Absolutely Perfect

Surf Club was spotlessly clean, very well appointed, and the private spool was delightful! Just steps from the beach, we enjoyed the beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon included with the rental. We will definitely be back next year!

Wonderful Family Vacation Home

Absolutely loved Surf Camp and when we go back to Anna Maria Island, we hope to stay there again. The pool was perfect and being so close to the beach was amazing. The amenities were top notch! The only thing we wished they had is some throw blankets for the living room. We loved that the beach house came with a wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, speaker and beach towels. We rented a gem car and a cabana for the week which they drop off at your door. Absolutely perfect!

Love AMI

We had a blast on our vacation and enjoyed every second of it. Liked the property and the location was superb, close to the beach which we loved. We had everything in the house what we needed and kids loved the pool. We can’t wait to come back!!!! :)

Fantastic cottage near beach

Surf Camp was spotlessly clean, well maintained & well equipped for a self-catering holiday. Located two minutes walk from the beach, with use of beach towels, sun umbrella, cool box, beach chairs & cart to easily transport everything. Great to have use of a washing machine & tumble dryer too. We hired bikes through Lizzie Lu’s, which were at the property when we arrived. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island and definitely won’t be our last. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Surf Camp again, as it was perfect for our family of three.

See you next year!

Spent spring break 2022 at Surf Camp. This was our 11th year on AMI. We have stayed in multiple houses over the years and have to say this one is at the top of the list. Lizzy Lu's staff was on top of everything. The home was spotless. I couldn't get over their attention to details. Not only was the home well appointed we were provided with a welcome gift bag with the little annoying things you hate to have to buy when you get there such as dish and hand soap, laundry detergent and drier sheets etc. It was so thoughtful! I also was impressed with the quality of the linens and cookware. The location of this home was ideal for where we like to be on the island and just a short walk to the beach. Lizzy also provided functional, but cute beach chairs and a cooler as well as wagon to haul it all. I've never had the privilege of a wagon before - it was awesome! My one tiny complaint was the pillow topper on the master bedroom king bed. Not for me. My husband said it didn't bother him - guess I'm like the princess and the pea... Overall EXCELLENT rental property! Already booked for next year and recommended to friends!!! See you next year AMI!

Perfect location

Loved our trip to Anna Marie surf camp is a nice little duplex. The duplex is small with just one inside shower. Location is perfect just a short walk to the beach. Duplex has everything thing you need and more to make it the perfect beach trip. We would stay here again.

All the fun at Surf Camp!

My husband and I have just returned from a week at Surf Camp in celebration of our wedding anniversary. This property was everything we needed and more! Ben and Keren's attention to detail in this property (and I imagine all of their properties) is extraordinary! The beach is just around the corner from the house, a very short/easy walk. The location of the house in relevance to places to eat and things to do is great as well. The house is equipped with everything we needed and more - beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, umbrellas, plentiful bath linens, kitchen gadgets for every need, a portable blue tooth speaker and so much more. The king sized bed was very comfortable also! I loved using the smart phone app, too! The app was equipped with places to eat, things to do, and lots of vital information that I referred to all week. We could not have dreamed up a better vacation home. Thank you to Ben and Keren, and the rest of the Lizzie Lu's staff for making this one of our best vacations yet. We are already looking forward to next year!

Really clean, nicely decorated, steps from the beach and trolly, very comfortable. Just perfect!

Surf Camp is a great place to stay. It is immediately obvious, the owners take great pride in keeping the property well kept. We had everything we could possible need including beach chairs and towels. It is decorated to give you a real beach cottage feel the minute you walk it. We found it comfortable and relaxing and the beach is only steps away. The heated pool and outdoor shower were really nice too. And let's not forget Surf Camp is on the beautiful Anna Maria Island.

See You Again Soon

I wanted to write a review about our experience with Lizzie Lu. When we arrived, the house was ready for us. It was spotless and looked EXACTLY as represented in the pictures. A couple hours later, we were greeted by Ben, making sure everything was as expected. One thing I did note is that Lizzie Lu takes great pride in keeping up with their properties. Gardeners, pool attendants, and painters were busy working on neighboring properties. During our stay, the pool cleaner and gardener came, but I can say that they were not intrusive in any way. The location was amazing. Turn left out of the front door, immediately turn left at the corner, and walk about four houses down the street to the beautiful beach. We took full advantage of the beach cart to haul chairs, umbrella, and a cooler to the beach every day. After returning from the beach, the pool was the perfect way to wrap up the afternoon. My three adult children and I had a wonderful visit at the Surf Camp property, and we plan to definitely return in the future. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Would not hesitate to rent again.

This was our second year staying at a Lizzie Lu's Island Retreat managed property and I can't say enough positive things about it. Their properties feel freshly updated, are well maintained/ provisioned , are close to the beach, family friendly, and all at a reasonable price. Surf Camp is a great property and excellent for a family of four. My wife and I plus our two kids (7 and 2) cooked almost all of our meals in the well appointed kitchen. Most days we headed to the beach in the morning and spent the afternoons cooling off in the small pool. The inclusion of an outdoor shower, washer/dryer, and all the beach gear you might need make this one a winner.
