Fantastic property, very clean and well equipped, nice decor and nicely furnished.Would benefit from having a parasol for some shade and lounger cushions but these do not affect the enjoyment of the property.Will definitely stay here again.
We loved the rental, as it was perfect for us and our boys (3, 4). Great location with the beach nearby along with restaurants, etc. First time to AMI and weâll definitely be back soon. Thank you
Great location with everything we needed for 2 adults and a teenager. The cottage exceeded our expectations. Walking distance to beach, quiet neighborhood, lovely pool, and comfortable furnishings. Would return!
We had a wonderful time on Northern Anna Maria Island. The home was clean and comfortable. The backyard with the pool beautiful and well-maintained. It was just a few minutes walk to Bean Point and getting to the shops was only a few blocks. We had delicious meals at the local restaurant. We canât wait to get back.
Clean and fun! I was with my family in July 2022, the location is excellent. 2 minutes walk to the beach, the pool was amazing for the children, I read in a previous comment that the photos did not give credit to how beautiful the house is and it is true. The house is much better than the photos show. I would come ten times more to stay there
We went to Anna Maria Island to relax for a few days and this was the best stay! The house was super comfortable, the pool was everything for my kids, they felt so happy in the house, it was very cozy, with all necessities, beach at walking distance.
Also, the manager of the property was very friendly when I reached out to him because I left some medicines behind, and although is in their policy to not be responsible of left items, he was very kind to understand my situation and to send it and deliver it to my home addressed. Overall 5 stars. Highly recommended.
This property was absolutely amazing and so much bigger in person! Super clean, exactly as described, pictures don't do this place the justice it deserves. Such a cute little beach house with a short 5 min walk to gorgeous white beaches and 15 min walk to shopping on Pine. The pool was amazing and a perfect way to cool off after a day at the beach. Nothing but positive things to say about this property, it had everything we needed!I would give this 10 stars if I could and hope to be back soon!
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. We had an amazing time. Everything was just like it was stated in the listing. I was impressed with how clean and efficient the home was. The outside porch and pool were beautiful and so relaxing. The island was breathtaking. I recommend renting a golf cart for your stay on the island. Itâs easier to get around places. I had to call Sato company and ask them about a small circuit breaker and they came out immediately. They were so helpful and kind. I have no complaints and I could not ask for a better place to stay with my kids.
The cute cottage felt larger inside than the photos showed. Loved the screen porch and pool. We're hoping for beach chairs for 4, but we were told they were not provided by the owner, we could rent them. No smart tv and DVD player didn't work, so limited some viewing choices. No check out instructions given. Beautiful Island. Most likely will return to AMI! Thank you!
This was the perfect little house for us and our friends. We initially wanted this house because of the perfect private swimming pool. Unfortunately, we came during a really cold week. But that didn't stop us from enjoying the home! It was a great place to come back to at night after exploring Anna Maria Island during the day. We took a short walk to the beach everyday which was beautiful.
Just a few minor details could be improved and the place would be top notch. The beds are very squeaky. We would all start laughing whenever anyone would get into or out of bed. We could hear our friends bed squeak and vise-versa. We also weren't a fan of the alarm system on the sliding door to the pool. There should be instructions on how to use it. And one tiny of issue of making supper and going to put on of the baking sheets in the oven and it not fitting.
Otherwise, a great home to hangout in, play games at the table, qe watched a Christmas movie on the nice TV in the living room and all enjoyed reading and hanging out in the sunroom.
Positive:
We had a few issues once we arrived but when we contacted property management, they responded quickly to rectify.
The home was clean.
Negative:
Filthy gas grill, we wouldnât use it, they responded and grill was cleaned. There were broken chairs around the lovely pool which created not enough seating around pool.
RATIONING of toilet paper (what was left, 2 rolls extremely cheap TP) we had to purchase our own. 2 tablets for dishwasher, 2 very cheap/thin paper towels. For a family of 5 and a 4 night stay these items were not sufficient.
If you stay here, bring a few cases of spring water to cook, drink, make coffee, etc. We realize itâs island water but it has strong odor and itâs not drinkable. I would recommend the owner leave a case of water for renters.
