Wonderful property for anyone to rent!
We had such a great time with our family at this property. It was 2 blocks from the beach and walking distance from restaurants and lots of fun things to do. The house itself was perfect! The showers had the best pressure that I've ever experienced and the heated pool was perfect! We loved our time at this home and think it would be a wonderful property for anyone to rent! Thank you so much for letting us stay

Everything was perfect
From the amazing private heated pool to the fully stocked house and kitchen everything was perfect. Easy walk to beautiful beach and great restaurant's and stores that were walkable. It was our first time on Anna Maria Island and it will not be our last.
Perfect stay! The host even left a handwritten card and gift card for my daughter's 13th birthday. Easy check in, all the amenities you need, and an easy 2 block walk to the beach access point. We loved riding the bikes to go shopping and that they had beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon to make our beach day comfortable. Highly recommend!

We just spent 5 wonderful nights at the Fern Cottage. The house was beautiful and close to the beach. The amenities and cleanliness of this rental was amazing. We will definitely return.
This was a great location to spend a week with family. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Our grands loved the pool. Short walk to the beach. Would stay here again!

Thank you for your kind review. Pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Come back again anytime.
It was a very nice property, with an awesome location. Only complaint I could have was the mattresses were firm.

Thank you for your review. Mattresses are so difficult, we replace them regularly. Some people say they are too soft and others too hard. We took advice from the mattress company, for the recent purchases, so sorry they were a bit firm for your liking.
This was the perfect house and location for our family! We have two little kids and they loved the pool and the walk to the beach! Will stay here again! Bill was so responsive with anything we needed!

About the host
Hosted by Seabreeze Vacation
What started out as a vacation for our family expanded to thousands of vacations for many families. Just a year after visiting Anna Maria Island for the first time, we bought our first vacation rental here in 2002. She kept reeling us in 6 times a year, and we moved here for good in 2011. How could we not leave the rainy days in the UK for the sunny skies on Anna Maria Island? We founded SeaBreeze Vacation with the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy a slice of paradise. Our commitment to hospitality and treating others like family led us to running 80 properties today while our dedicated staff maintains a high attention to detail. We're always working to provide the best vacation experience for guests and the highest level of care and return for our property owners.
The SeaBreeze Vacation Difference. Unlike other vacation rental companies, we're here for you with the entire staff at SeaBreeze Vacation living here locally. Our guest services and round-the-clock maintenance readily respond to your questions and needs. Want to know how to get to secret beach spots or the best places to dine with your dog? We've got your back! Every stay includes freshly laundered, hypoallergenic linens ready to use upon arrival thanks to our in-house professional linen service. We only partner with the best companies to ensure high-quality experiences from inspections to cleaning. Our office and warehouse facility are located in the heart of Anna Maria Island on Holmes Beach to better serve both guests and owners.
Five-Star Vacation Rental Experiences. From beachfront condos and bungalows to cottages and large homes, we have just the vacation rental for you and your loved ones — with available accommodations for pets and boats! SeaBreeze Vacation rentals welcome guests with many modern amenities, such as fully equipped kitchens for easier cooking and endless fun with entertainment options. Vacation rentals with private pools, game rooms, hot tubs, on-site bars, and rooftop terraces are the added cherries on top! You'll feel like a local when you're just steps to the soft Anna Maria Island beaches but enjoy the convenience as a guest while we take care of any hassles. Book direct with confidence — guaranteed best rates and no hidden booking or admin fees!*
Stress-Free Supplementary Services. We happily handle the fussy matters to ensure the whole family spends more time enjoying a relaxing vacation. With our grocery pre-stocking services, you come to a home ready with refreshments after your travels. Need a crib, high chair, or pack n' play and would like to save luggage space? We provide them at an additional fee and will have them clean and waiting for you and your little one upon arrival. If you'd like to enjoy an evening with your honey, we have licensed babysitting services available on speed dial. As a fun way to access any area on Anna Maria Island, our golf cart rentals make for a real crowd pleaser! If you're in need of anything special, give us a call! We'll do our best to provide you anything and everything you may need.
