We enjoyed our stay in Anna Maria. This house has a great location- it’s just a short walk to the beach! We also really liked relaxing in the backyard/pool. I was surprised that there was an additional fee for paying by credit card. It’s stated in the rental agreement, but I didn’t read it closely enough. Overall, everything was great!

Adorable cottage in central Anna Maria location…2 blocks from the beach, 3 blocks to Pine Ave shopping district and 4 blocks to City Pier! Home has fully appointed kitchen, backyard pool and all the beach gear you need! The hubs and I and 2 of our adult children enjoyed our vacation immensely! Only thing I would update are the beds :/

The property was very nice one this that i would add is on the back doors having the alarms. We have stayed at another house that had the same systems, and they had a button on the outside also you could hit. This silences the alarms when anyone is in the house asleep. The way it is set up you have to open the door and then immediately hit the button.

Great stay!!

We had a great time! Everything was back up and running post hurricane. We did need an umbrella for the back yard/pool, and found a beach one. I’m assuming they just haven’t gotten around to getting a permanent one for the back. My only other complaint was someone opened the door to drop a fire extinguisher off without letting us know they were coming, so it scared my son. A heads up would have been great, or just placed on the porch. Otherwise, everything was fantastic. Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental is in a great location (walking distance to numerous restaurants) and was very clean inside the house. The furnishings were great (beds were comfortable). The pool was dirty and really unusable.Overall, the house is an older home updated with small bed rooms and bathrooms. While the home was clean it was a real downer the the pool was dirty.When you look at the overall cost (rental, cleaning, property management)...Not worth the price!

Girls Trip

This was a great house for a couple of ladies. GREAT location, clean, well stocked and enough room to spread out. Pool was a great size and plenty of room to spread out on patio furniture too. Overall a great house. It does need some maintenance. One toilet leaked all over the bathroom making it unusable and the other one the toilet seat wasn’t attached. The lights in the pool didn’t work and the china cabinet piece of furniture’s door fell off when opened and smash my toe. Just small maintenance items would make this house a 5/5.

Great stay

The house and location was great. It is not luxurious but for the price it was very comfortable. The house could use some minor improvements/repairs. This is our 4th visit to Anna Maria and we have stayed at a different location every time. I would stay here again. My 2 only complaints are: 1. The 2 living room chairs were very uncomfortable and were noisy when you moved while sitting in them. 2. We found a few dirty dishes, which made me question how clean they all were. But the kitchen was well equipped for us to cook breakfast every morning and a few dinners. These were minor inconveniences that are easy to overlook and still enjoy our stay.

Perfect, if only

Just a few things. The people that had the twin beds said they were terribly uncomfortable and they mostly tossed and turned all night. On the other hand, the other beds seemed fine. The refrigerator seems to be leaking water. The pool is like bath water, not refreshing but not sure what you do in Florida for that. The pool filter is located right where the lounge chairs are and is incredibly loud and annoying while you are poolside. The walk to the beach really is only 5 minutes and the beach is lovely. All and all, Anna Maria is beautiful.
