This house is in a wonderful location, just a few minutes walk to the beach! The house was clean and had plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. We loved sitting out back on the covered porch and enjoying the breeze from the ceiling fans. The furniture was not luxurious or expensive, but it was functional and not a problem for us at all. The rental and check in process was great and we were pleased with the reasonable price which is getting hard to find on Anna Maria. ##### Meg K.
