Great property, great location close to the beach.

Great overall experience. The property is steps away from the beach and at a nice location very close to the entrance of the island. The pool and hot tub along with outdoor seating was great. We had issues with our A/C and an appliance, and property managers were very responsive to fix these issues during our stay. This property is right along the main road in and out of AMI, so there is a bit of road noise, but it didnā€™t negatively affect our stay.

One block to the beach which was awesome. The house is very nice with all the amenities. There was a problem with the hot tub and the maintenance staff worked very hard to rectify. The staff was excellent. Bathroom with each bedroom was nice so everyone felt like they had a suite. On a busy street with lots of traffic. Location to beach and all there is to do made that ok with us.

Met all our needs and wants!

As advertised, just steps to the beach and was nice to let the kids walk by themselves! The pool/spa were equally nice and provided hours of entertainment. Walkable location to nearby shops and grocery. (Free) Trolley stop right at the corner. SATO Real Estate responded to every question and need, and incredibly promptly (within hours!) The home was well designed and plenty of room.Yes, Gulf Drive is busy, but AMI is still recovering from Helene and Milton in certain areas. Merchants and restaurants were warm, welcoming and appreciative of folks shopping and dining. We would recommend this vacation spot! (6 adults, 4 kids, no pets)

Beautiful beach location house

Good location near beach, but busy street with emergency vehicles every so often annoying. Need to supply more necessities like toilet paper, paper towels, pods for dishwasher etc. Had start up problems of tv remote not working, garbage disposal, and toilets not working. Maintenance workers did show up to fix. Hot tub temperature too hot

Perfect Family Vacation

For Shore was perfect for our family of 9 (5 adults, 4 kiddos). The open living/kitchen/dining area was a great space for all of us at the beginning and end of every day. The bonus was how kid-friendly the furnishings were which eliminated any concern and worries having curious and touchy toddlers! The outside space (dining/seating/bar/pool) is great as well. The only miss this builder/owner had was not putting a bathroom in the garage space ground level. We hit a couple bumps at the very beginning of our stay, but Sato Real Estate was incredibly responsive to our issues and extremely accommodating. You may notice a review or two mentioned road noise - yes Gulf Drive is busy but it was never annoying or interrupted anyones sleep. A positive was that there is a trolley stop, both north and south, right outside the door. Yes, you can indeed see the Gulf from the balconies and itā€™s a mere 3-4 minute walk and youā€™re on the path to the beautiful beach. Thanks again Josh @ Sato,we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful house close to the beach

There were 8 in our group. 2 families of 4- kids age 9-16. It is off the main road but honestly it didnā€™t bother us. We didnā€™t sit on the porch much because it was too hot. You didnā€™t hear the noise inside the house. The house was plenty big enough for us. We had the starter packs to begin with. Publix and the dollar tree are super close if you needed anything. The beach is a block from the house. So 5 minutes and you are walking in the ocean! There is a spiral staircase that leads from the back door in the kitchen down to the pool. You can walk downstairs and there is a door that leads outside to pool too. Just wanted to add that just in case. We had no issues with it. The pool was amazing after coming back from the beach to chill. The hot tub was awesome too my husband would say the best part. šŸ˜ŽCheck in/out was simple. No crazy checkout rules. All in all a wonderful vacation and we all loved this house.

Great location and house with all amenities needed for the size of our family. Beds were comfortable. We had 1 issue with the sink and dishwasher but it was handled quicky and efficiently. We loved the pool and hot tub. We were impressed wirh the staff at Sato: from booking to check-out everyone was helpful, courteous and kind. AMI has been our vacation location for 5 years and For Shore is our favorite house! The staff at Sato are fantastic!

Perfect beach house

The check in/out was super easy! We flew in and stayed for a week. Having known what the house offered beach wise, would have been helpful. They had a wagon ( extremely helpful!), beach umbrellas and chairs, boogie boards and some floats. The house also had beach towels which was great. The kitchen had minimal utensils and dishes,but it was fine. Overall, the location was great with easy access to the beach. The pool was awesome also. It is off the main, busy road, so it could be loud as trucks came by at times. We really enjoyed our stay at For Shore!!

Enjoyed the home, location was excellent, 2 very short blocks to public beach access. Home was sparsely stocked and had to immediately grocery shop for minimum essentials including tp and paper towels. The only seasoning in the cupboards was 1/2 small container of ground pepper, so it was kind of a bummer to have to shop for everything to prepare any kind of meal in the home knowing we would have to leave everything or waste it after using a couple of shakes of salt or garlic powder. Outside of some minor inconveniences, we enjoyed our time on stunning Anna Maria Island very much!

Like the place alot

The stay was great . Only thing we noticed from last year to this year was we didnā€™t have many towels . Last year we had alot , this year we have 2 big towels per bathroom. We washed towels every day . Very few beach towels also. Kitchen was in good shape but we found it not to be as stocked with things as last year. We loved our stay and would stay again for sure .

The home was clean and was a few minute walk to the beach. The home had everything we needed, and was spacious enough for everyone. The pool and hot and outdoor seating were very nice to sit and relax. The home is located on the corner and the street is a little busy.
