This property was a wonderful last-minute find and worked out perfectly for our trip with friends who were staying nearby.The unit was tastefully furnished and nicely decorated. While it is on the smaller side, that was not an issue for us since we spent most of our days exploring the island. The kitchen was well-equipped with the cookware and utensils needed to prepare meals, although guests should plan to purchase basic cooking supplies and grilling essentials, as only limited provisions are provided.One of our favorite features was the dock, which was the perfect spot to enjoy coffee each morning. Everything in the unit functioned properly, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well. The bathroom was small but completely functional. The water view from the living room was absolutely spectacular and added greatly to the overall experience.The building itself is fairly basic and shows its age in some areas, but the unit was comfortable and met our needs. The one improvement we would suggest is adding a table and chairs. Currently, there is no dedicated place to sit and enjoy a meal, either indoors or outdoors.Overall, we would recommend this property for travelers looking for a comfortable place to sleep, relax, and enjoy the island. We rented bikes during our stay, and the location made it easy to reach just about anywhere on Anna Maria Island. The laundry was a bonus too.

We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough for an easy walk or bike ride to the old bayside pier and beach, several coffee shops, restaurants and the general store. Perfect for fishing off the dock and getting on the water with our paddle boards, or just enjoying the view. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We plan on booking again. Thanks!

I do not do surveys but I gotta say, getting on or off the bed was soooo noisy it woke everyone!! A clock in the bedroom would be helpful, and it was very difficult sharing the bathroom IN OUR ROOM (WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT) especially without an outlet!!!

Everything was great. Kitchen appliances were like new, bed was very comfortable, and the laundry was a great bonus. Shower drain was slow to drain but that was the only negative thing I could come up with. Everything was great!
