Loved that it does not require a week stay and feels like home with so many items you would need. Appreciate what you don’t need to take email received to pack less

This was our families third time renting this place and it never disappoints. It has truly become like a home away from home. The owner is super friendly and communicates very well with us. The home is equipped with everything we need for a great week at the beach. We literally get our groceries and everything else is provided. The house is usually clean and well stocked with all the necessities and even a few extras. I would definitely recommend renting this rental if you are looking for affordable with great access to the beach and area shops and restaurants, but then again it might not be available for my family and I to rent.

We love staying at Sea Pirate #8! This is our fourth time at this property and it has become a little home away from home for us. We love quiet it is while still being close to the beach, restaurants, shopping. We will be coming back to our happy place this December! Thank you Anna for providing this delightful place to stay that my family and I enjoy so much!

Our Mother-Daughter trip was very enjoyable. We found the condo very comfortable & furnished with everything we needed. The proximity to the beach was terrific being right across the street from the public access. We were located close to shopping & restaurants as well. Anna Maria Island's beaches are beautiful & we will definitely come back again. The property owner Anna was great to work with.

This condo is in the perfect location! Right across the street from beach access. A pool that has great sun and shade spots to enjoy. Quick walk to the shopping plaza that includes restaurants, ice cream, gift shops, Publix, etc…
Communication with the owner was easy and directions for check in and check out were simple. Would absolutely stay here again.

The location of this property is PERFECT! Across the street from a public access beach entry with parking for friends you want to meet up with and just around the corner from a strip mall with everything you might need. And yet when you enter the condo lot, you suddenly feel transported to a cozy private location. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen has everything you would want to cook and feed a family. We couldn't be happier and are talking about a return trip as soon as we can.

Its a peaceful area that has a good pool and a quick walk to the beach! Not very busy in the area which makes it easy to keep an eye on the younger kids. Anna was great to work with ans very easy. Its a trip we made memories and cant wait to back!

This is my second stay. Love it even more! Anna is so sweet and is there for you if a need arises! Upgrades were a added bonus. Her place makes me smile just thinking about it!

It could of been a little cleaner. I had to move the dresser cause I dropped an earring and it went under there and it was pretty dirty under there. Over all we enjoyed it. Anna was very good with us when I called about the dryer problem.

The stay was great. Great location. Easy to get to. Close to plenty of things to do and right across the street from the beach. We wouldn’t change a thing and would try to get this spot again next time we’re at AMI.

This was our second time staying with Anna and 3rd time to the island. We LOVE this spot. Quiet beach area with plenty of shopping nearby. Anna is very easy to communicate with and we have everything for your needs. Thanks again Anna for the great stay!

This property was absolutely perfect (& semi-affordable) for us! Just the right amount of space for us and our 3 kiddos (4, 6, & 8). Beach is literally across the street and it’s not too busy right there. An owl lives in the tree across the street so that was fun too :)
Place was clean, tidy, and had all of the extras, even ziploc bags! We would stay here again in a heartbeat,
I gave this place a 5, because it was! The only negative, which is not Anna’s fault at all, is that the pool only heats when temperature in the air is above 48° and it dropped below that the night before we arrived and then it took 3 days for the pool to heat up…which was super frustrating! I say that just as a heads up,
Otherwise, fabulous stay!!!! Close to everything :)

We have found Sea Pirate 8 to be perfect to have the best family vacation ever! We appreciate how clean the cottage is, modern amenities and special touches that allows us to feel at home and relax. We had an amazing experience and can't wait until our next beach getaway to AMI. Thank you so much!

Sea Pirate is a great location for some quiet time. Within walking distance if you want to have dinner and drinks.

We really enjoyed our stay in Anna Maria Island. We like to explore, so we enjoyed being more in the middle of the island, as opposed to the tip. The property was very quiet and we LOVED how close our walk to the beach was!! This was our first time in a VRBO, so we were new to the procedures. I got confused where our code was to access the property, so that took a while at check-in (was in an email from a while before). Additionally, some info was not accurate in the binder they had. We went to 2 restaurants they had listed and both were closed (learned upon arrival). Also, the wifi password was conflicting in email vs binder. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we really really enjoyed our time. Would recommend to family and friends.

What a cute beach rental. The place was very clean and beds were comfortable. Anna is a wonderful host. The air conditioning system shut down, I called Anna to let her know, and a repairman was there in about 10 minutes. This place is convenient to Publix, Walgreens and the trolley., and a strip mall of different stores. Definitely a winner of a rental. Communication with Anna was flawless and easy. She was always available for questions !

We were visiting from the U.K. for the first time and found this property through other favourable reviews. We are so glad we did. The property was absolutely fantastic. Located across the road from a fabulous beach, Sea Pirates 8 served our family’s every need. Never have we stayed in accommodation where everything was provided both within the property and for days at the beach such as the chairs,umbrella, kids buckets and spades and beach towels, all easily transported on the beach caddy. The swimming pool was also a nice way to finish off the late afternoon before a BBQ on the patio. The owner Anna was fantastic from initial contact through to check out. Anna Maria is simply paradise. Highlights included using the free shuttle to get around the Island including a visit to the Pier where a local fisherman let our kids pull in his fish, to finishing off the evening watching the sun-set at Bean Point Beach for those unforgettable and stunning photo opportunities. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your property. We are already planning to return to the Island in 2024 where we can hopefully book Sea Pirate 8 again.

The pictures that are used on the listing do not do it justice, this place exceeded all of our expectations! The property manager was responsive to all of my messages, and we actually got to meet her on our last stay there. Very sweet lady! Thanks again for a great stay and a vacation our family will never forget.
