What a wonderful beach!
The house is spacious and great location. Short walk on the path behind house right onto beach. It isn’t a crowded area of beach either. This area is just houses and no resorts or hotels. Beach is beautiful white sand and very clean! The kitchen had all needed appliances and cookware and glasses and plates. No staples such as salt or spices or anything like that though. The deck on upper level has a little view of beach and table and chairs. It was great to sit outside early and look at ocean and eat breakfast! It didn’t have the comfy lounger shown in picture though. There’s a grill for cooking outside also and wagon with four beach chairs which was great! (Although my boys did complain that the wagon didn’t pull well at all on the sand :)) Beds were comfortable and great couches with large tv on both levels. We really enjoyed our stay!

I’m now in love with AnnaMaria Island
Location was amazing. Photos need to be updated for property. Outside path to beach needs to cleaned up and made more walkable, over grown bushes blocking beach view was a little disappointing.
Laureen B. - Posted: 9/25/2024
Thank you for your review! We’re so happy to hear that you loved the location of the property. We also appreciate your feedback about the photos and the outside path to the beach. We will definitely look into updating the photos to reflect the current condition of the property and address the overgrown bushes and path to ensure future guests have a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back for a stay with improved outdoor conditions!

beautiful beach location
This is a very nice house, spacious and airy. Even though it is on the beach you cannot hear the water because it is about 300 feet from the shoreline. Beautiful sunset views from the upper deck.

Great location- very nice home
Our family of 5 adults really enjoyed our stay. The views of the gulf from the second floor deck, sunroom, and living space were wonderful. One thing not noted previously ( that I saw) is there is a gas grill on the patio. We appreciated having that! It was really nice to have the various living spaces.

Had a memorable family vacation!
This was the perfect location! Just steps from the ocean, it was easy for some of us to be at the beach and others to be back at the house. We were able to carry our kayaks to the ocean, and we even kayaked alongside a manatee a couple of times! The water was warm (88 degrees) and crystal clear. We spent hours sitting on the beach and playing in the water. It was heaven! We saw several baby dolphin swimming near us, and found sand dollars in the shallow water. This was a great week to visit because we could walk to Pine Avenue to see the July 4th parade. That was such a fun, small town parade! We also were able to watch the fireworks from the beach. I highly recommend this home. We had one of our best vacations ever!
