Awesome vacation

This property was wonderful. The management was so attentive to our needs and the location of the property was best on the island. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect home, about as close to the beach as you can be without paying obscene amounts to be directly on the beach. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor area very much.

Toes on the Beach

Honestly, our family had a great time. We wished we knew of this place sooner. Perfect location and place to stay. It was clean and beautifully decorated. Hopefully we can go again next year😊.

Perfect!

This is our third time in Anna Maria and this house was the best so far. From being an ample floor plan, clean and comfortable beds, perfect set up outside and the best quality kitchen ware. The location also can’t be beat.

Awesome place yet again

This is our second straight year staying in this house and it didn’t disappoint. We only had 5 people in our group but it could have easily slept 8 or more. House was clean and has all the great amenities. The pool is great and it’s a very short walk to get to the beach. We love this house and will stay here again for sure!

Location!

About as close as you can get to the beach without paying obscene prices to be beachfront. The house was about a 2 minute walk to the beach, and very close proximity to shops and restaurants. Location was fabulous. Only issue was bugs in the kitchen, which I'm hoping the owner will correct. Otherwise, the house itself was comfortable and well appointed. The pool area was wonderful…great place to cool off after a day at the beach. Highly recommend!

3 Stars

Great house close to the beach. Downside there is only 4 Beach chairs and no beach umbrella or cooler you are able to rent extra chairs and umbrella and purchased cooler that's what we did. Kitchen is not very well equipped. Had to buy frying pan the ones that are supplied Teflon is all scratched up. Grill has no accessories, spatula, and tongs. Fortunately we had other family members staying on island that we borrowed there's. No containers or Tupperware to store left over food in. If you plan eating out this certainly won't be a problem. Overall we had a great time definitely a great location. Would definitely recommend. 5 star If I didn't have issues

Perfect beach house

We were pleasantly surprised with how much space the house had (from the front of house it looks much smaller) but with 4 bedrooms & 3 baths it is quite roomy. Very clean with new updates and perfect walking distance to the beach, even shorter then if you were staying at a big resort. We rented a golf cart & had fun picking up pizza from pizza social (yum!) & eating on the beach, watching the beautiful sunset. The only suggestion I have is to change the alarm on the sliding glass door, I understand the safety & liability with having a rental pool but for guests who do not have young kids, it is a nuessence. It would have been a much more relaxing stay without having to worry about the alarm. Planting more trees along the fence to the neighbors would also be a good idea for more privacy. Overall it is a great rental, would recommend it to friends that aren’t looking for luxury but for a clean, well stocked beach house in a great location! We loved the low key vibe of the island & can’t wait to come back!

This was our first time to Ann Maria Island. It was perfect! Exceeded our expectations! We loved this home. It was perfect for our family. Super clean, great pool, beach accessories and awesome beach access. Close to everything you would want. Our family rented bikes and had a blast!! We needed propane tanks for the grill as they were empty. Called the rental manger and they came out right away and hooked us up. Can’t say enough good things about our stay. We will definitely be back.

Family Retreat

This was our first time visiting Anna Maria Island and it did not disappoint. The house was amazing! The location was great, very close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. The pool was awesome, made for great afternoon fun while grilling. We enjoyed it so much we already booked it again for next year. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Great Property

Great property and location, 1/2 block from the beach, easy walk to stores, restaurant. Would highly recommend this house. The only downfall would have to be the cleanliness, all tables had an inch of dust and floors were sticky. We had to clean the floors and wipe down all tables in the house.

Charming and relaxing

We found this house during a last minute search to plan an unexpected vacation. What s find! The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The driveway and pool have just been re- bricked, and the interior was spotless and well laid out for our family. The location was great- 50 yards to the beach in one direction, 50 yards to small shops and restaurants in the other. And the 10pm noise curfew was nice for us as a family. The management company was exceptionally responsive- we called to let them know the blender was broken- 15 minutes later a new blender was delivered to the door. All in all a wonderful vacation spot!

Perfect Stay During Tough Times!

Toes in the Water was the perfect getaway after spending months home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The house is very close to the beach, which makes it very easy to go back and forth if the beach is too crowded, or to enjoy it for just a quick dip. Every morning we went to the beach for walk, run or simply to have our coffee looking at the beach. The house is well equipped throughout and the pool is super nice, especially the in-pool table and umbrella! The location is also great for walking to shops, restaurants, and watersport rentals nearby. The house was clean, organize, and perfectly sized for our family of seven. The property manager, Anna Maria Island Accommodations, were beyond fantastic before, and during the rental. Every question, request, and/or repair needed were handled quickly and efficiently. Thank you for making this vacation perfect!

Island Time on AMI

Location Location Location 🏝️ This house is a MUST with a short walk to beach, restaurants and stores alike ! Love the layout of the bedrooms for our large family ! The pool , ping pong table and cornhole area are perfect for family entertainment . The ONLY reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the HVAC system . The largest room in the house only has two vents and with the sliding glass doors and the sun setting in the West are a perfect recipe for HEAT 😓 We had to put a call in to the after hours emergency number and was met back with a swift and prompt call to let us know someone would be out. The young man who arrived in a very reasonable time ,was extremely professional and worked efficiently and swiftly to get us cooled back off ! All in All a great house 🏝️ ☀️ 🌊

OK House; poor service

The location is fabulous. The house is ok--kitchen very small but well-equipped, some beds well past their prime. My complaint is with the company handling the rental. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom for a week long stay? No laundry detergent, one dishwasher tablet? A dining room table so sticky that clearing a plate after five minutes required some strength and no cleaning products in the house. Not even a sponge or dishcloth. We will never rent a property handled by this company again.

Lovely home, shame about the building work

The home itself was great. Comfortable bedrooms, lovely pool, great location. It would have been the perfect, relaxing end to our holiday. However, a couple of things let it down. A house is being built next door, we spent our days by the pool listening to a chorus of chain saws. We weren't told about this when booking, if we were we would have chosen somewhere else. Being woken up early and listening to building work all day is not fun. We were also shocked that, while lying by the pool, a group of gardeners entered the property with no warning. My 15yr old niece felt so uncomfortable surrounded by several strange men that she went inside. Some advanced warning would have been nice. If it weren't for these couple of things I would have given 5 stars.
