Great spot for a girls' beach getaway!

We got a call that the property was ready before the 4:00pm checkin time and we really appreciated that courtesy. The house was very clean and well-appointed; you could tell that thought had been put into the finishings. I slept on the pullout couch which was a Rowe product and I was very comfortable. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were either at the beach a short walk away, or enjoying the house. Highly recommend.

Loved the property

The kitchen setup was great. Lots of dishes and other items that allowed for a variety of cooking to occur. The living room furniture was well positioned and more comfortable than we have experienced in other rental properties. The bedrooms were comfortable but we would have liked more variety in pillows. So thinner and softer pillows in addition to the larger and firmer ones we found. We really enjoyed the garage area and in particular the ping pong table. It helped having that option when the weather was cooler or rainy. Overall, we had a great time visiting the beach, spending time on the island, and staying at the house.

Great place, great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a great size, nicely laid out, and had all the amenities and extras you could ask for. The management company is great; we had an issue with our initial booking (entirely my fault) and they were great in helping working with us to fix it. Good communication via email and text about check-in and our stay. Beach access literally just a few houses down. We've stayed a lot of places in AMI, and this is our favorite. Would happily return.

Good Times!

Our family loves Anna Maria Island. The house was very nice and for the most part very clean. The provided beach equipment was in fare order and the walk wasn't bad to get out to the ocean/beach. There were some stained sheets and towels (i'm sure from use), none of floor rugs had been cleaned under and the inclosed first floor (basement) was not swept/cleaned out and full of sand. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.
