The home and experience was the best week we have ever had on Anna Maria Island. We have been coming every 4th of July for over 6 years.
The home was beautiful and had everything you could need for a great time. The pool was amazing . The dock and fire pit was so nice, we fished every day and night. Our grandchildren never left the dock and with the kayaks and paddle board everyone got to spend time on the water. We live in Bradenton Florida on the river and have never seen so many Manatees swimming up and down the canal and around the kayaks before.
We also took the kayaks out and caught dinner nice grassy areas to fish and we caught 8 trout and cleaned them on the fish cutting board provided by the dock.
We used the gas grill . We also rented a 8 person golf cart to get around the island for the week. We saw the owners family photos on the walls. You can see how special this home is to them and now our family. We will be booking again if it comes available not just for the July 4th.

Hi, that's awesome to hear that you had such a blast on Anna Maria Island! Sounds like y'all really made the most of that sweet spot! The home looks like it's got everything you need to kick back and enjoy the island life. Fishing, kayaking, and spotting manatees - that's the stuff memories are made of. And a golf cart to get around? That's the way to do it. Glad you felt the love the owners put into the place. We hope to host your stay in the future!
Thank you,

Fabulous vacation
Stayed for a week with some longtime former military friends. We had a fabulous time absolutely nothing negative to say. The home was spotless I am extremely crazy about cleanliness and this home passed my test! Great location, quiet neighborhood, we most definitely will be back!

We had a great stay at this home! Initially had some trouble getting in. I did not receive entry instructions prior to check in, and when I did, AMI had a difficult time finding the correct code. It took about 30 minutes to resolve the situation, but once we got in we did not have any additional issues. The home was fantastic. Beautiful location with a great pool. The kids loved sitting and fishing off the dock, and we saw manatees swimming by almost daily. About a 6 minute walk to the beach. Not easily walkable to restaurants/shops, but the drive was easy. The only thing to know about this place is that the master bedroom is upstairs, and you need to get up a steep spiral staircase to get to it. It wasn't an issue for us, but if someone had issues with mobility, it would be problematic. Overall we would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the detailed review and feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay overall, despite the initial check-in challenges. Your comments regarding the master bedroom's location and accessibility are helpful for future guests. We will address the entry instructions process to ensure a smoother check-in experience going forward. Thank you again for your business, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Family vacation
Our stay was great! We had manatees by our dock daily. The kids loved fishing off the dock and we had a great location for visiting the beach which had a good breakfast and lunch menu. Any small issues we had were taken care of immediately. Great week and beautiful home with lots of space!

Fantastic property
Great property. We enjoyed all aspects of the house. The bedrooms were perfect for our group. We enjoyed the manatees by the dock every day and the short walk to the beach and beach cafe

This property is a must stay. Great location, quick walk the the beach, restaurants and supermarket is right around the corner. House is beautiful and offers gathering space as well as privacy with "two attached residences." Outdoor amenities - great grill, pool toys, tiki bar, fire pit, putting green, ping pong and watching manatees and sunsets from the dock were family favorites. Highly recommend.
