Cathy was a wonderful hostess! Always quick to respond if we had any questions. The home was clean and well stocked. The beds/furniture were comfortable. We absolutely loved the private outdoor space and pool. This neighborhood has always been a go to for us when visiting Anna Maria/Holmes Beach Area. Would definitely recommend!!
Great location. Close to restaurants, shopping and beach. Loved the pool and the surrounding outdoor area. We spent most of our time there. Cute, comfortable and well appointed home! Pet friendly which is so important to us. Fabulous hosts and great communication. We will be back!
Comfortable house with wonderful outdoor entertaining space and a beautiful private pool. Quiet neighborhood with easy walking to coffee shop, bars and restaurants.
Property manager and owner very accommodating and responsive. The property was very clean and well stocked. They had beach toys and towels and wagon to take on short walk to the beach. The heated pool was a huge hit for all of us!! The property is very close to many restaurants, grocery stores and beach! We will book again!
My family and I had a great time. The house and pool were very well maintained and had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach, and the free trolley was convenient. The host was very responsive.
The house was perfect and as described. Cathy was easy to communicate with. Easy walk to the beach and the pool was wonderful. We had a great vacation!
We had an amazing trip at Anna Maria and Island Vibes 1. The house was perfect in size for our family of 5. The patio and pool area was used most of the trip and it was so nice to come back to the pool after spending some time on the beach. The beach was only a few blocks away and everything you needed was provided in the garage. Would definitely recommend Island Vibes!
Great spring break vacation with adult children and grandson. We had plenty of space for the 5 of us. The heated pool and outdoor space was very comfortable and enjoyable. The place was spotless and inviting. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The property manager was in touch and very pleasant. My grandson enjoyed the beach toys and we had fun in the pool. We had plenty of parking space and the seven minute walk to the beach was easy to navigate. We made good use of the dog park down the street and we were able to dock our boat at the marina a short distance from the house. This is a great central location if you like to walk or bike ride to the beach, go shopping ,or take the boat out fishing. We really enjoyed our vacation at island vibe 1.
The house was well stocked, lots of pool and beach toys and everything else youâd need. It was very clean and comfortable and in a great location. Sara was great and responsive. We will definitely be booking again!!
We had such an amazing stay at Island Vibes 1! Sarah was the ultimate host, and the house was perfect! We had everything we needed for the week - beach towels, beach toys, a wagon, cooler, beach canopy and umbrellas, as well as a high chair and pack and play for my granddaughter. The entire family enjoyed the pool and Tiki bar, and it was just a short walk to the beach. The house was nicely decorated and had the perfect beach feel with comfortable beds and a fantastic outdoor area surrounding the pool, perfect to come back to after a day at the beach! We really just loved our stay and will be back!
Sara's home was perfect for our family vacation. Well stocked, great pool area, lots of beach supplies and short walk to the beach! Sara was very accommodating and made sure we had items for our baby upon arrival. Would recommend her home to anyone looking to stay on AMI.
Honestly the place is even better than the pictures and description somehow. The covered outdoor area is huge and cool. The pool is spectacular. They had all the little things that we pull our hair out that we have to buy at other vrbos. Coffee filters, dishwasher soap, beach towels, coolers, pool floats, wagonsâŠ. Truly an awesome place a close walk to the beach.
We loved our stay! We felt comfortable here and they provided us with a bunch of baby gear that made our traveling easier! We loved that the pool had a shallow area which was perfect for our one year old to hang out on (with us of course). The hang out area by the pool was so nice! We loved that it was in the middle of the island so it was close to some restaurants but also a nice short trip to both sides of the island! We would definitely stay here again!
This house was perfect for my family of five! We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor hang out spaces! It was about a five block walk to the beach but it was very doable with the wagon and chairs and anything we might need or want on the beach provided. Sara was very communicative and the beds were all comfortable. Awesome stay! Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is very well equipped and we didn't want or wish for anything. The property was super clean and furnished beautifully. Our family really enjoyed the pool and the ping pong table. The house we felt was in an excellent location and we enjoyed cycling around the island, stopping at beaches and bars whenever we felt like it. Pretty damn perfect holiday really : )
This property was even better than described and perfect for our group. The beds, couches, outdoor furniture were all very comfortable. There was everything we needed to go to the beach for the day, including chairs and towels. The backyard felt like a private oasis. The pool was beautiful and perfect for a break from the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook a meal at home. If we come back to AMI we will stay here again without question. This property is truly wonderful all around!
This was our 3rd Summer staying at this location and we have enjoyed the House all three years. The only reason we would change location is to go to a larger home. Sara has been very accommodating with this property. We Love the Pool area and spent a large amout of time there! Thanks Again!
Fantastic: Location, Pool & Porch areas, communication with owner.
Very Good: Everything else. Very comfortable and very accurately represented in the listing.
Nitpick: BBQ was in need of a good cleaning or replacement.
Thanks Sara! My family would love to stay here again next time we visit Anna Maria!
All the reviews are correct. This is the perfect property. It was all we needed for our family of 4. The house came fully stocked with all the beach items you need including chairs, floats, 10' x 10' canopy for shade, coolers and a beach wagon to take it all to the beach which was a short 5 minute walk. Central to restaurants in both directions. Publix was a short drive as well. It is a duplex located in a neighborhood but noise from others was minimal. Next door neighbor is super friendly providing some insight on restaurants etc. We will rent again from Island Vibe Properties for sure!!
First let me tell you that this property is worth every penny. The home was very well kept and beautifully decorated. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the decor was beyond cute. We cooked in every night and there was just about any dish or pan you would need. The fridge is filtered so you donât have to buy bottled water or get ice every day.
Sara, the host is super responsive and caters to your every need. The garage is well equipped for the beach complete with a wagon and 2 bikes to ride to the beach. Even a beer fridge in the garage. The pool was heated and had the best little tiki hut to escape the sun when needed. There is TV out on the patio to listen to music and while swimming, a very nice grill and tons of beach towels available. I was a bit worried about the pool given that we have a toddler but once I realized that living space was on another level from the pool that worry faded. We have a service dog who we believe enjoyed the vacation even more than we did. We can NOT wait to return back to this property. It was our best vacation in Anna Maria to date and we have been coming for 8 years. Thank you Sara for letting us rent. It was home away from home. â€ïž
We are Holmes Beach locals and we love it here! Dogs are part of our family, so we know the importance of having a place where guests can bring their pups with them on vacation as well. We're overjoyed that we get to share this very special place with vacationers from all over the world!
This is a great property near the downtown area of Holmes Beach which means there are about a dozen restaurants just a short walk away. And they included breakfast and lunch sandwich shops, seafood, pub food, pizza, Mexican food and more formal dining. Many of these restaurants have both indoor and outdoor dining. If you are looking for something else, Pine Avenue in the City of Anna Maria and Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach are only a short trolley ride away. And the beach is about a five block walk from the house, so you can enjoy the sunsets every day!
