Great quiet neighborhood

This was our second time coming to AMI, first time at this property. I'm glad we gave it a second chance because we loved this property and it's location on the island. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves. We are definitely looking to book again next summer.

Perfect House for a Perfect Vacation

This was our 3rd trip to Anna Maria and this was by far our favorite house. My boys loved the barn by the pool, it became their hangout. They loved the little mini golf course. Everyone enjoyed the corn hole boards. The rooms were perfect, each with their own bathroom. The beach was a short walk away. We had an issue with the pool but a quick call to the office and it was fixed the next day. We would definitely like to stay here again next year. Can't beat the location!

Everything you need!

A Reel Beauty was a great place to stay for our family of 6 adults. The home has a great layout & nice furnishings. The home was well stocked with beach and pool equipment, including 2 beach carts and at least 8 chairs. There were plenty of bath and beach towels. The pool barn, putting green and cornhole area were a nice bonus and we enjoyed using those amenities!The pool was clean and well maintained. About a block to the beach! This home does not disappoint.

Real good time at A Reel Beauty

Spent a full week here with family, house was everything we expected and more. From the putting green to the grassy area by the pool, to the amazing pool that our kids enjoyed so much, everything was perfect. The house is well maintained, and packed with everything you'd need for the beach. The beach is a short walk away, we rented a golf cart and it made getting around even easier. Close proximity to Publix made making sure we were well stocked very easy. The customer service was exceptional, answering any and all questions we had once called upon. We'll be using AM Life Vacation rentals for our yearly beach trips to the island moving forward, thank you for an amazing trip that we won't soon forget!

A Real Beauty is Really Beautiful!

A Real Beauty is an impressive remodel with spacious floor plan, open truss ceilings and well-appointed amenities throughout the home. Excellent location- short walk to uncrowded part of Holmes beach, close proximity to Publix, shops and restaurants, and settled in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool, in the "barn" and on the side patio when we were not at the beach or exploring the island. The pool was set at a perfect temperature and well-maintained. Beds were comfy and we had plenty of towels and beach towels. The dining room area is spacious with an additional living area and its own AC unit- great for large gatherings. Even the established landscape is beautiful. Excellent, friendly customer service when I called in for a question. Overall, A Real Beauty and Anna Maria Life exceeded our expectations and we look forward to staying again!

Amazing!

We spent last week at A Reel Beauty in Holmes Beach and it was simply amazing! We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came back. It is a beautiful home that has everything you could possibly need. It is a very short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. The kids love the pool, putting green and corn hole boards (the adults do too!). It is centrally located to all the restaurants and shopping. Had a little issue with the faucet in one of the bathrooms and they sent someone right out to fix it - on Memorial day! Not only is the house great but the whole area is too. Everyone is so laid back and friendly. I grew up on east coast Florida and this area has that "old Florida" vibe that I remember! Hope it always stays that way! I plan to be back again next year!!

Gorgeous Property, Great Location, Great House

We fell in love with the property and everything in it. If we had to give any critique to anything, it would be the lack of comfort of the third bed in the smaller bedroom. Highly recommend bringing ice and replenishing daily, the ice machine is a little slow to keep up with summer time drinks by the pool. Other than that the property is wonderful with a ton of room and seating options! We got a notification we could get in early on the day of check-in, but the front door code didn't get turned on until 4. Thankfully, a back door was left unlocked and we got in there. Everything was great other than the smaller bedroom bed. Well done and thank you for making our friends trip fantastic!

House

Layout of the house is nice. Would accommodate 4 adults and a child. Pool was nice with a spa. Location is pretty much in the middle of everything. Beach is 2 blocks with a decent walk once you hit sand. Pretty much had the beach to ourselves. The house was well equipped with items for the kitchen, had beach chairs, boards and wagons, which were in good shape. We had a couple of issues during the stay that pertained to cleanliness, a mini split AC unit vs TV and ants. We feel like the property really needed a good cleaning and didn’t have a proper going through before we arrived. The management company was notified of all of the issues and responded. They came out and cleaned the drain to the mini split and stopped it from leaking into the tv. The tv was going to need to be replaced after we left. We truly hope the exterminator will come out before the next guests. There is no way that it hadn’t been an issue prior to our stay. Overall, the house was fine just needs to be kept up better. Also, the grill shown in the pic is not available to guests but there is a grill to use outside.

Perfect for us

It was as advertised. We would definitely stay here again. We took my parents and it worked out perfectly, since there were no stairs. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool everyday we were there. Everyone in the family was happy with this property. You can find homes that were more expensive, but why would you when this one has everything you could possibly need. The only thing that could be improved, a window company came to take measurements and needed inside and we were not notified in advance. After speaking with the management company, it sounds like the window company showed up early.

A "Reel" Getaway!!

Beautiful pool and hot tub! We enjoyed both every day. We rented bicycles and were able to get almost everywhere-and no problems parking at Skinny's!!! Weather was great, and we got to use the fire table on the cooler evenings.. All amenities you'd need in the kitchen as we grilled fresh fish 3 of our 7 nights!! Wonderful place with all the right beach touches!!

Spacious retreat with perfect location

We were a family of four with a 3 and 5 year old. Grandpa also joined us for a couple of days. Plenty of space and loved having two living room — we used the breezeway room all day long for meals and a retreat from the sun. All the bedrooms were spacious and plenty of extra pillows and blankets offered. Most importantly, very good pool alarm system for those concerned about pool with small children. The alarm could be heard a couple houses away (we heard a few neighbors tripping theirs) and this brought us much peace of mind. The backyard was great, we spent about 10 hours a day in the pool. Beach is 2 blocks away. We were also able to walk ~5 blocks and have multiple dining and ice cream options.

Great House

Just enough for our family of 5! Loved the outdoor space with pool, putting green, cornhole and fire pit! Beach towels and Chairs were provided. Short stroll to the beach. Love the small town feel and little shops. Rented kayaks one day to wonder in the bay and canals. Saw several dolphins. Home is open and spacious. Decorated nicely and had everything we needed! Would definitely recommend!
