Great family rental

The house was great for our family of 5! The kids enjoyed the game room and pool. Furniture and beds were comfortable! Loved the Bean Point area!

Place was perfect. We loved it and want to reserve next year if possible! I would like to really thank Cheryl for pulling a rabbit out of her hat and finding us the perfect replacement to Fish Stix. Thanks again Cheryl! You handled our situation like you had a real vested interest in making sure you found us another place. We really appreciate that. Thanks again!

Beautiful home within walking distance to the beach

The home was beautiful and within walking distance to Bean Pointe. Home was clean and provided all the basics we needed for our stay. The extra beach supplies that are pictured were disappointing. The beach chairs were broken— wish we would have inspected them prior to dragging them to the beach. The only other concern is how slippery the game room floor is besides the pool. My 4 year old took a few spills just walking on the floor—it turns into an ice rink if it gets wet. Overall though, we had an amazing time and loved our experience on Anna Maria Island!

Great house and location, but the pool has issues

We spent a week in February at Meant to Be and really enjoyed the house itself. It was well-stocked, very clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. The north-end is our favorite part of the island and being within less than a 3 minute walk to Bean Point was great. Unfortunately though, the pool at this property has issues. It has a substantial leak and the water level would drop roughly a half-inch every hour or so. Ok, it's ordinarily not a big deal to turn the hose on and re-fill it (which I was doing constantly), but the bigger issue was that the water would drop so much overnight that by morning there was not enough water flowing into the skimmer that the pump would make the loudest noise as it struggled to get enough water. This meant I was up at 5:45am refilling the pool as the noise was awful. After a few days of this and two visits from maintenance, they turned the skimmer off which fortunately stopped the early morning noise, but it did not keep me from my duties as pool-filler for the rest of the week. Obviously this pool must have had issues before we arrived, but there was no mention of it. In hindsight, the hose being in the pool when we checked-in was a bad sign. The fact that there were known issues that a guest would have to figure out on their own and deal with on a daily basis feels a bit shady to me and did not leave me with a great impression of Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals. Someone needs to fix with the issue, as it's not right keep quiet and make the guests deal with the challenges.

The Perfect Beach Rental

Our family of 5 stayed here & it was absolutely perfect for us. It has a very cozy, beachy feel to it. Very clean, bright & open floor plan. The beds were incredibly comfortable & the house was stocked with everything we needed and more. Our 3 boys loved the basketball game in the game room as well as the arcade machine. The location was great & in close proximity to bean point. We loved the privacy of the pool/hot tub which provided shade being under the deck. Beautiful landscaping, bamboo & palm trees made for a very relaxing feel. I couldn’t have loved this house more and we will definitely be back. I give it 5 stars!

This home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was a perfect house for our family. We had a few maintenance issues during our stay however the management company was very responsive and had the issue resolved quickly. The only issue outside of the home was the property on each side of the home had some remodeling going on and the sawing noise was annoying while we were using the pool or sitting on the deck. Hopefully the remodeling will be done soon and it won't bother the future guests. Overall we definitely would stay here again.

Great location!

This property fit our family of 6 perfectly. It was a short walk to bean point beach and the rod & reel pier. The game room was an added bonus and gave us extra room to relax. Hot tub was a nice bonus

Nice property, close to Bean point. Instructions specific to the house would have been nice. They were generic instructions. Otherwise, everything was great.

Family Vacation

First, the rental agency was amazing! They were very thorough with emails, phone calls, questions or concerns we had. Best agency we have rented from in the 12 years we have been vacationing on Anna Maria. Second, the house is beautiful! Lots for my teens to do when just hanging out at the house. I would say the pool, downstairs TV and gaming area is where my teens spent most of their time when they weren't fishing or at the beach. Both the sun porch and the screened in porch were such a delight to sit on and enjoy the beautiful weather. The pool is small, but it's perfect for after a day at the beach. The house is beautifully decorated and very coastal cozy. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. Cons with the house... Lot's of beach parking around the house since it's on a corner lot. There is thick landscaping, but you can still hear the people parking, talking and getting in and out of their cars. The kitchen needs more storage supplies, food platers and party drink containers. The playroom needs a trashcan, clock and a mini fridge. A rug at the front door would be helpful to keep sand out of the house. Rugs in the bedrooms would be nice as well. Having something soft to walk on to breakup the tile would add comfort. We loved this house. The only thing that would keep us from renting it again would be the public beach parking around the house.

Great home, easy walk to beach and Rod & Reel

4 adults + 2 adult children stayed for 3 nights (Wed-Sat) during March 2023. The house itself is excellent and well furnished. Plenty of parking. Tons of well-thought entertainment for all ages at the house, we really enjoyed it. Screened in porch is great to unwind in the morning with coffee or at day's end. Kitchen appliances are first class, and the bathrooms are modern and clean, however there is no 1/2-bath powder room. We loved the location and the easy/quick walk not only to the beach but also the opposite direction to Rod & Reel on the bay side for beers and lunch. Management company communication was excellent...until it wasn't. On Friday afternoon within a 2 hour span we had to endure an HVAC maintenance visit, the pool cleaner who dumped chlorine in the pool, and then the landscapers who ran loud gas-powered leaf blowers and got leaves and dirt into the pool that the cleaner had just taken care of. It was unbelievable that we had to endure that on our last day at the property. Keep in mind that we were checking out Saturday morning, so all 3 of those service calls could have easily been scheduled on Saturday when NO ONE would be there except the house keeper. It was simply easier for the management company to do it on a Friday so they did. I called and complained and was basically blown off. I was promised a call the next day or Monday at the latest and unsurprisingly it has been nearly 2 weeks later and I still have not received the promised call.

"Meant To Be" was great!

A short walk to the beautiful Bean Point beach. Then, after a day on the beach, come back to the nice sized pool to cool off and chill. The game room was nice too. Two recommendations for the game room would be ceiling fans and a refrigerator. The house itself was large, updated with beach type decor throughout which added to our wonderful trip! I would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay for vacation. Thanks!

Review by the BT’s

First off the name of this place should be changed to “Bean Point Beach Oasis!” It’s so close to that awesome beach that we really didn’t feel the need to hang out on any other beach (although we did go check them out.) This house was absolutely perfect for our party of (6) 21+ year olds. The back yard with the little pool and hot tub was perfect for us to relax in after spending the day at the beach and cruising the town with the golf cart we rented. Also it was great at night and the lighting back there on the palm trees and in the pool area was really top notch for a nice ambience every night. We even watched a couple NBA playoff games from the pool and hot tub thanks to the awesome garage play-land that opened up directly to the pool area and backyard patio area. The inside of the house was perfect too with the open kitchen area and giant center island with 6 bar stools. It’s was also really nice to have the beach chairs, umbrella, wagons and cooler chariot! Those were life savers for the beach runs we made every day. It was real easy to communicate through IMs with the property manager as well. So close to the Rod and Reel pier as well so we saw the sunrise just about every morning from there. Anyway, can’t say enough great things about this spot so I’ll leave it with this, when we go back to Anna Maria Island someday, we will pick this same place again. It was perfect! Thanks, the BT’s (and we’re not easy to please :)

Amazing location

This was the most amazing location on the island. You are close to the bay and the beach. The beds are comfortable like everyone has mentioned. The game room was great for our kids with easy pool access. The pool size was disappointing so the kids swam mostly in the ocean. There are no extras in this house as far as cooking goes so be sure to bring or buy your own salt, pepper ect. Also, this is located at the top of the island so it takes about 15 minutes to get off the island. Great place overall!
