My daughter was playing in a soccer tournament at IMG Academy and we decided to turn the trip into a long weekend/mini family vacation. Anna Maria Aloha couldn't have been a better option for us. AMI in general was beautiful and this property was in an amazing location with easy walking access to the beach and a number of restaurants, shops, etc. The property itself was even nicer than the photos and was very comfortable for our family of four. Furniture, finishes, etc. were all very nice, as was our interactions with the host.We are hopeful to return.

Great location / Updated Space

Location was great for our family. Close to the beach, crowds at our section of the beach were very small making our time at the beach seem very private even though it is a public beach. Space is updates and very nice.

Rolando and Family, So glad you enjoyed our little slice of Heaven, Sand Dancer! It is a peaceful and wonderful island and we like to think our house fits right it with that as well. Being so close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants is our “Fun Thing” when we are there. Or a combination of the 2 and being able to walk down the beach to the restaurants that are right on the beach to watch the spectacular sunsets!! Please do come back and visit soon!

Great Place to Stay for Perfect Beach Vacation

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are planning to spend your vacation at the beach. The house is such a short walk to the beach. The beach location is nice and quiet, not crowded like other areas since there isn’t any public parking nearby. The house itself is one of the best VRBO houses we have stayed at. Outstandingly clean, which is so important to us. And then the house is extremely well-stocked, great bath and beach towels, a wide assortment of beach accessories, the best stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, etc. We also appreciated the bag of toiletries given to us to get the trip started on the right foot. Fantastic house and fantastic management company.

Wonderful Spot on Anna Maria

This trip was our tenth summer vacation on Anna Maria, and our stay at Sand Dancer was terrific. The house is in a perfect location - within five minutes of leaving the house your toes are in the water. The property also has a trolley stop directly beside it for the added convenience of transportation - you literally don't have to get in your car again after you settle in (you can travel directly to Publix, drug stores, to the city pier). The house is VERY clean and well appointed - while it isn't large, it sleeps six comfortably and we had family meals around the large dining table with room to spare. I highly recommend this property and working with Ellie and the folks at her firm - very professional, accommodating, and friendly.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review Sand Dancer. Glad you loved the location as much as we do and hope you will be back to see us. Ellie is a joy for us as owners as well and glad to hear she took good care of you. Walking along the beaches to go to dinner after watching sunset is one of our favorite things to do on the island so we hope you got to experience it as well. Sooo many good restaurants on the island and withing walking distance or as you mentioned a very short trolley ride and it's free!

Excellent location and nice remodel

Our family of four stayed here for more than two weeks, during the holiday and loved it. The home is newly remodeled and has a great lay out. Kitchen and open dining and living area is very comfortable and homey. The best part is LOCATION! we love the beach side of Gulf, and being able to walk about 6 houses to the beach. we could go to and from the beach multiple times per day and not have to lug a lot of stuff. Washer/dryer is outside, in car port, which is fine, but just know that you are going outside. The home is at corner of Gulf road, which we thought would be noisy, but it is very quiet in the master bedroom - -lots of insulation from the road. We love Anna Maria and we will be back! We'd stay here again in a heart beat!

Mary, Thank you for taking the time to review Sand Dancer, I’m happy your family enjoyed staying there for the Holidays. We also love our home’s proximity to the beach and several great dining choices including Slim’s Place (their bacon wrapped meatloaf is a must). Our newly remodeled home has an open concept perfect for preparing meals and rehashing the day’s events with the family. Our home is well insulated from outside noise plus that part of the Island becomes quiet very early. I’m sure that Ellie, Suzanne and Bob would love to hear back from you when planning your trip back to the Island!

Charming Beach House

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this cute little beach house. It was the perfect size for my family of 4. Provided great beach accessories such as ample chairs, cart, cooler, towels, beach toys and an umbrella. We ended up renting another one to go with the one they provided which provided enough shade for all four of us. We have been coming to the island for a long time and this one one of the first kitchens that was adequately stocked. Loved that they had plastic containers for left overs and cups for the beach. The beds were extremely comfortable and the decor was really nice. The manager was easy to work with and provided great communication. Best part is that the house is just a short walk to the beach and close to a lot of places on the island. We hope to rent this place again next year.

