I would recommend this place to anyone! It was extremely clean and neat, and we had a lovely time here! The host was very responsive and kind too. Overall, this place was above my expectations and a great place to stay.
Clean place. Comfortable bed. Easy to access. Great experience. Only downside is that it took a lot longer to get on to Anna Maria Island than expected due to traffic, but the stay itself was great!
The hosts were responsive and the bed was very comfy.

The place was clean, great location. They have everything you need in the place except for shampoo.
Independent entrance, a cute patio for outside meals and quiet and enjoyable neighborhood.
Couple of issues when we first got there, but once the host found out about it, she resolved it very quickly and was very responsive. Great location this time of year the traffic to get on the beach was horrendous so you have to plan accordingly to beat the traffic overall great little place close to the beach beaches and for the price absolutely worth it! We hope to be back soon.
We had a great stay. Nice accommodations suitable for our needs. Clean. Modern. Close to Santa Maria Island and the beach! Found a couple of great restaurants close by. Loved the washer and dryer in the unit. Quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again! Reasonably priced.
Very easy check-in, great location. It was very clean and much larger than we expected! The screened porch was very nice also! The only down was that the pullout couch was not comfortable at all. But everything else exceeded our expectations!
Amenities, the couch needs to be replaced painful to sit on, the gas grill did not work, warm water never got hot, a pancake griddle is not a 2 burner hot plate. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable, the outside area was a plus.
