Stephan’s place is great! Super close to the beach and some cute restaurants. Went for a girls trip and would definitely stay again. Stephan was super responsive and accommodating. I might consider renting a golf cart next time, especially if traveling as a family, as the free trolly that can take you up and down the island wasn’t super on time but if you happened to catch it, it was a great option!! Thanks for a great time! We will all definitely be back!

As advertised. This was a perfect location for my family and I. Four of us total. Just down a small road from the beach. Very very walkable. Quiet area but just a short drive to a more touristy busy area if you wan that. Place was very clean. Minimal, but not in a bad way. Just tidy. Two bedrooms and two baths. Had a couple of small issues but they were addressed quickly and friendly.

Hi Jamie, Thank you for your review it was also nice meeting you,,, I apologize for the 1 of the 2 crowded pools apparently those guests invited other friends to join them at the pool & were a bit loud when I showed up,,, I asked them to be considerate of other guests & im in the process adding that to pool signage & thank you for the need for outdoor showers I'm adding two poolside showers next week.

This place was absolutely perfect for a beach getaway! The property manager was very responsive and welcoming. The apartment was stocked with everything we could need. The walk to the beach was easy and less than 5 minutes. We also enjoyed having access to the pool. We are already planning our next trip to stay here!

Great location!

Our stay was great. We could not ask for a better location for the price. We were in the middle of Ana Maria Island. The condo was immaculate and the pool was an added plus. Stephan was super responsive if we needed anything. The trolley is an easy way to around the island, but if you want to come and go as you please, rent a golf cart. We walked to the beach every day. It was pretty awesome. The only comment I can make is we had to wash towels and buy toilet paper. If you want to cook, you have to buy everything, from foil to spices, not a big deal, the Publix is a trolley ride away.
Sunset from the beach directly across the street (2 blocks down).
Nightly walk on the beach.
Bridge Street, must visit!
Sunset cruise (must do)!

Stayed here last weekend. Amazing accommodations. Would definitely stay here again! Clean, modern and just wonderful. Host provides a beach cart to carry your belongings to the beach and also provides two beach chairs. However, our “neighbor” in the adjoining unit took our provided beach chairs for themselves. This is not the host’s fault. Just inconsiderate “neighbors”. We didn’t go to the beach during our stay so it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe put the provided chairs inside your room so inconsiderate neighbors can’t take them for themselves if they have a large family and need more than their two complimentary two chairs. There was a minor “hiccup” with our room access and code. Not a big deal at all. Reached out to our host Stephan and he arranged for my husband and I to have free drinks and appetizers at a very nice restaurant for us. So nice of him! We ended up having to leave a day earlier than expected and Stephan suggested next time we go we could get a free night because of have to leave a day early!! How wonderful of him!! Overall a great stay, nice clean place, wonderful host. Wonderful location! Would stay again! And I have to mention the AC and beds and sheets!!! AMAZING! The beds and sheets are awesome! Slept like a baby! The air conditioning is on point!!! Walking into the room the AC felt like a Disney Hotel! We kept the temp at 72 and it was colder than normal AC 72, I can’t explain it. It was so yummy comfortable. Thank You

Thank you susan for your kind review, i've had several beach chairs disappear lately. I think people on checkout date leave the chairs in their cars when they go home. I've purchased 8 new chairs. There should always be at least 4 beach shares per unit, flush, miscellaneous, boogie, boards and other accessories. We've also put brand new umbrellas in the units to be left by our new guests. In the future, Thanks again. I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and please apologize for any minor hiccups we experience along the way. Stephan

House is cute and well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Stephen was very accommodating. We arrived early and he allowed us to store our bags in the house while it was being cleaned. He gave us recommendations for where to eat. He was very fast about communicating with us. My daughter needed a shower chair due to a disability and he had one for us. Allowed us to store our bags after check out. Great location - 2 blocks from the beach. Definitely recommend!

The unit worked extremely well for our family of 5.
