There's something special about arriving at a home that looks just like the photos and immediately feeling at ease, Susana. We're so glad Lobster Key by Anna Maria Vacations felt like home during your stay. The peaceful neighborhood and a spotless, welcoming space are exactly what we hope every guest experiences. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing island getaway!
Host was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed. With not having a screen around the pool, there should be more than weekly maintenance. Or at least a functional skimmer. It was completely ripped and did not work so we were swimming with tree droppings the majority of the time since maintenance was on our 2nd day. Overall a very nice place.
The house was not as expected. The neighborhood was scary with boarded up houses. Pictures of the neighborhood attached. You must go up a long flight of stairs to get to the living area. We were unaware of everything being on the second level when booking and that would not work for our group. The rental company was very understanding and kindly relocated us to another property.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Lobster Key, Alex! It’s great to hear the home had everything you needed for a comfortable and easy getaway. Thanks for staying with us and our Anna Maria Vacations team would love to welcome you back anytime for another laid-back island stay!
Thank you for your review, Jon. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the wonderful property and beaches during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!!

Great host, clean place, loved the location. The only notable issues were the door alarm and the time it took the hot tub to heat up. The were a learning curve, but the host was responsive and explained everything to us. Would definitely stay at this place again! Five stars. Thank you for having us!

Just close enough, and also far enough away from the hustle of the island. Easy to get to via bikes and awesome place to stay if you enjoy fishing. House was perfect for us.
