Tarpon Flats is a fantastic rental! The location is in a quiet neighborhood on the bay. It is a short 3 blocks to the beach. The single unit house has three spacious bedrooms, plenty of living and storage space and has a two car garage with automatic doors. The laundry area is also located in the garage with a front load washer and a newer dryer.
The living room and dining room area is very large and open with a huge sectional couch and a dining table that can seat at least six people. There are two sets of French doors that open to a balcony that is great for sitting and sipping coffee in the morning. There is a huge flat screen smart tv with Roku, Netflix, Prime, etc.
The kitchen has modern appliances and everything we needed to prepare our meals. A starter roll of paper towels, dish soap and dishwasher tablets were provided. The pantry was a decent size and there was plenty of storage in the kitchen cabinets. All of the dishes, plates, silverware, pots and pans were in really great shape.
The house has a small half bath that is perfect for kids or if you’re like me, a great place to do hair and makeup when the master bath is in use! The master bath is modern and well appointed. The rain shower head is AWESOME! The only issue I had was the counter in the master bath was a little high for me to brush my teeth.
The master bedroom had a wonderfully comfy king sized bed. There was a eight drawer dresser with a huge flat screen smart tv sitting on top. There was plenty of closet space in all three bedrooms and each closet had plenty of hangers. The screened in porch is accessed through the master bedroom. It is a huge quiet relaxing space with a hammock at one end and a group of patio furniture at the other. There are two lighted ceiling fans over head that are operated by remotes stored on the wall by the door.
The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third has two single beds. These are great family sleeping accommodations.
All of the towels and bed linens were in great shape. The beach towels were of good quality.
The beach gear include a sand buggy, beach chairs, pool noodles and sand toys. There was a beach umbrella which was in good shape and when we asked, a canopy was available.
This is a great rental whether it’s for your whole family or just you and you significant other. It has everything you could want in a vacation rental on Anna Maria Island.
