This house was great! We loved the backyard & pool & being able to walk across the street to the shallow bay beach. Perfect for the kids! Walking to two scoops each night was a must as well as everything else on pine street!

We stayed here after spending three days at Disney. It was a great place to unwind and enjoy the rest of our vacation. Close to a lot of restaurants and shops. Great views from the patio.

This was our first time on the island we could not have lucked out with a better location. Close to the pier and pine st and an amazing view of the bay. House was great with plenty of room for all and the backyard was a private sanctuary. We’d stay here again!

The house was perfect for our group. We loved the pool and the games/puzzles that were provided. My only complaint is the pots and pans in the cabinet were dirty and still had food on them so we had to wash them before we could cook.

Wonderful home, beautiful location
The property was as amazing as the pictures indicated with breathtaking views of the bay!! We spent a great deal of time on the many balconies watching the dolphins and pelicans go by and walking/biking to shops, restaurants and beaches. We used the kayaks, bikes and backyard pool often. Would highly recommend this property to everyone!!
Great place, great location. We had a wonderful time. The house could use a deep clean for sure and it would be nice if there were some cleaning supplies for simply wiping down the counters, etc. Overall, great spot. Can't beat the backyard or the location!
Thank you. We will be back.

We absolutely loved staying in this home on Anna Maria island. The location is a dream and the views never get old. The backyard was the perfect hangout spot for our large family with so many fun things to do. It is very large, with a beautiful pool, and the perfect vacation vibe. We had some issues arise but the propert manager and owner were very receptive and eager to help. Being able to walk to the beach is important to us as my family likes to come and go as they please without waiting for the whole group. I would definitely recommend this house and plan on returning!

The home was amazing. Everything we could have possibly needed. 6 adults and 3 young children. We had plenty of room, very comfortable. Directly across the street from the beach and the pool was outstanding. We will see you next year. Thank You

Nine lifelong girlfriends cozied into this lovely home for a week and loved every minute! It's important for us to cook and share our meals at one table, do 1000 piece puzzles in the living room, and have a bed for every body... This home delivered! Stunning sunrises and bay views were icing on the cake! Thank you so much for allowing us to make new memories here!

We had a group of 4 couples, the space was good . The room with twin/double was the short straw but still had own bath across the hall. All the toys, easy walking distance to shops. Farmers Market on Tuesday provided a chance to cook in the large kitchen.

This is my second stay at this house. It’s my absolute favorite home. The pool, kayaks, pool toys, ice maker, beach cart and chairs made everything so convenient.
My only suggestion is to have a first aid kit within the house.

This was one AMAZING home. The location of the house is over the top,, out the front door and steps to the Beach. The weather was not on our side the first few days but we spent most of the time on the upstairs deck. The view of the Bay is amazing especially the sunrises. Easy access to everything including restaurants, shopping and of course 2 Scoops Ice Cream. This is a home we will be returning to for our next reunion!!

Anapauo Beach house
The house was roomy but really needs to be updated and needs some investments in cookware, bedding, beach supplies and amenities. For the price, very disappointing. Yard very roomy and was the nicest feature but furniture is worn. Stains on bedding and low thread count sheets. Decor very dated. No hot water in master tub. Neighbors were noisy and the smell of weed was prevalent the entire stay.

Hi Shari, are we talking about the same house? The house is updated, and the owners are very good about keeping the interior up to date and well stocked.
Bedding is supplied by a linen service and is swapped out in between every guest.
We will check out the hot water in the master tub.
We have no control over the neighbors, that house is rented from another company. We apologize that you had to deal with them during your stay.
Next time please do not hesitate to let us know when an issue arises so we can get things addressed. Thanks, Sato Real Estate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is perfectly located and well equipped. It is directly across the street from the bay and while the bay has very little beach we enjoyed swimming there and paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing there. We only had to carry the equipment across the street. We also rented a golf cart and that was awesome to be able to get around the island easily. I highly suggest you rent one. The house also has pac'n'plays for the toddlers. No working gates though for the stairs.
As far as the cleanliness of the house, I would not be able to rate it high. The blankets were not clean, nor the dishes and silverware. We had to clean that before we could use them. The A/C didn't work the first night on the 3rd floor and while we reported it and left multiple messages, we were never contacted. The 3rd floor bedrooms were 84 degrees the first night. The repair man just showed up the following day about 1:00 pm. It would have given me much comfort if the management had called me to let us know they were working on this. Once that was resolved everything was great.

HI Cathy,
Thank you for your kind words.
I see a note in your reservation that you called the office 2 days after arrival concerning cleanliness. Please, if you use our company in the future; call our office immediately so we can apologize and send the cleaning crew back.
We apologize that you weren't warned about the AC company coming to repair your AC unit. We try to keep our guests posted especially if someone is coming to the house.
Thank you for taking the time to place this review,

We were to go on a cruise that got canceled two years in a row and had three days to figure out where we were going, and we found this beauty that made everything so much better. Once we got down there we had so much fun we had six teenagers with us that we never seen ever because there is so much to do there. We may have to make this a yearly visit. If you ever think to rent this place you will have the time of your life.

Hi Ashlee, thank you for the great review. We are glad this filled the void of your cruise. We are happy you all had a great time, and we look forward to hosting you again. Thanks, Sato Real Estate.
Perfect house for large groups. Beautiful views from the front porch to relaxing on the back porch overlooking the pool. Large open floor plan allows everyone to gather & be together. Our only wish is that the front porch had the missing ceiling fans installed so we could have had a breeze when sitting out. But I would definitely recommend this home for your getaway.

Full stocked with floats etc. kayaks and paddle boards perfect for the bay across the street! Kitchen was equipped exceptionally well! Hope to rent this house again!

Hey Ruth, thank you for the awesome feedback. We are glad you all enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again! Thanks, Sato Real Estate.
Our party of 9 greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was perfect, the pool area was fantastic, the views of the bay off of the balconies amazing. There was plenty of space and privacy for all, a well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds and gorgeous finishing touches to the home. If I had to think of something negative to say, all I can come up with is that the seats in the kayaks were in rough shape with broken straps...thus we couldn't use them. The bikes were great though! Wonderful location near The Waterfront restaurant and Two Scoops ice cream. I really hope to stay here again in the future.
This property was amazing- from amenities, to view, to location. House was stocked with anything you would need! Decor was beautiful and practical. Beds comfortable. Family room/kitchen a great setup for our group to visit together, views on the balconies from front and back were relaxing and beautiful. Shirt walk to the public pier and local shops, including Two Scoops ice cream less than a block away! We would love to come back!
