Great Getaway Spot
Although there may have been a few things that needed to be refreshed in this house, the overall experience and time there was fabulous. The canal view and peacefulness every morning was glorious from the back deck and we even saw a manatee and lots of fish jumping every day. The house layout was great with the master bedroom tucked away from the main space and a fabulous view of the canal. The house felt roomy and very comfortable. The couch had seen better days but was comfy. There were beach chairs provided and the location was ideal. We rented bikes for the fun and ease of getting around but the house is close to everything!! The management company was very helpful and easy to reach. Beach towels were provided as well. We had the most relaxing and wonderful time on Anna Maria Island and this house was a great home base. Two things I will mention though is that there is a required alarm on the doors and windows of this home for safety reasons because of the canal and front pool. It can be a bit shocking and upsetting at first but once you remember to hit the pause button before coming in and out it is fine. You cannot leave the door open ever. Also, being a canal property, guests should know that the canal, no matter where you are, can be a bit stinky at low tide. But we always just made sure we were at the beach or in the front pool at these times. It worked out great! There was also a double kayak on the property that was perfect for morning paddles.
