Great location to the rod & reel pier

Great AMI Location

This property is spacious and ideally located. It’s an easy walk to the beach and the Rod & Reel Pier. The backyard pool area is beautiful. There are four bedrooms so it’s a great place for families. Everything we needed was provided and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Great and comfortable home within walking distance to the beach

Very comfortable and spacious home for a family of 8 adults. Very well equipped kitchen! Within walking distance to beach, which is not crowded at all due to it being in the North point location. I would consider renting it again.

Girls trip

We were a block from the beach and closer than that to the pier. Our trip started years ago with just myself and sister. Gradually we added daughters, nieces daughter in law and niece in law. We are up to 8 most years, sometimes just 7 of us. Every year we pick the next destination. We are all so glad we chose this one this year. In fact several mentioned that they would do this trip again some year. Same place. The pool was such an added bonus. We could walk to the beach, walk to the pier, or just relax by the pool. We loved it! And Kate was a real pleasure to deal with. We will definitely do this again some year.

Swing and a miss

This is my family’s 4th year in a row coming to Anna Maria and we have stayed at different houses each time. We loved the location to Bean point and the backyard was amazing. The things we didn’t love was the cleanliness of the property. The kitchen’s wood flooring was buckled and big gaps that was not friendly to the kids toes and when going to use the coffee pot, I had to clean the pot of the coffee left in it. The bathroom tub was visibly dirty and the sheets in one bedroom did not fit. For the amount you pay and a cleaning fee I would have hoped to walk into a nicer place.

AMI with the girls, 2024

The positives: Great location! Just a block from the Rod & Reel Pier, walking distance to City Pier and shopping-and of course the beach! The home is cute, older place, grandfathered I'm sure. Nice kitchen and bedrooms with comfortable beds. We snacked at home a lot-there were supplies in the kitchen, but no salt/pepper or spices of any sort. Plenty of parking! My major complaint was about the pool. Upon arrival, it was very dirty with debris. The pool vacuum was on, but spitting dirt and debris right back in from the filter. I notified the owner and management company right away and was told they knew about this and were waiting on a new filter. Problem was that I was never notified and we were not able to use the pool the entire time we were there. I also notified the pool technician per protocol, but he vas on vacation and had no backup. He did have a friend stop by who knew nothing about pools and came at 9:30 at night (we almost called the cops). The management company admittedly knew about this and nothing was done. We are working on some kind of compensation, but we paid for a house with a pool and did not get what we paid for. Our group managed to have a lot of fun. Just disappointed about the pool-and boy, it was hot! We just spent more time at the beach! Thank goodness the air conditioning was working!!

The location is amazing. Check in and out was super easy. We had plenty of space for the 6 adults we had on vacation. The only down fall is the starter supplies. We were left one garbage bag and one toilet paper roll per bathroom. Just update your welcome email to advise how many is left so we could have been better prepared and brought our own.

The house was great. We really enjoyed the location. Having the heat pool was a nice bonus. The kitchen was well equipped. It was nice and clean. There were a few things that could use an update from a renters view the master bedroom mattress (which is were we slept) could be upgraded the other bedrooms had nicer and much more comfortable mattresses. The patio furniture also should be upgraded the table and four chairs are old. The plastic picnic table is falling apart. The lounge chairs were good. Having the grill was really nice to have to cook on. I don’t want to sound critical but they were the things that we noticed. Over all it was a great place.