When we return to this beautiful island, we will pay attention to little details such as bare basics such as paper products and water and if there are any pantry items. Luckily we brought condiments and items such as salt & pepper. There were no pantry items however we did see S & P on our last day as it was hidden in a corner cabinet.
The property should have been thoroughly inspected so we wouldnât have to report broken items and condition of grill. For the overall costs of our short stay these items really turned us off and will rent elsewhere next time. The island is gorgeous and there were plenty of other homes available.
My husband and I were super-comfortable in this rental. The location of the property is terrific, for strolling to the beach or biking/walking to local restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet. We enjoyed the pool and screen-room in the backyard. The pool was heated to a very pleasant 83 degrees. The screen-room was the perfect place to have coffee in the morning, and to enjoy reading a book in the afternoon. The grill was so clean; and we prepped a few delicious dinners using the grilling area/tools provided. We ran low on propane, in the middle of the week; and a new propane tank was delivered within 20 minutes of me calling to ask the rental company about it. Great customer service! The kitchen provided every cooking utensil we needed; as we did lots of prepping food at home. We rented bikes from Beach Bums and had lots of fun pedaling around the island! Afternoon live music at City Pier is a great outing! There were plenty of beach toys at the house, if you have kids that might enjoy those. There were two basic beach chairs and three beach umbrellas in the beach supplies. If you are looking to spend hours on the beach, sitting comfortably, a beach chair rental might be in order. Beach Bums is also a convenient place to rent beach chairs. Something that would be handy for a family at this rental is a beach cartâŠ.not sure how a young family would get kids and beach supplies to the beach without a beach wagon. I would highly recommend this property!
We enjoyed our stay very much, what a beautiful island. An easy and enjoyable walk or very quick bike ride to a quiet beach. This house is larger and nicer than it appears in the pictures. The pool area and back porch were perfect. There is a large TV and comfortable furniture on the screened in porch and we could all hang out while the kids swam. Lots of towels and beach toys. The beds are not great and noisy, would be perfect if they fixed that!
The location was so close to the beach! We rented bikes and an attachment for beach items from Beach Bums (highly recommend) too. It was relaxing, fun, and quaint. The owner responded to any questions I had promptly and even let us check out later due to a late flight. So accommodating! We will be back! Our kids, age 14, 12, 9 canât stop talking about how much fun they had too, only wish we couldâve stayed longer!
Great place for a small family of 4. All one floor, plenty of sunlight by the pool. Great patio, and a car pot to keep your car cool during the day. We WILL be back!
This rental exceeded my expectations! It was really clean and close to the beach. We enjoyed the pool for lazy days when we wanted to hang out. We would book this special place again!
There are two 3 story homes being finished next to this home- I hope it doesnât ruin the privacy because this was a perfect place for us! Pool was great!
We have been frequent travelers to AMI for the past 14 years and came down for a friend's beach wedding.. This house was perfect for our brief, 4 day stay! Loved that the house had beach coolers, beach towels and wonderful ceiling fans! Quiet, peaceful and tropical....one of my fav places to visit on the planet!
This house was exactly as advertised. The home itself is very spacious, and the back porch was a great spot to hang out in the evenings. The pool is amazing...and the pool lights at night are pretty cool! :) Check-in was a breeze. We had all the linens we needed, kitchen is very well-equipped if you choose to stay in for a meal, and there are beach supplies if you want to hang out on the Gulf. We ran out of propane for the grill, and the property management team had one to us in minutes -AWESOME!! Would definitely recommend this property, and hope to say here again!!
Loved the property and the location. The place was safe, clean, and comfy.
Super disappointed in the little things, the pans were yucky, no shampoo or body wash, a tiny bar of cheap soap by the sink was it. No napkins and only one roll of super cheap toilet paper per bathroom, so of course had to go buy some for our stay. Had to keep the AC at 74 degrees or threats were made about the system freezing up.
The little things often make the stay go from average to amazing. Felt disappointed and sweaty.
