Great location

Great property. Great location but getting in and out of the house with the lockbox and dead bolt key combination was a real hassle. We were given the incorrect code to the lockbox, spent 30 minute's trying to get in on our own and with Vaccaso customer support before they realized we wre given the wrong code. This was after traveling almost 8 hrs and it was dark which made it even more frustrating. My wife wss very upside. Every time we left or entered the house the deabbolt key and combination was a real challenge. We wasted a solud hour plus of our vacation trying to get in and out of the house, very frustrating. Some sort of small refund should be issued.

Great cottage near beach

Everything was as advertised. Comfortable cottage. Close to beach. Really enjoyed the backyard. Enclosed with a tall privacy fence with plenty of tall vegetation giving the sense of a small oasis out your back door.

Not timely help

Unfortunately we had several obstacles to our stay. The showers both had mildew, the microwave was dirty, the Wi-Fi did not work and the pool heater was not on. The housekeeping issues were taken care of and a text message helped us get the Wi-Fi back up. I called Custer support concerning the pool and was told it was too on Saturday to get anyone locally to respond. Monday I would get a call back. That never happened. On Tuesday the dishwasher stopped working. I called and a repairman came the next day and repaired it. But I still got no answer about the pool heat. The pool cleaning company finally came on Thursday afternoon and the pool was heater got our last couple days. The customer service line with Vacasa is somewhere out of the country. They are one extra layer between getting help locally. I would not rent again if they were involved

Cute and 100 steps to the beach!

Cute vintage cottage just 100 steps to the beach! Very clean overall but bathroom showers were grungy and desperately need new tile/grout. The pool/patio area is cute, but the door to get there has an alarm that goes off when the door is opened which makes going outside stressful. Can’t open windows for the same reason. Beds are comfortable but squeaky, and in need of more/better pillows. We’ve stayed at several places on Anna Maria Island, and this was a good deal for being so close to the beach. And with a few changes, it could be 5 stars.
