The place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The beds were comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The location so close to the beach was the best. Also the screened in porch facing the ocean and the beautiful sunsets was an added bonus.

Superb location

Loved direct access to the beach and how close it was to shopping, restaurants, two bedrooms, screened in porch at the back. The shower exterior needs attention due to rust, interior was great. Would definitely book again, great management company and customer service

Snow Birds for a Week

It was very nice! Easy to rent, communications were timely and informative. May want to add a coffee pot of some sort. Other than that it was very nice, loved that we could hear and see the ocean and that it was just a short walk from the back door.

Great, perfect location - Not so great interior

The grounds and access to the beach were so great. Super convenient location to the grocery store and places to see both north and south on the island. You can tell they have updated some of the interior, but there are parts that still really need updated (the bathroom shower, mattresses and dresser smell). It was a Duplex, but we must have had great neighbors. It feels like we had the place to ourselves. Very nice having a grill and place to eat outside.

A basic little spot in a perfect location

The location is perfect! A short walk out the back door to a wide, clean, uncrowded beach; walking distance to the grocery store; a short drive to several good restaurants and a public golf course. Vacasa, the management company, does an excellent job. Check-in and -out were flawless, and they were very responsive to any minor issues we had. The unit itself is comfortable. The keypad on the front door doesn’t appear to work, but the key itself works just fine. The kitchen is not a “cook’s kitchen.” The cooking/serving equipment is in good condition, clean, but very limited. Nevertheless, it’s a nice little vacation spot.

Don't expect much if you book this property.

Although fairly clean and in a good location to the beach and surrounding areas, this rental property is very no frills. It is lacking some very fundamental things you would expect at a rental house, especially one at the beach. Kitchen is very small, lacking things like a coffee maker. Very few dishes and silverware. The house offers nothing for the beach other than a private walkway t the sand. No umbrella, toys, chairs, wagon to pull your stuff that you had to bring or buy to use. Bathroom is small, shower door is very wonky, and the hot water lasts about 4-5 mins so don't expect to be able to take showers back-to-back or for any length. No extra blankets for the small bedrooms. Location wise - it is close to a lot of things: restaurants, shopping, etc. Beach is very nice...not too many shells so easy walking.

Great beach access

The house has great and easy beach access. Also enjoyed the one level living. Could use some upgrading on a few things. There was only 4 forks, the main bed has a hole in the middle, cookware is limited, and the side chair in the living room is broken down. With that being said, we enjoyed our stay and would probably stay there again.

Summer 2021

This property was perfectly located on the beach! The kids loved the easy access to the water. Anna Maria island is quiet and we loved being out of the hustle of a touristy town. Only wished they had some basic cooking supplies. We have rented a lot of VRBOs and never have I had to purchase every single thing. (Salt, pepper, Tupperware, spices, etc)

Location is Amazing, but....

The location of this property is amazing. The unit is perfect for a couple or a family of four due the one shared bathroom. We had an AC issue and our Vacasa Associate, Dawn, was amazing! She is the type of Associate who will make Vacasa successful. On the to housekeeping side the entire unit needs to be deep cleaned and the screened porch needs to be pressure washed.
