My husband and I were looking for a relaxing vacation, preferrably close to the beach with a condo to accomodate our stay and the unit we rented certainly far exceeded our expectations. The owners have done a great job of providing a condo that is lovely with comfortable furnishings, well stocked (the kitchen has everything you need for entertaining), very clean and the location is perfect. We especially liked the convenience of all the closet and dresser space, the extremely comfy king size bed, washer/dryer in unit, lots of fluffy towels, and the light and airy perfection of the layout. Stand on the deck and view the nice size pool/jacuzzi or look directly out onto the Gulf and white sand. We loved beginning each day with a walk on the beach and each evening watching the sun set and perform its magic...breathtaking. This is a perfect condo/vacation spot for all ages and I can not rate highly enough. Anna Maria Island offers many fine restaurants, is easy to navigate, and definately a kick back and relax kind of place. The owners have put together an informative book with maps, restaurant suggestions along with menus, where to rent beach equipment,bikes and suggested activities to enjoy while on the island. We had a wonderful day trip with the fun loving and very knowledgeable "Captain Patsy" from Star Fish Dock to view Dolphins and Manatees. Our favorite restaurants, Eat Here, Star Fish Company Pier, and Sign of the Mermaid. We will definately look forward to a return trip and and staying at this lovely condo again.
