We enjoyed everything about this house. The location was great, and the pool and patio area was wonderful. The grandmother especially liked the indoor seating area with the view. Would definitely stay here again.

We had the most wonderful time. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The grandkids never asked for the beach. We had it all there. Dolphins, all different types of birds and jumping fish. Beautiful sunsets. The Hosts were on top of everything. We can’t thank them enough.

Great stay

We were very happy with this choice in homes. Very clean and well stocked with all you could need. Great location. Only issue personally is that at this high pricepoint you have to ask for pool heat to be added at a tiny cost per night and its not just included.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home, especially the cleanliness, amenities, and location. We really appreciate your feedback about the pool heat—while it's currently an optional add-on to help keep nightly rates flexible, we understand how including it could add to the overall experience. We'll definitely keep this in mind moving forward. Hope to host you again soon!

Beautiful house, wonderful location.

Highly recommend this property. House is clean and kept up very well. Location on the channel is great; we saw dolphins swim by daily. Only small, minor downfall is that there is not an outside patio table in the pool area to sit and gather at for meals or conversation.

Quiet home on canal with sunset views

Very nice home with open floor plan. Excellent kitchenware and layout. Hot tub, pool and patio being right next to the water is a plus. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. An upgrade in towels and bedding would make it more luxurious. Bedrooms also need blinds to block light better. Otherwise, it was perfect!

perfectly relaxing vacation

The home is so nicely set up; very updated, fresh and clean with many views to pool and water. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Very therapeutic to sit and watch the water and wildlife. We enjoyed the hot tub with our grandchildren as it was too cool outside to get in the heated pool. Our son and daughter-in-law thoroughly enjoyed their short stay. Restaurants and shops of all kinds are close by including Anna Marie Island and yet the home is tucked in a cul-de-sac and extremely private backyard. Just perfect location!!! We definitely want to come back!!

Loved the location. The house is beautiful. The only negative I have is the neighbor on the left side. We were always respectful, and had problems with her from the moment we pulled in the driveway. The rest of the neighbors were very polite.

Checked all the boxes

We loved the open plan and light inside, and practically lived outside . We rearranged the outdoor furniture and ( humbly) feel it’s a better layout now , and would only suggest a ladder to be added to the spa for those of us who are no longer so agile. It’s almost a “ hidden” gem with absolute privacy , and a never ending view of boats and birds and dolphins . I highly recommend it

Stunning Views!!

Upon arrival walking through the door our entire family was blown away by the stunning views! It was absolutely breathtaking! We saw on a daily basis dolphins and manatee. The place was kept very clean, the only thing that would have made it a bit better would have been bedroom ceiling fans . It was hot sleeping in all the rooms. The only other thing that would have made our stay better would be for there to be a shaded area to use while back in the pool. There was no where to escape the sun for a bit. The place place was great and we would return!

Beautiful Home and Views

Overall, we had a wonderful stay here. We enjoyed the pool every day (sometimes multiple times a day) and watching the sunset. Lots of towels and extra blankets. Location was great and close to everything we needed. Communication with office staff was fast. My in-laws arrived first and said the floors were not super clean so my mother-in-law mopped them herself. The coffee maker had also not been cleaned/emptied. It would be so nice for families with children if there were a few extra things like a pack n play, children’s silverware, high chair, tupperware for packing lunches, etc. The rooms are also pretty bare (just basic furnishings) but are still comfortable.

Casa Palma has beautiful views and is situated close to an amazing nature reserve and a short drive from Ana Maria Island and beaches. The house was clean. My only complaints are the following, we paid for the pool to be heated and it was not even though the property owners texted us that they needed to have a confirmation of the additional cost to heat the pool four days ahead of planned arrival. The beds were really uncomfortable as were the pillows which made our stay less than relaxing. There are a lot of rules and it feels like the property owners are trying to nickel and dime you everywhere with excessive early check in and check out fees, an excessive cleaning fee even though they expect you to strip the beds and start the sheets in the laundry before you leave. The pool never got warm the six days we were there because they turn the pool heater off at night.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views, the nearby nature reserve, and the convenient location close to Anna Maria Island and the beaches, and that you found the home clean. We’re truly sorry that the pool heating did not meet your expectations. We understand how important this amenity is, especially when an additional fee is paid. While pool heating can be affected by outdoor temperatures and operating cycles, we recognize that this was frustrating and did not provide the relaxing experience you were hoping for. Your comments are being reviewed so we can improve clarity and consistency around pool heating expectations. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the beds, pillows, and house policies. Comfort and transparency are very important to us, and your perspective helps us identify areas where we can improve the guest experience, including communication around fees, checkout procedures, and overall comfort. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. We value all feedback as it helps us continue to improve for future guests.
