Week in Paradise

House was decorated so nice with a beach vibe. Beds were comfy and tons of pillows. Pool was amazing! Very short walk to the beach. Took the trolley to explore, stops were so close to the house. Watched the amazing sunset from the beach every night. Was truly a week in Paradise ❤️

Walking on Sunshine

We enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the back yard. Very peaceful and private. I wish I could have lowered the air conditioning below 72• because it was still very hot and humid in September. We pretty much lived in the pool! I would definitely visit again, just in the cooler months.

Loved this house!

We really loved staying at this house! It was the perfect size for our family (6). It was just about a minute walk from the beach and very close to restaurants and shops. It was a very clean house and had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying there again!

Perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay at the property on Anna Maria Island. The location was perfect with a short and adorable walk to the beach. House had everything our family of 7 needed, plenty of comfy beds and a fully stocked kitchen. Valerie was a great contact, quickly taking care of a small glitch we had with the pool. Overall a perfect place for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely go back!

Lives up to its name

Very clean, well located, recently updated property. Comfortable beds, perfect private resort like backyard with nice size pool. Pool heating worked great even on the two <50 degree days. Perfect spot for a family. Only recommendations are minor- more kitchen ware, oven mitts, bbq grill needs to be cleaned and ignition repaired

Enjoyed Our Stay in Walking on Sunshine

The property was exactly as described online and we really loved it. The house is very spacious and up to date. The pool area is very lovely. There is a short one block walk to the beach. My only advice is to bring bug spray in case of mosquito issues when you visit this area. The house is located close to the grocery store and Walgreens. AMI was very easy to work with and we had no issues.

Much Needed Get Away after 2020

The house was a perfect size for our family of 5 and a very easy walk to the beach, which was initially a concern that I had. It is on the main road, so you would need to keep an eye on little ones, but they would love the pool. Kitchen could use some corning ware and pyrex containers and a few more pots and pans, but otherwise it was a beautiful home. I wish it was ours!!!!! 😉

Great Space and Backyard!

My family (daughter, son in law, 3 kiddos) enjoyed our stay at the house. The layout is great (all one level) with lots of open space and large bedrooms & bathrooms. The backyard makes up for the location which is on a very busy street and close to the road. However, when you enter the home and close the door you dont hear the noise and would not know you are on a main road. The backyard is very private, beautiful pool, lots of outdoor furniture, tiki bar area, great landscaping, etc. We appreciated the amenities such as ample towels, beach towels, plenty of dishes, beach cart and nice beach chairs, etc.. I highly recommend this home.

Great house

Great house and location. Lots of mosquitoes, but that’s Florida in summer. Definitely bring the bug spray, and some citronella candles. The house was very clean and the pool was very nice, though it looked larger in the pictures. Short walk to the beach, very convenient to restaurants. I would say the house needs more cookware. Cooking for six was a challenge with what was available. Definitely could use a larger frypan, and at least one large bowl. Other than that I would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous and Perfect!

Traveled with my family of 5, plus my parents. The house was gorgeous and fit us perfectly. We were so grateful when we immediately saw that the pictures actually were an accurate representation of the property. The pool was beautiful, and we loved having it. Even after we had an act of Mother Nature, involving some frogs, the property management took care of it immediately and we were back in the pool within a few hours. The house is a short walk to the beach, which was clean and such a relaxing place. Everything was just wonderful—clean, fun, functional. Truly the best of both worlds having your own pool, and having a short walk to the beach. Loved it!

Great location and quaint backyard

We loved the location…close to the beach! Not as clean when we arrived. Floor was dirty and there was no broom for inside or for patio (just a small one with dustpan.) We cleaned our front door windows and patio windows to see out better. We are charged a cleaning fee so thought it should have been cleaner. We felt like the humidity was not taken care of with the AC…mold issues on vents/front door and furniture felt slightly damp. (Owners might want to address so no major problems in future) Beach chairs outside were rusted and dirty so we could not take them to beach. We called maintenance for smoke alarm battery needing changed and low shower pressure, both were taken care of promptly. The patio alarm to disable every single time going in and out was annoying…I understand the safety aspect but we were all adults and wish there was a way to turn off during our stay. So many positives though!!! Location to the beach is great! We rented bikes and could ride safely off of the main road. Loved the updated decor, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. it was super cute beach decor! The pool was great and we used the available grill…The backyard is a little oasis that we enjoyed! Nice to have the washer and dryer and available beach towels! The property manager responded quickly to any questions or issues we had. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here!!!

Overall it was a good experience. The house was as expected. Could have been a little better appointed and kitchen could have been cleaner. But that being said the short walk to the beach was great. We bought and left two beach chairs because all but one was broken. It was a nice stay overall

Exceeded all expectations

Walking on sunshine was truly walking on sunshine! We had a week of perfect weather and the home exceeded every expectation! The house was exactly as it appeared, a beautifully decorated open space. The pool was pristine! The backyard was truly a private oasis! And the beach was the exact distance stated! So often this is not the case. The home was also in a very central location. We have rented many Vrbos in various locations. Hands down this was our favorite! The management company was truly the best we’ve ever dealt with. The only suggestion for improvement would be the alarm to the pool. Totally appreciate for child safety but would be awesome if could bypass if just adults staying there.

Great location, a little short of 5 star

Had a great stay in a great location with a pool. If you expect small condiments like salt/pepper/ketchup/wash powders, etc.. this place doesn’t have it. Grounds maint will show up unannounced. Be prepared to see some tree rats in the palm trees by the pool, Lol! Unexpected visitors. Other than that this place was great!

The property was just as listed.

We had a great time even though the weather was less than perfect. The walk to the beach was short and very easy. The bugs were awful! Our first night there we were swarmed by termites in the master bedroom! I really had a hard time sleeping for the next couple of nights. Had to wash the sheets and pillow cases. I called AMI who sent someone out a day later to confirm that it was termites and" welcome to Florida". Not much to do about that but thank goodness it did not happen again! It was so nice to have a pool to cool off in. The pool guy came twice to clean. The back yard is absolutely perfect!

Good

The property is nice and has a very cute decoration. A lot of towels, toilet paper, beach chairs, utensils in the kitchen to cook. The king beds are very comfortables. Smart TV in the living room and rooms. Very close to the beach just one block walking. Big enough for 6 persons. The only bad review I have to give is that the barbecue was not clean and the pool was a little dirty too when we arrived. Overall the cleaning is average.

Excellent!

This was a beautiful, well maintained rental property! We loved how updated and clean the house was. The private pool was our favorite! We have a 3 year old, and the busy street was not an issue. We always carried her to the car. Other than that we never went to the front of the property. We enjoyed the pool most of the time!
