Convenient to beach and restaurants! It even came with puzzles, which my family loved.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sugar Plum Beach West, Megan! Being close to the beach and restaurants really makes it easy to enjoy the island. And we love that the puzzles were a hit with your family, those little extras can make for some fun downtime together. Thanks for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime with Anna Maria Vacations!

Aside from the wonderful location, and steps to a breathtaking beach, I hate to say we experienced a very disappointing stay with this accommodation. It’s hard to encapsulate everything in this short synopsis but i will try. To be clear, the management company did all they could , they were responsive, empathetic, and professional. We have used Prime Vacations @ Anna Maria before and have always been great. However, the house and the owner of the house are terrible. I will not return there. The AC is broken (management brought temporary portable Ac for us asap which was nice of them) but the units are super loud and wont cool the entire house 100%, there was a bad smell coming from somewhere in the master bath, we had to keep that door shut. And be aware, this is not a single-family home. This is a shared duplex and you will share the pool. On our second day, a local neighbor told us he has seen already 3 or 4 times AC repair guys show up for this house in the last month or so. If this is true then it’s a known issue and not a surprise failure. This should have been replaced as the ac is toast. Time for a new one! To the owner of this house, invest in a new unit. To be honest, you owe me a refund for this.Sincerely Carlos

A lovely stay in paradise

Had an amazing stay at the Sugar Plum Beach West. Check-in was a smooth process. Location was perfect being literally a block away from the beach entrance. Pool was great to wind down after a beach day or wake up to in the morning. They provided us with a concierge person that was very responsive especially for inquiries on rentals including beach gear + baby crib. They even gave us a heads up about a Christmas Parade that would've affected our travel back had we not been made aware. Only a couple issues I noticed were that one of the doors that leads to the pool had significant glass damage on the outside. Didn't really affect anything from a physical perspective but it was unsightly. Also the main bathroom's shower/bath diverter valve wasn't working. Other than that, the property was perfect for our family.

No locking doors, broken floor, broken glass

Upon arrival we quickly realized that the exterior doors did not lock. There was a shattered glass door and an obnoxious aftermarket door alarm that could not be turned off when simply opening/closing the door. We had to wait until the following day for someone to come and lock the doors and add an alarm. The property has a pool, so with young children this was incredibly unsafe!

Wonderful property

Perfect location for 4 adults. Close to beach, restaurants and activities. Everything we needed. Beautiful pool and property. Loved Anna Maria. We will definitely be back and would stay at this property again **Only complaint was the dryer doesn't work well even just for swim suits and towels.

Disappointed

ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTING This rental was not worth the money, I would be ashamed if I was your company to let people stay at this rental. I had so many issue with the rental I don’t even know we’re to start. I will not be using your company again and I will definitely tell all friends and family to stay away from renting from your company.

Lovely unit on quiet street

Very lovely property on quiet street and easy beach access. Location is fantastic! We did enjoy the pool and patio area as well. Ensuite Beth in one of the bedrooms is a bit tight and The avant garde style glass sink and faucet are awkward ( and too big)in the small space. Loved the purple tiled shower, but used the larger bathroom to get ready as better set up with counter space and sinks. Overall, we would stay again! Great space overall and location cannot be beat.
