Christine was very responsive to questions. The location was perfect, being right across the street from the beach and a short walk to Bridge Street.The accommodations were very nice - clean, comfortable, and decorated very cute! The shared pool area was a good place to relax even though the weather did not permit us to use the pool.We would definitely stay here again.

I’m thrilled you enjoyed the location and found the condo clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, I’m glad you were still able to relax and enjoy your stay.
We’d love to host you again anytime!
Property was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay, including beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys for kids. Host was very responsive to questions. Location of the property to the beach cannot be beat for the price. Pool was clean and a great perk. Would 100% recommend this property.

This has everything you need-comfortable beds, full kitchen, nice pool, and easy access to the beach — thank you Jill for your hospitality! Looking forward to next trip there!
My wife and I’ve been out to Anna Maria Island many times and we were down here to celebrate our anniversary. We were looking for a nice quiet cozy place to say that was close to the beach. This place hit the mark. Very clean, quiet and it was only 1/2 block to the beach. Also has a pool you could use after you’ve been at the beach. Very affordable compared to all the other places we looked at. It was great.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Hoag
The things I enjoy most are the simple pleasures of life. I enjoy time spent with family, taking long walks on the beach and feeling the sand between my toes. I love my little best friend and companion, aka my dog Teddy!
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Anna Maria Island about 4 years ago when I first discovered it. Anna Maria Island is a slice of paradise tucked away on Florida's Gulf Coast. It has a charming, laid-back atmosphere that is right up my alley. I love the powdery white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets. I love the old-Florida charm, that has been maintained despite the urge by many to develop. Instead, I enjoy the quaint shops, local eateries serving fresh seafood, and a warm, welcoming community vibe.
What makes this property unique
I think the property is unique in that every moment on Anna Maria Island feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, embrace simplicity, and truly enjoy life’s little pleasures.
