Location is the best, just a few steps from the beautiful beach and comes fully equipped with all the equipment needed for a comfortable day there. Don’t forget to take in the beautiful sunsets. Will definitely be looking forward to staying again.

Perfect winter getaway

Clean, comfortable, fairly priced. Great location with beach and sunsets right across Gulf Drive. Ideal for 2 people. Kitchen is a bit tight, prep space limited. But, hey, you are on VACATION on Anna Marie! Lisa (owner) very kind and helpful

Good location

Our stay was fine. Close to beach, quiet. Had a nice time. When we got home we were charged an additional charge of $200 and told they had to reclean everything because we smoked in the rental. We DO NOT smoke. I was so disappointed with this fraudulent charge.

I walked into the rental after you checked out and it smelled of cigarette smoke. I have never had anyone smoke in the bungalows. There is nothing fraudulent that my housekeeper and I smelled cigarette smoke after your departure. I had to take down the brand new curtains and wash them and wipe down everything.

Cute little beach house

We loved our stay! It was the perfect beach house that was close to the beach and shopping! It offered everything we needed for the stay and truly loved it! Lisa was easy to communicate with and we will be looking forward to future vacations to the island.

Anna Maria Island Vacation

This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island. The location was one block from the beach, so easy, quick access. The size of the unit was perfect for two people. Location was also off of the main roads therefore traffic was no problem.
