Another wonderful week at Areca Cove

This is the third year the group of old friends met to spend a week relaxing and catching up. Areca Cove provides a beautiful and comfortable setting. The bedrooms are large with comfortable beds, the pool area is perfect and the kitchen has everything you could need. Olaf and Marissa are perfect hosts

Great family vacation paradise

We had a wonderful time at Areca Cove. The location is great, AMI is a great family location. The owner Olaf is very informative, and connects with pretty quick. The house was super clean regarding everything including the pool. Has a great location to the beach about 3-5 mins (depending on who is with you) and they provide beach carts and chairs and many other beach items. We had 6 people stay, and there was no crowding issues what so ever. We would stay again

Love this house!

We wanted a family vacation after my daughter graduated from the University of Tampa. Areca Cove was the perfect house for us. Beautiful with everything we needed. Holmes beach is a 4 minute walk. After the beach we enjoyed the pool. Owner was so nice and checked in to make sure we were happy. Could not have asked for better. Thank you for a beautiful stay!!

Perfect Getaway!

Areca Cove is the perfect spot for a family getaway. We loved the central location on the island so we could easily head north or south if we wanted to. The best part, was that the access to Holmes Beach was steps away. As a group of 7, we could go to-and -from the house as we pleased from the beach. My daughters loved playing in the pool after coming back from the beach. This house was fully equipped with everything we needed for the wonderful week we had! Thank you, Olaf and Marissa for being such great hosts and sharing our little slide of heaven with us!

Relaxing and fun stay!

Our family had a fantastic stay at Areca Cove! The house was clean, comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed for a weeklong stay with our 3 teens. The layout was great with room for both family time and alone time, and the kitchen was set up so well and very well stocked with cooking supplies. The location is amazing - short walk to an incredible beach and right next to the trolley stop, without feeling like you’re on a main road. We had a great time walking to both ends of the island, had some great meals at local restaurants, and got the vacation break we all needed. Olaf and Marissa were communicative, kind, proactive, and made our stay wonderful (even helping out when we left some things behind!). We would stay again in a heartbeat! Thanks Olaf and Marissa!

Everything you want in a near to the beach house rental

This property is a stunner and so well looked after by Olaf and Marissa. They met us at the door at arrival to familiarize us with the house and give us the keys. They are always available and live nearby. The house was very clean and well-appointed. We also made good use of the pool when the beach was too windy; perfect mix of sun and shade. We hope to return to this property next year!

Areca Cove ... home away from home!

Areca Cove was an awesome place to spend two weeks! The pictures accurately represent the property listing plus more. The beach is a short walk across the busy main road on Anna Maria Island, but there is a signed crosswalk that stops traffic making it an easy walk to multiple public beach options. Manatee beach is a short walk to access to a great souvenir shop, an ice cream shop (yum!), food and beverage choices, and daily live music - which we enjoyed often. Anna Maria Island has a trolley - and the pick-up spot is very close to this home. The free (really its free) trolley can take you to the North (beach, shops, restaurants) and South (beach, etc.) ends of the island as well as has multiple stops including Bridge Street where there are a number of unique shops, places to eat, and the marina. So much to do and see! In addition, it is a short walk to a grocery store. Loved coming back from the beach to rinse off in the heated outside shower before jumping into the heated pool to enjoy the afternoon sun. Lastly, I can't say enough about this property owner; he was responsive and informative regarding the property as well as recommendations for Anna Maria Island. Typically, we prefer to try other locations but have booked a return trip to this property in 2024.
