This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island. We loved it so much! The water was so warm and not real rough. The location of this property was a short walk to the beach under 5 mins. This property had everything we needed for the week. Well equipped kitchen. Large deck under roof to have morning coffee on and evening cocktails. The landscaping was so pretty and gave it a more tropical vibe especially when sitting on the deck. The beds were comfortable. There was beach chairs on property to use and a beach cart along with a smaller umbrella to take to beach. They also provided beach towels. The only thing not provided was a soft cooler to take to the beach for your drinks. This would have been nice since we flew in and that is one more thing to pack. Tampa airport was only little over an hour from this property so we flew into TPA and saved some money on flights. We would rent this property again!

Aptly Named!!

We had a relaxing and wonderful time. The unit was well appointed and the beds are super comfortable. It was a quick walk to beach and bay for amazing sunrises and sunsets. But the wraparound deck… amazing for hanging outside in the evening! This unit has a pass through window from kitchen to deck so you didn’t have to haul plates and platters through the living area. Plenty of beach related items available for use. Great place to stay!

Great stay!

Great location! Only a short walk to the beach. It’s in a quiet neighborhood so you are tucked away from the traffic and noise. Restaurants and shopping are nearby. Beach chairs and wagon are provided for guests so that’s a plus. You won’t be disappointed.

The perfect Mother's Day weekend

The house was perfect for a Mothers Day weekend. The home was clean and well equipped. It has a great deck to sit out in the mornings and evenings. We watched a movie with our friends and it was super comfortable. We walked 2 small blocks to the beach and was close to all restaurants. More importantly, we were away from traffic as they are doing construction further down the road. I would say this is a perfect little getaway!

Great Property

This was a great property and the owners were quick to respond and very helpful. We did not have to contact the property managers. The only downside was the family staying in the upstairs unit bc we heard every footstep they took.

Overall a Good Place to Stay

We rented this property because our sister-in-law and her family were renting on Bradenton Beach. Not the type of place we usually rent when we go to Florida. It has everything needed for a week's stay. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and towels. Unfortunately, many of the dishes and silverware were dirty. The deck and the deck furniture need a good cleaning.The chairs on the deck are filty!!
