Great house!

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: This rental property was perfect! The location was fantastic - a very easy walk to the beach, and close to many shops and restaurants. We did not rent a golf cart this time, but that is another easy option to get around. The house itself was immaculate and updated. I loved having a huge washer and dryer to do laundry before coming home. The pool was great too - a nice temperature and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. I appreciated all the bath towels and pool towels that were provided. No complaints! We will definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay in Anna Maria. This house has a great location- it’s just a short walk to the beach! We also really liked relaxing in the backyard/pool. I was surprised that there was an additional fee for paying by credit card. It’s stated in the rental agreement, but I didn’t read it closely enough. Overall, everything was great!

AMI Cottage

Adorable cottage in central Anna Maria location…2 blocks from the beach, 3 blocks to Pine Ave shopping district and 4 blocks to City Pier! Home has fully appointed kitchen, backyard pool and all the beach gear you need! The hubs and I and 2 of our adult children enjoyed our vacation immensely! Only thing I would update are the beds :/

The property was very nice one this that i would add is on the back doors having the alarms. We have stayed at another house that had the same systems, and they had a button on the outside also you could hit. This silences the alarms when anyone is in the house asleep. The way it is set up you have to open the door and then immediately hit the button.

Great stay!!

We had a great time! Everything was back up and running post hurricane. We did need an umbrella for the back yard/pool, and found a beach one. I’m assuming they just haven’t gotten around to getting a permanent one for the back. My only other complaint was someone opened the door to drop a fire extinguisher off without letting us know they were coming, so it scared my son. A heads up would have been great, or just placed on the porch. Otherwise, everything was fantastic. Thank you!

Hello Sara, We appreciate you being our guest in the newly remodeled Coastal Cottage. Our team certainly did not mean to alarm your son, please except our apologies. On the fire extinguisher notice, we noted that it would be returned the next day, when no one came to the door upon returning it, we set it right inside the door and did not run across anyone. Kindly, FDR Team

Good Location

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental is in a great location (walking distance to numerous restaurants) and was very clean inside the house. The furnishings were great (beds were comfortable). The pool was dirty and really unusable.Overall, the house is an older home updated with small bed rooms and bathrooms. While the home was clean it was a real downer the the pool was dirty.When you look at the overall cost (rental, cleaning, property management)...Not worth the price!

Girls Trip

This was a great house for a couple of ladies. GREAT location, clean, well stocked and enough room to spread out. Pool was a great size and plenty of room to spread out on patio furniture too. Overall a great house. It does need some maintenance. One toilet leaked all over the bathroom making it unusable and the other one the toilet seat wasn’t attached. The lights in the pool didn’t work and the china cabinet piece of furniture’s door fell off when opened and smash my toe. Just small maintenance items would make this house a 5/5.

Great stay

The house and location was great. It is not luxurious but for the price it was very comfortable. The house could use some minor improvements/repairs. This is our 4th visit to Anna Maria and we have stayed at a different location every time. I would stay here again. My 2 only complaints are: 1. The 2 living room chairs were very uncomfortable and were noisy when you moved while sitting in them. 2. We found a few dirty dishes, which made me question how clean they all were. But the kitchen was well equipped for us to cook breakfast every morning and a few dinners. These were minor inconveniences that are easy to overlook and still enjoy our stay.
