The property was clean and very welcoming, the location of the property also in a great spot very close to the beach and a very big outdoor space with a big pool as well.
Loved the pool and the quick walk to the beach. It was a short drive to get to the grocery store or a short walk to take the shuttle. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a very enjoyable stay. We recommended some cosmetic changes but overall this property is clean and comfortable
Loved the living room couch !!!!! The beds are also comfortable …
Our family had a great week! The pool was awesome, location was awesome! It was a short walk to the most beautiful beach! It had everything you would need! Downstairs area had a sofa bed that was perfect for our teenage daughter and her friend within steps to the pool! We highly recommend!

This place was very nice. The pool is great and it's not too far from the beach.
Everything was wonderful! The house perfect
The location perfect, the beaches & water beautiful
The pool wonderful
Only thing we did not realize is that the beautiful beautiful island of Annia Maria was SOOO crowded with people!
We had a great stay. Unit was just as advertised. Private pool was awesome!! Lots of stairs so I wish I wouldn’t have broke my leg about 6 weeks ago. We had a blast though! Beach is right down the street!! Would recommend this place.

This is our third time staying at this location, and it never disappoints. It is close to the beach, has its own pool, and plenty of room for a large group. Will look to stay here again next year.

The house is 4 minutes from the beach. The beds are very comfortable. There are lots of beach accessories. We would love to come back
Since 2008 we spend twice a year our holiday on Anna Maria Island. We never had such a perfect holiday home. Freshley renovated, everything brandnew, tasteful decorated, well equipped kitchen, good working electrical items, warm and big pool, close to the beach, quiet and nice neighbourhood, etc. etc.

This is the second time we have rented this place. It is very nicely furnished, has a large private pool and is a short walk to the beach. It is centrally located on the island, which makes getting places easy. Definitely a place we would recommend to friends.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family group of six stayed for a week during March. We were drawn to the location near the beach and private pool. These amenities can't be beat and the pool area was spacious and private. The house was clean and updated from the photos, which was a nice surprise. The only disappointment was that the pull-out couch described in the lower den was actually a small leather futon. This was not large enough for my two children so we purchased an air mattress that worked ok for the short trip. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys which was awesome. Overall, our stay was a great value and we would definitely stay again.

Seamless check-in, good communication with rental company. This is a very clean home, stocked with an abundance of necessities throughout. We had no concerns, but felt that if we had any, that they would’ve been quickly addressed by the rental company and/or the owners Andy and Angie. Beautiful, clean pool and outdoor area. Perfect selection of pool and beach items such as chairs, wagon and toys.Comfy beds.Quick walk to the beach. We had no issue with the spiral staircase and actually the kids loved it. Would highly recommend this property.
We had a fantastic stay at *A Wright Place* on Anna Maria Island! The location couldn’t be better—just two short blocks to a beach access point, making it super easy to enjoy the ocean anytime.The home was clean, beautifully updated, and smelled fresh when we arrived. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, utensils, and everything needed for cooking or grilling. The master bedroom bed was very soft and comfortable. Our adult kids found the twin beds a bit firm and wished they were XL length, but they’d be great for younger guests.The saltwater pool and surrounding area were a highlight—peaceful, beautifully landscaped, with both sun and shade and lots of seating. It really felt like our own private oasis. The outdoor shower and privacy gate made coming back from the beach easy, and the laundry room was well-stocked with beach gear like chairs, toys, and even a volleyball.There are a number of stairs, including a fun spiral staircase connecting the main level to the pool and laundry area, which worked well for us but might be a consideration for others.The management company was friendly, responsive, and checked in throughout our stay. We’re already talking about planning our next visit!

Peaceful, good location, nice pool, clean.The spiral steps, were difficult going down to the laundry and pool area.I would upgrade the mattresses in the twin bedroom. and I would also get more comfortable furniture for the living room. Overall, we had a very nice time the owners live next-door, same building. We had an event in the sink in the bathroom and they fixed it for us right away. And we loved the walk to the beach, that was our main attraction and our dog had a lovely stay as well. Anna Maria Island is a lovely place to visit and stay very peaceful and quiet and safe.

We've been renting the Wright Place since at least 2002, even refer to it as "our" Florida-Home ;-)Once we left passports and called the agency on our way to the airport. They came and brought our passports halfway to Tampa! I think that says it all. Best rental agency ever! Pros:*lots of pool/beach toys, wagon, beach chairs (this time we left 3 bodyboards for fellow guests)*beach towels, hairdryer*nice new well-equipped kitchen*laundry area with new washer/dryer*neighborhood quiet, residential*short walk to beach*owner on-site, super nice and helpfulCons:* saltwater pool (we liked the sweetwater much more)* thick foam pad on the bed made it way to soft* stairs to appartement and spiral stairs* we rented Sat to Sat but on Friday the pool was cleaned and we couldn't use it til night

We've rented many houses on AMI and this one had the best pool area. It was spacious, clean and very private. The unit itself was nice. We appreciated the updated kitchen and one updated bath (which isn't shown as updated on the website so it was a nice surprise.) The other bath definitely needs some attention. The bedrooms were a good size and it was nice to have large closets and plenty of hangers. The bureaus need to be replaced as they seem to be antiques and we were afraid to use them too much. The top drawer in the twin bedroom was unusable. We made good use of the nice beach chairs, wagon and pool floats. The washer and dryer are newer and came in handy so we could return home with clean clothes. There was definitely a musty odor in the lower level and was trying to be disguised with a strong air freshener. We met the owner once and she was nice. The rental company was very attentive. The cable stopped working on our first day there and the cable company came out within a few hours to replace the box and remote on a Sunday. We will definitely consider renting this house again. Overall we had a great spring vacation.
Fantastic location—everything was just minutes away by golf cart, which made exploring so easy and fun! The bed was super comfortable, and we had a great stay overall. While the home is a bit dated and could use a little extra cleaning in spots, it didn’t take away from our trip. We’d definitely stay here again!
