A bit retro, immaculately clean, and about a 50 ft walk to the beach. Met by the property mgr as we arrived, gave us the tour of the place and shared info about the island. We planning to return for another stay.

Oh man, where do I start…..
We arrived and was greeted with warm welcome from Racheal, who made sure we could get in okay and welcomed us. I thought that was very thoughtful❤️
The bungalow was older style but very clean and just perfect for our week stay. Then there is a path way to lead to heaven….the ocean!!!!
The beach is very clean and quite and not busy like manatee beach in Anna Marie . The only down fall is NO SHELLS!!! ( Only littles)
Thanksgiving was spent relaxing after I cooked us a good meal at the beach. Sunsets were amazing the orange rays were just breathtaking.
The bungalow had chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards etc. Unfortunately it is all just a memory now!!!!

This is has been our 3rd year staying at this location which is simply perfect. A very short walk to the beach which is a plus. Everyone is so nice. Can’t wait to come back!

Great communication and direction to the property. It's an older place. Which was no problem for us. The price was right for an on the beach rental. After all, we spent more time on the beach than in the rental. The beach isn't overcrowded at their location either. We have a camp, so living in less than perfect conditions was not a problem. We'd stay there again !

The property was so lovely and RIGHT ON THE BEACH, with our own private little path. It was so awesome, and the property manager, Raquel, was amazing! She was so helpful and super nice. I would definitely stay again!

Such a lovely location, right on the beach. Easy to get to the trolley stop or shops that were walkable distance from the unit. Loved seeing the sun set over the sea every evening and wake up and walk along the beach in the early mornings. Owner is very responsive, accommodating and helpful. Just a wonderful overall stay and would highly recommend.

Very clean, well stocked, and convenient cottage with a very short walk to the beach! Loved the separate a/c units and location too! Very nice and helpful owners!

The rental was a bungalow style.. The bunk beds were very creaky and definitely not for adults. Shower needs updated. Wi-Fi was great. Coffee on the beach was only a few steps away!

Nice little cottage for two. Friendly owner, clean and well supplied with everything you need. Our only negative is the kitchen floor. They need to replace it. Will stay again next year if they update the floor.

We absolutely loved the location of this place with nice little outside areas to relax or head right down to the beach!! Overall, the place was neat & tidy and while I'm not one to complain, the only real issue I had was the tile floor in entry could definitely use a scrubbing. We absolutely will be visiting again as the place pretty much met all of our requirements.

we love anna maria
we love staying here. proximity to beach cant be beat. private safe parking although slightly cramped. everything you need is there or a three minute drive. Racquel was very nice.
we dont like the bed, but it was negligable in the mix. we will most definitely be back

Great location to the beach
This is our second year staying at this property. Actually, last year we stayed upstairs and this year downstairs. I would recommend down stairs. Nothing wrong with upstairs, but you have to climb a lot of stairs. Either way, upstairs or downstairs, Mike and Kelly are very responsive to any needs. The cottages are clean and are right on the beach. We will stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the outdoor patio and seating area where we were able to observe lots of different types of birds, lizards and even a bunny with easy access and quick path to the beach. They also supplied all you needed to enjoy the beach from chairs, umbrellas & sand toys! A welcoming space to enjoy beach, family and wildlife!

We really enjoyed our stay with one HUGE exception, a very needed and easily fixable issue. The main bed needs a new mattress!!! If they replaced the mattress , we would recommend this little gem.

From the moment my family and I walked past the manager/owner's place towards the beach, she started yelling at us. My sister who is legally blind was walking with her service dog on what we thought was our rental property. First the manager/owner yelled that we had to have the dog on a leash. I tried to explain that we were not walking out on the beach. But she insisted and so my sister put the leash on the dog. But then she started yelling at us that we were going to have to pay another cleaning fee because the dog was large. I tried to explain that we have rented many times on Anna Maria and have never had to pay an extra fee because it is a service dog. Even the next day she yelled at me about the cleaning fee. Again, I tried to explain about the Americans with Disabilities Act but she still insisted I was going to have to pay an additional cleaning fee. (I had advised the owners through VRBO that we had a service dog and their response was "no problem")
She made it very clear this was her property and she could do what she wants and continued to harass us very chance she could. I definitely would never stay at this place again.

My family had a great time in Anna Maria. Our unit was very clean and had just about everything we needed. The location was perfect, just steps away from the beach and very convenient for catching the beautiful sunsets. The bedrooms are a good size. We never felt cramped. The living room was a little small for a family of four but it was cozy. Overall, we had a very positive experience. The onsite manager, Raquel, was super friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. We'd definitely book this unit again.
