Great Family Friendly Place

This was a perfect getaway for our family. We rented kayaks and used the canal with easy access, the kids loved the pool every morning before a quick walk to the beach. We also had numerous walkable options for restaurants available. The place was spacious for a family of four. We loved how much outdoor space there was too!

Great Rental, great location

Roomy and everything you could want in a rental on Anna Maria., Including a pool and large outdoor living space. I hope to be able to come back and stay at this location in the future. We rented bikes for three 18 year-old teenagers and they loved being able to explore the island on their own.

Fabulous location

We had a wonderful week at Robert’s place. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. This is our second time to visit the island and there is not a better location on Anna Maria than this rental. The pool was fabulous and we even had a dolphin come right up to our dock!! Would rent again.

Family First time to Anna Maria

We thoroughly enjoyed the island and all the peaceful location of the house. My family of four with two kids 9 and 5 stayed for week. Everything was very clean and exactly how the listing described. We rented a golf cart and kayaks both of which were perfect for this location. There were a few pool toys which my kids enjoyed and the pool was very nice. Overall it was a great stay and we would definitely go back.

Amazing location

You can’t have a better location. Our family and kids played in the pool and watched manatees go by the channel, and fished. The house is comfortable with many places to sit and relax. The location is a quick walk to the pier, and all of the restaurants and coffee shops on Pine. I’ve stayed on Anna Maria a dozen+ times. This was the best location by far.

Family trip

The location was great, on the canal and an easy walk to pine street and all it has to offer, as well as the beach. The pool is nice to use on the hot days and the entire outside area has great views. Some of the outside furniture is worn, but still usable. The house itself could be slightly better equipped compared to previous rentals we have stayed at in Anna Maria. The house itself was nice to spend the week at, but could also use some updating in some rooms. We would certainly stay here again since the location is terrific.

Old Florida charm

Wonderful old Florida charm. This place is truly special and should be appreciated for what you gain in the experience of your stay. Sure the AC might not be the greatest but you will not get the same rare experience of an original old Florida house in any other new rental. Not to mention Robert is one of the most accommodating and quick to respond hosts you can ask for. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location, but needs serious updates

Awesome location. Pool and outdoor space is great. Indoor furniture is old and outdated. Bedding is TERRIBLE. Several had to sleep on couches or on the recliner. We left one day early because of the bad mattresses. We will not return to this property unless significant updates are completed.

After Christmas Vacation

My husband, my 20 year old son and my 17 year old daughter visited the week after Christmas. The house is a little older, but it is in a perfect location and it was perfect for us. It is located a block or two from Pine Street which is full of shops and restaurants. The ocean and pier are a couple blocks away. The house has a lot of room and seating in the living room and there is a screened in porch, pool and decks. My son enjoyed fishing in the canal. Anyway, it was a wonderful vacation except the weather was cold for Florida. I would definitely recommend. Perfect location.

Terrible check-in and equipment didn’t work

We got to the house late at night as traffic was terrible. The code I was given by the owner of the house, Robert, was the wrong code!! It would not open the lock key box at 1145pm! I tried contacting him through the app but he didn’t answer! Thank goodness I thought to call AMI Rentals who called earlier in the day to inform me the cleaning crew wouldn’t be finished with the house in time. They had an after hours number I was able to call and get the correct code. The next day, I discovered the house did not have any internet at all. I had to wait around all day until spectrum came to run new cable for the internet. It was blamed on old equipment. The house was not in any way handicap accessible if you are needing that as the entrance to the master bathroom shower area wasn’t even 3 feet wide and there were no hand rails etc at all. I will say that communication with the property manager was quite good and she did the best she could in fixing the internet issues. I just figured for a stay which cost so much for 4 nights, those issues shouldn’t exist to begin with, spending given the wrong entry code for the house.
