Thanks for your great review! I'm very happy you noticed that we provide everything needed and more! Our goal is for all our guests to return again and again. When guests return its the best compliment of all! I'm delighted we achieved our goal with your family. We hope to see you again next Winter!
Everything about it was as advertised and we loved it. The only improvements would be better furniture (more comfortable)
and since we prepared all meals there, more cutlery and kitchen ware, and some stemware.

Excellent Location.
The property is well appointed with everything you need. It also includes beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is flat out beautiful and it’s literally across from the property. This location is perfect if you don’t want to move your car during your stay and just walk to shops and restaurants or you can simply do short road trips towards the other surrounding beaches and restaurants.

Thanks for your excellent review. Glad you enjoyed all our amenities and most sought after location. Come back again soon!
This was my 2nd stay here and it was great both times. The location is perfect and the amenities are abundant. No need to pack towels or beach bags. Chairs,umbrellas,toys,floats,etc are all provided. Also lots of kitchen necessities were already there. Communication with owners was fast and easy.

Thanks for your great review and repeat patronage! I appreciate your mentioning location is perfect and the amenities are abundant! We look forward to having you back for your third stay!
Me, my husband, my sister and her fiancé stayed for a week. My husband and I go on trips several times a year and have stayed in many places. This place had everything we needed plus more. It was decorated very tasteful and the beds where comfortable. The beach was right across the street. The courtyard was tropical and very cozy. We loved everything about this place. We definitely will come back and bring our friends.

Thanks for your great review and especially for making our place your new home away from home!
Nice place to stay. Just steps away from the bow to the right where you can watch the sunrise on the pier on a bench. And just steps away from the beautiful ocean to the left. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. If you need the trolly it’s right at the end of street which a lot of ppl use. Place was clean with everything need to cook and a washer and dryer outback. Easy communication with host and booking was smooth. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay again !
Stayed a week. Place is amazing. Great place to stay and could not ask for a better location to beach and down town. Walked everywhere. Already looking at booking for next year with a larger family group. I only gave 3 stars for check in, but that may have been our issue not clarifying before we arrived on how to check in. Not a negative thing about the place.

We had a great time. The location was great and close to the beach. The beach equipment were awesome. My kids loved the beach toys and the beach chair was great!
Only downside was the bathroom. As the only bathroom it was not the best. The renovations to the roof didn't bother me…it just was generally small and dated. The laundry was also never free. Overall it worked for a small vacation.
Great location on a quiet road, just a minute from the beach and 5 minute walk to the restaurants in Bradenton Beach. Parking spot was right there, although we didn't use the car much as the trolley stop was at the end of the street. The apartment was small, but very clean and had plenty of both beach and bath towels and everything we needed. The outdoor space was lovely with bbqs and seating in the courtyard. There were beach chairs etc we could borrow to use at the beach. The owner was always helpful and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

The perfect vacation spot
Our family spent a week at this location, and it was wonderful. The home was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. Our teenagers enjoyed the rec room, and all of the provided games. We appreciated having several different options for outdoor space--the sitting areas on the front porch, the shaded side yard, and the screened-in back patio. The location of the property is excellent. Just a few steps to the beach with all of the provided beach gear, and lots a great restaurants also within walking distance. Anna Maria Island is the kind of place where you can be as busy or as quiet as you want to be. Mark checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going well; it is reassuring to know that if we had any issue, Mark would be available to help. We look forward to returning to this awesome vacation spot!

Owner called one week before our arrival date to cancel. Her explanation was that her furniture wasn't being delivered on time. She also said the property was damaged by last year's hurricane and it took longer than expected to repair. She had no explanation as to why she had the property listed when it wasn't ready for occupancy. She did issue a full refund but we still ended up paying more the another property and needed to pay for additional cancelation insurance.
This place was lovely. Very clean and offered a complete turn key experience. Beach chairs, umbrellas, a cart to help you take it to the beach which was only a few blocks away. Clean towels and fully equipped.
The only thing that was bad was all the construction that was going on right next door.
They started at 7 Am with all the banging and didn’t stop until 6 pm.
I know this has nothing to do with the resort or the management.
It was just hard to fully relax the week I was there.
Hopefully that won’t be the case for others.

