  Wonderful. Peaceful. Private. Spacious. Relaxing. FUN!!!! Our family of 4 had an incredible vacation here. This home has something for everyone--Our 5 and 3 year olds LOVED the swimming (The big one went down the slide over 100 times!) and PBS sprout channel on the HUGE tv! I ADORED the kitchen with assorted spices, plenty of pots and pans, baggies and foil, as well as the laundry in the garage. My husband enjoyed the extremely comfortable bed and exploring the island on his daily runs. We all loved the hot tub and the shower outside to get all the sand off as we went to the beautiful beaches nearly everyday. We had a fantastic week of balanced play, rest, exploration, t.v time, and game time. Kent and Pa were as wonderful as they sound in the other reviews--helpful, kind, there when needed but not overpowering, so friendly. The Island was great too--beautiful beaches, sunsets, the pier, and we even found a playground for the girls. We went to a gorgeous nature preserve with walking paths and tide pools. Amazing.

  Recommended for: People with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  We didn't want to leave the comfortable, pleasant home we rented from Kent and Pa. The place was spotlessly clean, the beds super-comfortable, the pool and hot tub so much fun to be in: it's just like the pictures. We brought our 3 teenage sons (age 13-19) and they all loved this spot, too--especially the giant screen TV in the living room and the extra bikes Kent provided. Kent and Pa are helpful and responsive if you need advice about places to eat, best beaches etc. Anna Maria is a great island--beautiful beaches and yummy food--we hope to be back someday!

  We stayed at this beautiful villa for the New Year 2012/2013 and are happy to say that we would highly recommend both the villa and Anna Maria Island itself. My fiancé and I were with my parents and all four of us had a fabulous time. The villa is beautiful and really spacious - it's also very well stocked (with towels, bedding etc.) and the pool is amazing. There is plenty to do on the island itself and the nearby mainland. There are some lovely restaurants nearby as well - something for everyone! Pa and Kent were fantastic hots and provided us with lots of useful information. We even managed to fit in day trip to the Everglades which was well worth it! We hope a return visit won't be too far in the future.

  We rented this property for a week in September. We knew that it was going to be wonderful based on the past reviews! But words can't even begin to describe how amazing this place is! We were only a few blocks from the beautiful beaches. But you could make an entire vacation out of just staying at this house. The pool and hot tub are amazing with satellite radio speaker to the pool area. The entire back of the house opens up to the pool area!! The owners Kent and Pa are so nice and helpful. Just give them a call and they will tell you anything you want to know about the island. The local restaurants are incredible!! Did not have any bad meals or service at all on this island! The pool area is very private! They also have a garage to put your car in. The home is much more spacious than expected and beautifully decorated! Pa keeps this house immaculately clean!! All in all, this is by far the best place that I have ever stayed in Florida!!! We will definitely be back soon!!! Thank you so much for all of your hospitality Kent and Pa!!! We had a blast!!! Michael and Dwayne

  What a wonderful but too short vacation we had on Anna Maria Island. We found the house without any problems and Kent met us in the driveway. Like many say, the house was better than the pictures convey. It was so spacious and was perfectly set up for our family. We received a full orientation to everything in the house and always knew that Kent and Pa were a quick phone call away if we needed anything. They set out the pool toys right away knowing our kids would be jumping in quickly and even found an additional bike for our son. We ate at many local restaurants. Our favorites were The Sandbar, Oma's Pizza, La Creperie, and Two Scoops. We also enjoyed Capt Kathe's boat tour with her daughter Capt. Katie and did the family fun fishing with Capt. Randy through Lil'Toot Charters- highly recommend this one. Our kids absolutely LOVED the fishing and next time we go back, we'll definitely stay out longer. Overall this was a fantastic vacation. Do not hesitate at all renting from the Davis' at this home. We can't wait to return!

  My husband, myself, 2 17 yr old girls & 11 yr old boy had a wonderful stay last month. The house is exactly as written in the ad & shown in the pictures. We chose this house based on the previous reviews & they were right. Kent & Pa were great, meeting us when we arrived & going over all the information we would need. They couldn't have been nicer. The house and pool were awesome! Everything we needed was there. We loved the pool so much that we actually spent more time there than at the beach. When we did go to the beach, everything we needed was supplied - beach umbrella, chairs, sand toys. We highly recommend this house & the kids have already asked when we can go back!

  We stayed here during the Isaac storm/hurricane- what a blast we had... had no worries what so ever... the house- I can't say enough about the house. I felt as if it were my own. The decription of the home fit to a tee, the interior-immaculate and the contents were beyond expectations. It was so comfortable and accomodating on every level. Kent and Pa are gracious hosts and really do set out to make your experience a great one. The tropical pool- big hit of this trip- we couldn't get out of it... even during the wind and rain- it was so much fun, clean and beautiful. We loved this house and know that others will too..... We can't wait to come back to our Florida Getaway! The Dominik's

  Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig in einer Seitenstraße, aber nicht weit von Restaurants und Supermarkt. Der Strand ist in ca. 5 min. zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Pool ist traumhaft! Unser 6j. Sohn hat die Wasserrutsche geliebt. Das Haus ist mit allem, was man braucht eingerichtet. Handtücher (auch für den Pool/Strand) sind mehr als ausreichend vorhanden. Sandspielsachen und auch Spiele (z.B. Monopoly, Trivial Persuit, Kniffel, etc.) gibt es. Als Urlaubslektüre stehen viele engl.sprachige Bücher bereit. Bevor man zum Supermarkt fährt, sollte man alle Schränke (ggf. auch im Bad) prüfen. Es ist schon vieles mehrfach vorhanden! Wer mit fast leerem Koffer gekommen ist, kann sich in der ca. 30-40 min. entfernten Ellenton Outlet Mall mit allen möglichen Markenklamotten eindecken. Eigentlich braucht man das Auto nur noch zum Einkaufen und für Ausflüge. Es stehen Fahrräder zur Verfügung und es gibt einen kostenlosen Inselbus. Auch Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in die nähere und weitere Umgebung gibt es reichlich. Tampa ist ca. 1h, Orlando oder Fort Meyers ca. 2h entfernt. Many thanks again to Kent & Pa for this wonderful vacation!

  Owner response: Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Kommentare! Bitte kommen Sie wieder zu besuchen! (-: Pa & Kent

  Im Mai 2010 haben wir zum zweiten Mal Anna Maria Island besucht und waren zum ersten Mal mit vier Erwachsenen zu Gast im Haus von Pa und Kent Davis. Schon nach der Buchung wurde uns jede erdenkliche Hilfe angeboten, und wir wurden warm und herzlich von Kent empfangen. Das Haus liegt im Wesentlichen ruhig , der wunderschöne Strand ist in wenigen Gehminuten (und noch kürzerer Zeit mit einem der beiden zur Verfügung stehenden Fahrräder )zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist sehr gut, sie bietet alles, was man für einen angenehmen Urlaubsaufenthalt braucht. Die Poollandschaft ist großzügig und außergewöhnlich mit Pflanzen und einem kleinen Wasserfall gestaltet. Die Besitzer wohnen nebenan, doch die Privatsphäre wird selbstverständlich respektiert. Dennoch ist Kent sofort mit Rat und Tat bei kleinen Anfragen oder Problemen zur Stelle. Das Haus war eine sehr gute Wahl, und wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen.

  Owner response: Vielen Dank von Ihren Freunden auf Insel Anna Maria! (-:
