Spacious, clean, comfortable and lovely with everything we needed! And the view - oh my word it was spectacular!!! The beach was right there and almost private compared to the public areas nearby. We loved every minute of our stay!

Property location was great. Easy access to beach. Property was clean and well maintained. No issues. Sunset views were worth the cost alone. Very quiet location but close to everything on Anna Maria.

The condo was good. Definitely needs some updates, lots of light switches dont work, a little loud with the bedrooms in the front, but what makes up for it is the amazing location, you really cant ask for a better location. Amazing sunsets, very private area on the beach, great location to easily get to lots of places. 25 steps to get in, but with that view and location who’s counting.
