Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariella S. 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! Our stay was great. We could not ask for a better location for the price. We were in the middle of Ana Maria Island. The condo was immaculate and the pool was an added plus. Stephan was super responsive if we needed anything. The trolley is an easy way to around the island, but if you want to come and go as you please, rent a golf cart. We walked to the beach every day. It was pretty awesome. The only comment I can make is we had to wash towels and buy toilet paper. If you want to cook, you have to buy everything, from foil to spices, not a big deal, the Publix is a trolley ride away. ![Sunset from the beach directly across the street (2 blocks down).](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/362443b3-8d16-4a68-b6bb-33b505175bd0-1750624132275.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nightly walk on the beach. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd9fb1f9-b248-4471-a233-6d42d44a5f3a-1750624132358.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bridge Street, must visit! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8101cf65-0ab4-4810-8941-a81cd90408be-1750624232039.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunset cruise (must do)!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0cf518a-e7a3-4f11-a910-6e3b8d7b3d24-1750624284958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mariella S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan R. 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Stayed here last weekend. Amazing accommodations. Would definitely stay here again! Clean, modern and just wonderful. Host provides a beach cart to carry your belongings to the beach and also provides two beach chairs. However, our “neighbor” in the adjoining unit took our provided beach chairs for themselves. This is not the host’s fault. Just inconsiderate “neighbors”. We didn’t go to the beach during our stay so it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe put the provided chairs inside your room so inconsiderate neighbors can’t take them for themselves if they have a large family and need more than their two complimentary two chairs. There was a minor “hiccup” with our room access and code. Not a big deal at all. Reached out to our host Stephan and he arranged for my husband and I to have free drinks and appetizers at a very nice restaurant for us. So nice of him! We ended up having to leave a day earlier than expected and Stephan suggested next time we go we could get a free night because of have to leave a day early!! How wonderful of him!! Overall a great stay, nice clean place, wonderful host. Wonderful location! Would stay again! And I have to mention the AC and beds and sheets!!! AMAZING! The beds and sheets are awesome! Slept like a baby! The air conditioning is on point!!! Walking into the room the AC felt like a Disney Hotel! We kept the temp at 72 and it was colder than normal AC 72, I can’t explain it. It was so yummy comfortable. Thank You ##### Susan R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### anthony r. 9 Jul 2025 ##### anthony r. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ---