Loved the island retreat
Greatly enjoyed our stay in this two-bedroom home with many amenities. We had our own private lanai where we would enjoy the evenings with a glass of wine and a few card games! The kitchen has been newly renovated, and is huge! The owners have provided everything you could ever imagine needing, from a blender, to a crock-pot, to vanilla extract. What a pleasant surprise! We made one trip to the supermarket and stocked up for the entire trip—putting the groceries in the stainless steal refrigerator/freezer. The king beds were more comfortable than my bed back home. There were TVs in every room, including a 50’’ in the living room, which was perfect for watching movies in the evenings. The house is situated in a nice courtyard, no more than a minute walk to the bay/dock and beautiful white sand beach on either side.
Loved the island, the beach, the location, the home- 10/10 would return!

Thanks for your very nice review. It's great that you have already booked your next vacation with us in the same beautiful unit. You are now part of the over 50% of our guests who return. Glad you liked all our private lanai nestled under the palms and premium amenities including; the premium and very comfortable King bed and two equally comfortable twin beds. Thank you for noting the super sized quality items like, 50" Widescreen with DVD and massive stainless refrig/freezer. Also appreciate your mention of our no expense spared deluxe kitchen which now features premium granite counters, solid maple cabinets and premium appliances. Look forward to seeing you again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We liked making coffee in the mornings, walking down to the fishing pier, and sitting down to watch the quiet waters. We saw plenty of fish and birds, but topped things off when we saw two manatee swimming right in front of the pier. We enjoyed our afternoons and evenings sitting and walking on the beach; we made sure to watch the beautiful sunsets every night. We even caught a glimpse of a pod of dolphins swimming together. Everything we needed was within walking distance. Plenty of restaurants on or near Bridge Street. We particularly liked going to Tintos for their authentic Colombian empanadas. We also liked getting iced coffees from Back Alley Treasures. Also, no need to rent a car to check out the other areas of the island. We used the free AMI Trolley quite often to explore the Anna Maria and Holmes Beach areas. It was very easy to use the trolley and figure out which stops worked best for the things we wanted to see and do. There is a trolley pickup and drop off right down the street from the property. We would absolutely recommend staying at this property for anyone looking to vacation on Anna Maria Island.

Thanks for your super review!! I appreciate you mentioning our most sought after location just steps from the beach, our dock on the bay, and easy walk to all the best restaurants and activities! That's awesome that you saw the endangered Manatees as well as dolphins up close from our fishing dock. Thanks for highly recommending our property! I look forward to having you back as our guests!
Upon arrival we had asked for early check in But understood if it could not occur. We had to continue to contact the property manager about our unit. At regular check in time we had to ask about checking in. We were told
Our unit should be ready and we could park in parking space 4. I again had to reach out to verify unit number. As we had not received any up date or a code to get in to the unit. After finally receiving this, our unit was still dirty. I called the property manager and she was very apologetic and called her cleaning person who came over immediately. Our unit was ready in an hour. The last hiccup was the cleaning person picked up our key fob thinking it was the people who had checked out. Again, I called the property manager and Chris was able
To Solve the problem quickly! I really appreciated Chris’s sincerity about our unit issues and how fast she was able to solve the issues. I will hang on to this listing and stay here again!

Came for a week to chase Tarpon, super familiar with the area. This little cottage was cute! It's part of a small complex with a neat common area in the center. Parking is sparse, but it is everywhere on the island, and we are used to that. Had one small issue with plumbing but Chris the new owner was on it so fast it wasn't an issue at all. Located just close enough to Bridge Street and the surrounding restaurants that you can easily walk, but just far enough away that you can't hear the noise. Can throw a baseball and it'll land on the beach. Perfect little place for the money. Chris was attentive and super nice!
