A perfect vacation with family

We loved staying in this home. The walk to the beach was easy, Pine St was close and we loved having a pool on site for the kids. It was clean, comfortable and well designed. Beach chairs and wagon were a plus. Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear how much you loved your stay, especially the easy walk to the beach, being close to Pine Ave, and having the pool to enjoy with the kids. It's great to know the home felt clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, and that the beach chairs and wagon made your time even easier. We'd love to welcome you back again for another stay anytime!

Perfectly Relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peppertree Paradise! The description and pictures depict exactly how the home looks. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We were a group of 3 adults and 4 children and there was plenty of room for us. I loved sitting on the enclosed front porch to have my coffee every morning. The path to the beach was super easy to go back and forth. Thank you for your wonderful review of Peppertree Paradise! We're delighted to hear the home was exactly as expected and provided everything your group needed for a relaxing island getaway. It sounds like the enclosed front porch became a favorite spot, and we can certainly understand why. Morning coffee in a peaceful setting is one of the simple pleasures of vacation! We're also glad the home's layout worked well for your group and that the easy beach access made enjoying the Gulf a breeze. Thank you for staying with Once Upon A Beach. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Anna Maria Island again soon! ☀️🏖️🌴

We are so glad that Paula thoroughly enjoyed her stay with us. As she mentioned the home is gorgeously decorated, properly stocked, and have plenty of amenities. The home is just a few houses to the beach so you are literally 3 minutes from your driveway to the white sand beaches of our island by foot! During her stay, we were required to have our yearly inspection through the city for our vacation rental license. While we always typically schedule these when guests are not present... unfortunately due to the city's limitations we were required to conduct that day. A member of our team personally was on site with the inspector while they quickly checked smoke detectors, pool alarms, gates, etc for safety within a few short minutes. The few items that needed addressed like a new battery or tightening a gate were addressed on site that day. These were not items brought reported by or brought to our attention by the guest because they were not issues for them... rather routine items that just needed to be conducted as we are dedicated to safety and ensuring all policies are followed for our guests. Unfortunately, the guest oddly left a subpar star rating for their stay and does not match with the description of their stay. We hope they mistakenly selected 3 stars or are simply unaware that a 3 star rating is actually a major detriment to our home's rating and status. VRBO considers stays rated less than 5 or 4 stars a massive failure to provide a clean, comfortable, and exceptional experience. The guests did provide helpful feedback to us upon departure on some additional items to consider or for us to be aware of so we can further enhance guest stays which we have already reviewed but mentioned they didn't bring to our attention during their stay as they didn't impact them. I do sincerely believe we did provide a wonderful stay for these guests as they described here in this review and believe the star rating doesn't properly reflect this.

Good location

The house was in an excellent location, with easy access to both the beach and town. We also really appreciated the covered swimming pool, which was a nice escape from the summer sun. Overall, the inside of the house was fine, but we did encounter several issues. The ice maker and water dispenser did not work, so we had to purchase water from the store or drink from the tap. The inside of the refrigerator was also rusty. The biggest concern was cleanliness and disrepair. There was black mold covering the inside of the shower handle in the master bathroom. It was one of those older 1970s clear plastic pull handles, and the mold was quite noticeable. Several pull-out closets were not in their tracks. The ladders on the kids bunk beds were unsafe due to the latches being broken so they could not be used. We also had an issue with ants in the kitchen. On the first night, they came out in large numbers and completely covered a sealed, brand new box of donuts. After that, we kept all of our food either in the refrigerator or microwave. There were also quite a few mosquitoes around the pool, so we would recommend bringing bug spray. The location and covered pool were definitely positives, but given the maintenance, cleanliness, and pest issues we experienced, we are unlikely to choose this home again.

Diamond in the Palms

This was a lovely house, secluded among the palm trees. We loved the layout of this house, loved the screened porch, loved the easy walk to the beach, and loved the pool. We made fun of the garden cart the first day but after using it to get all the gear to the beach, I quickly apologized to it, in case it had feelings...best cart ever!

Gorgeous place

Lived up to its reviews. Beautiful decor. Clean lots of perks. Short private walk to beach. Only negative was no early check in or late check out. Overall felt very safe in the home. Not many neighbors which I was a little sad about but very happy and would most definitely return.

