This was no exception - the house was clean and well maintained, and about as convenient as you can get. Was right across from the beach and in walking distance of Bridge Street and all the shops and restaurants. Wish I still lived and worked in the area, but amazing trips down like this with my family are totally worth it. ##### Patrick M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice H. 22 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Supreme location This was at least my 3rd visit . The price for location and condition is amazing. If you're not familiar with Gulf properties investigate red tide. It was half of our visit and is MISERABLE ##### Janice H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori H. 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Parking Just a little upset because the person upstairs had a big group of people staying with them and took our parking spot for the night. Had to park somewhere else. They had 6 cars parked there. ##### Lori H. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carol C. 20 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication, location #### Not a Peaceful Getaway! The excessive traffic and the construction across the street as well as the continuous noise of the water pump going 24/7 on the Main Street prohibited us from using the porch or the patio area. Even though it looked like we were just across the street from the beach, it was a hike because of construction blocking the way. Bye, AMI ##### Carol C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane C. 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Sun Porch We booked the sun porch because we were visiting relatives in land we wanted to be close to the beach and fishing. It was late to find a location but I was happy that I found this so late in the season. Location is great 1 block to the free island trolly stop, a short walk to bridge street where there are bars and restaurants and cute shops. The unit was clean and the kitchen was well equipped although we didn’t cook BBQ in back yard. Beautiful clean bathrooms with plenty of towels the beds were super comfy and the unit had 2 TVs. Management texted to see if we arrived and checked in on us. The beach was right across the street so we could run back to the house easily. They provide beach chairs an umbrella an a beach cart as well as more than enough beach towels. Only complaint was the home across the street was under construction so they were a little noisy early in the morning and they blocked our car in with a large moving truck, but no fault of management. I would definitely book this property again as it was a gem. ##### Jane C. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bill M. 24 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Love Anna Maria Island We love this island and its vibe and of course the amazing beaches. Been coming for years and know what to expect with all the good and the less so-- namely dense traffic. We really like the location of this place; walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. The place itself is setup nicely and as advertised. The backyard patio area is really great with the grill and area to enjoy. The drawback, and I know its not something that can be generally controlled, was the noise from construction-- both a house right next door and along the road. It was constant and around the clock and did take away from the overall enjoyment. If you're coming here in spring 2023, expect a lot going on with construction. ##### Bill M.

Absolutely loved the property. Everything was as listed. Check in was simple, management was friendly and answered any and all questions. The unit had everything we needed. And was so close to beach access. And very close shops and restaurants. Will stay here again!! ##### Allyson C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Daisy I. 11 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location but bring extras The property was clean. Beds were ok, pillows were not. Parking is extremely limited so plan on having friends over. Zero extras. Only one trash bag no extras kitchen towels. Hand towels galore for the bathroom. Property is directly across the street from public beach access. ##### Daisy I.
