Great spot on Anna Maria Island

We had a great stay at this property! We had plenty of room for 5 adults - the bedrooms are big. The living space is small, as accurately described in the listing, but is arranged very efficiently to feel bigger than it is. The heated pool was great! A short walk to the gorgeous beach plus a short walk the other direction to a Publix, CVS, and Walgreens plus several other small shops (don’t miss Holy Cow for ice cream!) We will definitely rent here again.

Adorable Villa great location!

The house (sail fish) was just as beautiful as the pictures. The location is perfect. We rented a golf cart from Beach Bums for the week and never used our car. Publix, cute diners and shops literally around the corner. Walking distance. The pool and back yard are beautiful. We spent our afternoons swimming in the pool and reading a book. We loved loved loved the house!!

Fantastic location and place!

Our casita was adorable; clean; and the amenities on property are fantastic! This is a small property with 8 places that share a wonderful green space (faux grass - the best); a pool; BBQ grills; and nice outdoor furniture. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed for everyone to have fun. The beach is gorgeous and the location is spot on because it is slightly out of the way so not over crowded like other parts of AMI beach. We are from Florida and have our own rental properties and honestly, this was a great setup - we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with our kids!

Fall vacation

The unit we stayed at was perfect for our little family of 3. The walk to the beach was only about 2-3 mins. The only thing that would have been better was if the unit had extra chairs or even offered an umbrella. The pool would have been better if it was cleaned daily rather than just 2 days a week. We did someone come by but they only tested the water, they did not clean it. My spouse cleaned it everyday when we used it. There was plenty of room outside and enough lounge chairs. Overall we would definitely stay here again. The unit was close to a grocery store. We enjoyed driving around the island and will be back next year.

Not enough comfortable furniture

Why would a vacation rental have a master bedroom bigger than the living/dining area? This was most definitely not big enough for 6 people. Yes it could sleep 6 but there was not room for 6 in the kitchen/living/dining area. We would not use this again.

Definitely will be returning!

The property lived up to the photos and description. Everything was clean, well maintained and modern. Plenty of room for a family of 5. High ceilings and bright interior. Even though there were a couple of other units sharing the pool, it really felt like our own private oasis. The pool is well hidden from the roads and very relaxing. We took advantage of the bar be que and outdoor dining table. There was easy access to the beach, which was just steps away and not crowded where we were. Plus we didn't have to worry about parking. There is a public access beach a few hundred yards up the beach with store, restaurant and outdoor bar. An easy walk to there as well. Plenty of other restaurants within walking distance and other amenities like groceries, coffee and beach stores. Plenty of other small, local stores and restaurants to explore at the north and south ends of the island. Five stars, five thumbs up. We'll definitely be returning to this location!

Great stay!

This property was great overall and we really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, it was a very close walk to the beach, the pool area was nice and relaxing and the management company was prompt about bringing batteries for the remotes. The only downsides were the lack of space for non -refrigerated food in the kitchen (a shelf or something would help) and the mattress in the 2nd bedroom on the bottom bunk sunk in a lot/wasn't firm. Overall we had a great stay and would return. thanks!
