The house, location, and amenities were great! The only complaint we had that would have given this place a 5 star were the mosquitos. The outdoor area was incredible but we didn't get to use it much due to the swarms of mosquitos. We even used bug spray and still got eaten alive.

We were on a family vacation with 2 grandparents, and two families of 4 and this house was wonderful!! The pool and outdoor area was superb. The kids had a blast swimming, playing mini golf, and playing ping pong and we loved that we could do it all at the house! The house was very clean, the beds were super comfortable, the proximity to the beach and local restaurants was great. We rented two golf carts- one 4 seater and one 6 seater and it was such a fun, easy way to pop around the island. We did have a few issues (door code needed new batteries, freezer door wouldn’t close, garage door stopped working… lots of door issues haha) but the hosts were extremely responsive and sent techs out asap who took care of our needs. I would absolutely recommend staying here!! I wish we had been able to stay longer!! There only a couple things we wished we could change about the house: we wished there was a bathroom on the ground floor so we didn’t have to go upstairs to use the restroom, and we wished there was a full bathroom on the 1st floor so that the kids in the bunk room didn’t have to use the showers in the upstairs’ rooms. The primary suite is on the 1st floor, plus a half bath, but no other full bath down there. Having a washer and dryer was awesome (make sure you bring or order detergent). Pool towels were really nice but I’d recommend bringing beach towels so you can leave the pool towels at the house. Beautiful house!!!

What a wonderful family getaway, Ginna! It sounds like Southern Exposure by Anna Maria Vacations was the perfect home base for making memories together. We love hearing that the pool, mini golf, ping pong, and outdoor space kept everyone entertained, while the comfortable home and great location made it easy to enjoy the island. Thank you as well for your patience with the few maintenance hiccups. We’re glad our team could respond quickly and get everything resolved so you could get back to vacation mode. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and kind recommendation. We’d love to welcome your whole family back for another island stay and hopefully a little longer next time!

Great location and beautiful home. Few unfortunate issues.

The home itself was beautiful, large and conveniently located. You can tell it is a rental property as there is some wear and tear. The dishwasher and kitchen sink were both broken on our arrival. This did not bother us much as we were still able to use both. However, the pool and hot tub heater was broken and took more than half of our week long stay to fix. The property management company was responsive but also seemed very irritated by our daily phone calls for updates. The main reason we booked this house was because of the pool/hot tub given that we had five small children so I did feel it was very important that we were able to use. I wish the management company would have been kinder and more apologetic about this inconvenience.

Great location!

Very nice property and the location is great! You’re within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. Park your car and rent a golf cart. You can take the golf cart anywhere on the island. Easier to park and saves $ on gas. Only two downsides was that the pool was heavily shaded with trees, so if you’re looking to lay out and get some sun, you’ll be better off doing that at the beach. The other was the alarm on the doors, I understand they’re required by the island ordinance, but it’s very annoying and woke the kids up from naps and you couldn’t keep the door open if you wanted to. Otherwise, it was a great property and would highly recommend it! We’d stay there again in the future!

A week in paradise!

What a wonderful home for a family! This was our first family vacation in 12 years and my kids are now grown and married with kids of their own. We were four blocks from the beach and three blocks from Ginny's (great food, cinnamon rolls to die for!) Each of the couples had an ensuite. And we had a room for the kiddies too! Plenty of room for everyone to eat together, play cards or watch TV. The pool was a great size for sunning or playing. A huge covered area for those of us who can't take too much sun. The kitchen is spacious with a large fridge. A local rental company had dropped off all the baby things we needed and so travel was light. A large golf cart got us around great with room for car seats for the little ones. (A must have for local laws.) I called ahead about beach towels and told there weren't any but that was not the case. There are 8 beach towels. Also a hair dryer. (things I wouldn't have had to pack had I known.) The grill was out of gas so we filled it. (your welcome) The upstairs alarm was on the floor when we got to the home as it looks like the adhesive wasn't holding. We reported this. Then we realized that these alarms are SO loud the downstairs one would wake up the baby. ARGH. It is a safety feature we understand but if you want to come in from the outside there is no way to quiet it. Terrible design. the sliding door to the porch is huge and heavy and extremely difficult to open. (no worries that a two year old could do it) There is salt and pepper. We had to buy plastic wrap, foil, dish soap, dish sponge, trash bags, etc. We didn't mind but of course how do you use those all up in one week? Hope the next family can use them. The couches have off white slip covers which was a constand point of stress for this Gigi and the momma when you have a two year old. Perhaps darker color would be a better choice. There needs to be a trash can in the downstairs area and some of the room didn't not have trash cans either. The upstairs bedrooms really need ceiling fans. The rooms run hot at night. The is a need for a fan on the porch and REALLY need one in the downstairs outdoor area. There was no broom. Just a little whisk broom and the vacuum cleaner. Cleaning the floor was a challenge. The food from every restaurant was great! We loved the island and the house and our planning for a trip in 2021! thank you all!

Jill, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know about your stay at Southern Exposure. It is such an amazing home and we are thrilled that you and your family had a well-deserved and long-overdue vacation together! We will definitely pass along your comments about the fans and the furnishings to the owners for thier consideration. Since this home is not on our linen program, we couldn't guarantee the presence of beach towels so I'm glad that they were there fo your use. The alarms are quite loud, but as you stated, it is a safety feature mandated by the city which was instituted after a tragic event with a toddler getting out to the pool area of a home here on the island. Better safe than sorry when it comes to safety features. Anna Maria Vacations does provide a list of the items that we provide for our guests to use. There should have been a starter pack of dishsoap, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. We do not provide any items that are food related as guests have expressed concerns regarding the possibility of tampering ~ we chose to err on the side of caution. There is a dollar store on the island that sells small amounts of most necessary items for a week's stay. We hope that we can welcome you back to Southern Exposure in the near future!

Great house and location for a large family of adults and kids.

Great house with awesome pool. One suggestion would be to provide a few basics like salt, pepper and cooking oil. That’s usually pretty typical. Also ceiling fans in sleeping rooms would save $ w ac. We’d definitely come back.

Southern Exposure is one of the most beautiful rentals on the island! Spectacular stay!

We loved the pictures of this property on line, but were skeptical that the property would be as nice in person. It was just as nice if not better in person. We took 10 people for my wife’s birthday and had plenty of room. Bathrooms in 4 of 5 bedrooms, great pool area, laundry, Jen air appliances, covered porch, and so much more. What a beautiful home!!!!! Also, check in and check out were so easy. Just show up and be ready to enjoy. What a great family vacation. Didn’t hurt that it was 80 all week as well! Want to come back every year!
