Being beach lovers and enjoying the warmth of both the excellent weather and that of the people from this unique area ..... we take many walks along the unspoilt beaches that we love for their tranquility and local wildlife. We cannot wait for our return even after 10 years and our first breakfast at Rod and Reel to confirm we have
arrived at our home from home.. Over 25 years now since our first visit and our love affair with this beautiful island began which is just as strong today...
Eric Povey purchased this house in 2005
After being in travel for over 40 years and travelling the world to numerous beautiful destinations we chose this fabulous island of Anna Maria and the North End in particular for our home away from home..After 10 glorious years of renting our Anna Maria home we welcome many return visitors each year which testifies to the attraction of both the property and the area we are situated..
We love the quiet but convenient location which means we can breakfast at The Rod and Reel and watch the dolphins and numerous fish and birds... then perhaps lunch opposite the City Pier at The Waterfront Restaurant then complete a decadent day with dinner at The Sandbar to watch the exquisite sunset. Museum on Pine Avenue provides a FREE insight into the history of this unique island or watch a play in the small but beautiful theatre or a more energetic life can be found at the Anna Maria Community centre with fitness classes and arts and crafts open to all.
Had a wonderful stay this past week. The house was large enough to accommodate our big group comfortably and was extremely well-stocked. The beach buggies and chairs were especially appreciated and the kids enjoyed using the bikes. Location is in a quiet neighborhood a quick walk to the beach. Beach every morning, pool in the afternoon, and return to the beach for sunset. Thank you for a great vacation!
Chose the first week of November and lucked out wwwith perfect weather. House was easy to find and clean upon arrival. Family included three kids 3 and under and we were pleased there were baby gates, baby walker, high chair in addition to multiple pack and plays for sleeping. Pool area was secure because you had to go to garage door, thru game room and then into pool area. Alarm was on door to game room so we kept track of kids as the pool was a HUGE hit with the toddlers. Beach was a block or so walking distance. Water was 77 degrees but it was November.
Anna Maria Island is so wonderful! My family and I had the absolute best time staying at Beachlovers and we all agreed that we want to do it again as soon as possible. The house was beautiful, and with 8 adults, 2 kids under 5, and a baby, there was plenty of room for all of us in the house without feeling like we were in each other's space. Between the pool, upstairs deck area, large kitchen and living space, and VERY short walk (not even 5 minutes) to the beach, it was the perfect vacation for our big group. It didn't take us long to get into a routine of spending the morning at the beach, afternoon in the pool, and evenings on the beach or at a local restaurant. Eric and Helen were awesome to communicate with during our trip planning, and they answered any questions that I had. If that wasn't enough, their local contact, Charlie, came over with soda, wine, and chips! He told us he was available if we needed anything and how to reach him. It was such a kind gesture! I really can't say enough about how amazing this trip was and if our family makes it back to AMI, we will definitely be staying at Beachlovers again!
The location is prime only an 8-10 minutes walk to the beach. It is a very clean property with a very well equipped kitchen. The pool is not as big as the picture and it is not a heated pool. The furniture is not like in the pictures, it needs updates. The bicycles need maintenance (flat tires) and beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas) need replacement. The fan in the deck was broken at arrival, Eric was responsive in getting it fixed, a new fan was installed 2 days later. However, the property manager "Charlie" was not the nicest person to deal with, he seemed bothered when he talked to us. He dictated the times that he would be coming by to the house, at no point there was a question if we were available. I provided a list of house maintenance issues to the owner that I am not listing in this review.
This was the best equipped house we have ever rented! From the beginning, my experience with Eric was outstanding. He responded promptly to every question and was delightful. On our second night at the house, the air conditioner froze. We called Charlie, the property manager, who had the repairman there almost immediately and the air conditioning was working within an hour. There were three generations-- ages 11 to 72-- and everyone had a wonderful time. From the bicycles, to the heated pool, to the pool and fooseball tournaments in the game room, Beach Lovers had it all! Our whole group would not hesitate to go back! Thank you, Eric and Helen, for a most memorable anniversary/holiday celebration. The Sandbar Restaurant and Harry's are great places to eat and don't forget to paint your SAN dollars as a great souvenir!
Returning to Beachlovers for a two week stay this time truly felt like we were coming home again. All of the amazing features we remembered like the screened in pool area, upper porch, bikes, beach amenities, spacious living room/kitchen and game room made our stay a pleasure. This lovely place was home to our adult children, spouses and three grandchildren, ages 6 months - 5 years. We cherish the quality time and family bonding that we shared.
The uncrowded Gulf beach is such a delight with magnificent sunsets. Our group walked around Bean Point to view the sunrise and collect shells. Firsts this time included a ride on the Trolley to the Bridge Street shops and renting a golf cart to explore the beautiful neighborhood and pier area. Side trips to Mote Aquarium, The Ringling and St. Armand's Circle were fun too.
Beachlovers is a treasure and we look forward to returning to our beach home away from home!
We are located at the very North end of Anna Maria Island in the city of Anna Maria... Beaches are the largest here of the whole island giving excellent walks both gulf side and around to the bay via Bean Point. Excellent small restaurant with unique bay and sea views and homestyle atmosphere at the Rod and Reel Restaurant and complimented with a full service good class Waterfront restaurant and an extended interesting menu... both very close and recommended.. Nearby on Pine Avenue are many attractive small shops to explore together with coffee shops and interesting eateries.. Spend some time at the local museum and historic jail.... Within easy driving the are numerous attractive venues both to extend the mind culturally around Sarasota to Longboat Key and Mote Marine Aquarium and many good value and quality shopping Malls and Outlet..
