Was our first time in AMI and the house was perfect for our family of 5. The walk to the beach is easier than you would imagine, and the included wagon/chairs/cooler was crucial with having 3 little ones. Would highly recommend.
The house was nice and clean. We had a great stay!

This was the BEST vacation house! The house was at a perfect location to all of the hot spots in AMI- family friendly, safe, 3 minute delightful walk to the beach, and had all of the amenities needed - beach chairs, beach cart, umbrella, pool, beach towels, etc. We will absolutely return to AMI and this new little location. So glad we chose Hav’Anna Daydreamin! Thank you!!

The place was clean, very spacious and very accommodating. The hairdryers were missing and we reached out and they had two hairdryers delivered later that day. Very pleased with that. The pool was warm and clean. The beach was right down the road and the cart, cooler and beach chairs that were available were very nice. I also want to point out that whoever installed the outlet and light switch covers had all the screws oriented the same direction, I appreciate that very much! lol ( mine are the same way in my house ). Overall it was a perfect week staying at this property.

Hav'Anna Daydreamin' was better than expected!! The pictures represent exactly what you get and really don't show how large the property is. The pool was perfect and the area was quiet. Anything you need is within a short walk or quick drive.

Hi Claudia!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your vacation and look forward to having you guys stay with us again!
We’ve been coming to AMI for 20 years, and while the hurricanes did do damage (RIP Rod & Reel) the island in general looks great! The house is centrally located- walking distance to Pine Ave and all the shops/boutiques/restaurants/rentals, Sandbar is walkable. We always rent bikes and we used them to get to Publix and Skinny’s:) the house is darling - well decorated - beach chairs and a wagon provided- the pool was great ( not big, but perfect for us) The alarm system took a little getting used to though lol. Highly recommend the property!

Nice house. Ice maker was messed up but repair company automatically repaired it. We didn’t ask. Ac unit probably needs to be bigger. House got warm during the day. Back bedroom with AC unit had breaker flip probably 10 times. Once I knew it was outside I could flip back on myself. Kinda annoying.

Thank you for your review! We truly appreciate feedback of all kinds because we always see to improve our guest’s experiences. We apologize for ice maker but I’m happy to hear it was repaired quickly. And we appreciate your feedback about the ac and apologize for any inconvenience that it caused you. We appreciate you staying with Anna Maria Life and hope to hear from you next time you are on the island!
The house was outstanding! The furnishings are updated and the place was well kept inside. Linens were available and plentiful. They have a beach cart to use along with some beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella. This was huge for people that are traveling via the air and cannot pack those items. The location for what we wanted to do was perfect. The ease of which we could get to the beach was a huge plus.One small issue that we didn't like is that they only had 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom...no extras. This was a problem when we ran out and didn't have any extra. There was only one roll of paper towel which wasn't an issue because we didn't run out. There were no boxes of facial tissues to be found, which led to us using toilet paper to blow our nose, leading to us running out quicker. Lastly there wasn't even any salt & pepper anywhere. These may seem like little things. But these are the things individual homeowners who list their homes through VRBO will have. It's a reflection on them and their property so they include the little things like this.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your review! We truly appreciate your feedback. We get all our houses started off with the basics. Fortunately, a lot of guests will leave things behind, so often times there will be extras of things like toilet paper. Unfortunately, we are not allowed by law to leave open items, for sanitary reasons. But, we’re thrilled you enjoyed your vacation with us. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Wonderful home, beautiful island.
This home just makes you happy. We loved staying in this beach cottage. The home has a well stocked kitchen and enough soap, paper towel, and toilet paper to get you started. We appreciated the wagon, beach chairs, and boogie boards that were available to use in the shed. It's an easy one block walk to the beach. Be sure to rent bikes if you stay here and ride up to Bean point to catch the sunsets and then return home for a late evening swim in the very warm pool. The location is close to shopping and restaurants on the North end of the island. Hav'Anna Daydreamin really was the perfect place to spend a week in paradise. We hope to come back again.

What a treat this property was! Our first time to Annamaria island and this location is impossible to beat. So close to the beach you can be there in 5 minutes. Pool was perfect for lounging at night. The house is quiet and just the right size for our family of 5. We will be back again 100%. We rented a golf cart and that was a very fun and efficient way to get around. The only thing my husband wanted me to add is the kitchen faucet needs replacing. No big deal for me but just as a heads up for the property managers!

Anna, thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at our property on Anna Maria Island. It's great to know that the location was perfect for your needs, with the beach just a stone's throw away and the pool providing a relaxing retreat. We're delighted that the house was just the right size for your family and that you're already planning to come back for another stay. Your feedback about the kitchen faucet is duly noted, and we'll ensure it's addressed promptly. We appreciate your recommendation about renting a golf cart for getting around—it sounds like a fun way to explore the island! We look forward to welcoming you back for another amazing vacation in the future. If you have any further comments or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We had a great stay at Hav'anna daydreams! While we were there our air conditioning went out, and it did take upwards of 12 hours to get it fixed (wouldn't have been a huge deal if we weren't stuck in the Florida heat) but luckily we had the private pool to keep cool. My second complaint is the cleanliness was very subpar. Although I would consider myself a clean freak, almost everywhere I looked there was dust, hairs, etc. I was a little disappointed in the cleanliness but that didn't disturb any part of our stay. The location provided beach access a block away which was so nice for us as we didn't rent a golf cart. Overall I rate it 4/5 stars and we would love to return again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your stay at Hav'anna Daydreams. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the convenience of the location, especially the easy beach access, and that the private pool provided a great way to stay cool during the unexpected air conditioning issue.
We sincerely apologize for the delay in resolving the AC and for the cleanliness concerns you experienced. Maintaining high standards is very important to us, and your comments are being shared with our team to ensure that we address these areas.
We’re delighted that despite these challenges, you still had an enjoyable stay and would love to return. We truly appreciate your understanding and constructive feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience in the future!
Overall, we really enjoyed the house! It was perfect for our 40th Birthday Girls’ trip! It was spacious, clean, adorable on the outside, and a good location (1 1/2 blocks) from the beach access. As there ended up only being five of us, we had plenty of beach towels and bath towels, however, if there were eight people, would definitely need to do laundry more often.
The private pool was definitely a PLUS! It was nice to hang out there in the late afternoon after a day at the beach. The chairs and loungers around the pool were also very nice and relaxing. Be aware there are no pool accessories (floats, toys, etc.) and although we didn’t have any children, the alarms on the doors to the pool area are a great safety feature.
Bedrooms were decorated with cute beach decor and beds were comfortable.
Things to be aware of: beach chairs need to be updated…not enough for the maximum capacity, shoulder straps were broken, rusty from salt and sea water, and fabric is starting to rot. There was no cooler to take snacks and beverages to the beach, so we had to buy one. Since it’s not a beach-front property, we felt there should be chairs and cooler. With that being said, there is a beach wagon to haul stuff if needed.
Would actually give this property 4.5/5 stars, and if the beach amenities were available, it would be 5/5 for sure! Would definitely consider staying in this same property again if we visited AMI!
