Beach View Retreat

The house was in a great location! Easy access to the beach, trolly and groceries. The pool was a favorite for all with space for kids to play and the adults to hang out as well and a sun shelf for a baby to play as well. Had some issues with the fridge ice machine but they delivered ice daily to accommodate which was amazing! Could use a few baby items at the house. We left a pack n play and baby walker so hopefully they stay at the house. Other then that the house had everything we needed and the property managers were very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Stayed for a week with family. Enough room for everyone to spread out or gather together. Loved the location close to public beach and grocery. The backyard with pool and spa was a favorite for all. House is furnished with comfortable bedding and towels. Many looked brand new. We cooked in most evening and kitchen had everything we needed. The floors could use a good cleaning. Overall, we loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

Great place. 5 bedrooms 4 bathrooms. Very nice kitchen, fenced in pool area with an outdoor kitchen/grill, tables and chairs along with 4 loungers to relax and catch some sun. The beach is a one block walk. Quick responses from both owner and rental company.

We spent a wonderful week at Beach View Retreat. The house was fully stocked, very clean and easily accommodated our family. The beach was right across the street. A beach cart was provided which made it easy to cart all our stuff. The pool, hot tub and patio were a great place to have afternoon drinks before going to dinner. We would definitely stay there again. Can’t wait to go back.

Property in great conditions. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Bathrooms in good conditions. Location is wonderful, near the beach. The pool was clean. Only the BBQ was not that clean. Our stay was great. I would definitely recommend this property

We had a wonderful time at Beach View Retreat! My siblings, our spouses and I spent the week relaxing and enjoying ourselves in this great property. Plenty of room for all nine of us, close to the beach, and clean! The property manager responded quickly to our few questions and the pool man showed up twice to make sure the pool was sparkling. If we could have asked for anything, it would have been more clothes hangers in the closets, a few pot holders and some dish towels. We would definitely recommend this property for your visits to AMI and we plan on staying there again!

Great location very close to beach. Two families of 4 stayed and had a blast. Walking to the beach each day followed up by pool in the afternoon and cooking out by the pool then going up roof to watch the sunset!

Dane, we are thrilled to hear you and your family enjoyed the home, pool, and location. We hope to host all again sometime soon!

We had a wonderful time. This is our 4th time coming to Anna Maria. We were wanting to return next year but the rate increase is forcing us to look some place else. If rates go down we would come back

Hi Donald, Thank you so much for staying with us. We love our guests and hope that you will allow us to host you once again on your next amazing trip to these gorgeous islands.

The house and property were clean upon arrival. After only one day the refrigerator died. We placed a call and maintenance staff was there immediately. Unfortunately it took 4 more days to have a working fridge, but they did bring one for the garage. It wasn't convenient, but they did make it right for us. One major gripe is that there are NO dressers in the bedrooms. Four adult couples had to live out of suitcases for a week, which is unacceptable. A simple solution would be to put an inexpensive dresser in each closet (which had no hangers either). Kitchen could use some rectangular pans, a mixer, measuring spoons, mixing bowls, etc. A quick trip to ikea would take care of these things that make it a comfortable stay for adults. All in all, nice home.

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. I've sent this for review to our guest services team to see what we can do to make this home everything it should be for our future guests. We do hope to host you again soon!

We stayed at the Beach View Retreat for our vacation this year. Having never visited Anna Maria Island, we had no idea what to expect. But, the Beach View Retreat well exceeded our expectation. The house was beautiful and the pool amazing. Every morning and evening, we were out by the pool. The house is well supplied with kitchen necessities which made our evening meals easy. The front deck was so nice in the morning to have our coffee. We did have some minor issues (bulbs were out). When I called the rental company about this, they came the same day and took care of our needs. The house is located one street from the public beach entrance, but that was not a problem for us. We walked down a block and had almost a private beach to ourselves. This vacation was one of the best we have had. The island people were so friendly, and the beach was BEAUTIFUL!! I highly recommend the Beach View Retreat and Anna Maria Island if you are planning a vacation.

Karen - Posted: 7/18/2020

Amazing !!! 5 stars across the board Ami locals are the best in Anna Maria in my opinion I will be back with them forsure highly recommend using them very professional and very high end houses !!! Very very much worth it

Keanu - Posted: 2/8/2020

Our family just loved this Airbnb! Absolutely gorgeous! Met all our expectations and more! The private pool alone was worth staying here. We will definitely be back!

Linda - Posted: 1/31/2020

Amazing place as expected! Made work seem like I was hardly working with all the views from any balcony or pool side! The hot tub is a plus after a long working day!

Hi Erica! Thank you for your kind review! Thank you for being a wonderful guest. It was a pleasure to host you and I look forward to your future returns! Thanks, Andrea

The house is beautiful. The backyard pool is tropical with foliage that protects you from the beating down Florida sun. It appears that every thing in the house was brand new-- clean and well maintained. We were steps from the beach--who could ask for more! And Andrea responded so quickly and favorably to our needs. She actually sent the pool people over when we couldn't get the hot tub to work. And yes, it then worked!
A wonderful host and an unforgettable family weekend!

We had a perfect stay in this beautiful dream house. Everything was clean, well equipped and the decoration is special. It makes you feel like you are part of this beautiful island. The view of the terrace is spectacular, I particularly fall in love with the sunsets. The private pool was great for the tasty family barbecues. We recommend it and for sure we will be back soon. See you AMI ...

What attracted me most was the beautiful terrace on which I really enjoyed a lot of time. The view,nice weather and silence that was what I needed and filled me. This house , pool is really nice . Every room has its own style that made us very impressed. The blue color is so soothing and beautiful. I felt almost same at home here :) There is also a grill so we can grill delicious food at any time, which we appreciated very much. We was there very happy and enjoyed a beautiful time together.
