Hi Lana, Glad you had a great stay. All you had to do was ask for more towels. The bed quilts are washed after every single guest. We aim to please our guests 100% so always ask for anything you need so we can take the best care of you! Kind regards, Carolyn

Great home and wonderful host. The house was great, clean and well equipped. Steps away from the beach on a quiet road was fantastic.Anna Maria Island is very nice, peaceful small town. The host were wonderful, answering our concerns quickly and finding solutions. We discovered a free destination charger for our car on Pine Street provided by the city. Very convenient and FREE. The beach is great and not very crowded, white sand and some beautiful sunsets. The pools area was great for cooling off from the beach day. All around a wonderful stay.

Hope to be back!

We had a wonderful time at this property and hope to be back again! We especially enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating! The kitchen had all the basics covered and included a Nespresso which we really appreciated. The beach supplies were wonderful and the golf cart was a great bonus! Carolyn was a very responsive host both in planning and when we had minor questions and asks during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Hodgson

Well traveled, Carolyn and Lee Allan were frequent VRBO home rental vacation users and decided to invest in a rare and beautiful home perfect for anyone wanting luxury, privacy with luxury upscale furnishings on a gorgeous water surrounding Island; Seaside Inn at Anna Maria Island Florida.

Our beautiful home is a couple of homes from the Gulf of Mexico and many great restaurants and shops. Pine Avenue is the main road and we are 1 block off of it. Free Trolley picks you up a block away. We send a welcome book with all the best restaurants and ones to avoid. And, if you are feeling adventurous, why not take a bike ride and enjoy the scenic beautiful water views all around the island? Feel like fishing off a Gulf of Mexico Pier while taking in the sunset? We have fishing equipment for all ages and fold away seating for your comfort. Or perhaps you are in the mood to enjoy the sunset view from our private balcony overlooking the Gulf while sipping on a glass of wine. 2 new Kayak's await, or float on provided rafts in the pool. Our home has everything you need. All you need to do is relax and soak in the Florida sun in paradise. With Tampa 50 minutes away, Nordstroms, Dillards and Macy's with fantastic restaurants and museums and art galleries all in close proximity. Sarasota and Long Boat Key offer incredible water views and are just minutes away on a scenic drive. You will leave a different person, relaxed, happy and fulfilled.