Amazing & Close to Beach

This is a really beautiful home only a few doors down from the beach. It is amazing, quiet, clean, relaxing....I can't say enough good things about the people managing the property too. If any little thing is wrong, they are there to fix it quickly. This is our second year of renting from them (different house) and we're looking to find another house for next year. You can't go wrong renting this home, it's really comfortable and so convenient to the beach.

Great weekend

We had a nice long weekend! The house was very nice, clean and well equipped. Pool was great as well. The only "thing" I would mention is that you can't really fit 2 cars in the drive way (unless they are very small). We got a parking ticket because one of the cars was not entirely inside the driveway.

Fell short of expectations

Even though our family enjoyed our stay in AMI the overall experience of the rental fell short of our expectations. Just like the previous reviewer mentioned the pictures do not depict reality and already pointed out some of the issues. The overall feel of the house is tired and worn; old furniture with scuff marks, old appliances, refrigerator with dents on the doors, worn chipped Teflon/Ceramic pans, nonfunctioning toaster, stained bed sheets, bleached spots on seat covers of dining room chairs, dust on the plastic plants in the living room, dust on the ceiling fans. walls that are chipped. When you are paying a premium, you expect much more attention to detail.

Phenomenal Place Very Close to Beach

This property was amazing and had everything we wanted in a house for vacation. It was a very short walk to the beach ... maybe 5 minutes or less. The house was well equipped with everything you need for the beach including chairs, HUGE beach cart, plenty of chairs, boogie boards, and so much more. The pool was very awesome! Half of the pool is under the house for rainy days and it was very clean. Chairs to lay out by the pool were adorned with pillows. The rooms were very spacious and decorated very nicely. The back porch was screened in to keep you from the mosquitoes and was very nice to watch the storms. This section of the beach was never too busy and plenty of space to set up your beach equipment. We could have used a few more items in the kitchen but we made it through the week with no issues at all. The only thing that is quite inconvenient was the door alarm that would not stop buzzing one night. I would suggest putting a child gate at the bottom the stairs or some other safety measure for children. This buzzer was very aggravating as you has to hit a disable button every time you went in and out of the door. If you did not close the door in a few seconds it would loudly buzz. This was not a game changer for our vacation. If you want an awesome house steps from the beach then pick this home. We had an awesome week and will be back!

Hey John! We are so happy you enjoyed your vacation and AMI Peppertree Paradise! We truly appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to do so! Unfortunately, the door alarms are mandated by the City for child safety and while we could add a baby gate, the alarms also need to be in place. We do thank you for bringing the malfunction concern to our attention so we can ensure to replace the device :) We thank you for choosing to stay with Once Upon A Beach and would welcome you and your guests back any time!!

Not ideal

The pictures are much nicer than the house itself. Parking was not for 2 SUV size vehicles, you don't need a golf cart because there is nowhere to park it. The stairs from the screened in porch are half rotten, the pool was over chlorinated, it had rained earlier in the day and was serviced as we sat there and were then told we couldn't swim in it until the next afternoon, so that was great with 4 children, several light bulbs were out, the spare bathroom was not cleaned well, duvets had some stains, several soft spots in the flooring, outdoor string lights don't work, foliage is overgrown making it difficult to navigate in and out of your car door, the air vent in the queen bedroom dripped water right on my head at about 10pm every night. The maintenance man arrived to put a lock on the gate while we were there to meet their "code" before inspection which further pushed our cars to the sidewalk and at risk for more tickets. The attention to detail in this home is lacking, it is not impressive for the amount of money paid. There were some old shorts left in the kids room closet from a previous guest. The washing machine needs to be cleaned and given maintenance because it smells of mold and you can see mold growing as you can with most front loading machines. The young lady in the office has been polite and nice to deal with but she is simply the messenger to the owners on Once Upon a Beach Rentals, the owners are the decision makers.

Peppertree Paradise

We loved our stay at Peppertree Paradise! House was clean, plenty of towels & linens available. Jada slight problem with ice maker/water dispenser on the refrigerator. OUAB not only sent a repairman out on the holiday weekend, but also delivered ice and bottled water to the house. They even checked back to make sure we didn't need additional supplies. Beds were comfortable and we all slept great. Really enjoyed the short walking path to the beach.

First time to AMI

This rental was as advertised. The pool was great! For older folks, handles or rails to get in and out would be helpful but were not installed. The inside was very nice and spacious. The decor and appliances were very nice. The property manager was very responsive when contacted. Would book again.
