Perfect location

Perfect location- we loved being so close to everything, the beach was a block over but we could see it, the canal was cool too and we say Manatees. The interior of the property is very nice- pictures are exact. The beds were Very comfortable! Kitchen was stocked. A cooler would have been nice. The beach towels & chairs were great. We also saw dolphins right out front! Beautiful safe area and everyone is so friendly. Delicious Ice cream right across the street with lots of snack options. We ate at several restaurants including Slims (very local vibe ), the Porch (absolutely amazing- all 4 of us had the best food), the Sandbar (delicious and best location right on the beach)- we wanted to eat at all of them but didn’t have enough time. The location of the market for other supplies was great. The trolley system was perfect. We wish we had another day using that- went to Bridge street and had a blast. Rented bikes several days too- Very nice! Thank you Florida for sharing your amazing island with Wisconsin folks!

Perfect!

This was the absolute perfect choice for our family of five (with a couple young kids). The location is perfect, kitchen is well-stocked, and beds are insanely comfortable! We would like to stay here again the next time we visit Anna Maria Island.

Nice place

This place is extremely well designed with the space they have available. Everything has a spot. We really enjoyed how close we were to the water and all the shops. The beds were good enough for sleeping and it was really great to come back to the place after a long beach day. Really good base of operations. Fun times in Anna Maria!

Cozy Condo

The owner was very helpful and answered all of my questions! Check in was very easy. The condo was very cozy! The beds were comfortable, and each room had a TV. There was also an air mattress that was convenient and comfortable. My daughter and husband borrowed a fishing pole from the neighbor above us and fished in the canal. They spotted a starfish, and a dolphin swam through the canal, which was both surprising and amazing. The kitchen had plenty of space and cookware. There were people in the unit above us, but we couldn't really even hear them. The property is very quiet and peaceful! I knew housekeeping had been through because the bedding was fresh, etc, but I do feel like the unit could use a good "spring cleaning". The kitchen cabinets needed a good wipe down, dresser drawers had dust and some hair in them and needed a good wipe down as well. It was still a wonderful place but just wanted to mention this tip for the cleaning crew.

Nice apartment exelent location

I recently stayed at this apartment for a 4th of July getaway, and it exceeded all expectations! Located in a prime spot, it's conveniently close to everything. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The decor was stylish and created a welcoming atmosphere

Perfect place for our trip!

We were so pleased with our stay here! The rental had everything we needed and was so convenient. The rental is private and quiet and yet right in the middle of everything. I walked across the road to watch the sunrise over the bay each morning because it was so close and it was easily my favorite part of the trip. We also had ice cream every night at Two Scoops - maybe that was a little too close and convenient ;) The mattresses and bedding were extremely comfortable! The living area and kitchen fit our needs perfectly. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. This was our first time to Anna Maria Island and our whole family loved every minute. We can’t recommend this rental enough! We hope to be back soon!

Charming Old Florida Feel

This apartment is just across from the water on the inland side of the island. I could see the pier entrance from my kitchen window, Nevertheless it felt very private. Close to everything, restaurants, shops, beaches. Just across the street from the inland beach and a straight walk to the gulf beach. New tv's, excellent wifi. Nice relaxing stay.
