Beach House Real Estate continuous effort to bring only the best quality experience to our guests, we are proud to offer a professional linen service at this property to better enhance your enjoyment while staying here.

These high-quality linens are washed in a commercial setting using the latest and best technology. Exterior If you would like to have your pool heated, we kindly ask that you please contact Beach House Real Estate at least 10 days prior to your arrival so that it ensures us ample time to fulfill your request. We do offer pool heating as needed as a courtesy to our guests at no additional charge. All of our pools and pool equipment are closely monitored by the pool company for your safety. We kindly ask that the controls not be tampered with. Most of the systems are locked for this reason. Due to the island's strict 10 pm noise ordinance, the pool heaters will not run overnight. Please remember that outdoor spas are not hot tubs (some properties have a spa, some have a hot tub). Our winter months are considered November through April. During these months, we do our best to ensure that the pools are heated to a temperature of 82 degrees. However, please be aware that even in Central Florida we do occasionally get cold spells that can send the temperatures down into the 30s for a few nights in a row. This will cause the pool water temperature to draw down to in the 70s and a pool pump will automatically shut down if the outside temperature gets too cold. The pump will then kick back on in the morning and begin re-heating the pool back to 82, which may take several days depending on the severity of the cold spell. Ultimately, these situations are beyond our control. Other issues such as severe weather conditions, equipment malfunction, temporary loss of use of equipment or amenities due to maintenance purposes, or other items do happen from time to time. Please be aware that Beach House Real Estate cannot issue refunds during your stay based on acts of God. However, please know that in the rare event of pool equipment malfunction during your stay, Beach House Real Estate will do everything in our power to expedite repairs as quickly as possible as we certainly want you to enjoy your heated pool and Florida sunshine to the fullest extent possible! Beach House Real Estate thanks you in advance for your understanding on this issue. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Great home, so close to everything! We enjoyed the pool and the beach. The home had beach chairs and sand toys and a wagon for trucking it all onto the beach. TY!
The best part about this property is the location and the pool and hot tub. It is literally a one block walk to the beach and a short walk to a great coffee shop and breakfast place (Ginny and Jane’s). The pool was lovely and we loved the shallow end for children. It was clean and well cared for. Our only disappointment was the kitchen. The dishwasher did not work well and we did not feel like there were enough utensils for cooking. We cooked in many times and just felt like we were struggling a bit. I like sleeping on a hard mattress, but mattresses, all of them, in this house are very very hard, so if that’s your style, you’re gonna love this place!

Hi Amy- Thank you so much for your 5 star review and we are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay!! We look forward to having you again for Thanksgiving 2025!!
The location of this home is wonderful! It's a short walk to the beach and close to many amenities (restaurants, shops, activities) within walking distance. The onsite pool is nice. We didn't realize we needed to ask for the hot tub to be heated- just assumed it would be, so we did not utilize that as a hot tub. We did have a snafu with the trash. We were told to put it out Monday and Friday, but it got tagged Monday that it wasn't our day, so we put it out Tuesday as well, and it wasn't emptied until Friday. The kitchen was well-equipped. We loved being able to add on the golf cart to be available and picked up on property- very nice! Biggest complaint was that the king beds were EXTREMELY hard. Felt like sleeping on a board. Pillows were also very flat. We had to double up. We ended up calling the management company about the "master" bed to see if any mattress covers were available, and ended up having on sent via amazon that arrived mid-trip. It helped a little, but was pretty disappointed to sleep terrible all week because the mattresses were awful. I expected more from a home of this caliber.

Dear Lauren,
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Ocean Walk.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the home's location and that the cleanliness met your standards. However, I am sorry to hear that the beds were not to your comfort level, and we apologize for any discomfort this caused during your stay.
As each of our properties is individually owned, mattress firmness is often a matter of personal preference. We have not previously received complaints regarding the mattresses at this property. Unfortunately, because comfort levels are subjective, we are unable to issue a refund or reimbursement for the mattress topper you purchased.
We appreciate your comments and will share your feedback with the homeowner.
- Great property, lovely house with everything you need.
- Great view from the captens deck.
- only two minutes walk to the lovely beach.
- only “negative” point, near by street is really noisy

HI Sarah- Thank you so much for your 5 star review and we are glad you had a great stay!
Great location, easy walk to the beach. Definitely a rental for 10-12 people easily. Pool is great, was nicely heated. Wagon was missing when we got there and they arranged one with the hour.

Hi Katy- Thank you so much for your 5 star review and we can not wait to have you again next year!
Lots of space for everyone to spread out and do their thing! Close to shops and restaurants. Street noise was a bit much when we were outside on deck or at pool but we put up with it.

We are pleased you enjoyed your time while visiting and were able to experience our piece of Paradise on our Anna Maria Island!
The property we stayed in was perfect for our family of 10. The location was just a short walk to the beach and included beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. We all enjoyed the pool as well. We were able to walk or take the trolley anywhere on the island. Trolley stop was right by the house. Perfect beach week!!

Hi Linda- Thank you so much for your 5 star review and we are glad you enjoyed the property! We look forward to having you again!
Great location! Property had a lot of stairs. Shower was good. Alarms on doors were annoying. The hot tub didn’t work for a few days, but management was quick to respond. Goid home for family with kids.
Location & space fantastic! FYI we had some splinters from the deck & stairs rails. Bikes was nice but flat tire on one of them. Had to rent chairs and umbrella as the ones there had seen better days.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for the feedback as we have shared it with the home owner. Hope to see you again soon!
This is our fifth time vacationing on AMI and Ocean Walk was the perfect house for our family. A close walk to the beach and to shopping and restaurants, we were able to enjoy all of our favorite things during our time.
The weather was a little cool, but pool and spa were warm and the back yard area is blocked from the wind. New beach chairs and wagon, bikes worked well for the kids and the ping pong table was a hit - especially on a rainy day!
Would highly recommend for families or extended families as there is ample space and two master bedrooms. Only suggestion is new pillows for the bedrooms!

Hi Meghan- Wow thank you so much for the 5 star review and we are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay at Ocean Walk. Thanks for letting us know about the pillows and we will definitely look into that. Thanks
The property was nice It needs a bit of TLC The smoke detector batteries were old it was beeping in the night on a vaulted ceiling12’ in the air The door alarms were install poorly with duct tape and the sensors fell off and the alarm went off in the night The pool was turned off or broken for two days I solved the alarms myself but had to call twice re: the pool If they maintained it a bit more I would have given it 5 stars
