Amazing
I was surprised how clean this place was. As a mother of two kids (3 y.o & 8 m.o) I was so worried that I would not have all the things I needed and I brought a lot of stuff but here you will find everything you need. Clean towels, beach towels, beach chairs etc (they even had beach toys). The kitchen had all the appliances and dishes a family would need. I have traveled around the world in so many countries and this is my favorite place so far. Joan and Olga were wonderful hosts. We will be back for sure.

We went fishing in the gulf and caught 7 whiting and a pompano. Too chilly for swimming except for our 87 degree heated pool. Since our daughter lived nearby,we were able to visit with her.

Quaint oasis
We had a great time in this quaint little spot. Two block walk to the beach right across the street. This is on the main road FYI, and the road was always busy during Spring Break week. Most people will easily stop for you to cross though. The little courtyard area was a plus and loved that it was surrounded by trees to give you a tropical feeling. Fun to have breakfast/lunch there or play cards with friends. So helpful to have chairs and a beach wagon available for our use. Place was very clean and fully stocked. They even provide laundry and dishwasher pods, makeup remover wipes, trash bags, etc. and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The bed was comfortable. Nicely updated place. The pool is small but very cute and tropical ambiance. My girls still had fun swimming.

Impeccably clean and ready for guests.
Check in was easy. Owners contacted us immediately to ask if we needed anything. Even helped us find an open restaurant on our arrival on Thanksgiving. Every thing looked brand new, the kitchen had any utensil you could need. Beach towels and chairs were provided. The pool was a perfect heated temperature. Easy walk or trolley ride to north end of island. Close to the grocery store. We also rode the trolley down to the other beaches and shopping district. You could spend a week on the island without a car easily. But, they had plenty of off street parking for their guests. This is a perfect, cozy place to stay. Oh, and a laundry room included!

Cozy Getaway in the Middle of Paradise
Came here to celebrate my wife's and I anniversary and we couldn't have been more pleased. This rental had all the amenities you could ask for and then some. Super clean and comfortable and literally no more than a four minute walk to the beach. The location is centralized to AMI and the free trolley stops are just around the corner which runs between Coquina Beach and the AMI pier. We barely used our car for anything because if it wasn't already in walking distance, the trolley would put you there. Our hosts were super friendly and accommodating and we never had an issue during our entire stay. The area was spared the worst of Hurricane Ian and I'm so glad as we never had an issue with finding local places to eat or visit and the beaches were absolutely gorgeous. We can't recommend this location more and look forward to returning.

Anniversary getaway
Joan's place is a super cute, super comfortable, tranquil little piece of paradise! It had all the amenities you need for basics as well as supplies for your day at the beach! Beach is a super short walk, and nice and quiet. We loved our short time there, and wish we could have stayed the whole week!(unfortunately cut short by hurricane Ian). Great communication with Joan for anything you need or are concerned about! We will definitely book at Harbor Lane Court again! Thanks Joan and Olga!

Anniversary celebration
My wife and I stayed at Harbor Lane Court for our 25th Anniversary and it was perfect! The location is ideal (beach is close, amazing and not overcrowded) and the accommodations couldn't have been better (just the right size stocked with everything you need to make your stay perfect). Despite being on a main road it is surprisingly quiet and secluded. The pool was a great way to end the day and the mattress was super comfortable. Will definitely be back.

It's the little things that can make a difference
My wife and I stayed here for 5 days. We loved the location, and the VRBO was ideal. We had family transport us from the airport to HLC and we then relied on the free trolley to explore AMI. About halfway through our visit, we met the owner and had a plesant conversation. During the conversation, I asked if it would be possible to get a roll of toilet paper for our unit, as there wasnt much left. We were told that each unit only gets two rolls per stay ( no matter the length of stay) and that we would have to go purchase our own. I mentioned that our unit only had one and a half rolls, and that we were relying on public transportation. Nonetheless, we still had to go buy our own toilet paper, and do our own laundry in order to have enough washcloths and towels to get through our 5 day vacation stay. We would have considered staying here again, however its the little things such as having enough toilet paper and clean washclothes that will cause us to look elsewhere next time. Sadly the owners may have lost a repeat customer over a couple simple items. Items that as a guest, we shouldn't have had to handle ourselves while on vacation. I hope the owners change these things for any future guests.

About the host

Hosted by Harbor Lane Court

Host profile image
41 years ago, I moved to Anna Maria Island from North Carolina and rented one of these apartments for a few years. It was a great place to call home. Today, my partner Olga and I own it and have restored the entire property as though we were going to live in it. We paid attention to details and created a home atmosphere at a vacation resort. I also have had a screen-printing business on the island since 1985, so we're not absentee owners like a lot of rentals. We will be around to make sure your needs are met. Enjoy our home! It is owner maintained for quality assurance.

Why they chose this property

We inherited this property from my dear friend and business partner, John Lach, who passed away in 2015. We could have sold it but knew it would probably be torn down and another huge party house would go up instead. My partner Olga and I knew what a great little resort it would make, and tried to keep as much of its 1962 charm as possible, like refinishing the terrazzo floors. We put in all new stainless steel appliances & replaced the tubs with low curb showers to get in and out of easier. I really would love to live here myself!

What makes this property unique

The resort is unique for it's Old Florida charm and relaxing grounds. All units are full apartments with a separate bedroom and a sleeper sofa in the living room. 4 families can rent the whole resort and have it all to themselves for the same price as one huge house, then everyone has their own kitchens and own space if they want to get away and have their privacy. We take pride in the cleanliness and tranquility that comes from vetting our guests before accepting booking requests instead of doing instant bookings where you could wind up with a fraternity party in the unit next to yours.
