Our host went out of his way to make our stay extra special. The view and location can’t be beat. We can’t wait to return! The only caveat I’d give is that the first few nights we got very loud, late night neighbors next door which was hopefully an isolated incident. The rest of our stay the neighbors were super nice!

We had a wonderful week. Over the years we have stayed in Bradenton Beach and Holmes Beach this was the first time staying in the town of Anna Maria and it is without a doubt our favorite location we have stayed. Very walkable, beautiful view, comfortable beds. House is exactly as described. Host is responsive and helpful. I hope we can get this same property for our trip next year. Thank you.

The layout of the house was great and plenty of room. There is also a wide front deck to view the beautiful Tampa ay area (especially during sunrise). Steve was an excellent host and every accommodating. Plenty of local shops and restaurant to choose from near the house. Publix is about 2 to 3 miles from the house. Will come back again in the near future.

We came and stayed a week, which was perfect! Would love to have stayed longer! The place is bigger than the pictures show and very clean and accommodating. The location is perfect with the beach directly across the road. Anna Marie island as a whole is very easy to navigate and has great restaurants and amazing beaches!

Fantastic sunrises. Walk to restaurants and Pine Street. Pine street everything to tent and shoppin

The price was reasonable and we enjoyed the sunrise and beach. It was really nice in the afternoon as the 2nd floor porch is well protected from the sun and the views are spectacular. Lots of shade on the porch. And we could walk or ride to the Sunsets. The Gulf was about a 15 minute walk.

Great spot!

Our time at this location was just perfect. We didn’t realize just how much we would enjoy the bay side of the island until we had been there a couple of days. Stephen was great to work with when we had a door lock issue. He was prompt and resolved the issue. I would highly recommend this to all who visit the beautiful Anna Maria Island.

Perfect location

This was our first family trip and this was the perfect house for us. We have a 1 and 3 year old who still nap and being right across from the beach was a Godsend. We were able to walk to the shops and piers with ease. Would highly recommend for a young family. Host was very easy and pleasant to communicate with.

Nice place, with a great view. Very comfortable for the 4 of us. Plenty of beach gear, towels etc.The AC was a little uneven throughout the house. Kitchen and dinning were very comfortable, but large bedroom never cooled down to a comfortable temperature.The beach across from us was very nice. The porta potties did take away from the view.

Hi Paul We're glad you enjoyed Anna Maria. You certainly called it on the AC. The unit was out when the new tenants arrived, so fortunately the main unit has been replaced. 98 degree weather is not unusual in August. Since Hurricane Helene and Milton, Manatee County has found the need to use porta potties at the Park. We will use your letter as a plea once again. We hope you return to Anna Maria!

Best Spot!

This spot is awesome! Across the street is a great park with beach access! The swimming here was great, warm water and very shallow for playing in the water. I launched my SUP everyday for a morning or evening paddle. From the deck you can watch the sunrise over the bay, beautiful. A short walk in one direction and you are at the shops and ice cream and a short walk I the other direction and you are at Bean Point with the most amazing powder soft sand! (And beautiful sunsets!) The house is great, everything we needed to cook delicious meals and enjoy them in the spacious dinning room. Beds were all very comfortable, entire house was spotless when we arrived! Wish we could of stayed longer!

Overall nice stay with perfect location

The location is perfect. So close to the beach. I was disappointed there wasn’t powder soft sand across the street but the calm water that I was able to float in was amazing and perfect for my kids. I didn’t have to stress about waves knocking them down. The house was clean and had everything we needed. My only complaint is the AC. The temperature was in the high 80s the week we stayed and the temp inside still rose to 83 each day. The dining room temp was excruciating and we were never able to eat dinner in there as a family which was also disappointing. If it wasn’t for the air not cooling the house well we would stay here again.
