We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return. We enjoyed the layout of the condo. It was comfortable and functional. One the best parts is how close it is to the beach as it made it so easy to come and go throughout the beach days. Property is well maintained and stocked with dishes, pots, and such. Location was ideal as well. It was close to grocery store, shopping, and yet it didn't seem to busy. We loved the views of the beach and water from the deck. Overall, it was a relaxing and comfortable experience. We would stay again!

Nicely decorated, very clean and neat. Loved the colors, very comfortable. Loved the high top table and chairs on balcony. The beach was perfect so we saw no need to visit the pool.

It was a joy to host you! We appreciate your visit and can’t wait to welcome you back.
This place is right on the beach, the pool is shared with a very small community and for our family of 4 the condo was perfect! We loved being steps from the beach. Great spot on the island about a mile from anything you could want! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

What an awesome week. Very nice location in Holmes Beach. Condo was very clean, and spacious. Had everything you need for the week. Short walk out to the beach. There is a beach access next to the condo. But in September, it's not that crowed. Island Vacation Rentals texted me often to make sure my trip was going well. I even sent them a few texts and got the answer back quickly. I would like to come back in the future.

It sounds like you had a wonderful experience overall, despite the initial hiccup with accessing the internet and the missing beach chairs. The condo's beauty, comfort, and the stunning view must have made up for those inconveniences. It's great to hear that the management company was able to rectify the situation promptly once you were able to reach them. Planning to return next year indicates that despite the initial issues, you were pleased with your stay and are looking forward to coming back.

We had the most incredible stay! Amy was absolutely amazing with communication and making sure we were more than ok on our stay! She was a gem. This property is in the perfect location! Very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved being able to see the ocean from the balcony and even when in the kitchen. We would love to come back again! Thank you for everything:)

The unit is just as advertised. A few steps to the beach and near restaurants and businesses but not in the middle of them. A couple of minor things- garbage disposal did not work and drain was slow running, and the info on the hospitality app needs updating( Wi-Fi info inaccurate ). The unit itself is very comfortable, master bed awesome, and balcony has a great view of the gulf. The rental company was wonderful. Overall this is a definite 5 star.

Nice ocean view from second story condo. Beautiful condo on the ocean. Not handicap accessible though. 28 narrow wooden steps up to this condo. A little tight getting suitcases up and down. Pool was not heated or cleaned while we were there.

Thank you for your five star review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed this ocean front unit with amazing views. We work with the pool maintenance companies to ensure the pools are clean. When requested the pool heater can be turned on before Thanksgiving. We hope you will visit us again.
We enjoyed the view. The renovations that have been done are very nice. More renovations needed. Master bedroom bed uncomfortable. Very noisy outside every morning with garbage and recycling pickup but we assume unavoidable. Carpet is worn, master needs walls repairs and repainting. Popcorn ceilings a negative. Well stocked in kitchen. Pool area disappointing. We feel unit was overpriced.

Condo was very nice. Very spacious. It was a little hard to keep cool but with high temps it wasn’t to surprising. The master bedroom was much hotter then the rest of the house. We bought a fan and set in it the doorway to help circulate the air and it helped a lot. Pool was great, beach was literally 30 steps from the condo. Condo was very clean and well stocked. There was some beach stuff which helped since we flew in. We had trouble with the door code upon arrival and the management property answered the phone on a Saturday night and got us keys. Nice condo and would stay there again!

Reviewer Comments:
This was my family’s first trip to AMI. We’ve been going to Sanibel for the last 12 years, but due to last years hurricane, we decided to try some place different. The unit was clean and well appointed. Access to beach was so easy. We rented chairs for the week. As the island is small, access to grocery restaurants, other beaches was easy. The only downside to the unit is the master bedroom could benefit from room darkening shades. Full on sunlight in that room. My husband and I were up by 6:15 every morning.

Thanks so much for the great review and we are happy to hear you enjoyed Seaside Beach House! We take all reviews seriously and will relay the concern about the sunlight in the master bedroom. Hope to see you again soon!
Our first impression walking up to the unit was a bit underwhelming. The stairs were narrow, steep, and very dark. I would not recommend this unit for elderly or those with troubled knees. It was ok for us though and after lugging our suitcases up, we never were bothered by the stairs for the rest of the week. The unit was nicely decorated, very clean, and nice and bright. It was the perfect size for my family of three (me, husband, 10 year old daughter). Most importantly, the view of the beach and the ocean was incredible. We really enjoyed that the unit had several games that we could play together in the evening. Easy access to the beach. Pool was lovely and felt so refreshing after a long day on the beach. The water was warm and the pool was clean. Overall, we had a great vacation and enjoyed our time in this condo.

We liked the small number of condos in the building and we loved our balcony facing the ocean. Great communication from property management before annd during our trip. Our unit and the grounds were very clean and well-kept. A little worn from use (carpets and wall edges) but overall comfy and very quiet! The pool was wonderful and private as well. Even had beach chairs and umbrella for us stored in the unit. Holmes beach is quieter than others, which we appreciated, even during spring break. We’d reco a golf cart —very convenient for getting to all the great restaurants and shops. The condo is right in between Pine Ave shopping and Bradenton Beach but without the noise and people. Beds were super comfy as was the other furniture. Our unit also had some games to play and books to borrow. The sunset views from the balcony every night were incredible! 5-stars just for those!

The unit was nice, could use some furniture upgrades and the carpet is a little worn. We had issues with air conditioning. It wasn’t pleasant. They brought fans and sent an hvac guy who had to come back the next day. We spent two days dealing with AC issues.The building/unit is not handicapped accessible. There is no elevator. I feel like the listing was not forward regarding accessibility. My mother had issues with the stairs and I did not enjoy lugging all our belongings up and down said stairs. We did thoroughly enjoy the beach and pool.

We had an amazing week while staying in this condo. Perfect location right on the beach. Loved having the assigned parking spot and the washer and dryer in the unit was a big plus. Loved the pool for evening swims. Great location on the island!! We are already planning our next trip and will most likely stay here again. Literally the only non positive thing we could say was the stairs are less then great to get to the upstairs unit, but totally worth it!!!!! The property management was also super helpful! I texted with an issue about the wifi and they were there with in an hour to fix it. They also were quick to communicate in answering questions. ***not noted in the listing but you can NOT have an electric golf cart at this location. There is no outdoor plug in location. Get a gas cart if you rent and stay here.

We have been coming to Anna Maria Island for years. It is such a hidden paradise. White sand beaches, great weather, amazing restaurants and no high rises. This is the first time we have stayed at Seaside Beach House 205 and we WILL BE BACK! Great location with unforgettable sunset views. The unit has recently be remodeled.
