Beachology was wonderful. Beach was one street away. House was clean and well equipped with activities outside like putting golf, cornhole and lots of pool toys. The pool was covered and ideal because of the heat. The elevator was convenient for suitcases and groceries.

Overall great location. 1/2 block and you are on white sand. We had a great stay and would stay again. The place needs a little updating in terms of cutlery, pots and pans (They were nice at one point but now the non stick coating is peeling off and need to be changed out) We encountered a couple issue and they were as follows: 1)They were very short on wine glasses which was corrected same day. 2)Upon arrival we noticed the pool walls were green with algae and 3) there was little to no propane in the outside grill including the empty spare tank. I contacted the company and they had propane supplied within an hour and the pool company came and the problem was corrected the next day(minor water chemistry issue). So response by the management company was outstanding at correcting all the issues. Place was very very clean! When you arrive bring extra dish washing pods, laundry detergent, dish soap and garbage bags as you will need them. Towels linen were excellent fresh and not worn out, the bed was comfortable. We appreciated the bikes that were available and enjoyed the ping pong table. Don't worry that it is 3 stories as there is also an elevator so no lugging your luggage up 3 flights of stairs!

We had a wonderful stay at Beachology! Our family of 10 had plenty of room to spread out, and the layout of the house was perfect for a large group. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week.The location was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The beach is just a short walk away, and it is absolutely beautiful. We loved being able to walk back and forth throughout the day without any hassle. We were also lucky enough to spot some amazing wildlife, including manatees, which made the experience even more special. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking each evening and quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day.The property management team was also great to work with and was responsive and easy to communicate with. We made so many wonderful family memories here and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Beachology again. Highly recommend!

Very nice property and well maintained. Rooms were nice and had plenty of room for our party of 10. Check in was very easy and the staff at Anna Maria Life Rentals were always available for any questions or suggestions. The proximity to the Newton beach access point is great. Easy walk and not to crowded. Also has plenty of beach chairs for you to use and a couple of umbrellas that can be used on a very light wind day. Love the property and would stay again.

Great Location and Stay

We brought our family (2 adults, 3 kids). House was spacious and comfortably furnished. Right around the corner from the beach. The pool is covered and the outdoor space is nice. Smallest complaint which is that the pool max temp can only be 85 degrees (and covered so not warmed by sun) which was only an issue with young baby Would definitely come back in the future.

Spring break for the whole family!

We LOVED this property! It was perfectly laid out for families to come together and enjoy one another and also be able to separate if need be. The pool and game room was a major kit for the kids. The open kitchen was so nice for being able to keep the conversation going while cooking dinner. The neighborhood was quiet and very walkable to all the shops and cute restaurants. Would love to come back some day in the future!

Great location!

My family and I just stayed here with a few friends and we absolutely loved it. Plenty of rooms for everyone and we loved that it was a 2 min walk to the beach for sunset. We have kids ranging 7-2 and it was extremely kid friendly! So many toys and outside toys for them to play with along with a ton of beach toys and chairs. The rental company was great they came by a few times to drop a few things off we didn’t even no we needed. We will definitely be coming back next year!

Great house and very close to the beach!

We had a great time at Beachology! Our two families of five each had plenty of room and we even had some visitors during our stay with room for them as well. The beach was so close and it was super easy to get to with the eight provided chairs to the sand with the large wheeled beach cart that was also provided. The bay side beach was a quick three or four minute golf cart ride away which we were able to enjoy on rougher days on the golf side. We would definitely return to this house. But they need to replace the dishwasher, the bottom spinner is broken so it struggles to get the dishes clean.

Fabulous Home on Bean Point

This was an annual girl’s trip for our group of women who have been friends for 50+ years. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Beachology. The house offered plenty of room for our group of 8 to sleep, share meals, play games and do some fun arts and crafts. It was just a short 5 minute walk to the beach, and about 10 minutes to the bay to view beautiful sunrises. It was so refreshing to take a dip in the pool after a full day in the sun. The local restaurants did not disappoint - Rod & Reel Pier, The Sandbar and The Porch (our favorite). We hope to return to Beachology on Anna Maria Island again in the future.

AMI dream!

We have stayed at this property 2 years in a row and love it. It is a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. There were several beach chairs and a wagon for us to use during our stay. One of the best parts of the house is that the house hangs over the pool area which keeps the pool shaded and cool! It was nice to jump in after the hot walk back to the house from our days at the beach. The home itself was clean and had plenty of space for the 11 of us (adults and kids) that have stayed there. We needed a crockpot during this stay and just had to mention it once and it appeared at the house for our use. The location of this house is great too—3-4 minute golf cart ride to north shore cafe, two scoops ice cream, donuts, pizza and local shopping. We will be back!

GREAT LOCATION OUR Favorite ever!

We've been coming to Anna Maria for the past 20 years. we've stayed all over the island, Bean Point is our favorite area. We loved our stay at Beachology!!! The only thing that was not great at all was the beach gear. As mentioned on the house description it came with beach chairs, cart and umbrellas. Unfortunately, that was not the case chairs and carts are broken or in really bad shape. It was really painful bringing stuff to the beach. Hoepfully, it will get fixed, and we can look forward to another stay at Beachology.

Multigenerational family of 9 annual beach week!

House is in a great location. Public beach access is directly across from side street (Newton), the sign is hidden by overgrown seagrape trees. Use the alley for entrance directly to outdoor showers and pool. The house is beautiful. The only flaw in every room was the beds. All the beds are super firm and uncomfortable. I heard bed complaints all week from everyone. The house was clean but I did notice that the lower stacked dishes weren't the cleanest. A sprinkler head broken during our stay, the company was out quickly to repair. The worker was very nice and professional.
