The rental was cozy, clean, and very comfortable. It was wonderful to wake up each morning and enjoy a cup of coffee on our dock overlooking the bay. The peaceful setting made our stay especially relaxing. The host checked in via phone during our stay to make sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. We would definitely return!

Great little home on the bay away from the busy tourist areas

We had a wonderful experience at this little home. Enjoyed our view of the bay right outside our door, so peaceful. It was in a quiet neighborhood away from the busy tourist area but close enough that we could hop in our golf cart and be there within minutes. We even had a dolphin visit us one morning. The dock was still missing from the hurricane, hopefully they will rebuild it at some point. Would definitely stay there again.

Waterside Paradise

This house is absolutely darling. It was immaculate with all new everything! The location is perfection, quiet and serene. Such a great area for walking. We had a slight issue that was taken care of immediately. Customer service was top notch. I can’t wait to stay at this darling little waterside house again.

We had a wonderful holiday here. Loved the calm quiet canal. Saw wildlife and even watched the rescue of a manatee right in front of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Would suggest a keurig. Makes coffee much easier to make and less cleanup Just a few issues with the unit that need to be addressed. The slider is very difficult to open and close. The ceiling fan in the primary bedroom was too noisy to use. Thank you for an easy check in and out.

Cute place in need of maintenance. Simple things like shower curtains ..they were moldy & we found some old gummy candy in the couch cushions. The rental company was awesome to work with so no issues there. The bay view is wonderful. Golf cart community was fun and we really enjoyed the beaches.

Idyllic Waterfront Getaway: Serenity Meets Convenience

Our stay at this waterfront rental was fantastic, offering the perfect setting for our first island trip. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, yet conveniently close to the beach, dining, and attractions by golf cart or car, the location couldn’t be better. Despite a minor hiccup with the back door alarm, which led us to use the front door and enjoy a scenic walk to our covered porch and beautiful waterfront dock, our experience was seamless. The cozy and comfortable bed ensured restful sleep, making our accommodation ideal for relaxation and recharge. In essence, this rental is a gem for those seeking tranquility with easy access to island adventures. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

Great location. Property smelled like cat urine but we understand that this is a pet friendly location. We bought new plugins to manage the smell. A few ants in the kitchen but mostly clean. Shower curtain needs to be replaced in guest bathroom (moldy). The lock was tricky but we replaced the batteries after calling help desk. Overall, we would recommend to others.

This property, the dockside, reminded me of growing up on Marco island. It was lovely. I do recommend that someone pay more attention to the poor plants around the house. It’s been neglected for too long. The old sliding glass doors to the back porch and to the dock are extremely difficult to open and close. The master bath has a slight septic smell. There was an air freshener plug in, but it was used up and empty. The disposal does not work and is seized up. Everything else was awesome and the neighbors and neighborhood were very peaceful and quiet. We would love to come back. Easy walks to the beach and piers and to the trolley. Thanks

Staying four nights at Anaa-Maria-Isalnd

Overall, everything was ok for my four-day stay and cleanliness was at a high level. Individual points worth mentioning: - Adapt access data for WIFI access in the information folder. - top: The availability of the small transport trolley - a small beach umbrella would have been desirable