Great location and beautiful home!

Our family booked our first trip to Anna Maria Island, and used VRBO for the first time. Both were great experiences, and the supporting rental company was awesome. This home has been beautifully restored after the storms that hit the area. You wouldn't even know it had any damage. The conditions on the inside and outside are amazing with everything we needed for a great vacation. The rooms were spacious, bathrooms clean, and living areas including the kitchen were well appointed and felt like a new home.The proximity to the beach is fantastic. Being able to take a short two minute walk to a beautiful beach was the best part of our stay. The beach was far less crowded than many others including Bean Point. We could easily walk back to the house to grab something, and enjoyed multiple sunsets! This is why you rent this house.If you are bothered by road noise when outside you might have issues when it's busy with traffic. We didn't mind as we are used to living in busy areas, and just being there made the sounds irrelevant. You can't really hear it on the inside of the home which was great.Overall, a great place and amazing island. We will 100% be back!

Well appointed property and house.

We stayed at this house for two weeks in February and March. The house surpassed our expectations. From the basket of beach towels at the front door, to the modern updated kitchen, this house had it all! The stained concrete floor was beautiful. There was a "beach buggy" with umbrella, beach chairs and a cooler to roll down the street to the beach. The free island trolley stop is right outside the front door. That was very handy for going out for dinner, we didn't have to worry about having some wine at dinner and then driving. There are several breakfast spots within a short walking distance and a few restaurants close by for dinner as well. Our only disappointment was the fact that the house is on the corner of a busy street and traffic was bothersome. We were informed that there are plans to install a fence at the corner of the property which may mitigate some of the constant noise from the traffic. That is the only fault we can find with this very nice island house.

Dale and Family, Thanks for taking the time to review Sand Dancer! We know your time is valuable and do appreciate your efforts. We do feel the remodel of the home is wonderful and we are thankful to our contract Mark Kimball for doing such a fantastic job. It sounds like you took full advantage of the excellent location of Sand Dancer and enjoyed everything Anna Maria has to offer from the free trolley to the great beaches and wonderful shops and restaurants. Sand Dancer is located on the corner of Oak and Gulf drive so there is some traffic during the day on Gulf Drive although there is a 25 mile per hour speed limit so it has never bothered us at all when we are in the home. At night the traffic is minimal as they “role up the streets around 10” but we have decided to put up a barrier fence along the corner area so it affords a bit more privacy when you are outside. We had hoped to do this a bit sooner but the home has been booked and we did not want to disturb our guests! Hope to see you again at the new and improved Sand Dancer!

No Customer Service

The Cottage is a cute place. We unpacked and I went to turn on the lamp in the master bedroom and the top of the lamp fell off. I tried to reattach it in the moment. It was not that easy. I texted the number indicated in the instructions to notify someone of the problem and sent a picture of the problem. I received a response that was apologetic and its a holiday we will contact you on Tuesday. I responded with a thumbs up. We never heard from any one. I fixed it myself it did take about 30 minutes and an extra set of hands. My husband and I were able to fix it our selves. So we went to bed the first night to find the King size bed had a Queen size flat sheet and 3 king pillows with king pillow cases and 1 king pillow with a standard pillow case. So the next day I went on a hunt in the house to find the king pillow case on the standard pillow on the queen bed in the other room. So I switched those. The bathroom throw rugs were dirty so I washed those to find the washer has cold water for hot setting and hot water for cold setting. The master area is dirty as well. The Kitchen rug is filthy. The toaster did not work properly but we toughed it out. We stayed there 14 days and no one ever contacted us. All I can say is the Customer Service is not horrible but absolutely non existent all together. Having the proper linens on the beds and lamps being intact are bare necessities.

