Exactly as described - charming

Our group of five ladies loved our stay and rarely left the house except to walk to the beach. The house is beautifully appointed with great attention to details. We did a lot of cooking and appreciated all the available kitchen amenities. Stephanie was very available to us if we had questions; she is an attentive host. We will be returning!

A wonderful trip to Anna Maria!

This house was perfect for our vacation with seven adults. The house was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with beach supplies, kitchen supplies, etc. Every detail was thought of. The private pool was wonderful. We used it everyday. The house is also extremely close to the beautiful beach. The owners were very quick to respond and answer any questions. It was a pleasure to stay in their home! I can’t say enough good things about it! We can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Perfect!!

We were impressed from the moment we pulled up to the house. It was exactly as described and just what we needed for our all adult family getaway. Each couple had their own bathroom, which is a huge bonus. The house was very clean and had so many thoughtful touches. We cooked several meals at the house so we were very appreciative of the spices and seasonings in the pantry. The host was super responsive and answered the few questions that I had. We will be returning to Ana Maria Island and would definitely stay at this home again!

Great family beach house.

This home was a perfect fit for our 3 generational family. Impeccably clean with high quality bedding and furnishings. Kitchen was well supplied with high quality dishes and cookware. Two refrigerators and icemaker. Pool was lovely and enjoyed by all. Safety alarms on slider doors to pool. Easy 5 min walk to the beach - we loved that all beach gear was available including a heavy duty wagon and a Neso beach canopy - big improvement over umbrellas! Also sand toys and floats. Great communication with owner from before we arrived through the easy checkin. We hope to return here next year!

Perfect house!

We could not have asked for a better house for our beach getaway! First, communication with Stephanie was outstanding! The first floor layout and easy backyard accessibility was great for our family. We’ve stayed in a multi-level house before and the one story layout was MUCH better for us. Location, location, location! We love the Anna Maria and Holmes Beach areas and the house is perfectly located between the two. Then the added bonus of being within walking distance to the beach was the cherry on top! All this while being on a quiet street! The house had everything we needed and more! We are so thankful to have found such a wonderful property!!

Great Stay

Great property and great responsive host. Exactly as presented. Everything was very high quality. Comfy beds with great linens and blankets. Amazing showers. Tankless water heater so you don't run out of hot water if everyone gets ready at the same time. Had everything for our family with younger kids. Thoughtfully curated kitchen supplies. Sharp knives. Great plasticware for around the pool. Great insulated tumblers for the beach, etc. Coolers provided were very much appreciated. Plenty of nice beach and bath towels. Paper products and toiletries provided. Ice maker was clutch. Great beach gear. Great pool floats and toys provided. House was extremely clean. Someone in our party forgot her headphones when we left and cleaning crew found them and owner is mailing them back for us. Excellent host. Thanks for everything!

The two refrigerators were very beneficial for 7 of us in the home. The pool area was beautiful. We truly loved the location as well.

Beautiful home in quiet, central location. House was well equipped for every need, beautifully decorated with gorgeous pool/garden area.
