Perfect for a small family

We stayed in unit 4 (not Oceanview). The walk around to the beach was like getting a surprise each morning. Our 11 & 9 yr old slept on the pull out sofa bed. The unit was very clean with what felt like all new furniture. The beach was not crowded at all, I guess due to its position between access points. This was our first visit to Anna Maria and it left a great impression.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Holmes Beach cottage for a week earlier this summer. We had an amazing experience. It was out of a Hollywood movie set.

We loved everything about the area, and we will be going back to Holmes Beach and the beach cottage for sure!

Lovely condo on Anna Maria Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely 1 BR condo in one story 4 unit building on beach. 2 units in back of building back to beach. Ours was in the front, but all you have to do is walk around the back and the beach is right there. Very convenient for beach walking and sunset watching. Beautifully furnished - we loved having two couches! Also, within walking distance of grocery store, Walgreen's, bagel shop, trolley stop. On site laundry a plus.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the best things to experience in life for me is being in the ocean waters with the sun shining and a chair and umbrella on the beach. And this little place provides me with that and more in the very best location. The unit gives me easy access to everything I could possibly need or want. The customer service of the people at Island Vacations is top notch! The cleanliness of the unit is excellent. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for more.

Perfect location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location! Walk out the door to the we beach. Free trolley stops a block away. Everything we needed right there, including beach chairs, towels, kitchen equipment. Perfect for two people, might be a little small for 4. Bed was comfy, sofas were comfy. We decided not to rent a took us a day or two to learn the trolley ins and outs. Next time I will have the bulk of our groceries delivered and use the trolley to pick up extras.
