We loved that all rooms had bigger beds. Great location! House had everything we needed! You do have to go up stairs to get to the living room, kitchen, bedrooms etc., so if you have a hard time with stairs, it could maybe be an issue. But the property even had beach chairs you could use and extra beach towels. It was a great place. I would stay at this property again.

we enjoyed the house and it was very close to the beach. the only issue was the rugs in the bathroom were quite dirty looking. it was pretty far from restaurants, coffee, and ice cream but if you have a golf cart as we did it was an easy trip to everything

I am furious we texted/called the morning we left as my sons air pods were left behind and we left the place emasculate so I know the were in plain sight. After numerous phone calls and watching the location no one would call me back and eventually the air pods location was off. We have screenshots showing they were there. Basically stolen property now. Very upsetting as we made sure to leave the place spotless. The guy I talked to 3 times said it hadn’t been cleaned and that when they got it cleaned he would get back to me. Whoever cleaned that property stole my son’s air pods. It’s very disappointing!!
Great location. Very clean, walk across the street to the beach. We rented a golf cart for our four days, so we were able to get to many restaurants and bars within minutes. Highly recommend this house

Great house, very comfortable and clean. Close to everything. We all enjoyed it completely. The only ding I give the property is to update the beach chairs and beach equipment. They were worn or broken and not enough chairs (there were only 4 of us). Everything else was perfect.

We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the beach chairs and equipment. We’ll be sure to share this with our team so we can make improvements. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed everything else, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The location of property is very nice. Beach access is a 2 min walk across the street (with a wagon and chairs provided by owner). We ate out and there were plenty of dining options around from seafood to BBQ. It’s central to multiple beaches but the beach across the street was much quieter and more space. Property was clean and only hiccup was construction workers upon arrival (not owners fault), but owner was easy to reach and made sure all was good. Would recommend to stay with adults or children.

The property is nice. Close to the beach. Could use a deep clean and some repairs. Sinks hold water and downstairs shower does not turn on all the way. Otherwise very nice set up for a beach stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the internet issue. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention, and we responded promptly to address the situation. Our customer service team followed up with you several times to provide updates as we worked with the internet provider to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, this was an outage on their end, and they had to send a technician out to fix it, which was outside of our control.
We understand how important reliable internet is, and we’re sorry for any frustration this caused. While the issue was being handled by the provider, our team remained proactive in keeping you informed throughout the process. We hope this helps clarify the situation, and we are here for any future concerns.
Thank you for your understanding.
Nice and clean but not overlly impressed abot the busy noisy road so close.

Location was perfect! Literally across the street from 2 easily accessible beach entrances. View from outside master suite of ocean was a bonus! Close proximity to anything on the island. We already discussed coming back, and staying at this same location, and we just left today! Highly recommended!

The unit is in a great location, and has the essentials to enjoy your stay. Chairs for the beach, grill, kitchen essentials for the most part. There is parking right off the main road, and a very short walk to the beach.While we were there is was super cold and windy, so we spent more time in the unit then we planned. The island is still in repair generally from the hurricanes. Anna Maria island is still beautiful and this place would be a great location to stay - I’ll be back when the weather is warmer and the island a bit more repaired

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the great location and found the unit equipped with everything you needed for your stay. It’s wonderful to hear that the short walk to the beach and convenient parking added to your visit.
We’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate this time, but we appreciate your understanding as the island continues to recover from the hurricanes. Anna Maria Island truly is a beautiful destination, and we’re so glad you plan to return when the weather is warmer and the island is even more vibrant.
We look forward to welcoming you back for a perfect beach getaway in the future!
Very lovely home across the street from the beach and a short drive to modestly priced restaurants and a major grocery store. My daughter remarked that she didn't know how they got it so clean, because there was no sand anywhere. Lots of stairs, but they are indoors, well-lit, and carpeted. We loved the master suite with the big balcony, which has a separate access so anyone can use it. Thoughtful design.

Nice to walk across the street to beach only concern
Worried A/C won’t handle hot weather though. It was only 80 and it struggled. And I was solo two days and gone most of the day and kept stairs door closed also.
Booked before hurricanes hit and the area is still recovering, but the unit is in good shape. Great location across from beach and within a mile or two of shopping and restaurants. Well-stocked, older appliances (except for fridge). Great master suite and two porches is nice. Dinged because one of bedrooms was pretty musty/mildewy upon arrival and stayed that way for most of the stay. Must have been some water issue we weren’t informed of. They had a dehumidifier blowing but the filter was entirely clogged and no replacements.. would have been nice to have a heads-up about it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location, master suite, and the amenities the unit offers. However, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with one of the bedrooms.
We understand how important a comfortable and fresh environment is during your stay. It sounds like the dehumidifier wasn’t operating at full capacity due to the clogged filter, which we deeply regret. This is not the standard we strive to maintain, and we are addressing this immediately to ensure future guests do not encounter a similar issue.
We also appreciate your note about receiving a heads-up. Transparency is important to us, and we’ll work to improve communication about any ongoing maintenance or conditions in the unit.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We value your feedback and would love the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do to make it right.
We stayed a week and all was positive except the following: on arrival the master bathroom was not clean but we called them the next morning and they promptly had cleaning people take care of it. One other issue was the when using the washing machine the high water flow into the drain siphons the trap allowing sewer gas to smell up the master bedroom. We remedied this by slowing pouring 12 ounces of water into the drain. The also make anti siphon devices to solve this.

We also appreciate you bringing the washing machine drain issue to our attention, and we're grateful for your suggested solution. We'll definitely look into it and consider installing an anti-siphon device to prevent this from happening in the future. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back for another great stay!
We had an amazing stay! The house and location were great. We had a couple of hiccups the first day. The WiFi and the AC wasn’t working. When I called the property manager jumped on it and it was addressed the next day. Luckily it was cool enough to open windows for the evening. Plenty of space for our family of 4 with room to spare. We throughly enjoyed the balcony and being a few steps from the beach. Place was overall clean, only issue we had was we found carpet staples everywhere but I assume it was from recent renovations. I think we picked most of them up, but just be cautious in the area overall as the island is still in recovery mode.

The unit was fine. Beds were great but furniture overall needed upgrading. Refrigerator worked fine but looked bad-sounds like a new one is coming. Walls needed new paint. Great showers and bathrooms! Our goal was to be outside as much as possible so the overall condition of the unit was acceptable. The Red Tide was terrible so that was the only downside of the 3 weeks there.
