Perfect for Family of 4
This property was perfect for our family of 4 and spotless when we arrived! Would definitely stay here again. It had everything we needed for our 10 day stay at Anna Maria Island. Recommend the extra pool heat for this time of the year! We enjoyed fishing at the City Pier and golfing at nearby golf courses. Easy walk to the beach. Highly recommend and our mini goldendoodle loved it too!!

Good place, good price!
The house is in a good location, two blocks from beach access. Walking distance to restaurants. The house was clean and all that was supposed to there was there. The only reason I don’t give all 5 stars was due to the kitchen being a little lacking. There were items that I looked for and couldn’t find. Nothing I couldn’t work around it was more of a nuisance. Also the beds were comfy but noisy, creaked with every move.

Beautiful Property
This property was wonderful! The house itself was updated and gorgeous. The back yard was private, shady and perfect. There was a slight appliance issue when we first arrived, but the managing company was really responsive and got it taken care of right away for us. We couldn't have asked for anything more! I definitely recommend staying here! Great experience!

Amazing place close to the beach!
Cannot say enough great things about our stay at Fishful Thinking! First, location is great. Some restaurants and bars within walking distance, many others a short bike ride away. Most importantly though- super close to the beach- about a 3-4 minute walk and beach access at the end of the street! When you need a break from the beach and want to hang poolside, the pool was warm and perfect! Inside of property was clean and comfortable and nicely appointed and updated. Had no issues, so no need to contact the property owner during our stay, but all information was clear and provided prior to our arrival. Would 100% recommend and would 100% stay here again!
