The home was very clean when we arrived. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a beach wagon, chairs and umbrellas. We had a wonderful time and would stay again.

Camille, SeaBreeze Vacation loves that you had a great time at your property! Being close to the beach and having an outside shower are definitely an added bonuses. Be sure to contact SeaBreeze Vacation for your next AMI stay.

Immaculate property!
Our place was clean and contained everything that we needed for a pleasant stay. If the owner of Rum Dog would subscribe to basic cable TV however, that would be our only suggestion for improvement. See you next year!

Excellent Stay!
The property's charm and cozy atmosphere were exceptional. To enhance the guest experience, we suggest considering the addition of a small pool or jacuzzi, ideal for relaxation after a day at the beach. The location is excellent. We will definitely return even without a pool.

Adorable!
Adorable! Perfect lounge, kitchen, baths, bedrooms and outdoor space! AND walking distance barefoot to sunsets on the beach! Loved it all!
It was beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. There was a cute deck with lighting and a nice table to entertain guests outside. Very private. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The location was awesome, just one block from the ocean and beautiful sunsets.

Great location in AMI!
Sometimes when you rent a property, it really doesn't quite look the same as the pictures. Rum Dog was spot on! It was nice to stay a week in a clean, well maintained property just a short walk to a beautiful beach!

Excellent Stay!
This was our first time at AMI and we have already begun planning our next visit! The wonderful rental was icing on the cake. Everything you need for your vacation is there! The home was super clean upon arrival, the beds were comfy, and the A/C was cold! What more do you need? Sea Breeze was great to work with and promptly answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Sea Breeze and the Rum Dog property to anyone visiting AMI!
We loved our stay at Rum Dog! It was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and close to Holmes beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals. The beds were comfortable. The showers were nice. There were plenty of towels and blankets. We loved sitting outside to eat all of our meals. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Rum Dog was the perfect size for our family of three. We look forward to staying here again.

Excellent Stay!
Rum Dog is an excellent location from the beach and a trolley stop. (Just across the street) The accommodations were great! The only thing I would add is a window covering for the kitchen door for privacy as it gives view into living room which has a pull out bed. I made the suggestion to SeaBreeze. The bedrooms are great sizes along with the bathrooms. The outdoor shower is great and there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys and a wagon to carry all of them in! The place was clean and there were 3 doors to get in and out of the property and plenty of parking. I have not been disappointed with staying at any of SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals. Looking forward to my next vacation.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov, 2025
Jennifer, SeaBreeze Vacation appreciates your feedback. We will definitely pass the window covering for the kitchen door to the owner. So glad you had a fabulous time. Happy you took advantage of all the amenities the property offers. Be sure to contact us when planning your next stay - we look forward to seeing you again!
Liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus in Strandnähe!
Wir haben uns im Rum Dog extrem wohl gefühlt. Das Objekt ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und auch sehr gut ausgetsattet, incl. vieler Strandutensilien! Das einzige was und gefällt hat, waren bequeme Sitzmöglichkeiten für draussen für mehr als 2 Personen (z.B. Lounge Möbel)!
Rum Dog was welcoming and clean, and surprisingly larger than the pictures show. It is stocked with any appliance or dish you would need. The patio made the perfect place to enjoy dinner outside, and the clean outdoor shower is the perfect way to finish your day at the beach (only a short walk away). I would definitely stay again.
I wanted a house without a pool but super close to the beach, this hit all the marks. Super short walk to the beach, very comfortable & cute home. Our week went by too quickly.

Absolutely charming!
This GEM located directly across the street from the beach is absolutely charming! The clean décor makes this space comfortable and unpretentious yet the perfect cozy getaway not to mention spotless! Amply supplied with all of your cooking and beach accessories. Includes beautiful al fresco dining with a gas grill perfect for a family cookout. Location is close to excellent restaurants and public transportation. We will definitely be back time and time again! If you love AMI you will love Rum Dog just as much!

About the host
Hosted by Seabreeze Vacation
What started out as a vacation for our family expanded to thousands of vacations for many families. Just a year after visiting Anna Maria Island for the first time, we bought our first vacation rental here in 2002. She kept reeling us in 6 times a year, and we moved here for good in 2011. How could we not leave the rainy days in the UK for the sunny skies on Anna Maria Island? We founded SeaBreeze Vacation with the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy a slice of paradise. Our commitment to hospitality and treating others like family led us to running 80 properties today while our dedicated staff maintains a high attention to detail. We're always working to provide the best vacation experience for guests and the highest level of care and return for our property owners.
The SeaBreeze Vacation Difference. Unlike other vacation rental companies, we're here for you with the entire staff at SeaBreeze Vacation living here locally. Our guest services and round-the-clock maintenance readily respond to your questions and needs. Want to know how to get to secret beach spots or the best places to dine with your dog? We've got your back! Every stay includes freshly laundered, hypoallergenic linens ready to use upon arrival thanks to our in-house professional linen service. We only partner with the best companies to ensure high-quality experiences from inspections to cleaning. Our office and warehouse facility are located in the heart of Anna Maria Island on Holmes Beach to better serve both guests and owners.
Five-Star Vacation Rental Experiences. From beachfront condos and bungalows to cottages and large homes, we have just the vacation rental for you and your loved ones — with available accommodations for pets and boats! SeaBreeze Vacation rentals welcome guests with many modern amenities, such as fully equipped kitchens for easier cooking and endless fun with entertainment options. Vacation rentals with private pools, game rooms, hot tubs, on-site bars, and rooftop terraces are the added cherries on top! You'll feel like a local when you're just steps to the soft Anna Maria Island beaches but enjoy the convenience as a guest while we take care of any hassles. Book direct with confidence — guaranteed best rates and no hidden booking or admin fees!*
Stress-Free Supplementary Services. We happily handle the fussy matters to ensure the whole family spends more time enjoying a relaxing vacation. With our grocery pre-stocking services, you come to a home ready with refreshments after your travels. Need a crib, high chair, or pack n' play and would like to save luggage space? We provide them at an additional fee and will have them clean and waiting for you and your little one upon arrival. If you'd like to enjoy an evening with your honey, we have licensed babysitting services available on speed dial. As a fun way to access any area on Anna Maria Island, our golf cart rentals make for a real crowd pleaser! If you're in need of anything special, give us a call! We'll do our best to provide you anything and everything you may need.
