Great location
Very nice place to stay. Quiet and just a block away from the beach access. AC went out on the last day (things just happen), but rental company supplied some portable units very quickly and very helpful with the situation.

Fantastic
This home is located very near the beach. A very short walk and we were there. I was worried about being on a “major” road but it actually made things more convenient. Home was clean. Loved having a garage, nice to have beach accessories available too! I also worried about dealing with neighbors in a duplex and it was a non-issue. We enjoyed our stay in this property!

Nice place
Couch very uncomfortable, chair very uncomfortable. no extra blankets , found hairs on floor in bathroom, and a hair on a cup in cupboard. Avoided using any dishes thinking prob all dirty. Living room rug needs cleaned or replaced. One upper cupboard door not attached correctly at top, left of sink. Other than that very nice place, nice location, close to the beach.

Lovely and Cozy
I am a frequent visitor to Ana Maria Island and I have often stayed on golf Drive where this property is located. I have to say it’s one of the best places I have rented with the best value. When it comes to reviews, it’s very dependent on what one is looking for. I was interested in a retreat type property which this location served with its close proximity to the beach, which is right behind the property and easily accessible. The unit was quiet with only one other unit attached and the rooms were clean. The property is well maintained and freshly painted. I was so grateful for the closed garage which protected my vehicle from the weather and the washer/dryer which i used often eliminating the need to pack a lot of clothes. I have this property earmarked as a favorite and if possible will rent again. Highly recommend.

We loved the location. Nearby was a quiet beach, convenient shopping, trolley stops (both northbound and southbound), and casual eating spots. Beach chairs, wagon, and umbrella were provided at the rental. My 80 year old mother didn’t enjoy the steps up to the unit, but had a great time overall.

Short walk to the beach/Trolley pickup right in front
The pros of this property are clear: cute space, big enough for a few people, a block from the beach and the trolley that takes you anywhere on the island picks up right in front of your door. Any issues I had during my stay were handled properly.

Decent place, nothing fancy but clean. Finishing carpentry is a bit landlord style, but it works.
Place was clean, bright and nicely decorated. Location was top notch, for not being beachfront. Carpentry finishes were done poorly, but this might not bother everyone. We were a group of four and had to buy our own toilet paper, kitchen towel, garbage bags, soaps etc, as non / hardly any were provided. Made note of this with the property manager, but no action was taken.. which is sad when paying this much for a holiday condo.

Schöne Wohnung in Strandnähe
Wir waren 10 Tage auf Anna Maria Island und zum ersten Mal in dieser Wohnung. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht und wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Aufgetrene Probleme wurden durch die Agentur sofort behoben, die Kommunikation war erstklassig. Ein winziger Kritikpunkt wäre, dass es an den Festern keine Mückennetze gibt. Auf der anderen Seite, ist als Pluspunkt die große Garage mit erstklassiger Strandausrüstung (Beachchairs, Sonnenschirm etc.) sowie Waschmachine und Trockner zur Alleinbenutzung zu sehen. Trotz der unmittelbaren Lage des Gebäudes an der Hauptstraße der Insel, hörten wir vom Straßenlärm so gut wie nichts. Für uns insgesamt eine schöne Wohnung mit super Verkehrsanbindung, großer Supermarkt sowie diverse Geschäfte in unmittelbarer Nähe und ca. 5 Minuten Fussweg zum Strand. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
