WiFi was sketchy, very hit or miss if it worked. Location was excellent! Would have loved a full length mirror or 2 outside of bathrooms. We would definitely come back.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Antigua Bay by Anna Maria Vacations, Jamie! The location really is hard to beat! Thank you for the helpful feedback as well. We’re sorry the WiFi was a bit inconsistent during your stay and will have our team take a closer look. We also love the idea of adding a full-length mirror — that’s a great suggestion and we’ll be sure to pass it along It means a lot to hear you’d come back, and we’d love to host you again for another island getaway!
Excellent location with a short walk to the beach and multiple restaurants and amazing cinnamon rolls at cafe next door. Home and outdoor areas were very clean and comfortable with plenty of space for 8 adults and two infants. Nice appliances, cookware and plenty of silverware and plates in kitchen. Pool and spa were perfect temps and enjoyed all the games around the pool and grilling out one evening. Lots of various deck space for hanging out. Beach chairs, umbrella and wagon provided were a plus. Communication from host was very proactive with prompt replies to any questions. Very enjoyable stay!

We’re so happy you had such an enjoyable stay at Antigua Bay, Jonette! Being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, and those famous cinnamon rolls nearby makes mornings on the island pretty special. It’s great to hear the home had plenty of space for your whole group and that you enjoyed the pool, spa, and outdoor hangout spots. Sounds like a perfect mix of beach time, grilling, and relaxing together. We’re also glad the beach gear and our Anna Maria Vacations team’s communication helped make everything easy. Thanks for staying with us and we’d love to welcome your group back for another fun island getaway!

It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed the pool and hot tub, as well as the convenient location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach.

We had 11 people in our party and the house was perfect in size and location. The pool and outside area were perfect after long days at the beach. The kitchen was also perfect as it had all of the plates and silverware that we needed. It is a short walk to the beach and shops so the location is ideal. The check in and communication with the rental agency was perfect. We will be back -

We're glad you found the beds comfortable and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and grill. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back again for another stay with your family!
This is a very nice, newer construction property in a FANTASIC location steps away from the beach, many restaurants/bars and shops. We really enjoyed the multiple decks/views of sunrise and sunset. The interior is very spacious and clean. There were a couple issues with the exterior (some broken patio furniture, 'gifts' from a previous furry visitor, and pool/spa lights not working) but nothing that couldn't be dealt with or ruin our enjoyment of the property. Would definitely consider renting this location again!

Thank you,

My family and I were a big group and this house was perfect for us. Lots of space for a group and our favorite things were the pool and rooftop. House was clean, property manager was great at communication, and you can't beat the location of this house. 5 minute walk to the beach and also a close walk to the pier, and a lot of restaurants / cafes right in walking distance. 10/10 would recommend this house if you're visiting Anna Maria.
Nice place, was our fifth trip to AMI but not our favorite rental. Solid 4 star.
Pros:
-perfect location
-plenty of space
-stocked with more cups/plates than you could need
-warm pool, lots of beach towels and brand new beach chairs
Minor cons: hallway toilet didn’t flush when we arrived so maintenance came to fix it quickly. One of the bedroom fans didn’t work. A ton of scuff marks all over the walls in bedrooms/living room.
Like most rentals, you’re responsible for purchasing toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags etc. Vacuum in the closet but it looks decades old and didn’t work too well.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for making this your fifth trip to AMI! We’re glad you enjoyed the perfect location, spacious layout, and all the extra touches like the warm pool, beach towels, and brand-new beach chairs. It’s great to hear our maintenance team was able to address the toilet issue promptly.
We appreciate your honest feedback on areas that could use some attention, like the scuff marks and the fan. We’ll make sure to assess those and the vacuum to ensure everything meets our guests’ expectations. We do follow the standard rental practice of providing a starter set of supplies, but I understand it’s always helpful to know that in advance.
We hope to have the chance to host you again and provide an even better experience on your next visit to AMI!
We just left Friday, and we are missing this house so much. It was such an amazing stay and we are already looking to book another one!

The good ,the bad,the overall
GOOD:
-Excellent location and good amount of beds. Rooftop deck has an amazing view. Pool was 6ft deep and water was maintained well. Grill was in good shape.
Multiple restaurants within a block made it easy to sample local cuisine.
BAD:
-Pool light didnt work and there was a broken light fixture left on top of the washer.
-Light was out in the Water Closet of the master bath. We emailed non emergency contact the first night and never heard anything from them. Was not very fun using the toilet in the dark. You are basically threatened with a fine if they deem a request "not an emergency"
-Never received the entry code and had to request it the night before we arrived
-Dropped a few things and looking under the beds uncovered poorly cleaned floors.
OVERALL-
For the price this rental is, I think it's fair to expect the little things to be taken care of. That along with the other things mentioned make me say that,while it was a nice home, I think I would pick a less "corporate run" house on Anna Maria Island next time to see if they are more attentive instead of just turning and burning guests.

