Great bungalow. Perfect for a small family and was outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. Short walk to restaurants and west side beach. Property managers were able to provide a beach umbrella on request.

The stay was amazing. Check in was easy and we 100% would want to come back. Walking to the beach and the sunsets were amazing. Wish we would have known about the sandbar restaurant earlier. Eating watching the sunset was incredible.

Really enjoyed our stay here

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Slo M'Ocean on Anna Maria Island! The cottage is in a great location on the island's northern part and is beautifully decorated with a lot of genuine Florida beach town charm. Very clean and well taken care of. The bedrooms are lovely and very cozy, our kids loved their bunk beds, and the kitchen was well-outfitted with dishes and cooking utensils so that we could cook. We spent every morning walking the beach and then returning with our coffees to the porch. Cannot say enough about how nice our vacation was, we will be reliving our memories here until we return next year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Highly recommend this property.

Lovely except for the termites

This property is down the road from the beach, coffee shops, the trolley stop, the pier, and several terrific restaurants. I would be giving an outstanding review except that it not only has termites, but several days later the management still hasn’t followed up to confirm their pest control findings so I can take appropriate protective steps or offered an apology. After coming home, I saw that the house is available on another well-known rental site where a renter mentioned the termites a week prior to our stay.

Thank you for your feedback, Cheryl. We sincerely apologize for the delay with our response, and the issues you experienced while staying with us. After following up with our team, we want to confirm that the day before your arrival pest control was out to inspect the home and take any appropriate actions. Our agent that spoke with you on the phone the morning of your departure understood you to be letting us know that you saw what looked like flying ants, but did not note that you required a follow up call from management. We again apologize and will personally follow up with you shortly.

Comfy Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was bright, clean, well equipped and the beds comfortable. Check in was a breeze. It was quiet, with the exception of construction next door during the day. We hit the beach early and stayed all day so it didn’t bother us. We rented a golf cart and could go anywhere on the island. Our son loved that. We will be coming back. The only thing I would point out to management is that the stove top is easily turned on by leaning/bumping into it. This happened twice while we were there and we didn’t notice until the eye was bright red and very hot. Thankfully, we didn’t have anything stored on the stove at the time. I would suggest property management put some type of lock on the knobs if possible.

We absolutely loved this place! It was one of the best Florida weekend vacations we have ever taken. Everything was beautiful and clean and the location was like landing in Paradise. The beach was just out the front door. Little cute shops and great good! It was magical! Our liitle pups had a great time too!
