The property is beautiful. So close to the beach and the gulf. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony and watch the storms out over the water. The amenities were great, it was convenient to have a washer/dryer in the unit. The staff was so helpful even before check in. We had to have medical supplies delivered before we arrived, they were very easy to get in touch with. Once we arrived, it was a matter of minutes before they brought the supplies to us.

The property was lovely, well stocked, and perfectly located. We were unable to use the dryer during the week and got stuck in the elevator upon arrival, so those were minor inconveniences.

This building location was unbeatable! It is right on the beach and next to manatee public beach with food and gift shop. Very convenient! The building is from the 60’s, but the finishes are updated. Had plenty of electrical outlets, but I would have liked some USB ports available. I wish they would provide more beach and bath towels so we didn’t have to wash everything each day. They had 4 towels because it sleeps 4. They did provide some shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but it wasn’t good quality so bring your own. Lack of storage in bath. Several light bulbs out. Turn-over team needs to look closer at these details.

Beachside Getaway

Spacious unit steps away from nice clean beach. Nice view from big balcony to enjoy coffee or happy hour. Nice pool and covered parking area. Walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, bars and surf shops. Free island shuttle stop next door at public beach. Nice safe neighborhood. Unit nice but showing some signs of wear. Also close to Publix grocery store and pharmacies. Included beach chairs and umbrella too! Would stay here again.

The condo was very clean. Kitchen was good. Bed was comfortable. The toilet in the hallway was extremely short, maybe for kids. No extra washcloths or towels. Has a washer and dryer. Easy access to the beach. Master shower is very old. TVs are very small. The condo has an elevator. Great communication with property management.

Needs a little updating

Main TV is 21 inches. Way too small. TVs in bedrooms from Stoneage. Main bedroom mattress could be firmer. TV cable service is dismal.

Anna Maria Stay

The condo was very clean and the furniture was very comfortable, including the beds. The kitchen had been entirely updated and the appliances were nice. Every possible kitchen item was provided, even a blender and electric tea kettle. There are zero food provisions, though. No olive oil, condiments, or aluminum foil. We even had buy salt and pepper. The bathroom showers could use updating, but were very clean. The pictures of the condo were accurate, and the view was better than I expected from the photos. The one complaint is that all the windows are screwed shut. The only thing besides the front door that we could open was the sliding patio door, which didn’t have a lock. The pool was wonderfully heated, which is good because it’s in the shade from the afternoon on. The property management company was very friendly and helpful. Check in was very easy, as was checkout, and they communicated frequently via text. This felt attentive without being bothersome. There is a noise ordinance, so even though the property is right next to a public beach with a bar close- everything was quiet by 10 pm. Overall, a very relaxing stay and we would definitely consider staying there again.

Unsafe place and Management was difficult

The unit is beside public beach separated by mangroves. One night a man was in the mangrove. He fell and stumbled out of the mangroves into the parking lot by the unit saying he was tracking his pot in the mangroves. There was traffic noise and bar noise on the deck and the complex was having the the walkway and stairs sandblasted with silicosis dust flying. After several days of my calling, management about the noise, it deducted a whopping $103 adjustment to bill for not being able to use pool all week due to the dust and noise. I ate several meals in bedroom to avoid the noise. Management offered to move us toward the end of the trip and my husband who has cancer was reluctant to try to move everything for a couple of nights. Kitchen is super small with really low ceilings. The sunset view from deck is good and the beds were comfy. The unit is dated but did have all needed appliances although some of the cutlery was greasy, floors were not super clean and kitchen and refrigerator smelled of bacon and fish. I bought baking soda for fridge. It was our worst VRBO experience.

Winter break

The condo was very nice but it was a pain sitting on the balcony in the am listening to the landscapers blowing leaves every morning.Also we couldn't use the pool due to the noise of generators going all day while workers were doing flooring.management failed to tell us that one. We loved Anna Maria island especially Coquina beach and the dolphins. The areas around the piers are nice too for shopping,dining. Bayfront park was nice and quiet too. Overall the inside of the condo was great and touring the area too.

My wife, 5 year old son and I had a nice relaxing week at this property. Very short walk to the beach. The beds and pillows were comfortable and clean. We really loved the balcony and being able to see and hear the ocean from there. It was super convenient to have a dishwasher and also a washer and dryer in the condo. Within walking distance to Skinny's and Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe for food and drinks.

Great location

For us, this was a great location. Next to manatee beach so we woke up two minutes before Easter Mass on the beach and made it:). Well maintained and clean. People there were very friendly as well. The only downfall was the early 6:30 wake up from the leaf blowers in the public parking lot next door.