Ryan, we are so happy that you enjoyed your time to "chill" while you were here on our island. We hope that you will come back to stay with us on your next island getaway!
We stayed at this property 2 years ago and had a fantastic stay which is why we booked it again. One of the highlights was the arcade system upstairs 2 years ago we played pacman and galaga frequently. My daughter ran upstairs to access the system and it was not working. The drains were extremely slow upstairs so showers and sink washing was done downstairs, there was thick mold around the plastic ring on the washer and soap dispenser. I put on gloves and scrubbers took me an hour of cleaning to make it semi usable. several of the knobs on the bathroom cabinets are loose and fall off. On the plus side, could not beat the location and easy walk to the beach, it is a beautiful home that appears to be poorly maintained compared to 2 years ago. My experience with management from our visit last year and 2 years ago was one of "We'll look into it and last year with an ant problem was told it would take 3 days to get anyone out so we handled ourselves; didn't think a game would be a priority so focused on other things. Overall we have been coming to AMI weekly for 10 years now and since there are many other choices of vacation sites would consider carefully.

Andrew, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay. I'm so sorry that you experienced the enumerated issues and wish that we had been made aware of them during your stay so that they could have been addressed. If you would like to discuss anything about your stay, please feel free to reach out to us directly.
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The location was absolutely perfect. Right next to Ginny and Jane’s cafe (the best cinnamon rolls) and just a very short walk to the beach! The house came equipped with everything you could need for the beach (towels, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and wagon). The house itself was very clean and spacious. The rooms did lack dressers, making it difficult to unpack for the week, however there is plenty of space in the closets to hang your clothes. We loved the pool and hot tub and had no issues with the water temperature! The house did come with bikes but most of them had flat tires. We would definitely recommend this home and hope to come back!

Kelli, thank you for the five-star review of Antigua Bay ~ that is always our goal! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time here on the island and the amenities of the home...If you would have let us know about the bikes, we would have been happy to have had the tires repaired/pumped up for your use. Please come stay with us again on your next visit to our lovely little island!
We loved staying here on Anna Maria. Perfect location. The only complaint we had and not a big deal was the pool was not really warm enough to swim in much. But maybe the heater couldn't keep up with the cooler temps we had.

Thank you for the 5 star review, John! We are happy that you loved staying on Anna Maria at Antigua Bay! Pool heaters do shut off around 8 pm because of the noise ordinance here on the island. So when they turn back on in the morning, they heat up 2 degrees every hour. You are accurate, its harder for the pool to heat up when we have cool days, unfortunately. We are glad that regardless of this you were able to have a nice vacation on AMI. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Thank you for the 5 star review, Amy! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Antigua Bay! We look forward to welcoming you back to AMI in the future!
This house was at a great location. Loved the cart to pull chairs and umbrellas to the beach. Family friendly house with an updated feel and room to spread out. Beds were comfortable. So many decks! So close to beach and restaurants. Was initially concerned re being next to one but never any noise or problem. Loved outdoor area. Only complaints are minor- door lock with code was not working at check in which created some stress. Also, pots and pans were all small so made cooking for large group a bit of a hassle. Plenty of everything else- especially cups and beach towels! I overlooked that you have to give 10 days notice to have hot tub heated, but temp was still swimmable.

Wrapping up a great week at Antigua Bay. We had a full house of 12 but never felt crowded. Beautiful house with a great layout. The outdoor area on the ground level is perfect for gathering in the evening and the pool table got plenty of use. Walking out to the street turn left for a very short walk to the beach and beautiful sunsets or turn right for a short walk to bay to watch the sunrise. Was concerned about the restaurant next door but you don’t even notice its there. They close at 4 and have great coffee and sticky buns. This place is perfect.

We have been vacationing here for years. Now that our family has grown, we needed a larger home to accommodate everyone. We had the best time at this house! It was spacious and perfect for our kids, grandparents, and siblings. We couldn’t have asked for more! The walk to the beach was just a block away, seconds away from trolley stop, close to shops and restaurants, and the view was great! We spent so much time down by the pool! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us! Can’t wait to go back!

Not easy to figure out how the pool works , photos make it seem that all bathrooms are connected to rooms and that all rooms have balconies this is not true . Lights not working . Hot tub is not a hot tub and when you call to see if it can be heated that is not an option and pool is not heated jets for the spa will not stay on . Had to change sheets in rooms bc they either won’t changed or the maid laid in them after cleaning bc before laying down they were full of sand . This is my 3rd home to rent on the island and as beautiful and as expensive as it is I’m not exactly pleased and doubt we will re rent this home .
