Becautiful stay

Had a family trip with ages ranging from 60 down to 1 year old! Location is perfect! Many places to walk to for food, drinks and beach! Pool was nice, the outdoor bar area had ceiling fans for evening games and the outdoor shower was nice to have after beach days. We did get bitten by some apparent No see ums even with bug spray they seemed to go for the lower unit guests (maybe we are just sweeter)Beautiful very loud green parrots visited daily we also got some visits from the small lizards, grandson loved them! Towels provided and linens were a nice touch when traveling by plane. We reserved beach items from once upon a beach and they were utilized every day. A memorable vacation with lifetime memories!

Great experience and perfect for our family!

We had an amazing time on Anna Maria Island staying at Family Tides! The property is in a perfect location, right next to Bridge Street, a 3 minute walk to the beach and even a short walk to parasailing. This is both convenient and saves on expensive parking. The kitchen's are well supplied which made it very easy for meal planning with a large family. All appliances were modern and in good shape. The pool was clean and perfect for swimming day or night and a great for switch-up from enjoying the ocean. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay on Anna Maria Island!

Great Location

Such a beautiful vacation rental! The spacious layout makes it easy for groups to stay and feel like you have your own space but cozy enough to feel like home for the week with all of the essentials. Even if the easy 5 minute walk to the beach isn't your thing, you always have the 3 min walk to Bridge Street with all the shops and restaurants. The backyard with pool was perfect for a relaxing dip after a hot day at the beach. The island itself is beautiful and offers so much as well with plenty of places walking distance and an easy free trolley ride to explore more. We had an amazing time enjoying the house and island with family and friends and cannot wait to come back!

Beautiful Home!

The home is lovely and perfect for a family or large group. We were a group of nine girls and each of us had plenty of space between the two units. My favorite part is that it was across the street from the beach access and one street over from a convenience store, shops, restaurants, bars and even a putt putt golf course. We walked everywhere on the island and the only time we used our cars was to go to Publix. The rooftop deck provides an awesome view of the sunrise and sunset or you can watch the sunset on the beach and the sunrise on the pier at the end of the street. The pool and the outdoor space was awesome and the host has tons of beach equipment for you to use (chairs, wagons, umbrellas and sand toys). Everyone in our group loved the house and if we ever go back, we would book this home again.

Awesome Multi-generational Family Vacation Home

The listing on VRBO was extremely thorough and accurate. The property was perfect for 11 adults and two toddlers (ages 4-92). The pool area was ideal for family dinners (grills, refrigerators, bars, tables and TVs). The roof top deck with Adirondack chairs was perfect for watching the sunrises and sunsets. The location was awesome - close to the beach, Bridge Street shops, restaurants and bars. The host was very responsive to our questions and inquiries prior to arrival and during our stay. We had the best time!
