Aqua Cove

The location to the beach and the full sun in the back yard all day were great!

Carole - Posted: 2/8/2026

So happy to hear you enjoyed the location and all-day sunshine in the backyard, Carole. That full Florida sun really makes it easy to relax, and being close to the beach is always a win. Thanks for choosing Aqua Cove by Anna Maria Vacations—we’d love to have you back for another easygoing, sun-filled stay with the family!

We came from Germany and stayed here for 5 nights – and we absolutely loved it.This is a truly beautiful house right on the dock. And the most magical part: when we arrived, a manatee showed up right there. That moment alone was unforgettable.Anna Maria Island itself is stunning.Yes, the pool is not huge – but our kids absolutely loved it. It felt so cozy, especially with the umbrella area to sit outside and relax. I also really appreciated the safety gate for our toddler. It made such a difference to be able to fully relax and know she could not just wander out.The bedrooms were beautiful and the whole home felt like a warm, cozy, very typical American home. We would definitely come back again.It was also very nice that we were allowed to check in one hour early because we had groceries with us. The house offered everything we needed – for the beach and in the kitchen there was truly everything you need.The bathrooms were spacious and great.We felt extremely comfortable and would have loved to stay longer if we didn’t have to go back home.Thank you so much to the whole team – it was really wonderful.

Hi, Wilhelm, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that Aqua Cove was such a special stay for your family. What an incredible welcome to the island with a manatee greeting you right at the dock. Moments like that make Anna Maria Island so magical. We are glad your kids enjoyed the pool and that the safety gate helped you relax. It is great to hear the home felt cozy and comfortable for everyone. Our team was happy to offer the early check in and it is wonderful that the home had everything you needed for beach days and family meals. We truly appreciate you choosing Anna Maria Vacations during your travels from Germany and we hope we can welcome you back for a longer stay next time!!

Aqua Cove exceeded our expectations. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Pool wagon and plentiful beach chairs available for use. The private pool was a wonderful oasis. Manatees visited almost daily off the back dock. Will definitely be visiting again!

We had high hopes from the onset after viewing pics online. Pics are always better but they weren't far from the truth. We stayed w/ our family of four but really could have had another family of 4-6 join us. House is huge and well-located to get access to Pine Street (where most of the few restaurants / stores are) and beaches were a few blocks away which you could walk and tow a wagon / chairs (provided) or drive a golf cart (which we rented for a week). The weather was a bit cool to use the pool and spa (heated somewhat) but it was an amazing set up. Manatees were at our dock which we supplemented w/ kayaks for the week to paddle alongside both dolphins and manatees. Also, dock enabled us to rent a boat and really explore for a few days. We wanted to 'rent' a luxury AMI lifestyle and feel we lived it to the fullest at this amazing property. Also, beach towels were provided which isn't a given these days but is super annoying when not included. Our kids were blown away at the elevator and rec spaces but I loved the convenience of not hauling our luggage up 3 flights of stairs. We will stay here again.

Property was great and communication was great. The house had a lot more than what we thought it would have (chairs, cooler, games). We did not like the new ringing system that goes off every time you open a door by the pool. However, I know this is a new law. Also, I left some clothes in the master bedroom dresser drawer and contacted AMI property as soon as I got home. I knew exactly where I left them and was told that they weren't there. So someone either didn't check or cleaning crew would have taken them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Julie. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Although we are sorry our team wasn't able to find your clothing, we are happy to have been of service. You were a wonderful guest, and we hope to host you again soon!

My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. Our only complaint was the TV. Although there are TV’s in every room and even on the lanai, the only TV’s that worked was the living room and master bedroom. Connecting to the cable company was very difficult and required a call to the real estate company. We were unable to get the Florida Gator game on CBS Saturday. For some reason that station has been blocked. We had to go to the locate bar to watch the game.

Geraldine T. - Posted: 9/19/2021

Thank you for taking your time to send us a review of your stay. We are sorry about your experience with the TVs. We are glad that you were able to find a local bar to enjoy the Gator game.

Walead, thank you for the five-star review of Aqua Cove. We think it is a great property as well and are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to our lovely little island.

My daughter fell in love with this house online and it did not disappoint! The house is beautiful with many activities for our young adults (pool table, bags, ping pong and a nice swimming pool) and a great location. The house was very spacious and clean. I agree that a little TLC is needed but nothing that hampered our vacation. As owners of a rental property we know how things get damaged by renters and it’s hard to keep up if you can’t visit property after each rental. The only major complaint was the firmness of the second master king bed. This was our 4th visit to AMI and we would definitely stay here again.

