The moment we walked in the door it felt like home. The house was clean, hand towels in the bathrooms were shaped into shells (like on a cruse), beach towels, suntan lotion, books, games, full kitchen, First Aide Kit also. Every detail was taken care of.
The house was well equipped and clean in a great location. The pool was warm and all the outside areas were comfortable with ample seating. We had a wonderful time and the hosts were very responsive when we asked a few questions We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
This was one of the best vacations we have had. A big part of that was this house. Very clean and updated with all that we needed. Our host communication was very clear, accurate and fast.Thank you for everything.
Great house, very clean and well equipped. Short walk to beach and also shops and restaurants on/around Pine Street. Owners are very responsive and helpful, would definitely look to return for another visit to AMI.
We enjoyed everything about this lovely property. Too many great things to list here but highlights are:location so close to beach, restaurants and shops, well stocked kitchen and beach chairs, wagon, toys, backyard is a haven for sunning, relaxing and swimming, screened porch is dreamy and house is well furnished. We will definitely return!
Everything was great! We enjoyed the pool, screen porch, location to beach and restaurants. The owners were friendly and easy to communicate with. We will be back for 2 weeks next time.
We didn’t want to leave! The house was adorable, very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. It was the perfect distance to walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The owners were easily reachable and responded immediately. Some of our favorite memories were swimming at the end of every day. We hope to be back! Thank you for an amazing week:)
Great vacation home equipped with anything you might need for fun and relaxation. Easy access to beach and nearby shops. Ideal for families . Stocked with games , beach and pool supplies. Immaculately clean and welcoming!
This property was absolutely perfect for our family , close to all you would ever need on vacation - The beach and shelling was amazing - the shopping was a walk away ! The House was PERFECT !!! The backyard was a slice of heaven !!!! Definitely planning our next vacation ;-)
Sapphire Surf is a great home to enjoy some time on AMI. The house has everything you need for a great stay and is in the perfect location. Beds are comfy, temperature was perfect and fans were a plus! Check-in was a breeze and all communications were exactly as needed.
The pool is a plus and the landscaping is great! Easy walking distance to the beach and local restaurants, ice cream and crepes! I look forward to staying here again.
My family stayed at the house for the second time because it met all our needs last year. Wonderful again this summer. We had two very young children with us. The short walk to the beach in the morning follow by afternoons at the private pool while the baby slept made for very relaxed, enjoyable days
Sapphire Surf is the absolute best home on AMI. Our second stay there and the hosts do such an amazing job making sure the house feels like a home. Well stocked kitchen - everything was clean and cozy.
Pool is perfect and the pool accessories they have make it easy to be relaxed and enjoy the sun.
Great location to everything too!
This is our second time staying at Saphire surf. This adorable 2 bedroom home is located on the north end of Anna Maria island close to the beach, shops, trolley stop, dining and the bay. It’s super clean, quiet, well stocked, and comfortable. The private pool is surrounded by island trees and plants. We love this home so much and have many fond memories here. We look forward to coming back here in the future. Highly recommend.
Overall a nice property, if a bit tired. The hosts were great and the location top notch. Master bath rather worn. Glassware not up to snuff, but we will definitely stay again.
Home had everything we needed an then some. Loved all the beach equipment. Didn't have to buy anything. Loved that there were fans for both rooms as both my spouse and i along with our daughter and her husband sleep with fans on. Beds were a bit hard. This is the most perfect location to reach everything within walking distance.
This was our 3rd time staying at Sapphire Surf and we are already looking forward to a return trip. Ramona and Mark make everything so easy. The home is well cared for. It is super clean, neat, organized and has everything you would need. The private pool was perfect for those hot days! The location is also an easy walk to the beach. So much to love about this home!!
Your home was all that we needed and then some. It was a nice break to get away from the rainy cool weather in New York. We had a wedding to go to and it was from walking distance so that was a plus. Never been to the west side of Florida before let alone the island. Beautiful and breathtaking. Thanks again.
The rental was exactly as described. Very clean and a nice set up including a great outdoor space and screened in porch. The house had 2 bedrooms, one was large with a walk in closet area that housed toys and a play area. The garage was stocked with everything to meet your beach and pool needs. The house was located within a short walking distance of the beach, coffee shops and good restaurants. Would definitely stay there again!
We had such a wonderful time at Sapphire Surf. The house was everything we needed and more! It has everything you need for the kitchen, the beach, and the pool. Our family of four, including our four year old and nine month old, stayed for five days and hardly wanted to leave. Hot tip, the huge walk in closet in the queen bed room works great for a little baby nursery! The houses location was wonderful too: walking distance to the beach (even for a four year old), walking distance to shops, and very private backyard. Thanks so much for having us! We can’t wait to come back.
This house was super cute and in a great location on the north part of the island. It was a close walk to the beach and the cute shops and stores. Mark & Ramona were great to work with and quickly responsive to any questions of concerns. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for accuracy of online listing is that it was hard to find the address in the information given to us. And it needs to be updated on Zillow. It still shows photos of the old house and no pool. Scared us a bit that we got the wrong house! We would definitely stay here again!
Overall the house was as advertised. The stove top was broken when we arrived but this was not the fault of the owners and we were notified immediately. The only thing that I think needs some attention is the dishes in the kitchen. There were several dishes that were dirty and we ended up washing everything we used before using it. The rest of the house was very clean and we liked being able to walk to the beach and to restaurants and ice cream places. We felt safe in the neighborhood as well. We also very much appreciated the early check in and late check out that were made available to us. That was really very helpful.
