This was a great place to stay. Right on the beach, easy walking distance to various restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My only suggestion is to provide a list prior to check in regarding supplies provided. That will enable guests to come fully equipped if they choose not to leave once they arrive. Would definitely come back!

Sandra was a great host. She always answered our questions so quickly. She has fixed her place up so much after the hurricane damage. It was so clean and comfy. We loved being able to open the patio door and walk right out on the beach. There were so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

This is our second Christmas staying here and you cannot beat the location. The views, the beach, the walk to bridge street are all amazing. Having four chairs to sit outside would be nice, there is only a patio set for two, but aside from that it’s wonderful. There are two beach chairs and they added grills this year which was wonderful. If you are looking for views, the beach, and location, this place is it.

We had an awesome time. The condo was just as described, if not better. Everything was great! The location couldn't have been any better. You are literally within walking distance to several bars and restaurants. While we were there, we met a great family from Georgia who was staying next door. I would highly recommend staying here. We are planning on coming back. Thanks for helping have a wonderful vacation!

Great stay

We didnt stay in house much. Spent most of the time in ocean. So close to water we just walked back and forth for lunch etc. Had umbrella and beach chairs. Only thing that we didnt know was you have to wash, dry, fold and put away all laundry except for last day. Also same with dishes and take out garbage for check out but not a deal breaker. Enjoyed the place very much. Sunsets beautiful from deck over ocean.

Dirty, cluttered, and noisy

This property needs a deep cleaning and decluttering. The owner has numerous personal items (paint cans and dirty drop cloth, hundreds of family photos, 2 kitchen drawers stuffed with junk, over 12 artificial flower arrangements) that need to be removed. The condo desperately needs repainting and deep cleaning. AND, the walls are paper thin. I could hear people sneezing, running showers, the TV, and a dog barking. If you can ignore the above, it truly is right on the beach. However, don’t expect the outside hose to work, even after maintenance repaired it.

I am sorry this renter was unhappy in my home. Everything possible was done to accommodate her needs. The tenet contacted me two days before her stay asking to rent the condo.She informed me she had rented another unit for two weeks and was dissatisfied with it and wanting to be in a better accommodation. My condo was scheduled for painting and a deep clean during this week but to accommodate thid tenant the painting was rescheduled for the next available date which will be in early November. Within the first few hours of her arrival the tenant called to report a burned-out lightbulb and that she was unable to work the complimentary beachfront hose. Maintenance immediately went out to address the issue.and found it to be fun ctional . While he was there the tenant informed him of her distaste for the condo decor. During the week my personal photos that were stored in the cabinet where rummaged through along with all the drawers and cabinets. As a property owner I strive to keep my renters happy . Over the past few years I have updated the kitchen with a new breakfast bar,new solid surface. countertops and backsplash and updated all my appliances .Both bathrooms have been renovated and the hot water heater and air conditioner I have been replaced. I take pride in the fact that I have Lloy 98.per cent five star ratings o the last 19 years with the exception ol 2 four stars. I hope this tenant will be able to find a satisfactory vacation rental in the future.

Great location a lot to be desired

pros: the location is awesome. Community grills are now outback and nothing better than a steak cooked on the beach. Cons: odd amount of personal items. Hard to decipher what to use (like towels). Checkout instructions were vague. As to what expectations were. Never received check in information from the host. Chased VRBO customer service to no avail, (the phone was going straight to voicemail, they said they emailed). Called messaged emailed never received instructions. Thankfully the nice neighbor came over and was able to get us into the rental and he was diligent on verifying my name to the reservation information I showed him. He said she did attend an HOA meeting via phone the next day but still no communications. Also, the main bedroom bathroom had a wildly large bidet that didn’t function, no big deal but odd to have in a whole home rental without leaving the remote.

Needs work

This property is not a professional rental and is very much a mom and pop run deal. Poor communication from the property owner, not giving me our entry instructions for two hours past the check in time to the point where VRBO was willing to cancel and refund the reservation, which would have left us searching for a new location after arriving by plane. Very old furniture and not very good quality at that. The master suite’s king size bed is lacking a headboard and is really two twin sized, hospital style, beds that look like they are adjustable but are unplugged and absent the controls. A bidet attachment for the toilet in master suite also unplugged makes for a very odd toilet seat. The furniture looks like something picked up at a garage sale. While the location is good and convenient to all the great aspects of Anna Maria and on a great beach, the building is not quiet. The master bedroom window looks at the street which is about 30 feet past the window, so you hear all the traffic going by. The decor is slightly different than the photos but it very much feels like you’re staying at grandmas house, so it’s not exactly a romantic place for a getaway.

Why they chose this property

Anna Maria Island is unique in Florida in that the restriction on the building of high rises makes it a well preserved beach front community. The beauty of this location is both the private beach access and the proximity to the shops and restaurants on historic Bridge Street. In addition, the free trolley gives you access to all of Anna Maria Island with a stop just outside the door!

What makes this property unique

First and foremost is the spectacular view from the living room and kitchen and the magnificent sunsets! The off street parking for two guest vehicles is a plus.
