This was my 4th time to Anna, and the island itself is spectacular. The location of this rental is especially nice if you like to hang out on the beach. The spot is perfect! There’s a balcony with two chairs for watching the sunset, and several comfortable chairs to use day or night!

Had a great time and we were just a few steps to the beach! Got to watch the sun set every night from our balcony. This place offered stuff that we have never had at other condos. Sometimes it’s the small things, like salt and pepper, extra trash bags and my husband’s favorite a box fan! We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely a perfect location! Beautiful and a great place to walk to fun restaurants. They were tearing down the building next door and will be building on to the restaurant next door. Might want to check with the owners on noise and timeline. Totally stay again after done with construction. Bring soap, shampoo and bath soap.

we enjoyed staying at beach house #8- the location is directly on the gulf we didn't even have to cross a street. there are several dining and drinking venues in walking distance including an ice cream shop and a convenience store. public transport is available to access the rest of the island so next time we used the car was checkout time- highly recommended

Beach getaway

My husband, teen daughter, and I stayed in this cute condo for a week. Absolutely loved the location for beach time, sunsets, and walking to local restaurants, shops, rentals. Property manager contacted us before our arrival since previous renters had some issues with the pullout couch. It was fixed in a timely manner, with as little disruption to our stay as could be. We’d absolutely stay here again!