Hi Jen, I am truly at a loss for the this review. We agree the home is very cute and well kept. We greatly apologize for what seems to be such a subpar review of the home and our our services. You had reached out on Sunday via text message on New Year's Eve regarding the lamp to which we promptly responded with a sincere apology and we would be in touch after the holiday. I went back through all our correspondence and didn't see another message from you at all. I do apologize that I personally dropped the ball and didn't check back in with you but if at any point if you would have reached out and kindly reminded us, we would have happily stopped by and addressed the lamp as well as any other concerns you had. This is the first I am hearing about any of the other concerns you listed. It appears the linens may have gotten mixed up and our cleaning crews are excellent and would have happily addressed any needs you had. We will look to remove the extra throw rugs from the home and follow up with maintenance regarding checking the toaster (we would have gladly brought you a new one as we keep them in stock) and look at the hot and cold for washing machine as that is again a new reported issue for us. We apologize you felt our service was non-existent but during your stay we responded on a holiday within an hour to your only text message to us, we also did leave upon your arrival a bottle of champagne and new year's eve goodies to ring in the new year and during your stay we sent an an email to you regarding information for the incoming inclement weather we were forecasted to have. All of which are services very few other companies on the island provide. I apologize sincerely we forgot to reach back out about the lamp. We wish you would have given us a better opportunity to assist and serve you. Thank you.

Perfect Getaway

We loved the Aloha House! The beach was an extremely short walk away and the free trolley stop was right outside our doorstep in both directions. The house had everything you need to be comfortable and relax after a beautiful day sunbathing, shopping, eating and just enjoying the beautiful island. Thank you so much for sharing your kind words! 🌴 We're thrilled to hear you loved your stay at Aloha House and that its convenient location made exploring the island so easy. It sounds like you enjoyed the best of Anna Maria—from sunshine and shopping to good food and relaxation. We'd be delighted to welcome you back for another island getaway soon!

Great location, clean, and well-appointed

This home was the perfect destination for my partner and I, my parents, our dog, and eight week old. The location is super convenient to the beach and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. I've typically stayed further north on on the island but was pleasantly surprised with the accessibility. Plus the beach access off Oak Avenue is less busy than many other locations on the island. The home was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our vacation.We would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that the home was a perfect fit for your family—including your newest little addition and pup! It's great to know you enjoyed the convenient location and quieter beach access off Oak Avenue—definitely one of the island's hidden gems. We'd love to welcome you all back again anytime!

Great location, excellent responsiveness by host and so clean!

We had such a wonderful stay at this little beach house. The second and third bedrooms were a little smaller than we anticipated but we may do. This is probably the cleanest property we have ever rented and we have been visiting Ana Maria Island for about nine years. Location to the beach is amazing, easy access to Pine Avenue on bikes. It was just a wonderful stay for our family before our kids leave for college.

Absolute Perfection!

Beautifully maintained, designed, decorated, home in a great location. The owner paid close attention to the details to ensure that your stay is peaceful and private. Even though the home is located on the corner, the amenities, landscaping, privacy fence panels and flowing wisteria provide the perfect amount of privacy and noise control. I can’t say enough about the Management, Suzanne is the ultimate professional! Suzanne and her team are Customer Service and accommodations! We will only rent our vacation home through her.

Anna Maria 2022

Loved the home & the location being on Gulf side making a short walk to the beach as well as for riding bikes around the town of Anna Maria. The home was supplied with everything you need. All of beach supplies (beach buggy, plenty of chairs, etc.) were a big plus. Anna Maria is a beautiful vacation spot.

Perfect Vacation Spot!

I've been coming to Anna Maria my whole life, and stayed at Anna Maria Aloha for my first trip back as a father with my 18 month old daughter. The location was perfect and the rental was so well equipped for an infant - we found books and toys in one of the closets, and the beach supplies (wagon, sand toys, chairs and umbrella) were so great!
