Perfect stay on Anna Maria Island

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful Anna Maria Island rental! The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal-just a short walk to the beach and town. After a day in the Sun, we loved coming back to relax in the private pool.The town had plenty of great restaurants, and we also enjoyed the surrounding area for more dining options. This property is perfect for a couple or a small family. I visited with my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and 8 year old granddaughter, and everyone had a great time. The check in process was so easy and Ramona & Mark were very accessible for any questions that we had. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway.

The location to the beach and Pine Ave are amazing. This property has everything you need to have a great vacation. Beach chairs, umbrella, noodles, floats, skim board, boogie board and toys. The kitchen is well stocked. A fresh sponge and small bottle of dish soap are provided. Starter paper towel and toilet paper were also provided. There are extension cord outlets on each side of the bed so everyone can charge their electronics. The home was very clean and the hosts were great. You can tell a lot of thought was put into making sure their home would have everything you may need! The backyard is great and includes an outdoor shower. The screened in porch even has a fan for the hot summer months. We loved our stay here.

This is a wonderful location, completely updated, fresh, clean and inviting! The screened in porch provided a lovely retreat from the heat and occasional Fla rain. I can't say enough about the location; it's an easy walk to plenty of eateries, shops and the beach! We didn't need a car! We'll definitely be back!And I also appreciated the stocked kitchen of cookware and the washer/dryer. There were even games and water toys left for the kids.

Your home was all that we needed and then some. It was a nice break to get away from the rainy cool weather in New York. We had a wedding to go to and it was from walking distance so that was a plus.
