We loved the unit! It was the best location being very close to the water. It was clean with plenty of space and the kitchen was stocked well. Beds were very comfortable and the balcony’s was perfect. The parking was great with easy access to our third floor unit using the quick elevator ride up or using the stairs. Fast and easy communication with the rental company. Would love to stay there again!

First Experience in AMI

The property was absolutely perfect for our family. Very spacious and loved the layout. The very short walk to the beach was ideal for hauling all the chairs/toys out. There was a wagon available to help. We saw dolphins, manatees, sting rays, and enjoyed snorkeling for shells. The pool was also so nice. The property was an ideal location and we hope to return again soon!

Beachfront Dream

This beachfront condo was perfect for our extended family. It was spacious and very well appointed. The balcony was a perfect place to relax and watch the gorgeous sunsets. The location and beach access was phenomenal! Close to the grocery store, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool and having some shade during the heat of the day. Also, the management team was very responsive and helpful. We love it so much that we’ve already booked it for next year! Our only suggestion would be to include more household supplies, such as cleaning products, garbage bags, paper towels, etc.

Even better than the pictures

This house was better in person than the beautiful pictures advertising it. It looks brand new, was so very very clean, was spacious, the bbq and pool area were great, there was a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas and a wagon... I could go on and on. The beach was perfect and enjoyed from inside, on the patio and by walking out the gate. We had a large SUV that wouldn't fit in the garage but the spot provided outside was all we needed. We would definitely stay here again if we traveled to Holmes Beach again.

Overly impressed!

We enjoyed staying at this property with a small group of friends to celebrate our dear friend's 60th birthday. We were impressed with the location, small building, and cleanliness, not to mention the quality materials (silverware, multiple coffee makers, serving platters, variety of dishes, and cookware). We hired a private chef in for the birthday evening and she was impressed with the tools to work with. This home has walk on access to the beach and the pool was just perfect with the waterfall and hot tub. The homeowner took great pride in providing a quality vacation. We're booking again for an annual friends trip. Thank you!!!

Refrigerator/freezer does not work (owner would not fix)

The unit was clean and close to beach. However, after spending over 700 in groceries on day 1, we discovered the refrigerator/freezer didn’t work, and the property management co would not repair. They did, however, bring us numerous towels to place on the floor to absorb the water draining out of the refrigerator /freezer. Unless you don’t need a refrigerator/freezer, don’t rent this unit.

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the refrigerator during your stay. While we strive to respond quickly to unexpected maintenance issues, we understand how frustrating it must have been—especially after purchasing groceries. Our team did provide ice and towels to help manage the water and explored all available options to resolve the issue during your stay. Unfortunately, immediate repairs were not possible due to parts availability and timing. As a gesture of goodwill and acknowledgment of the inconvenience, a $500 refund was issued to your card on file. We sincerely appreciate you staying with us and regret that this issue impacted your experience. Please know that we are taking steps to prevent similar issues in the future. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out directly. Warm regards, Cheryl

Great week on Anna Maria

The location of this property is great! Easy enough to walk up the beach to The Sandbar and down to Holmes Beach. We rented bikes and easily made our way to all other spots we wanted to visit. The condo is beautiful and as listed. The only thing I feel they should add are simple household cleaning products & trash bags. I did not expect we would have to purchase paper towel, toilet paper, windex, kitchen sponges, trash bags, dish detergent, dishwashing detergent. For a rental to this scale those things should be included. The only other issue we had was the lock on our door it was a bit tricky to operate. Apparently, the door was not entirely closed upon our arrival and is why it was not working. We made sure every time we used it to pull the door closed then operate the lock. All in all it was a very nice condo and we had the best weather. We will return!
