Great location

Property is one house away from beach access on a very quiet street. Walking distance to great spots. Pool and screened in patio were our favorite spots. They also had beach chairs and sand toys which was an added bonus.

Great location

The location of this place can't be beat...just a minute walk to the beach, and so close to all the fun restaurants on Gulf Dr/Pine St. It's certainly a "cottage"...some updates would make it an incredible place, but the location and pool make up for it. We had a few concerns during our trip, but management was easy to connect with and did what they could to help out and make our stay great.

Mangrove Cottage July 2024

This is our 2nd stay in this wonderful, old-style Florida cottage. Superbly appointed, new appliances and fully stocked kitchen and granite countertops. Best of all is the location. A few steps to the fabulous AMI beach and walking distance to nearby eateries and shopping. Highly recommend and we would definitely return again.

A Gem!

Great location for us. Walk to town, coffee shop and some real good food. Screened porch and saltwater pool were delightful. Steps to the beach on a quiet dead end street. We had a few hiccups but they were quickly resolved by the Vacasa team.

Close to beach

The best part of this home was the location. The furniture could use a refresh. Kitchen and grill worked for us. Pool and outdoor area is nice. Didn’t like having to go outside to do laundry. Had an issue with the primary bathroom and Vacasa came same day to fix the issue.

Ideally located, beach getaway

It was myself, husband and 2.5 year old son who stayed at the property. The pool, proximity to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and ice cream shops couldn't have been any better. The house itself has some serious wear and tear though. Although I believe the cleaners did a great job, the condition/cleanliness of the furniture, and wear and tear on the house made it feel a little uncomfortable and dirty. We ate in for every meal and felt the kitchen was sparsely stocked, but we made due with what was there. We made the screened in porch our living space which was nicely furnished and comfortable, so we just didn't use the interior unless we needed it.Overall, the location couldn't be beat and the pool was wonderful, which made it a very enjoyable vacation.

Great place for family of 4!

The Mangrove Cottage was perfect for my family of 4. Great location to the beach! Backyard was like our own tropical oasis! We loved the pool!! Comfortable beds! Hot water lasted a really long time with no issues of running out (4 baths/showers, dishes and laundry on same evening). I enjoyed the sitting in the screened porch in the mornings drinking my coffee. Washer and dryer worked really well. House cleaning staff could have done a better job, but it wasn't terrible. The dishes could definitely use a good cleaning. We bought paper plates/bowls so we didn't use a lot of the dishes, but anything we did use needed washed first. Overall great stay!! We would definitely stay here again!!

Awesome spot!

We had a great week! The house is very dated, but the pool and proximity of the beach are outstanding. Sweet little side street. Super comfortable, the kitchen we well outfitted. The back yard made the week for us. Morning shade and afternoon sun, elongated our outside time w kids who loved switching between ocean and pool! Only caveat is that it’s not managed by an owner but by Vacasa and that ended up meaning that if you need anything addressed beyond cosmetic /cursory, you’re out of luck. I didn’t notice that detail and I would look to avoid it in the future. We had planned/shopped to use the grill, based on the house features listed. When we got there, shopping completed, it was literally falling apart. Beyond usable…and clearly had been like that for some time. We tried to reach out to have them replace it, but vacasa could only swap the propane tank— and had no way to contact the owner. Not a big deal, a quick walk to the beach and who cares about a broken grill…, but was a bummer to cook burgers and steak on a rental electric stove top. In chatting w neighbors and other renters, the Vacasa prop mgmt has some specific pros/cons— make sure it works for you!

Awesome Location - Awesome House!

This house on Anna Maria Island was a perfect vacation. The island is obviously still recovering from hurricane damage, but in a way that probably made this stay better. It was super quiet - even with construction going on - which was expected. This house has an awesome backyard with the privacy fence and pool. The pool was heated, and although cold first couple days because I'm sure they had just finished filling it for us, the last several days with it were really nice! The beach is literally a house away, and the path you walk to the beach is super pretty with like a tree tunnel you go through before coming out at the beach. Love that there is a walkway right at the beach entrance where you can basically walk the length of the beach down to where there are a couple restaurants and general store, and I'm sure usually a lot more things open, but again - hurricane damage. I can easily see this place being very active and busy if everything was open. Many properties were clearly nowhere near ready to open back up, but very happy this house was available. It had a starter of everything you need - laundry soap (never used washer/dryer so can't comment), dish soap and dish washer tabs, soap, cream rinse, shampoo and a couple rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. We got groceries on the way in at the Publix just 8 minutes from the house. They had plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Basic seasonings and coffee filters would have been nice for the coffee maker. Overall - very nice!
