Castaway Cove

We loved our stay here. Our one suggestion would be to leave more “staples” for guests. There were no spices (even salt and pepper), no storage containers (baggies or ziplock containers), no liquid hand soap, no Saran Wrap or aluminum foil etc). We’ve stayed in many VRBOs and have appreciated when these types of items spill over from guest to guest.

This is our 3rd annual family vacation in Anna Maria. We were a group of 12. The house was perfect, clean and comfortable! The host was responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed the pool and the private dock made our stay better for early morning fishing!

Property was as advertised. Quiet neighborhood, but highly walkable to beaches, fishing, shopping and restaurants, plus trolley stop at the end of the block. We utilized all amenities, and had a relaxing time. Would stay here again if we return with 10 adults. Loved our time on the Island!!

This place is perfect for young children - very safe and clean. Bunk bed room is perfect for multiple kids. The location cannot be beat - restaurants and beach within 2 blocks. As a mom of two kids under 4, I appreciated the attention to kitchen detail, there was even a crock pot! I got to do yoga on the canal dock and listen to fish jump while my kids played in the heated pool. It was chilly (50-60 degrees most of the time in January when we were there and the pool and hot tub remained warm enough to enjoy. Also, you can’t beat the walk in closet in the master bathroom. Highly recommend!

The beds were very comfy. Had a little trouble setting A/C ( it was cold at night). Loved having the pool alarms with 2 babies. Kitchen was well equipped the ice maker made ice but did not dispense. Would suggest adding a grill spatula ( bigger one). Overall we had the BEDT time and slept well.

We came for a family trip and had an amazing time. This house was perfect for 8 adults and 4 children under the age of 7. The alarm system was so helpful as many of them wanted to go out by the pool and dock! Excellent proximity to the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Place was incredible!!! Definitely would come back!! Couple of small critiques… the alarms on the back doors were SUPER annoying. Not sure what drives that (insurance etc) but if you’re not used to it, it will get you dozens of times. Also, not enough dish soap, trash, bags, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels or toilet paper for more than about 3 days and a full house. Expect a little more for what we paid.

Thank you for allowing us to host you, Brian. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We also appreciate your feedback and will be sure to pass everything on to our team. Regarding the alarm, this is a safety requirement we must have in place in our homes, though we understand your frustration. We hope to host you again in the future!

We absolutely loved the house, pool and short distance to the beach. The location was perfect for shopping, restaurants, bakeries and very important, ice cream! The weather was perfect. Our only complaint was one week was not enough!

The home location was really great & the backyard was lush & private! Beautiful spacious pool! Another bathroom upstairs would really help out. There are too many bedrooms sharing upstairs. Even a 1/2 bath would help out.

We had a wonderful experience on AMI and this house made our vacation and family time even better! The house was very accommodating for our family of 8 adults and 4 children.

Between the game room, pool, hot tub, and doc, we never had to leave the house! Would return!

Great house for our family of 5 with3 20 somethings and occasional significant others. We did a lot of cooking and kitchen is spacious & pretty well equipped. Great for entertaining on the spacious tables. WiFi needs upgrade with everyone working at same time!