Cheryl - Posted: 5/29/2021

Cheryl, thank you for the five-star review of Aqua Cove! This is what we strive for from each of our guests. The home is beautiful and does offer a variety of activities for those rare "non-beach days". I'm not sure if you meant the mattress was too firm or not firm enough, but would be happy to discuss that with you if you'd like to give us a call. Mattress comfort is very subjective ~ the Goldilocks Effect ~ but we will be happy to bring this to the owners' attention. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to AMI!

Loved being able to kayak and paddle board, pool was great, Pine Street and beach were close. House was really awesome for us. Master bedroom was fantastic!

betsy p. - Posted: 9/15/2020

Betsy, we are thrilled that you had a great vacation at Aqua Cove. We think the location of the home is great! It sounds like you were really active and had a chance to explore AMI while you were here. We hope that you decide to visit us again soon.

Prime Vacations staff

Beautiful home and property. Nicely appointed home. Wonderful well stocked kitchen for cooking meals as we didn't dine out as we usually do. The pool area was great to hang out in. Boat dock was a real plus as we had our boat with us. We had a few maintainance issues that were addressed promptly. Management company was very helpful. Rented golf carts to get to beach but it was a really short walk. We all agreed that we would stay again.

Melanie, Lakeland - Posted: 8/3/2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave Anna Maria Vacations a 5 star review, Melanie. We are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed staying in at Aqua Cove. We are glad that we were able to assist you with any needs you had in a timely manner. Hopefully, we can welcome you back as our guests to AMI in the future.

From the pictures we figured the house was going to be nice and they did not disappoint. One of the biggest surprises was the additional fridge in the garage and the ice chest under the awning downstairs. We had plenty of room for drinks and popcicles. The house was roomy and fit all 9 of us perfectly. The pool was a big hit along with the ping pong table. We really enjoyed the outside area. There is construction going on around the house but it was not really ever disrupting. The good part about that is once they left for the day there was no one directly near us. We rented golf carts for the week and that was the best decision ever my car stayed parked in the very large 2 car garage all week. This is in the top 10 for best vacations! Loved it and will totally come back.

Adam C. - Posted: 7/2/2020

Adam~ WOW! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Aqua Cove so much! It is a perfect property for large groups. Golf carts on the island are a very popular option and I'm glad that they were such a hit for you and your family! We hope that you will visit us again in the near future!

Beautiful home. Owners thought of everything. Some AC trouble but only occurs last day of stay. Hoping it was resolved quickly for the new renters. Garage full of beach gear! Very nice

This house was super clean and beautiful. Great location to beach and restaurants. The only complaint is that there are literally 4-5 houses next door and all around that are going through construction which was really noisy when sitting outside. Also the tv in the living room was hard to work.

Kelly S. - Posted: 1/4/2020

Thank you so much for the 5 star review, Kelly! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Aqua Cove and that the home was clean upon arrival! We are sorry to hear about the noisy construction, unfortunately we are not notified when construction takes place. Regardless, we are happy that you were able to enjoy your time on AMI. We hope to welcome you back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Aqua Cove. The house is beautiful and we felt very comfortable there during our stay. The outdoor area is equally nice. It’s also just a short walk to beach. We would love to book again.

Conni R., Waterloo, IL - Posted: 12/22/2019

Thank you so much for the 5 star review, Conni! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your week and felt comfortable for your stay at Aqua Cove! We are glad that this home was conveniently located near the beach for you and we look forward to welcoming you back to AMI soon!

Prime Vacations staff

This house is amazing. I wanted to treat my parents to a nice vacation and this house has everything we wanted. The elevator made it very easy for my mother (who can't climb steps) to move around with ease. There was plenty of beach chairs/umbrellas. We definitely could have packed less. We even left a few chairs as well. The only thing bad about the stay was that there were literally 10-15 garbage bags filled up by the garage when we arrived. The smell was horrible and stuck around all week. Even after I sprayed the ground down. Overall - I would definitely return and recommend.

Wayne Y. - Posted: 8/13/2019

Wayne, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay at Aqua Cove! It really is a great home and we are so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay here on Anna Maria. Unfortunately, the trash service for the island is on Mondays, so when guests arrive/depart on Saturdays, the trash can become excessive. During your next stay with us, please let us know if there is an issue and we will send one of our Service Technicians to haul it away for you. We look forward to welcoming you back to AMI in the near future!
