Hi, Kevin, thank you for the lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the incredible location at The Big Yellow House with Anna Maria Vacations. Those views and sunsets never get old, and being close to everything makes it even better. We’d love to welcome you back for another island stay anytime!!
Views were unbelievable. Perfect seat for sunset every night. Pool and tub were bonuses we took advantage of. The kitchen is small and cookware limited. If you don’t plan on cooking a lot then not a problem. Easily walkable to food, bars, and restaurants.

We loved staying in the Big Yellow House! The location absolutely could not be beat. The house had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Can't wait to come back!
House was amazing, the location is perfect! There were a few minor things like the door to the pool from the house didn’t work, headboard to the master bed wasn’t attached, but overall it was awesome. When a random shower would come through, the convenience of a covered pool and hot tub was fantastic. Plenty of space for the 11 of us. We would absolutely come back again!

2023 family vacation
Great location, a lot of wonderful amenities, but lacking a bit in cleanliness ( sheets were really gross in the master bedroom upstairs) ..and a few broken items, but by no means enough to ruin our vacation...
The Big Yellow House had amazing views of the Gulf. The sunsets were incredible from the decks or beach. The pool was a bonus. Located near the northern tip of Anna Maria, we walked to the northern point every morning! We found some great shells and intact sand dollars on our walks. The house is also located on Pine Street, the main street of commerce on Anna Maria, so we could walk to many shops and restaurants. On the downside, the house needed a bit of a "spring cleaning" from being a rental machine, but the views and overall stay made up for that and the house still deserves 5 stars. Would definitely book this house again!

Great location on beach and near main part of town. Front deck and covered pool area were great and used often. Previous user didn't do good job cleaning the glasses, silverware, etc. It was easier to rewash then call the agent. House is cozy but dated. Would have happily paid more if it was updated.
I’m glad I got this property at the discounted rate. Although the view is perfect, it’s not worth the full price they ask. The place needs some sprucing up. The walls are dirty and the paint is chipping, the throw rugs are dirty, some bathrooms have mold and the dishes in the cabinet still had food on them. I took into consideration that it’s literally on a beach so it’s hard to stay clean but with some sprucing up it would be perfect.
It’s definitely spacious and worth the view. The check in checkout was convenient. Overall I would stay again but not at the full asking price.
2nd year renting this property. You can't beat the location, steps to the beach. House is dated, but we didn't spend much time in the house. Close to restaurants & stores. No car needed. Looking to book again next year.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Kate. We are glad you were able to enjoy the house and location. You were a wonderful guest, and we look forward to hosting you again!
This house is great! Tons of room to spread out and a nice pool. Right on the beach. There are tons of stairs everywhere so be advised on that. Excellent vacation!
We rent this property (104 Pine Avenue, Anna Maria, Florida) through VRBO on June 12th until June 16th. When we arrived at this property the house wasn't clean. We found tomato inside de microwave, mold over the showers and many dirty spaces. When we woke up next morning (today June 13th) at 6:00 am we discovered the master bedroom was infected by termites. There were termites running all over the king bed, all over our bodies and inside the bathroom. We contact Anna Maria Vacation rentals by phone and after 3 hours they offer us one property which was not on the beach and it looks very old, too.
We had to left the property and we lost our family holiday.

Enrique, please allow us to apologize for the experience you had during your stay, as we understand fully how frustrating this was for you. Upon reviewing your account, we see our team was able to offer you compensation for the issues during your visit. We hope you will return and stay with us again, giving us another opportunity to improve your experience.
The location of this house is ideal. The location right on the beach was very convenient. There were 14 of us and we all fit comfortably. Only problem was the house could have had more basic supplies like salt and pepper and oil and vinegar. Plus the deck really needs replacement and a sun awning. The kids loved the little pool as it was a shady place to relax. Loved the house!

Highlights of the property: location & the beautiful views. Steps to the Gulf.
Negative: The place needs a major cleaning. Two inches of dust on all blinds & ceiling fans. The biggest complaint I would share are the roaches crawling on the kitchen walls and floors. The front door was broken, couldn't lock when we went out, two sliding doors were broken. The kitchen refrigerator needs to be replaced. Did not keep our food cold. Garbage disposal didn't work and had a bad odor. Light bulbs missing from sockets. I contacted the rental company, that I must was was very attentive, but who wants all kinds of working men tramping around fixing everything while we are trying to enjoy ourselves. We were given a $100.00 gift card for Publix, but again after spending the money we did on this property I would think it would have been in better condition. Clothes from previous guests were still in bedroom drawers and items were found under all the dusty furniture. Mold is growing in all the showers. I went out and bought a bottke of bleach cleaner before using the showers.

