The house & pool area were perfect for our group of 8. The house has everything you need for a trip to the beach. By far our favorite rental on the island.
Everything we needed. Very well laid out floor plan, pool and spa area private and very functional. Location fantastic, close to everything we needed. Walking distance to beach. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Close to restaurants and shopping. Check in easy and owner Joe was very helpful and quick to respond if we had a question.
This house is wonderful, so much room and has everything you need. The pool is absolutely amazing, spent a lot of time there. The beach is about a 5-7 minute walk and was never very crowded. Would stay here again
A group of friends and I stayed at Casa Laguna for the week and it was perfect. The house was more than big enough for the 6 of us and was accommodate us all perfectly. We loved every part of this property and would definitely recommend staying here. We spend most of our days out by the pool. The pool itself was worth rebooking this house! Definitely the highlight of the property.
We loved our stay here! It was a convenient house close to the trolley stop and the beach. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to staying there again.
Great weather, nice property though we weren’t there most of the time, lived on the beach. The pool was great at night and the location is central to the island shops and restaurants.
Beautiful home, tons of space, good size bedrooms, home was very well equipped with everything you could have needed. Pool and hot tub were perfect. Plenty of seating outside. We’d definitely stay again.

Thanks you guys! Sorry your vacation had to end. I too miss that lil' place in paradise
Excellent overall experience. Very appreciative that the owners worked hard to get the property ready following the 2 gulf hurricanes. The updates to the property were great and worked perfectly for our family. Great location within a short walk to the beach. Very well stocked kitchen amenities. Solid communications throughout with the owners. Highly recommend.
Every thing was as stated in vrbo. Great pool area and outdoor space. House has plenty of room for a big family.
Great location with a shuttle bus stop next to property.
Golf cart was great.The family had plenty of room to sleep and enjoy our vacation. I would rent this place again in a heart beat. Thanks for a great family vacation to the oweners.

Wonderful retreat
We had such a wonderful time at this house. It is actually much bigger in the common areas than the pictures show. We were originally planning to go to the beach more but we ended up laying by the fabulous pool for most of the trip! Great location, great house, we will try to return!

Hey Laura, thats great! The same thing happens to us. The pool is very inviting and super easy. We are very happy to tead you all had a wonderful time. Come back anytime. Thanks!
We absolutely loved our time on the island and at Casa Laguna. It was our 2nd time to rent the home and were so glad we went back. The house has lots of space and included every amenity you could possibly need while on vacation. The outdoor area with pool, hot tub, grill, etc., was fantastic. We had a quick 3 block walk to the beach and they had all the chairs, towels and toys we needed. Would highly recommend Casa Laguna!

Thank you, and thank you again. Nice to hear the you think the outside was fantastic. We put a lot of thought into the outside space.
The turf and tiki are our most recent additions. We could never get grass to grow well in that front area.
Please come back again.
Absolutely the perfect house and location- right in between Bradenton and Anna Maria- a very quiet enclave. The house was fully equipped with everything you would find in your own house. Beds, bedding, and towels were all good quality. No need to even use your car unless you are going off the island. We rented a golf cart and brought our e-bikes. There are also four other bikes which family used when they came to visit. The house is less than three blocks to the beach and we definitely enjoyed it!Can't wait to return to AMI!
House was in a nice central location with three block walk to the beach. Bedroom layout allowed for lots of privacy for each person/couple. Didn't have young children, but the house had plenty of equipment and items for younger children. The pool and hot tub and private outdoor space was the bomb!

Absolutely amazing!
Amazing casa. Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of room for us all. Beautiful and comfortable house, inside and out. Awesome pool & outdoor area. Trolley stop just steps out the front door. Golf cart was a nice perk to hop in & travel a few blocks to the beach.

Hello David Hanson,
Glad you guys had a blast! It was so hard to leave the home the day after Christmas but we couldn't have wished for a better crew.
Thanks for the great review & keep in touch.
The property was perfect for our family! The property was well-maintained and as described. The home had plenty to do without leaving the premises! Corn hole, tiki bar, swim up bar, hot tub and outdoor living area made this it’s very own resort. The shuttle runs in front of the home and will take you around the island with ease. Beautiful spot happy that we got to discover Ana Maria Island.

About the host
Hosted by Joseph Darby
We moved to Anna Maria in 2011 because we fell in love with the beautiful island. My sister and her family of 6 moved here in 2008, and we vacationed here so often to visit with them that we just decided to make the move. Unfortunately for us we had to move back to Ohio for my wife to finish her degree and for my business (for now).
Why they chose this property
The pool/ hot tub is truly one of the best on the island! New synchronized LED color changing lights (3 in all). Color options of your choice. The electric golf cart is great, stops on a dime, and tops out at 19 MPH. The house is a fun & unique mix of new/ modern and origina/ rehabbed. There is a real island feel to the place, and it is very welcoming. We love our home and hope you will as well... the place is better in person. A free island trolley stop is very convenient to the home. If you seek it privacy is great at this this home.
What makes this property unique
Outdoor and Interior updates with construction completed late August 2013! Pool with Spa, including fun water features and spectacular lighting. Golf Cart is included, and is allowed on certain streets of the island, and provides easy access to the beach. Our home is only three short blocks to the beach, but you may never want to leave the private pool. There is a great design and flow to the home. Very nice linens (450+ thread count) are provided. Each week 14 clean white towels and washcloths are provided. 10+ Beach towels, 4+ beach chairs, and beach umbrellas are there for your group as well. All the amenities are there for you to feel right at home. The spacious patio has plenty of outdoor seating and includes a gas grill. Three sun loungers sit about the pool and a there is a hammock chair for fun.
