Excellent Stay!

The property's charm and cozy atmosphere were exceptional. To enhance the guest experience, we suggest considering the addition of a small pool or jacuzzi, ideal for relaxation after a day at the beach. The location is excellent. We will definitely return even without a pool.

Sometimes when you rent a property, it really doesn't quite look the same as the pictures. Rum Dog was spot on! It was nice to stay a week in a clean, well maintained property just a short walk to a beautiful beach!

Great Location

We loved our stay at Rum Dog! It was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and close to Holmes beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals. The beds were comfortable. The showers were nice. There were plenty of towels and blankets. We loved sitting outside to eat all of our meals. This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Rum Dog was the perfect size for our family of three. We look forward to staying here again.

Excellent Stay!

This was our first time at AMI and we have already begun planning our next visit! The wonderful rental was icing on the cake. Everything you need for your vacation is there! The home was super clean upon arrival, the beds were comfy, and the A/C was cold! What more do you need? Sea Breeze was great to work with and promptly answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Sea Breeze and the Rum Dog property to anyone visiting AMI!

Excellent Stay!

Rum Dog is an excellent location from the beach and a trolley stop. (Just across the street) The accommodations were great! The only thing I would add is a window covering for the kitchen door for privacy as it gives view into living room which has a pull out bed. I made the suggestion to SeaBreeze. The bedrooms are great sizes along with the bathrooms. The outdoor shower is great and there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, beach toys and a wagon to carry all of them in! The place was clean and there were 3 doors to get in and out of the property and plenty of parking. I have not been disappointed with staying at any of SeaBreeze Vacation Rentals. Looking forward to my next vacation.

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus in Strandnähe!

Wir haben uns im Rum Dog extrem wohl gefühlt. Das Objekt ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und auch sehr gut ausgetsattet, incl. vieler Strandutensilien! Das einzige was und gefällt hat, waren bequeme Sitzmöglichkeiten für draussen für mehr als 2 Personen (z.B. Lounge Möbel)!

Rum Dog was welcoming and clean, and surprisingly larger than the pictures show. It is stocked with any appliance or dish you would need. The patio made the perfect place to enjoy dinner outside, and the clean outdoor shower is the perfect way to finish your day at the beach (only a short walk away). I would definitely stay again.
