Issues
We never had a washer that worked. Someone did come and work on the washer but when we did use it on Thursday evening stains were left on our clothes. Also, the dishwasher does not work properly. Was really disgusting when we arrived with food at the bottom of the dishwasher. Also, much sand was still on the floor when we arrived. We definitely left the house cleaner then when we arrived. I would like to talk to someone about these issues.

Cute place, not extremely clean
It’s been renovated, but I do find the dishwasher to have a certain smell and the sofa and arm chairs are stained pretty severely. The shower heads were pretty old, as well. It’s an ideal place if you just need somewhere to lay your head at night while frolicking around in the sun during day time.

Outright rental property
We have stayed in AMI for over 15 years. COVID greatly limited our usual rental options so we wanted to try something new. Anna Banana fit the bill in many ways - the pool and the location alone were worth the cost. But the house is not one of those where you know and actual person owns it and comes to stay there each year. It had all the signs of an investor property only- mismatched decor, the mattress was broken, the cleaning had not been thorough (baseboards and ceiling fans were filthy). Kitchen is not appointed with much. Severe lack of good linens or extra blankets and quality pillows. Other places that have actual owners who visit on their own have much more care and attention to the house itself. It was fine - and again location could not be beat. Property Management was top notch as well. Did all they could to replace the completely broken mattress. Not sure we would rent again, if the other rentals we lean on open up.

Easy Beach Getaway
Great small beach house, private pool is a plus, quick 1 minute walk to the beach. A large house is being built behind the property so privacy will be limited when completed.

Nice, but needed a good cleaning
We enjoyed our stay except for the black mold in the showers and bathroom floor and filthy rugs. The rental company had to come out 3 different times because we didn’t have enough hot water for an entire shower. We had to run the dryer twice to get a load of laundry dry.

Lovely house – great company to rent from
We really liked this house – Fir is a great little street if you want North End calm without being too far from Pine and the restaurants. The house was really cozy and the pool is good. All in all, we really liked the house and had a great time there.

We are coming back!
Anna Banana was the perfect place for our family of six. Location was great with close proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Just steps to the beach and a short walk or golf cart ride to Pine St. I think we only got in our car twice this week! We also loved having the option of the pool just outside the back door. We will be back!

Heated Pool!! Short walk to the beach! :)
We stayed at Anna Banana for one week with 3 small children under 5 years of age. The property was very well kept with a nice beach decor and modern vibe. The kitchen was fully stocked. We ate meals at home and we had everything we needed for cooking. The only items you will need to buy would be spices, paper towel etc. There was also an outdoor gas grill that we used frequently (the property manager told us that once we ran out of gas they will replenish the gas tank which was a nice gesture). Fridge was equipped with water and ice maker, a big plus considering the amount of drinks we consumed (again we had 3 children!). Two beach towels were provided for each bedroom. Each bathroom had one roll of toilet paper only so grab some on your way in at Publix (Publix has great assortments of fresh produce, including organics). Since we had 2 families staying in separate bedrooms, what was super convenient was the separation of the 2 rooms. One family stayed in the master (with a small child) while the other had a separate 2 bedroom “unit” with hallway and a bathroom. In this unit was also laundry/dryer machine. My favorite part of the house was by far the heated pool - our children splashed all day while we…well, consumed our drinks :) Also, the distance to the beach was 3 minutes. We would grab coffee at The Donut Experiment and take long stroll at the beach. The water wasn’t warm enough to swim in (not for the kids anyway) so having the pool was life saving. My least favor part were the mattresses in our beds - I would agree with the other reviewers that those need to be replaced. They were too soft and sagging so both my husband and I often woke up with back pain and slept poorly because we were sleeping in a hole. Overall, we had a great stay and would come back (if they replace the mattresses) :)

Great location and pool! Amenities inside the home were lacking.
Having been to AMI many times it was our first time at this property. The location was great!!! The pool was our favorite part! The kitchen was lacking anything for those who enjoy cooking - it was far too basic to serve our family of 5. No pantry items were made available (s&p, etc) We found ourselves eating out over cooking because it was unpleasant to pull off meals for our family. The other amenities could use improvement. For example the couch has lost all support in the cushions, the beds are soft and saggy and no house keeping supplies beyond a kitchen sponge, dish soap and hand soap were provided. (No trash bags, etc) while this sounds rather negative we did have a nice vacation. We are not sure we will come back to this property due to some of these factors and our experience at other properties in the Same price range.

Great House, Great Pool, Great Location
The house is in the perfect location. It is just under a block from the beach which gives you some time to shed some sand before getting back. The first impression of the pool is that it is small but we quickly realized that it's the perfect size for lounging in after a day in the sun. The house is decorated beautifully with all elements, from the walls to the comforters, working together. The king bedroom, twin bedroom, and both bathrooms are nicely sized; however, the queen bedroom is a little tight. The family room is tight as well, but, who goes on spring break to sit inside? We spent our evenings either at the beach or sitting around the pool. Regarding the kitchen, a few of the pots and pans could use a refresh but, overall, it was nicely stocked with everything we needed for the week. I would definitely recommend Anna Banana as our group really enjoyed our stay.
