​​​​​​​We might be only 7 miles long but Anna Maria has everything you could possibly need for your perfect
beach vacation. Traveling with a little one? All our homes come with pack & plays and highchairs. Need
more? There are several great rental places that have everything from baby gates to golfcarts, and they
will drop them right off at your vacation property for you. No need to pack beach towels we provide
those for you.
Remember we are laid back and on Island time - Flip-flops and shorts are ok for breakfast, lunch and
dinner no need to overpack you will most likely be in your cutest bathing suit or bikini anyways.
No need to pay the crazy high fees to check all those bags! With Publix, CVS, and Walgreens right on the
island you can grab any sunscreen, hair product anything needed, why haul it all with you?

A little disappointing but location was great

Cons: No broom at all-$1 mop in house-toilet tissue was sandpaper cheap-( bring your own)- extremely limited pots/pans of low quality cheaply made-pool is smaller than what photos indicate-very limited area outdoor with no covering for outdoor dining-walls in house extremely THIN can hear everything from other rooms and the other half of the unit. Unit needs maintenance for ceiling damage and paint on cabinets worn-limited den seating-tiny outdoor rocks arent ideal near pool-umbrella was broken-extremely limited towels, washcloths etc Pros- Excellent location for restaurants- ac works great until about 10pm then goes to 75 with programming which was frustrating. Soundbar was nice on den tv. Would NOT rent this again

Beautiful home but not a single home

The house is roomy and really pretty. It was not clear to me that this was not a single house l. It is connected to another home. The utensils, cookware need to be updated and we could have used more linens. The family staying next store had two dogs that barked all day and fought with each other. They were super noisy. Nice place to stay if you don’t mind noise and the potential for barking dogs.

Great time

Great time, great place. Nice location close to everything. Pool was cleaned twice a week that is nice. Just please figure something out with the sliding door to the pool: the door with the handle doesn't work, but the other door that is working doesn't have a handle (it was very inconvenient to use it). That was frustrating

Great location but needs some updates.

The property was in a great location, clean and comfortable.The downside is the pool and SPA. They turned off the heater and since it only warms up at a half degree per hour we could not use it for the first two days it was to cold. The SPA was even worst, although they list it as a SPA and Hot Tub you can't run the jets when the heater is on, in fact the blower didn't work at all and had to be replaced. Rent for the location but not the Pool and SPA. Josh

Had a great time

The home worked well for my family of six adults. The home was clean and the space was as described. It felt beachy- loved the decor. Plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the spa and pool, along with the short walk to the beach. Small things I did not particularly like: I thought the Sonos system meant we could play our own music, but could only choose from a list - no big deal. We were too busy doing other things. The spa needs a less complicated running system. If it just had an “on/off” button, that would help. Large open kitchen/dining/Livingroom area provided many wonderful family gatherings and meals together. All family members enjoyed their time here. Hosts were responsive always and friendly. Would definitely rent from them again.

Beach time Bliss

A wonderful rental! This was our first post covid vacation so cleanliness was important and we were not at all disappointed. The kitchen was really well equipped. The living room and dining area were right off the kitchen and super open. The beds were so comfortable. The place had plenty of linens and towels. The pool was absolutely delightful and all the pool and beach gear was great and so handy. The location is so convenient, right in the middle of the island and close to everything. A welcome book had suggestions and descriptions of restaurants, bars, live music, take out, and all sorts of others attractions. So helpful! Lastly, I very much appreciated the instructions for check out that included not throwing away any leftover food. It's terrific that you've set up a way to get that food to people who can use it. I love that you figured that out. The owners and property managers thought of everything to make our stay a happy one. Thank you!

Nice Place

This place accommodated our party of 6-8 comfortably. Good beds and large eating table with lots of chairs was nice. The pool area is comfortable and plenty of pool equipment. It’s a six block walk to the nearest beach access and the house and pool are not accessible without using stairs, so not the best for anyone with any mobility issues. Also, it sits directly under a 5G tower for anyone that cares about this.
