Cuddlefish is a great location. Easy walk to the beach and a short ride to town or the fishing piers. This house was very comfortable for 3 couples. Lots of space to get together but room for privacy also.

We had a great time. The beds are COMFORTABLE. The showers are awesome with great water pressure. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only wish the windows had screens so we could let fresh air in and turn off the AC.

Great overall experience! Easy booking, check in and check out. Great house in excellent location. The TV outside by the pool was not working, sent an email and they were at the property within 15 minutes to fix the issue. We had a wonderful vacation at this property, we will be back and highly recommend others check it out. Thank for everything!!

Hi Gregg,

Very much appreciated,

We rented this location for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. Check in was simple and easy, the island was beautiful, the home was beautiful. The home was clean, water pressure was great, we had no issues at all. We are now considering a family trip with the kids to this location. It was a great experience.
House was nice and as pictured except the master bedroom has been updated. Some annoying things were the extremely limited paper supplies (no kleenex, one roll of tp per bathroom, 2 garbage bags). Another annoyance was not being able to set the AC lower than 74. The master BR is hot!

Hi Brian-
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
Sorry you were annoyed by the lack of supplies. In the confirmation you received, this was explained.
The AC units have to work hard to keep up with the heat in Florida. When they are set too low, they freeze up and not work at all.
We hope you enjoyed Anna Maria Island.

Always check if there’s major construction going on next door before renting
There was ongoing construction of an in ground pool within in 10feet of the rental’s pool and patio. The noice and the smell was unbearable. We couldn’t use the pool or sit outside.

Hi John,
We apologize for the issues you faced during your stay at Cuddlefish Cove. Construction is plentiful on the island right. While we try our best to keep up with the construction happening near our properties, it can be difficult. Unfortunately, there is no requirement to notify neighbors of upcoming construction projects and due to this we were not aware of the pool construction prior to your arrival.
Thank you,
Sato Rental Team
We enjoyed the pool and sitting area. Great breeze every night. Loved the 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. Would have been nice to have a sheet that gave us closest beach entrance /closest trolley stops north bound and south bound and closest pharmacy and closest hospital. Not just phone number. When you have little ones and cell phone didnt always work nice to have that option in the house. We enjoyed our time wasnt far from beach once we figured it out. Pool was not as big as pictures showed but decent size for 2 young kids. Loved the area by the pool to chill . Was in shade nice breeze.

Hi Brenda, thank you for the great feedback. We are glad you all enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again. Thanks, Sato Real Estate.
The house is great. It has lots of room and it also has a rooftop deck. That is a great addition to the rest of the house. The sun was limited on the pool due to trees all around but the pool was also great. Kitchen lacked good pots and pans if you decide to cook but we ordered out most of the time. Plenty of room to sit in the kitchen and outside near the pool. It is close to the free bus that runs up and down the island. Location is quiet and Pine Street is walkable if you want to get some good pastry near the Sandbar and a good walk in the AM. Beach is approximately 10 minute walk. Property is handled through a Realtor who is very attentive and responsive to questions and needs.

Hey Michael, thank you for the positive feedback. Thank you for letting us know about the pots and pans, we will pass that onto the owners. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate you choosing Sato Real Estate and we hope to host you again.
We had a great experience at this property. Quiet location, 5 minute walk to beach. Some new furniture has been added, living room now has a sectional sofa. Very comfortable beds, had everything we needed, including beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrellas, and a cart to wheel to beach. Directions say to keep the air conditioning temperature at 74°, which we did, so our only request would be to add a couple of additional floor fans to help with cooling. Highly recommend Cuddlefish Cove!

Delightful week on Anna Maria Island
Very much enjoyed our stay at Cuddlefish Cove. The neighborhood was quiet, The private pool was a wonderful treat. Being close enough to the beach to enjoy sunset was a real treat. There was plenty of seating in the open concept living area. We treated ourselves - took advantage of the number of restaurants in the area - no cooking. I cannot comment on the how well stocked the kitchen was. The downside was the inadequate A/C in the top floor master bedroom, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The addition of a small A/C wall unit would be a good idea.

Lovely property.
This property has a great location close to the beach. It was spotlessly clean and is nicely maintained. The lay out was great for our family and the furniture and décor are tasteful and beachy. The people at the property management company (Sato) were very pleasant and helpful. My only issue with this property is that there were instructions not to set the air conditioning below 72 degrees. This meant that the house was never really cool enough for our family.

We had a great vacation here
A beautiful house and a good location with respect to the beach, about 10 minutes walk away. Car required.
All questions we had was sorted quikly.
The reason for not giving 5 stars is that we prefer king size beds, a few things were broken, but it was of minor importance as we had a wonderful stay.
Recommend this house.

March Break 2012 Family Vacation
We visited CuddleFish Cove from the referral of another family. We visited Florida last March break and spend a few hectic days at Disney before driving to Anna Maria Island. The house exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful, clean and spacious and if anything looks better then the pictures. There is 2 large spacious bedrooms on the main floor. One has a queen bed with the most amazing shower ( multiple heads)- the other bedroom has twin beds and a large enjoining bathroom. Upstairs there is a master suite with another large bathroom with a large shower. All bedrooms have TV's. The main floor is very spacious and was perfect for our family with 2 small kids age 6 and 8. The kitchen is bright and has everything you need, including laundry. Most days we had breakfast and lunch in and ate dinner out. There is a large screen tv and a library with movies ( you can also rent on the island) as well as wifi access. The pool is very nice and they have loungers around the deck area. Many afternons after spending the morning at the beach I would lay on a lounger while the kids swam.. perect way to end a day.
The beach is 5-7 min walk away, very accessible and beyond beautiful. The beaches have white sand and plenty of room for the kids to run and play. The island itself is beautiful, quite and quaint. We would venture out to Genny and Janies for breakfast which I highly recommend! For dinner we ate a couple of time at the Sand Bar. We had a table basically on the beach and could see the sunset- it was awesome- true florida!!! We had a fantastic time and would definately rent this same property again.

Girls Weekend Away
We absolutely enjoyed our Girls Week Away at Cuddlefish Cove. The house is bright and modernly equipped with an beautiful pool to splash around in. The 3 bedrooms accomodated all 5 of us girls perfectly. We were only minutes away from the beautiful almost virgin beaches on either side of the island. We especially enjoyed the local restaurants where we went for brunch and dined at a different one almost every night. The sunsets were gorgeous! I have recommended Cuddlefish Cove to all my friends, and we are definately coming back.

The Cuddlefish Experience
What a beautiful home and a great place to visit. I was there for a few days with the girls,no husbands and no children. It was just what we all needed, We ate at some great places along the beach, shopped at the outlet mall in Ellenton (a few times!!!), walked along the beach and swam in the ocean. The weather was perfect. Its location is great if you arrive via air into Tampa - very easy to get to. Cuddlefish Cove has all you would need for a great get a way for a family or just chillin with friends - enough privacy for everyone.
It truly could not have been more idyllic. Would definately go there again.
