Truly enjoyed this wonderful vacation home. The house was spotless and the large pool area beautiful n private. Great accommodations for multi generations as primary suite on 2nd floor away from 1st floor. Large open spaces ideal for a larger group. There was only the two of us but would highly recommend it to larger families or groups of friends. The location is perfect. 5 minute walk to a spectacular beach and 15 -30 minute walk to restaurants including 5 ice cream parlors n shops. Love the residential feel of Anna Maria; away from commercialism n condo developments.

I researched many, many properties before committing to this one for a week. The location is perfect. We rented a golf cart & went from driveway to parked 50 feet from beach in three minutes. The house is very spacious, clean, with modern-looking furnishings. Decorator has great taste! Pool & hot tub were such a bonus! I can't emphasize enough how great the communication was with Susan & the other ladies at Anna Maria Life. You can reach them via text, phone, or email. I liked washer/dryer being in large garage. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, toys. Kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, silverware, dishes, etc. Additional fridge/freezer in garage. Internet service is super-speedy. Large tvs in all three bedrooms plus a huge one in living room & mini-living room. All have ROKU/Hulu/Neflix/etc. Nice touch with new games, books, puzzles. Landscaping makes the area very private. Alarms on all outside doors. I love the layout of the home! We are already looking for dates we can return to Glory Days!

Wonderful home and location—clean, steps from the beach, trolley stops and a park with a basketball court and pickleball court. Peaceful home with great layout. Short walk to shopping, dining and rentals on Pine St. Host was super responsive when grill ignition was broken and had someone out the next morning for service. Even after new part came in, ignition switch still did not work, but friendly technician provided a lighter for manual lighting of grill and we only had to pivot on dinner plans the first night. After a storm, a gentleman returned to clean debris out of pool without us requesting—super thankful for that. Garbage and recycling crews brought cans back to side of house. Just a wonderful family vacation for all ages. Would definitely return!

Beautiful property, beautiful area

The house is exactly as pictured and advertised, it was a fabulous vacation home. The house is decorated very nicely and has all the things that you might need. They even have beach supplies and coolers for you to avail of during your day. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach, but with a backyard as nice as this one you barely needed to leave. We loved our stay, the hosts were very easy to get in touch with, and were very helpful.
