The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach. House is super cute and clean. Perfect shaded pool and hotTub area with upper deck for grilling and hanging out. Only advice would be to have more house hold items available such as basic cleaning supplies to clean counters, some beach and pool items, etc. you will need to rent beach chairs and essentially all beach items. Otherwise we loved this rental so much! ##### Danielle M.

White bedspreads and white downy couch—couldn’t believe our luck that such a place is pet friendly. Very much enjoyed the dock on the canal and the private oasis of the backyard. Easy launch for kayaks. Easy walk to beach, restaurants and pubs and the location at the tip of the island keeps traffic to a minimum. So many things to love about Anna Maria Island and this house with its 2 car garage was a wonderful “base.” Gave us a safe spot for our bikes. One of the best equipped kitchens and cleanest lodgings of any rental house. Rental agency was absolutely delightful. ##### Michelle N.

It’s a short walk to multiple beaches, restaurants, and shops. Lots of space in and around the house for relaxing including: a screened porch, deck, pool and dock outback. It was lovely to sit out there, watching the family paddle board. ##### Paula H.

The house was perfect for our family: 3 teens, parents, and a grandparent. It was in a nice quiet location but within walking/biking distance of everything we needed. The dock was fun to sit on and watch manatees in the evenings. We had all we needed with beach equipment etc. We'd definitely stay again! ##### liz M.

We had a great time, it was perfect for a family. We slept 6 people very comfortably, had plenty of beds and bathrooms. We loved the shady swimming pool, proximity to everything on the island. Really bright and beachy and fun. A few small maintenance issues but overall a great experience and would absolutely stay there again. ##### Elizabeth M.

Overall really impressed with the house and property. It would have been nice to have a little more in the kitchen like Pam, coffee creamer, sugar, spices, etc. It's hard to have to buy all that stuff for only a few days. ##### Sarah B.

Kitchen had high end Appliances and utensils and we used them all. Beds were super comfy. My only recommendation (and not a complaint) is provide some hangers and chest of drawers For the small king sized room. We loved our stay and will definitely come back! ##### jacqueline c.

We enjoyed this property for 4 nights and 5 days. The house was a perfect fit for us. Very spacious and well thought out for renters. It truly had everything we needed. We did rent kayaks from Beach Bums to enjoy the water out back. Kids loved the pool & enjoyed the visits from the manatees near the dock. We are already planning our next trip back! ##### Carrie R.

Everything was as described, and immaculately clean. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cooking utensils and serve ware. Beds were very comfortable and the pool and hot tub were heavenly. The landscaping is amazing, providing shade for the pool area. Easy walk to several beaches. Highly recommended! ##### Kelly S.

This was our 3rd visit to Anna Maria so we have got to know our way around and this was a wonderful stay in a beautiful house arranged by our fantastic hosts. We had very little contact with the management company and they were prompt and professional in their approach to answering our queries. A wonderful stay in the sun in a beautiful location in a stunning property allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday. We would recommend it to anyone. ##### Anthony J.

The house has everything you need including a full range of kitchen items and lots of towels. The beach wagon came in very handy for lugging all the beach chairs back and forth. At the recommendation of the hosts we rented a golf cart and had a blast riding around. The house was very clean, the pool was very warm and perfect for my three kids. I would definitely go back. ##### Lisa M.

This house is extremely well done with landscaping, it is on a canal but surrounded by bamboo and palms so you are not staring at neighbor. You are 3 min walk to beach and 8 min door to waves walk to gorgeous big beach for sunset. They provide everything you need like beach towels, chairs, cart etc. It is on the north end which is a lot quieter but you can walk to numerous shops, bars and restaurants. Or walk to the free shuttle that gives you access to the whole island. We rented for over a month, there were two small issues that popped up, the pool and the internet. The owners response was blazing fast and somehow got workers to respond and be there quickly to immediately resolve. That is the true mark of a great rental. Thanks for sharing your home, it was wonderful being your guests. ##### David O. Stayed 33 nights in Feb 2022 ---
