our stay! Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Perfect house for a great family vacation

Our family of 12, ages 19 mo.-64 just returned from a wonderful week enjoying this spacious house. Great location to beach even thou most wanted to just stay and swim in the pool! Foos ball table and arcade game also entertained us all. A nice little park a short block away which has nice little playground and a basketball court. Several bikes which we used a lot and plenty of pool/beach toys, towels, chairs, umbrella, etc. Made for a great week!

Great group getaway near the beach

This is a lovely, well maintained property with lots of extras like beach towels/toys/wagon/chairs/bikes and a well equipped kitchen. The pool area is a private oasis screened off from the close neighbors. It's a very short walk to the beautiful beach, and from the roof you can see water in two directions. Owner was extremely helpful and responsive and provided lots of great local recommendations. Our teen loved the arcade game console and foosball table, and all ages enjoyed the hot tub and heated pool. It's close to grocery and restaurants. Would recommend for a family or group getaway.

Fabulous retirement vacation

I wanted the big house experience with my friends for my retirement. It had everything we needed. With 10 people you need the privacy decks and the four bathrooms, but also the big kitchen and table for 10 for big meals and gatherings. The trees all around the pool was wonderful for privacy from neighbors. I loved the rooftop deck!! Many sunrises and sunsets watch there! The decor was awesome. It was clean and maintained very well. Thank you, I'd highly recommend this VRBO.

Very nice spacious property. Great pool and private pool area. All minor issues were promptly addressed by the owner's staff. The commercial arcade system did not work but the owner offered to send handy man to look at it but we did not need it for our stay and said it could wait for repairs. Awesome partial views from the roof deck of both the bay for sun rise and the gulf for sun sets. Hide-a-bed in the game room was uncomfortable (they always are) so we barrowed the open matress from the bunk beds for that room this worked out much better for our son or bring an inflaitable matress and beding if you need this as a small 6th bed room. The open floor plan was awesome for large parties like ours (12) with penty of misc. cups, dishes, pots, pans etc. Easy walking access to the Gulf beach and a nice park on the bay side for younger children. A Publix and Walgreens are a short drive North or trolley ride as well as a couple souvenier shops. There is a free trolley that runs up and down the island but it seemed we always just missed the bus so it was often 20 minutes wait. USE THE APP for the bus line - scan the QR code and install it - this will help you better time the pick ups at the stops as its real time with the trolleys. The water was calm and warm on the gulf beach (unless its stormy / windy) with little cross current -- great for younger kids. The property was a bit pricy but overall made a perfect place for our large family gathering on AMI. Two Thumbs Up!

We would definitely stay at this property again. The walk to the beach literally was a 5 minute walk, the property was so huge, accomodating, clean and provided the room we needed for all of us to be comfortable but not cramped. Lastly, there were 3 lthings that made our trip outstanding by staying here at Avenue C: 1. Nice pool and hot tub with an outdoor grill and TV set up were nice extras after spending time on the beach 2. Huge common areas that allowed our whole family unit to be together and enjoy each other 3. Perfect location to enjoy the gulf from the upstairs balcony and quick access to restaurants and Publix. Thumbs up to Missy and the team! Finally, an online description and photos on the internet that are accurate and not misleading. It made our trip perfect! David & Marcia W

Gorgeous house, so close to the beach!! 10/10

Me and my family stayed here for our spring break and cannot say enough great things!!! VERY clean and updated. Easy to check-in/check-out, and included instructions for everything. Exactly what we were expecting based on the listing and pictures and more!!! Plenty of room for the large group that we had (including 2 under 2!)It is only 1.5 blocks to the beach but felt less than that, SO close and convient. We had a golf cart to take us to and from just in case, but there is also a beach wagon at the house to help carry things! The overall location was perfect too, close to all the right spots (Publix, Coffee House, Wicked Cantina, etc.)The host is also amazing, checking in with us pre-stay (i had a lot of questions lol) & during our stay frequently and gave us a direct line of communication should anything happen during our trip. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend and would absolutely stay here again!! 3 Thanks so much !!!

Magical AMI

For a second year we rented this beautiful property for a family vacation in November. As reports of the hurricane came in we became concerned about that happening. Melissa was very forthcoming with information about the state of the island and her home. I'm happy to report that Anna Maria is "The little island that could." The island and many restaurant are open and welcoming guests with open arms. The Blue Water Beach House was as warm and inviting as in the past and the beach picture perfect. The effort and tenacity of the property owners and work crew is to be truly commended.

About the host

Hosted by Missy Prout

Host profile image
Our extended family of 12 adults and 9 kids enjoyed a week-long reunion on this amazing Island in the summer of 2011. That is when we fell in love with Anna Maria Island. Our family has been visiting this area on a regular basis ever since. Little did we know that we would one day decide to put down some roots here. We always look forward to our time on the Island...walking the beaches, boating in the Gulf, kayaking in the Bay, playing in the pool, day trips to Busch Gardens, Lego land and Disney, and dining at the many great restaurants on this seven mile stretch. The harsh Wisconsin winters drove us to find our own little slice of heaven that our family (three boys now!) could enjoy in the years to come. Blue Water Beach House and Blue Sky Beach House are meticulously maintained and cared for. Anna Maria Island is one of a kind & we hope your time here gives you the same joy it's given us!

Why they chose this property
