Beach weekend
Gorgeous house and backyard. It has beautiful views of the bay and the house itself was very clean. The room situation wasn’t ideal as we had mostly couples staying here…there’s a random bed day in the hallway and I think they stretch the idea of how many people can actually stay there. We brought an air mattress just in case and I’m glad we did but other than that’s everything was great. We definitely would come back!

This house was in a great location and had a nice pool and interior. The property manager was very responsive which was great. However, we couldn’t figure out how to open the door at first but we got help right away.
The house was lovely and the hosts were great. Unlocked myself after hours and got help from them immediately. Location is amazing- steps from the bay and beach and tons of great restaurants and shopping! Loved it!
This is a true beach house on the water with its own dock and a big swimming pool in the yard. The beach is less than a 3 minute walk but the pool was so great we made over to the beach once! There is an elevator and it s awesome for taking food and drinks down to the pool level. It was a cool place well decorated very comfortable and some great views. We had a great time. I recommend this place to adults and families.
Great location. Close to coffee, ice cream, gelato, restaurant’s. Very close beach access with a short 5 min walk. Awesome having a private pool, hot tub with outdoor patio area and and dock on the bay side. All cooking utensils, pots and pans, grill, everything you need for in home living Experiance. Highly recommend for a great family vacation.

Thank you so much for the great recommendation, and for being our guests! We are glad to know you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again next time you vacation to Anna Maria Island!
The Sea Zoo was amazing. Such an awesome location between the two bodies of water. One day we walked to the beach, another day we rented a boat and docked at pier. Everyday you found us on the pool several times. Night time shops and restaurants near by. Hot tub at night. The landscape on this property is well maintained, loved the tiki bar by the pool. We will stay there again.

We absolutely loved the Sea Zoo so big and spacious ! The view was breathtaking! Sunrise over the bay and sunset at the beach! We loved the walking distance to the beach and shops. The pool and hot tub were refreshing. The only negative was that the elevator was not working but we all agreed we didn’t mind getting in the extra steps. all agreed we didn’t
