Such a beautiful place!!! Really close to Holmes Beach and the host was so quick to answer any and all questions. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure you bring a citronella candle and bug spray. My husband and I were ate up by mosquitoes the first night, but after a quick trip to the store, we were good to go. Definitely plan on coming back.

Having the beach so close and a beautiful place to come back to each day makes for a wonderful island getaway, Sara. We're glad Sugar Beach by Anna Maria Vacations was such a hit and that our team could quickly assist with any questions during your stay. Thank you for sharing your experience regarding the mosquitoes. As with many tropical coastal destinations, they can be more active at certain times of the year, especially in the evenings. We're happy to hear a quick stop at the store had you back to enjoying your vacation. The fact that you're already planning a return visit means so much to us. We look forward to welcoming you back to the island soon!

This was a great stay. We loved the private pool and how clean, comfortable and spacious the house was. The walk to the beach was just a few blocks and didn’t have to cross the busy Gulf Dr. The location was just about middle of the island. We would 100% stay here again.

Not bad

Pool was not heated strongly, and the indoor water heater runs out very quickly.. however we were staying in Florida during a freak winter temperature drop so I imagine the stay is much better in typical Florida weather! Overall decent stay!

Christmas 2022

The property is beautiful and in a great location. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, so we were unable to enjoy the pool and patio areas. The road work and detours were not easy to navigate on our first night upon arrival but we learned the following day during daylight hours. The house itself was quite comfortable and we would definitely visit again when our schedules allow.

8/10 Good

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in

Could have been great, but

This home was very sufficient for our stay. It was well stocked, but…… this home needs a good cleaning. The ceramic floors were grimy….dirty feet from being on them . The carpet located in bedrooms are beyond needed to be replaced. Dirty and worn thin. The back yard was unkempt. The palms needed to be cleaned up… debris falling into pool daily. The grounds were littered with decaying debris…which had an bad order. The back yard is neglected. The place needs some TLC… basic cleaning. Location was good… but too much traffic due to lane closures for road work. Very frustrating.

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Anna Maria! The house was spacious, with plenty of room for our group, and the three bedroom layout worked perfectly. It was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed during our stay.The location was one of the best parts, just a short trip to the beach, restaurants, and local shops, making it easy to enjoy everything the island has to offer without spending much time driving.The pool was also fantastic and was the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable, well located place to stay in Anna Maria!

Nothing beats finding a home where everyone has room to relax after a day of island adventures, Tommy. We're glad Sugar Beach by Anna Maria Vacations was the perfect fit for your group. Having the beach, restaurants, and local shops just a short trip away makes it easy to enjoy the best of AMI, and we're happy the pool became the perfect place to unwind at the end of each day. It's great knowing the home was clean, comfortable, and well stocked for your stay. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back for another memorable island getaway!