Best Location you could ask for
This house is a bit dated and could use some upgrades but the location can't be beat. You can sit in the living room and see the beach and your family there as well. A few issues we had with the house: The upstairs living area can only be accessed by a spiral staircase; not ideal for small children. The downstairs refrigerator needs to be replaced. After placing a service call we figured out that you have to firmly make sure the doors shut every time you use it to keep it cold and it never really gets to temp. Also all 3 of the drawers were broken in some fashion.
The back deck is great but has some boards that need replacing as they are a trip hazard - also the umbrella for the table was bent in the middle and unusable.
There were some loose bricks laying around the pool area which again, for adults is not that big of a deal, but with smaller children it is a hazard - there was a hole in the corner where some of the bricks were.
We arrived at 4pm as instructed but the cleaning crew was still there cleaning. They allowed us to enter anyway but I could tell that the cleaning was a bit rushed.
The WIFI works but goes out REGULARLY. At least twice per day we had to unplug and reset the router.
The TVs are also dated - would recommend providing instructions for how to use them - the upstairs TV had like 7 remotes. Also some of those remotes were missing the backs, buttons weren't working, and some were even missing batteries. We had lots of rainy days so unfortunately we were stuck inside a bit. :)
Every single bathroom had at least one light blown out - easy replacement.
Lastly, and my biggest concern, was the main door to the house. It would not lock and if not blocked, it would blow open on its own. Multiple times we came back to the house to find the door wide open so we had to stage a case of water out in front of the door in order to make sure the small children didn't go outside of the home.
Overall we had a GREAT trip - loved the layout that very well worked for 2 families traveling together, but just not ideal for small children. The location honestly could not be beat and i would definitely rent this house again, but think that with the amount it cost, some of these small improvements should be made for future guests. I did call about the door issue and was told someone would come out but nobody ever did. I tried to call again multiple times but there was poor cell service so I eventually gave up. :)

Tabitha, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay at The Big Yellow House. It is an older Florida-style cottage on a beautiful stretch of beach. We can't' change the layout of the home and the spiral staircase is clearly shown in the pictures on our listing for the home. I'm sorry that this was an issue. We would have been happy to have arranged rental of a baby gate to keep the younger children off the stairs. I'm sorry that the cleaners were there past their scheduled time ~ keeping employees is a challenge for everyone right now, including our cleaning companies. I know that those who are working are doing their best to get the vacation homes ready on time for our guests' arrivals. Internet and cellular service on the end of a barrier island can be challenging ~ especially during storms. I'm sorry that you had to reset the routers on occasion. We did send two technicians over and the fridge was cooling to 37 degrees, so it was working as intended. Sometimes when there are large groups of people in and out of the fridge and it is stocked with more items than in a typical fridge, it can take a bit for it to cool down. I am not sure what happened with the front door, but that will be checked out by our maintenance team to make sure that the issue is corrected. The deck was replaced just last year, but we will also have our technicians go around and make sure that the boards and nails are level and not a tripping hazard. Again, thank you for letting us know about your stay. I hope that the time with your family on our beautiful beaches made up for some of the inconveniences mentioned.
Overall this was a wonderful property. The closeness to beach/water, restaurants, things to do was great. However, there were several things that should be addressed for a property of this pricing; The locks were hard to use (especially the front door, they did send someone out, but it didnt solve the issue), the wood deck is in bad shape (two people tripped on boards, no injury) and I woke up to flying ants in my bed & on me, fortunately there was another bedroom for us to use. They were suppose to send someone out to take care of this issue, Im not sure if they did or not, NO CALL. Again, for the price... The sunset view from the upper deck is spectacular : )

Christopher, thank you for the five-star review of The Big Yellow House. We agree that it is a wonderful property and the beach-front location can't be beat! I'm sorry that you had some issues at the home and appreciate you letting us know about it in the review. I know we came out and one of our Service Technicians disassembled the lock and thought that it was working properly. The decking was just replaced a year or so ago, but we will be sure to have someone go take a look to make sure that there are no loose boards or protruding nails. Unfortunately, we are having a very active termite season here in Florida and swarming has been occurring more than usual. The insects are drawn to light sources as they fly around looking for a new place to colonize, so the only treatment is to have a professional service come out to treat the home ~ and the companies we have called are booked for weeks in advance. If you would like to discuss your experience with us further, I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you. We hope that we will be able to welcome you back to Anna Maria Island in the future.
perfect location for the beach and sunset and access to all that AMI has to offer. also great for kids!!! easy access to beach and pool.
