The location on the island turned out to be in a nice quiet area only a 5 minute walk from a beach that felt private and a 10 minute walk from Bean Point beach. The pool was a nice amenity and our kids enjoyed it several times. The instructions to enter the home were very clear. ##### Ramona W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberta J. 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### October 2023 stay We had a wonderful trip to Anna Maria. The location of the home is very near Bean Point and Rod & Reel Pier. We really enjoyed the pool, and being away from the main roads and had rented a golf cart to get around. The only down side was that we had to buy or rent some kind of beach chairs. In the past I have stayed at a condo, where loungers were provided. Also, the home could use a little attention and updated decor. The living space was very comfortable and the home was very clean. But overall, it was a great place to stay. ##### Roberta J.

Five minute walk to beach through quiet neighborhood. Everything you need in kitchen. Nice floor plan with first floor laundry. First floor updated. Second floor needs updating. Had to clean some areas of kitchen. Went to open windows to enjoy fresh air to find missing or damaged screens and filthy window sills. Old carpet up the stairs and second floor. Lots of bugs in kitchen upon arrival on a Saturday ~ we called rental company and they were super responsive and had an exterminator come to house on Monday. A Paradise Rental Company was great to work with. ##### Jennifer G.

Close to beach/shops and restaurants. Unfortunately our AC quit working 2 times on our trip. The freezer does not stay shut so we had to keep a chair pushed up against it the entire time. There was no "welcome book" that told us info about the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### Kieley G.
