Location was fantastic!! Two blocks to beach entrance property was very clean, well maintained and we really enjoyed the stay. Excellent communication with host, we look forward to coming and staying again!
First time we stayed at a VRBO that was actually nicer than the description! The home was immaculately clean, kitchen was well stocked with new looking appliances, utensils, pots, pans and dishes. The beach chairs and toys were very nice, the pool was an absolute delight! What an amazing way to wrap up a day after enjoying the short walk or fun golf cart ride to the beach. Close to many nice shops and restaurants. We will return to this property! Excellent communication with the owners and absolutely zero problems or concerns.
The home was a wonderful place to stay on AMI. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the house felt like home away from home. The pool was an added bonus. We were able to walk everywhere. Ramona and Mark are excellent hosts. We will be repeat customers:)
I had a wonderful stay here. Place was nice and perfect location. Great communication with the owners. I would 100% book this house again and plan on it soon.
We loved this property! The house is spacious, nicely decorated, clean, with an awesome well stocked kitchen. A quiet street on the north half of AMI. We have stayed a number of places between AMI and Siesta Key, but this was our favorite. The back yard with the pool, grill, pergola, furniture, and privacy is terrific. Even on a couple cooler days it was very usable and the pool was kept warm to enjoy all the time.It is a very short walk to the beach, and all the chairs, umbrellas...are available. The large church parking lot on the side and back is a nice place to shoot some baskets or some other recreation.
The house was great for our family of four. Everything was very clean, the private pool was excellent, and the hosts were very responsive up to and through our visit.
Everything about this vacation home was great. Location was great, the home was clean, and the communication with the host was great. My children especially loved the pool. Would definitely come back to Anna Maria Island and book this home again!
Everything was exactly as we expected! Great location, very short walk to the beach. All the beach supplies you would need. Pool was amazing! House was so nice, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We couldn’t have been happier! We had groceries delivered from Walmart, but we also enjoyed eating local! Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!

Thank you for taking the time to review my home. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at my home and on the island.
This property exceeded our expectations! It was clean and has a kitchen that anyone would love. The proximity to the beach is amazing and sunsets are gorgeous. The heated pool was refreshing and a wonderful addition to our stay. We loved this property so much we have already booked our stay for next year. The communication with Ramona and Mark was excellent! Property is 20/10!
Absolutely best experience visiting a new island. Close to beach, quiet, clean and great amenities and communication. The pool felt great and we enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much!
The house is in a great location on AMI. Beach access is a short walk and the pool area was great. The house had everything we needed for a n enjoyable stay on Anna Maria.
Loved our stay! The beach was great and coming back to hang by the pool at night was also nice. Thank you for having us. Also, great spot to catch the trolley.

About the host
Hosted by Ramona Griffin
Growing up in New Jersey, I enjoyed spending time at the 'Jersey Shore' with my friends and family. I believe this is one reason why I wanted to own a home near the beach. I'm an avid quilter, which occupies the majority of my time as my children are now grown.
Why they chose this property
What drew me to Anna Maria is the slow pace of life, great beaches, friendly people and simple life it offers.
What makes this property unique
Some of the unique benefits we enjoy while at the property are: Short walk to the beach, walking the beach looking for sea shells, sunsets (and sunrise on the bay), eating at Waterfront, Sandbar, Rod & Real, City Pier, and riding a bike to explore the island.
