The heat did not work in the house and the temperature in our room at one point was only 59 degrees. Our rental was from Saturday to Saturday and the system was not fixed until Friday, the day before we left. The rental company did bring us space heaters which were greatly appreciated.

Our group enjoyed an all gals gathering to celebrate multiple birthdays. The house was fantastic, large enough to accommodate the eight (8) of us with plenty of areas to spread out, but also "intimate" spaces to gather together. Very clean. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with accessories. Balcony on 2nd floor and rooftop deck on 3rd floor were used A LOT! Access to the beach was primo-literally steps from the house. Game room saw heavy rotation with both pool table and shuffleboard table action in the evenings. Had a minor issue with the elevator that was fixed immediately. Shout out to Rachael and Larry from Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals for taking care of it so quickly. Enjoyed being at the northern end of the island. We rented bikes and used them, as well as walking a good bit, to explore AMI. Excellent food and atmosphere at the Ugly Grouper and Ginny & Jane E's Cafe. And we had a crazy cool experience riding horses IN THE BAY with C Ponies-highly recommend!!

This VRBO was one of all-time favorite properties, if not my favorite! The house is absolutely beautiful and the location was so close to the beach and all of the cute local shops and restaurants! Everything was a two minute golf cart ride away. The backyard pool, putting green and grill were great, the game room was so fun for the family, and the balconies were perfect for the amazing sunsets and family time. We needed assistance with a few things during our stay and the team was SO responsive. I was thoroughly impressed. I have no complaints about this property or the area. I would love to be back. However, I would imagine someone will snatch up this amazing house to make their forever home. I wish that I could. I LOVED it!! Thanks for making this such a memorable trip for our family of six.

Incredible Home! Amazing Location!
Absolutely loved our stay at this home. Not only is it gorgeous inside and out, the proximity to the beach is incredible, and the backyard/game room is a blast. Our whole family fell in love with this home and we will be back. Perfect stay for the 6 of us, with myself and my wife, along with four kids ages 6-15... plenty of space and fun games to play. 30 seconds to the beach, along with a cart, umbrella, toys, etc... it could not have been any better for us. Thank you - and we hope to be back soon!

Awesome house
This property was amazing! Just as described! We were amazed at the cleanliness. The best house so far. We placed a call to maintenance because one of the exhaust fans was dripping water and the staff responded very quickly. The walk to the beach was very short! The pool and game room were fabulous! Hoping to go back to AMI and Sea Creatures Cottage!

Great home steps from the beach!
Beach house was just as described and photos are very accurate. Enjoyed cooking on vacation as kitchen is well equipped. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. Walk to pier was 1 mile and walk to pickleball courts about the same! Loved AMI and look forward to visiting again.

Great stay!
Stayed here with my husband and friends (and 2 babies <1). Had an amazing time, the place is huge/everything felt brand new. It had all of the amenities you could need. Very short walk to the beach and about .5 miles to all the shops on Pine. Would recommend this place to anyone and hope to stay here again next year!

First visit
Lovely home and equipped fabulously. Would return for sure
A few suggestions; bedspreads are very heavy, a railing would be nice to get in and out of pool, a bathroom on pool level would be a great addition to avoid going in house wet, and one bathroom should be equipped with handicap bars.
