The home was beautiful. The beds were comfortable. We loved the pool. Our dog loved the backyard and the neighborhood gave us plenty of options for walks. Close enough to the beach to be convenient and far enough away to be quiet. We even had a box turtle visit us a couple of times! We grilled,we swam in the pool, we fished down the street, we went shelling on the beach, and visited all the local thrift stores. The perfect week! It only rained when we were packing to leave. PS... the garage floor does get wet when it rains so don't put anything on the floor that can't get wet. We will be back!

Amazing pool and backyard, cute “beachy” house

Loved our stay at this property. Perfect for our family of 4, with plenty of extra room. The pool and back yard felt like a tropical oasis. The house had everything we needed for our stay. It was perfect!

Great Place on the Island

We had a great time at this property. We travelled with our 1.5 year old daughter. The pool was perfect for her as there was an area she could walk around. We rented a golf cart and could access everything on the island.

Absolutely perfect.

We loved our stay here in Anna Maria. The house was the perfect size and decorated so nicely. The 3 beds in the side room were perfect for our kids. The location of this house is perfect for beach side and bay side adventures. We are already dreaming of our return.

Our Stay

When we arrived we were very happy the home looked like it does in the on-line presentation. Great floorplan, very clean, short walk to the beach. Well maintained pool. Outdoor grill was awesome! Nicely outfitted kitchen. Nice towels, beach towels, linens and pillows - this may not sound like much but the last time we stayed in a privately owned property we needed to buy all these items - there's were worn out. We visit the island often and would absolutly stay here again!

Relaxing 4th of July Trip

My husband, sister, brother-in-law, and myself all stayed at this rental for the week of 4th of July. The house was so very clean and backyard pool area was a great hit with us. Since the beaches were so crowded we just enjoyed staying at the house and enjoyed the pool. The bed sheets were amazing and I have since purchased the same ones for my bed. The only thing we had a bit of an issue with was the bed in the master bedroom was a bit to soft to our liking. The beach was within walking distance and my dog enjoyed his daily neighborhood walks. I would definitely recommend this beach rental.

The house was nice and clean. However, there is absolutely nothing in the kitchen. Not a coffee filter, a grain of salt, or a sliver of aluminum foil. No Tupperware, no Saran Wrap, nothing. You must bring 100% of everything you need for food and cooking. Which is fine. Just worth noting. The kitchen has zero supplies. The house sleeps 8 but there are only 4 cheap chairs and no umbrella.

Very Nice

Really nice home. Only reason didn't give it 5 stars is one of the bathrooms is a little small. Other than that very nice. More than enough room for the five of us. Pool clean perfect size. Scallops wrapped in bacon were awesome on the grill. Everything updated really nice. Loved the concrete floors and wood floors. Was our 4th year in a row in Anna Maria. Thanks, loved it.

Great Rental Agency!

I have rented this property for the past 2 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The layout, pool and location are perfect for my husband and I. Anna Maria Life Vacations have been amazing to work with. I decided to cancel my reservation for next year because the rental price went up too much. AMLV was able to work with me and transfer my deposit to another rental we made for December of 2022 so we didn't lose money canceling the Beach n it rental. I will be sure to recommend you to friends looking for rentals in the future and I can only hope that rental prices will come down and be more affordable on AMI.

Beach Relaxation

We spent a week in this property, very spur of the moment. They made the process really easy for us and we are grateful. We booked on a Friday afternoon and checked in on a Monday afternoon. Check-in was great and the communication with management team was excellent. The House is exactly as represented on the website. It’s a great location close to all the beaches. The pool was wonderful and the house was incredibly clean. Great air conditioning and comfortable beds. If we could change one thing, we would probably have liked to have a few basics available in the house. it’s pretty much other than linens strip down like a hotel. But overall, we loved the property and our stay. We would recommend and return.

Perfect vacation home for large family!

The house was the perfect size for our family of 6. Plenty of (comfortable) beds, big functional kitchen with a large dining room table. Full size laundry machines and dishwasher. The frying pans could use an update (non-stick worn down), as well as some forks that had chips in them. The pool was clean and warm, and large enough for 4 kids to play games with each other. Nice backyard and patio furniture. The only snafoo came when the key pad didn't work upon arrival (our phones did not work in the States to call the after hours emergency number). Once we got the key out of the lock box though it was smooth sailing! Quick and easy beach access too. Nice long driveway.

1st time to AMI. Won't be the last.

The house and pool were great. Great location too. We did have a few maintenance issues unfortunately. AC unit froze up after turning it on. Had maintenance and then an AC company there the day after check in. Thursday night a breaker popped during the evening and we lost power to half the house. The key to the room with the breaker box could not be found till the next day. Breaker popped a few more times. The rental company was very quick with our calls and coming out. They called in an electrician to come and fix the issue Saturday after we checked out. Even with the issues we would still rent again.

Beautiful Rental!

My family and I absolutely loved this vacation rental! We had 6 adults, 2 children and 1 baby. The house itself was beautiful, had a very happy beachy feel. The driveway had plenty of room for our rental cars and the golf cart we rented. Kitchen was fully equipped, house was well taken care of and very clean. We absolutely loved the backyard and pool set up. It was so nice to have a pool with a larger first step with an umbrella stand. My 1 year old daughter played on the first step of the pool for hours each day. We loved that there was 2 fridges, plenty of room for drinks and food. Plenty of room for a pack n play in any of the rooms. So many restaurants and shops nearby, highly recommend renting a golf cart! We would absolutely rent Beach n It again!

Great Week at AMI

This is our second time renting from Anna Maria Life. We'll definitely use them again. We are pretty picky with our rental quality and “Beach-In It” was great. I have no complaints. The house served our family of 4 plus 2 small dogs great. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Just a short golf cart ride to whatever you need. The house was well maintained, well decorated and clean. Kitchen was well stocked and the 2nd refrigerator in the garage was useful. The pool was clean and we'll maintained. The outdoor areas were great. We replaced a few lightbulbs, but they were already at the house. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. I would recommend this rental.
