This home on Anna Maria Island was incredible. First of all, it is in a terrific location- a very short walk from the beach and also close walking distance to many great shops and restaurants. The beach that it is near is beautiful, turquoise water and white sand- we saw turtles and manatees on the beach. From walking up and down the beach, it always seemed to be the most uncrowded stretch of beach in the area too! The house itself is amazing. It was perfectly clean, the beds were very comfortable, the linens and towels soft, the dishes, appliances, pots and pans, blenders etc all seemed new and were in perfect condition. The pool and hot tub were great- our kids loved the pool and it was always the perfect temperature. There is even a bathroom on ground level by the pool along with a cabana room that we ended up using a lot while our kids played in the pool. The house was so well equipped with outdoor toys- multiple bikes that we used to explore the island, pool toys, beach toys, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets etc. there is even a wagon to transport gear to the beach. We loved not having to rent bikes and kayaks or run out to buy the things we needed for the beach. The owners of this property have thought of everything and were helpful and kind in their communications. I highly recommend this property- it is a gem!
