I want to live in the patio and pool area. So comfortable in every way. The apartment is stocked with all you'd want plus plenty of extras. The island is uncrowded and the beach is a few blocks away.

I loved staying on the North part of the Island. It is quiet, slow, and beautiful. Even though there are families around, you could be in the backyard and have complete privacy. The home was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed, was clean, and very comfortable.The pool was wonderful! We rented a golf cart and I highly recommend. We could take the back streets to all the restaurants, beach, and shopping without dealing with cars! ##### Shayne W.

The Blue Pelican was everything we hoped it would be and more! It’s compact, but has everything you could need. Comfortable beds with extra bedding, private pool, new appliances, pool and beach toys! The pool and back patio are perfection. The pool is large and has a sun deck and surprise bench seating in the deep end. We loved having a private pool and space to cool down in after a long day at the beach. The beach is walkable ( closest access point is 65th street, but we found 68th or 70th street to be best for parking a car or golf cart. ) Our family of four can’t wait to book the place again! ##### Aaron G.

We were on Anna Maria in October 23\. it was the first vacation for me and my little family (wife and daughter under 1). The pool area were fantastic and perfect for us. The Rentals were so nice, we asked every day for change the pool temperature because of our baby and the weather, and there was no problems about that. After changing the temperature Kevin asked „it’s ok now“. It was so nice and helpful. All in All the island is phanomenal and we will come back as soon as possible to Kevin and his funny wife. ##### Markus N.

The Blue Pelican was perfect for our family. My husband and I and our two teenage boys found the place to be just right for us. The pictures on the listing look just like it appears in person. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the showers both inside and out had great water pressure and the laundry closet was stocked with detergent for the week. Our favorite space was the quiet and private fenced in backyard, so beautiful with all the palm trees surrounding the clean and warm pool. Just blocks from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. Renting bikes and a golf cart made the trip even more enjoyable for exploring the island. The property had beach chairs, umbrellas, skim board, a cart and toys for our use as well. We will definitely be back to Anna Maria Island and would highly recommend staying at the Blue Pelican! ##### Mary B. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Billy T. 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for the most part. The property was easy to find coming from Tampa airport. First walk through everything looked great. Property was great for a short stay. We stayed the whole week utilizing a lot of the house. Some of the electrical outlets were not attached to the walls. We had to be very careful plugging-unplugging phone chargers and appliances. The property came with ample towels and it was great that it came with beach towels since we flew in. The property also provided chairs and an umbrella for the beach with a cart. We were also pleased to see they had put things in the closet that other people had left behind like laundry soap so we didn’t have to purchase just to throw away. We left toilet paper and dish soap and bug spray and sunscreen behind. Hopefully to help the next guests out. Then it came time for bed. The property did come with a king size bed which we were excited about since my husband is 6’3\. Unfortunately the bed was VERY uncomfortable quite a bummer. Every day for the most part was great till our last full day at the house and the pool company came and shut our pool down from Thursday at 730 am till Friday am. They didn’t have a chlorine floater In the pool so they had to shock it while we were there. A call to the office and they tried their best to help the situation. The girls at the office were super nice. Would definitely use the Anna Maria life company again just at a different house. Thank you for a great vacation!!! ##### Billy T.

It had a fantastic heated pool and backyard space that we used multiple times a day, a well equipped kitchen, and was a short walk to the beach. If we return to Anna Maria Island we would stay here again. ##### Hannah D.

My family of four had one of the most relaxed and refreshing stays at this property, with the HUGE amenity of the private pool. We enjoyed it so much that it was difficult for us to get out of the pool before sunset. ##### Emerson B.
