It says on the lamp post that you are now in paradise, and they are right. We had a great time at Chris and Sandy's little condo. Right next to the beach and close to local stores. All this and a wonderful pier to stroll out on in the evening and watch the fishermen or have a meal, or just a cool refreshing beer. Many thanks and to coin a phrase, "We will be back"

My husband and I had a most enjoyable stay at Chris's condo. It was clean, well maintained and we would certainly stay here again. The location was absolutely great...close to the beach, canal and city pier for great fishing. The local restaurants, especially the Waterfront served awesome food with a lovely atmosphere, but if you are in the mood for Italian the local Italian Kitchen had great Take-out (authentic Italian) at budget-conscious prices.....an excellent find. The local general store came in handy several times and had great sandwiches - custom made. The local trolley was free and we utilized this several times. The lobster tacos at the "Eat Here" restaurant in Holmes Beach (a short trolley ride away) were a "must have". All in all....an excellent stay in a lovely little condo. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone seeking a great escape to the beach.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this centrally located property. No need for a vehicle here... Just walk or bike to everything. A real treat to see manatees in the canal right in the backyard. Canal in the back, Gulf at one end of the street and the Bay at the other, WONDERFUL!

This condo is really excellent, fantastically placed to enjoy all the beauty of Anna Marie. The condo itself has everything you could wish for in a holiday rental. The small added extra's are such a bonus and makes the stay so much more comfortable. We would most definitely re book this condo on our next visit. thanks so much to the owners.

The condo is clean and well maintained and has many amenities such as beach towels, picnic box, sun umbrella etc. It is in an ideal location only a few steps to the beaches. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and the free island tram stops across the road. Be sure to visit Two Scoops cafe and ice cream shop, the staff are so friendly and its the perfect place for breakfast or an evening iced treat.

A magnificent place. Quiet, comfortable, well-appointed. A wonderful place to spend quality time. The Knowles do a terrific job of making this place a superb getaway for those of us looking for calm and security and peace in a spotlessly clean home.

We had just the most amazing time at Chris and Sandy’s condo in Anna Maria Island. The location was just fabulous, the accommodation was superb – clean with everything you might ever need - and the local amenities were perfect with little shops and great local restaurants nearby. Our two young boys (aged 7 and 9 years) loved the beaches and snorkelling (we even saw a manatee swimming alongside us one day on the beach near the Sandbar restaurant – just amazing!), going down to City Pier to watch the locals fishing while we enjoyed a sunset drink, visiting the local restaurants which were all within easy walking distance, heading off to Two Scoops for ice cream at the end of the day. It was so peaceful – just bliss! Everyone was so friendly and it seemed that this part of the island had “real” islanders and not just holiday makers so nice to meet the locals! We loved the place. Thank you Chris and Sandy for letting us stay in your delightful home and for all your recommendations along the way. All in all it was the perfect place to stay – we will definitely be back!

April 2009What a wonderful time! While relaxing and fishing off the dock, we saw a manatee swim by! The condo was in the perfect location for the free trolley (can literally see the stop from the kitchen window), restaurants, ice cream trips, the beach and for exploring this beautiful island. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated (we had a few questions about the island) and the neighbours were wonderful. Our family is looking forward to returning…soon!

Had a wonderful holiday at your condo, location was brilliant, great fishing off the dock and Richard saw a manatee just a few feet away! Fantastic wildlife on Anna Maria - dolphins, loads of birds, just amazing. Great restaurants, particularly liked The Sandbar and Hurricane Hanksand Ginny and Janes is a must! We also saw a play at the local theatre which is definitely worth a visit. We have been fortunate enough to have travelled all over the world, but by far our favourite place has to be Anna Maria Island. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

We had a fantastic time on Anna Maria Island, and our stay in the condo made it feel like home. It was so comfortable, and the decor certainly added to the beach atmosphere. Great beaches, playground, and restaurants nearby. Two scoops ice cream and the fish at City Pier were both big hits with our family. We'll definitely do this again! Thanks to Chris & Sandy for allowing us the comforts of home while on vacation.

What a great place! The condo is comfortable and nicely nautically decorated. Having the boat slip was important to us so we could keep the boat in the water for our entire stay. The neighbors are friendly and pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the restaurants, the peace and quiet. I'm still on "island time" and wish we could have stayed longer.

March 2008. We had a great month and want to thank both of you for your hospitality. the location is great and the condo has all of the little extras to make it feel like home. the neighbors are really friendly and made us feel very welcome. roger found a fishing buddy and spent many afternoon fishing the canal. We really enjoyed the restaurants and their seafood, especially the Rod & Reel Pier and the City Pier. We are looking forward to returningto Anna Maria next year.

February 2008 Arrived here for a month out of the snow. The condo is in such a great location on the island. we walked everyday - up to Bean's point and on the Gulf side. John caught alot of fish off the dock. We met alot of wonderful people at the complex and can only hope that we can come back again.

The condo was clean and comfortable with a cute seaside chalet theme.The location is perfect,near free trolley stop,beach and city pier.Jack fished off private jetty and caught loads of fish. The owner Chris and Sandy are lovely friendly people, left us alone to enjoy our holiday but made sure we were okay.We will definately book this condo again in the future.

The only problem is ... leaving. With a canal out one door and the bay just yards away, this place is perfect. there's even a couple of places to eat within a 3 minute walk. Anna Maria is quaint and relaxing. The location of this condo made it even more so. It's nice to enjoy a comfortable condo in a great location. Hope to do it again.
