We had a wonderful stay at Fins to the left. The location couldn’t be better and in fact the pictures of the view don’t do it justice! The peaceful serene beach front was more than we could have imagined. The property is well appointed and met our every need. The location was perfect with easy access to the north and south part of the island. What an amazing place. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time it was everything as described. It is just the kind of place we like where you can just walk out and you are on the beach! Everything was very clean and looked new, It was decorated beautifully very beachy vibe. Anything you would need is there. The beach was not crowded either a good time of year to come. We will definitely be coming back again just loved it,

My family and I had a fantastic week at Fins To The Left. We arrived to a clean home that was right on the beach. Every person that we interacted with at Anna Maria Life Vacations was so friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the best week at Anna Maria Island and “Fins to the left “ was the best location. You can’t get a better view than staying here. We walked right out to our setup each morning. It came fully stocked with all the basics you may need, plus beach chairs. It even has a grill outside, for cooking in. It truly was the best stay! You can’t go wrong with this stay and location. Super convenient to all shopping and restaurants, as well.

Great place. Perfect location and a brand new remodel. Kitchen is well equipped - didn't feel corporate - some thought was put into this place. Perfect location at South end of Holmes Beach. Step out of the screened in patio and you are right there.

If you are looking for an exceptionally clean property with beach front views and minimal steps to the gulf, look no further. This lovely home is perfect. It is newly updated and cozy, the king size bed in the spacious bedroom is comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked without excess and the main living space is open and roomy. It is a great location for easy access either direction of the island you choose to go. Communication with the owner/management was flawless. Highly recommend Fins to the Left or the Right to anyone that is coming to Anna Maria Island. We have decided that this will be our go to place when we return.
