Property Management
The property management was absolutely amazing. We had a few issues and they were on it. Not only did they take care of the issues in a timely manner but they also did follow up calls to make sure we were satisfied with the results. We will definitely rent this home again.

Fantastic Friends Getaway
We travelled with 5 couples to Anna Maria. House was just as pictured. Amazing view with lots of wildlife (dolphins, manatees, rays, small shark and birds) sightings everyday! Walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The free trolley system is great if you do not rent a car or golf cart. Would have bee awesome to have a bathroom on the pool level along with a wet bar and/or small fridge for cocktails but then I guess we would not get our daily stair steps in going up to the kitchen to make them. ;) One thing that was wrong on the listing was the shared hallway bathroom. This bathroom is on the main level (2nd floor) not the upper level (3rd floor) so the people in the bunk room had to go downstairs to use the restroom. Our one main complaint are the beds. They are horrible. Very hard and VERY loud every time you turn you feel like you woke the whole house. Otherwise we had an amazing time!
Liv F. - Posted: 3/26/2021

We appreciate your honest feedback and suggestions and have passed on the information to our team. We hope to have to pleasure of hosting you all again soon. You were wonderful guests.

Beautiful house and area.
House was very clean and beautiful. Lots of space for big families. Pool was very refreshing. Dolphins and manatees visited everyday. Kitchen well stocked with pans, pots, etc. Pool towels were a plus.

Fantastic location
Fantastic property with beautiful views which we will never forget! Saw lots of dolphins and a few manatees from the villa. Anna Maria Island is so pretty - it has a village feel to it. We enjoyed going to the Sandbar - the view was amazing! My family fished and mainly caught catfish off the dock and were trying desperately to catch something else. The only negative thing I can think of is that the water flow in the kitchen and our ensuite was very slow, other than that all was good. I would definitely like to return in the near future.

Perfect home for our group of eight adults!
We arrived find this home spotless and ready for our group of eight which consisted of three married couples and two single ladies. The four master suites are amazing! The twin over full bunk room had an awesome view of the bay. We enjoyed the beautiful full bay views as we sat in the living room/dining room and when we relaxed by the heated pool. The beach is a very short walk from this home. We walked to the beach several times and even ate breakfast there at a local cafe one morning. Jenn had everything ready for us when we arrived and left her phone number in case we needed it but we didn't need to call because everything was perfect! We plan to return!
Lisa L., New Castle - Posted: 2/18/2018
Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for your kind review and feedback. Jen and I are thrilled that you enjoyed our home. I will pass along your feedback to our housekeeping team, I know they'll love to hear that feedback as well :). We always want our home to be perfect for our guests, and we work very hard to ensure that it is perfect for them. We love when our guests enjoy our home and this beautiful quiet little island, and it sounds like you did just that. Quick walks to the beach, fun times by a heated pool with open bay views, and great little cafes definitely help our guests relax and enjoy themselves. Thank you so much for trusting us with your vacation accommodations, and you're welcome back anytime. We look forward to it! Sincerely, Adam and Jen

Great Home, excellent service and overall amazing trip
The house is gorgeous. The views are amazing and the owners make sure your stay is everything you want it to be. It was chilly while we were there but we still enjoyed sitting by the pool, having dinner in the large dining area and walking along the beach. We ate at great restaurants, and the grocery store is close by, even walking distance! We hope to return in the future and bring our children because they will love it here!
Bridget I. - Posted: 1/22/2018
Dear Bridget, Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing our home for your vacation. I'm very happy that our home exceeded your expectations and that Lisa and our team were able to make your stay wonderful. The pool and dining area of this home are truly amazing and the views are spectacular. I know it was a bit chilly during your stay, but if it's chilly here, it is freezing everywhere else. I'm glad you made the best of it and were still able to enjoy your stay. We hope that you will return and stay with us again. You're always welcome and we would love to have you. Thanks again. Sincerely, Adam M. and Lisa T.

View was like being on a Cruise!!!
We couldn't believe the view right when we came in the house! House is so close to water it was amazing. Kids and adults love fishing off the dock we must have caught over 100 fish! Buy lots of shrimp :) The pool area was perfect with lots of seating and beach supplies. Home and kitchen was better then any 5 star resort! we cooked in many nights and house had plenty of room for all. We absolutely loved the beds and linens! We will 100% return to this lovely home!
