This is a fabulous property. It is in tremendous condition with all the facilities one could require - everything was very smooth including booking and check-in.It is reallynear the beach where we went every day. The beach itself was lovely and clean. The pool at the house was also lovely, very warm with a hot tub attached.This is a great venue and we would certainly go again.

Above it all is correctly named!

This house is beautiful, and is the most extensively furnished property we've ever stayed in, with not one but two full sets of matching dishes, two blocks of cutlery that were actually sharp, and all the pots, pans, and other cookware you could want. The house is very nicely furnished, beds are comfortable, and pool was always warm. The host, Anna Maria Life, were extremely easy to work with, and provided excellent communication. We've been coming to Anna Maria for 8 years, and this is the best house and best rental company we've ever worked with.

One of our favorites!

We have been coming to the island for 10 years and we have stayed at Above it All the past 2 of our 3 trips. We have traveled with 6 people and we have traveled with 10, and have had plenty of space. One of our favorite homes! The views from the rooftop deck are amazing, the home is in a quiet area and has everything needed. The kitchen is well stocked! Extremely clean, and the outdoor pool space is by far our favorite part, even with the more shaded pool, it is a much needed break from the beach, with it being just steps away. The pool table is a hit with our family of 6, we spend most of our time, between the beach and the pool area! You'll never want to leave! AMLV answered our every call, fixed a few toilets quickly, that needed new chains in the tanks! We will be back!

Best Island House Ever

Walking through those entryway doors knocked our socks off! We felt like movie stars immediately! And i never expected to love being in Florida in August, but the outdoor spaces were so amazing that I spent most of my time there: early morning coffee on the roof and stargazing at night, pool and beach swimming during the day (pool at night, too), and a big screen tv by the pool with a breeze for late night movie watching, too! This place was paradise! Totally unexpected! I was shocked by the gulf view from the rooftop, too--- the pictures don't do it justice--- the house is close and you see a lot of the big gulf! Breath-taking! The house is the best on the island, I'm sure, and the street is private and the gulf access is easy. This place is fantastic!

Beachy Beautiful Home

Above It All was an exceptional choice for our family of 8, which included 3 children. It is a short walk to the beach which was one of our criteria. The pool and hot tub area are very nice and we used them often. Although taking multiple suitcases up one or two flights of stairs was a lot, we felt it was safer with children, as their access to the pool took more time. The alarm took some getting used to, but, again, a good safety feature. The house is decorated impeccably with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cooking needs. Everything was clean and in working order. We LOVED the rooftop deck! The area was fairly quiet and well-maintained. My only suggestion would be to have some extra amenities, i.e. pool noodles, coolers/thermal cups for the beach, salt and pepper, extra dishcloths, and dish towels. We have stayed in other homes that provided these things, so maybe we are a little "spoiled". I realize there is a risk of items "walking off" but I think that risk is low for a house in this price range. That said, we would definitely stay at Above It All again! Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one!

Overall Great stay - small details would make it 5 star

We had 9 people staying in the house. My family of 4 with two children (5 and 7). The bunk room was perfect for them. My brothers family of 3 with one child (15) and my parents. We had plenty of space. The living, dining and kitchen space was great for hanging out. The outdoor space was awesome. The pool and sitting area with the TV was a favorite spot. We grilled a couple nights. There was no grill brush to clean it before we used it (that would have been nice) so we had to heat it up for awhile and scrape with other grill utensils. Also no oven mits so that made cooking a bit interesting. We just used the 2 kitchen towels provided. The middle bedroom on the main floor TV did not work. The wagon in the garage to take the beach stuff down was awesome to have. There were 4 umbrellas and we ended up only using 2. We tried to use one of the smaller ones and it was broken. We didn’t realize it was broken until we had gotten it down to the beach and tried to set it up so that was a little frustrating. Overall, we loved the trip but those little things fixed for the next crew would help make everything a little more convenient.

We had a wonderful two week stay at Above It All! The home was perfect for our group of two families! It was extremely clean, comfortable, and had so many extras that made our stay more convenient. The outside area is amazing and we found that we used it much more than any other home we have rented. The rooftop deck was the perfect place to watch a beautiful sunrise or catch the sunset if we weren't on the beach. It is a super short walk to the beach and the wagon and chairs were so nice to use. We would highly recommend staying at Above It All!

Family Vacation

This property and area of the island were very nice and laid back. Mostly rental properties but a few of the neighbors were full time residents. The amenities at the property were very convenient. Short walk to the beach and a short drive to all of the restaurants. We would stay here again in the future!

Family trip to AMI

We stayed at Above It All with our ten week old and both sets of grandparents. We loved our time. The location is on a nice quiet street that is close to a pristine and sparsely visited section of the beach. The house itself has a wonderful covered outdoor area. We were able to stay outside almost all of the day without getting sunburned. Everything was very clean upon arrival. We would definitely return.

Love Anna Maria island! The only thing I’d change about the house is I wish the pool was refreshing however it was a really hot week, we maybe should have thrown ice in. Also I didn’t know the pool was completely shaded, we would have liked to hang there more but it had no sun. Overall beautiful property and a wonderful trip!

Cleanest vacation rental ever!!

The home was IMMACULATE!!! A few houses down from the sandy beach making the walk over simple. We loved the classy decor of the home. Loved the beach wagon and chairs ( pulling the wagon into the garage each day after a long day at the beach was awesome)! The pool area was a dream! Fully stocked kitchen and so much more. The upper deck was our favorite place to sit after sunset. We sat up there on the 4th of July and had 360 views of the fireworks!! We had a maintenance issue and no joke he was at the house within 5 minutes of me calling!! Great home with great management team!!!

Gorgeous home, steps from beach!

We were multigenerational family of 8 - plenty of living space, bedrooms and bathrooms! Beautiful, well appointed kitchen. Fantastic outdoor space which we enjoyed every day. Steps from a beautiful beach! Would definitely return.

Multi Generational Family Fun

This was a superb property for our family. Visited with my parents, our 3 young adult kids and their significant others. Wonderful rooftop views, very close proximity to beach, amazing outdoor pool with tv, pool table and a multitude of outdoor seating. House is very nicely furnished and had beach chairs, beach carts, pool items, and everything We needed. Also, since we cooked often, the kitchen was more well stocked with cookware, dishes, and accessories than anywhere we have stayed, with plenty of indoor seating for eating and game nights. We had a group of 9 and never felt cramped or on top of each other. We stayed a few miles down the beach a couple years ago, but we were amazed at how much nicer the beach was in this area. Close proximity to all the fun island locations but on a quiet street and beach. This is a great house for a big group.

A gem few steps from the ocean

Location is fantastic. Really few steps from the ocean. The roof deck with spectacular view of the ocean. The heated pool, spa, and the hot outdoor shower is a winner. The layout of the rooms and kitchen is perfect for the family. The only negative though not a deal breaker is the dishwasher. Its dated and rusted and needs replacement. Also, it was listed as 5 bed/5baths. We only noticed 3.5 baths and an outdoor shower. Overall, this home and its location is perfect. Bring some citronella or other insect repellants because the mosquitoes by the pool are aggressive and will bite the crap out of you.
