This was an excellent stay for 6 adults. There was plenty of space for everyone and ample accommodations. The property is a short walk to the beautiful beach, and the private screened pool is cool and relaxing after a day at the beach. Property was just as described.

Thank you so much! We’re really pleased you all enjoyed your stay!
House is in a great location and is exactly as pictured! This is our third year staying here and the owners have made improvements every year! Can't say enough good things about this property.
The house was perfect for us. We arrived very late but keys were waiting for us. We loved the pool and riding bikes to Bean Point and Pine Ave. great communication with the owner. We’ll stay there again but next time we’ll get paddle boards to explore the canal.
We had a wonderful stay! The property is in a quiet location, yet just a short walk to the ocean and several great restaurants—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed spending time at the pool, and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The laundry room was super convenient, especially for a longer stay. The beds were also very comfortable, making it easy to unwind at the end of the day.

We had a great week at Debbie’s place. The house was perfect. We loved the location, the private heated pool, the dock, and the neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet even on Spring Break. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you again!

We are so pleased to hear your family enjoyed their stay! Thank you very much for taking time to write a review. You are always welcome!
This is our second year renting this property. We love it! Great space, nice outdoor area with upper deck, pool and of course the dock backing on one of the canals. Our favourite spot to sip our morning coffee while watching the fish jump by. We highly recommend it!!!
This is the second time we have stayed here! They have made some wonderful upgrades to the house. We love the outdoor shower and the screened in pool! There is plenty of room for our family of 7 to play games and eat together in the evening! We especially enjoyed the charcoal grill. The house is in a fantastic location - easily accessible to everything AMI has to offer by bikes or walking.
We look forward to staying here again!

Great location for the north of the island, short walk to beaches and resultants. House is a good size, and well maintained, a gas bbq would improve the outdoor space.
Everything was ok, but wished they would
Have supplied a few basic items like trash bags and more than one roll of toilet paper also no laundry detergent.

I appreciate you letting us know that there were not starter trash bags, TP, laundry detergent, etc. There should have been and I have contacted the housekeepers. I do apologize.

This was our 2nd time in Anna Maria, and this house was great. There were 7 of us, and the house was plenty comfortable. My whole family loved swimming in the pool, fishing and kayaking off the dock, and the short distance to town and beaches. Literally a 4 minute walk to sunrise and 10 minute walk to sunset. Communication with owners and property management company was easy, timely, and thorough. Definitely would recommend for a great family vacation.
