We had an awesome time! It was better than we expected!

We had a great week at this property. Pool had great sun throughout the day. Easy walk to the beach and about a mile into town. Bikes are not needed but a great way to explore the island. Our third time in Anna Maria at a different property every time, this did not disappoint. Two of us on the trip, can fit more but could be tight. Would recommend.

I have just had one of my best holidays ever. The home is ideally located, just a short walk to beautiful beach. Also very near some very good restaurants.
It has a great, private and heated, swimming pool. We are already planning our next holiday and will want to come back to the same home.

The property was perfect for our week long vacation. The most beautiful beach is a short walk away. White talcum powder like sands and a bath like sea.
The property has a fabulous heated and private pool, I spent much of my time in it.
The home has everything you need. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and massive. Quite a lot larger than we are used to in the UK.
We are already planning our next holiday and we will be hopefully booking the same home.

Pros: The home is a block and a half from the Gulf! Such an easy walk to be in the ocean. It’s only a mile walk to The Sandbar restaurant and shops and a little more than that to The Waterfront restaurant. The home was well equipped with dishes, glasses, utensils - everything you would need for a week stay. The pool and outdoor areas were well maintained and the lawn chairs were comfortable and modern. We spent a lot of time in the pool. It was very nice. The air conditioner worked really well and the shower had excellent water pressure. Speaking of showers, the outdoor shower was really nice to wash the beach sand off before heading inside. The bathroom was supplied with a little amenities kit (Dove brand soap, shampoo, and conditioner). The back patio was comfortable and well equipped with pillows on the chairs and a high powered fan. It was perfect to get away from the bugs at twilight.
Cons- The pillows were horrendous. I cannot stress this enough- bring your own pillows!!! The bed was just ok-ish. A higher fence around the front of the house would’ve been ideal. There wasn’t really any privacy in the area that we spent the majority of our time.
Summary- we would stay again and really enjoyed this house. The cons aren’t meant to dissuade anyone, just a heads up so you know what to expect.

Great location less than four minute walk to the beach. The pool was very nice. The house did have beach towels and beach chairs. We definitely would rent again.

Overall stay was enjoyable. Pool is not private as described since there is only a 4 foot high wall separating the properties.. Location is perfect and the home is well equipped. We will probably look elsewhere next year that has a private pool since we go to the beach 1st half of the days and the pool in the afternoon. We want total privacy while in the pool. If that doesn't matter to you this place is perfect.

We loved the pool and how close it is to the beach. Loved a tv in 3 rooms and comfortable beds. Loved a full kitchen and washer/dryer was very handy.

Unit was very clean and in a great location. The pool was awesome. Only negative would be that the flooring was buckled and could be replaced. Did not affect our stay but it’s something that will need attention

It was a perfect house / duplex for our family. The pool was nice, short walk to the beach. The house had everything you need. Plenty of parking in front of house and outside seating in front by the pool or in the screened in back porch. Definitely will stay again.

This was the perfect getaway during Covid19. Having our own private pool and grill was the perfect way to stay socially distanced. The walk to the beach was under 5 minutes and the beach access was uncrowded and led out to a pristine beautiful beach. The place was clean upon arrival and stocked with everything we needed. We will be back!

Perfect Pool
The pool area was supline. Sunny and very well cared for by the pool company. The home itself could use some updating: chairs, area rugs, and art, ceiling fans also would be helpful as it could become quite stuffy at times. Vacasa was outstanding and very responsive with any and all requests.

Frustrated with management
The property had no working dryer and no exterior lighting. We stayed two weeks and had to use the local laundromat because we ran out of clothes. The property did reimburse us $25/day for the inconvenience, but can’t give us our time back. The lack of outdoor lighting was extremely dangerous as the pool is in the front very near the door. A repairman came, took two solar lights and placed them on the patio table and told us once they were charged we could place them anywhere we needed. They never worked. Another repairman simply said, “Things break.” This is unacceptable! We visit AMI frequently, always staying in homes or condos, and will never use this company again. We will go back to using AMI Accomodations.

Very enjoyable week at Blue Wave Villa East
Pro's: Clean!!
Renovated, new flooring and furniture, bright & light, very
attractive and pleasant.
Nice linens
Two blocks to the beach
Heated pool and outdoor seating
Kitchen adequately stocked with dishes and silverware.
Con: No beach chairs. Two low sitting beach chairs would be greatly appreciated by guests, especially those flying in for a vacation.
Con: Twin beds both have box springs that are extremely noisy because there is a piece of cardboard under the first layer of fabric. Sitting on the bed or laying on the bed or moving on the bed produces LOUD cardboard bending, scraping, squawking noises. The owner needs to address this. Take out the cardboard. Or replace the box foundations. It's ridiculous.
Con: SLOW internet speed. WiFi often cut-out in the bedrooms or try streaming a movie. It would stop, sit and spin while trying to load. After rebooting the system repeatedly, speed tests indicated great irregularity in speed.
Con: listening to building construction and beeping, beeping, beeping of a crane, while another huge house and pool is erected in the back yard of a lovely quiet street of one story houses.

Great Location
Location was perfect, close to everything for the most part. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Some of the beach stuff could be updated, but other than that it was well equipped. Rented bikes for the week and we could ride to most places for dinner, shopping, etc.

Mixed Review
When we arrived AC was not working. It took 5 phone calls and almost 5 hours later for someone to come fix the AC. Will say our first day was ruined. The kitchen utensils were outdated and not very clean. The beds are very stiff and squeaky. Not good when you have children/infant ... we couldn’t even move without making up our son, that’s how loud the beds were. And needless to say UNCOMFORTABLE! On the plus side very short walk to the beach and the pool was very nice. It does get quite warm as the day goes on. But it is in a great location.

Great place
Great place! Very cute! Very clean. No smells like some places. Everything you needed. Having a private pool was so nice. My family has two beach front condos for two weeks every year and does a family trip but they can get a little crowded with florida family coming to visit so we opted to rent our own space this year. The fam is a little hard to impress and even my grandmother liked it!!! Our 4 year old son never likes ANY hotel and even he liked this house! Just cant say enough!! Would def stay again!

Island Oasis
We had a lovely time staying here. The home was very clean and in an ideal location. I knew I wanted to be in the "numbered" streets. I didn't want to be in the thick of things on the northern or southern ends of the island, though both were close enough to feel that things were still completely accessible. The walk to the beach was all of 5-6 minutes, which made for a *perfect* location. We loved the privacy of our own pool and grilling on the back patio. We'll definitely be back!!! I've already told a few people about what a perfect little place it is for a beach getaway!

"Our stay was perfect!!! The only thing we would say is that the floors need to be cleaned a little better as our baby's knees became dirty after crawling and new pillows would be nice on the bed. We absolutely loved staying here and recommended it to my grandparent who we're staying somewhere else and may be coming to see you this week about the house we stayed at as they are interested in staying there as well. We would definitely stay here again!"

"We had an excellent stay. We hired two adjoining bungalows which worked perfectly for our family gathering. They were in an ideal spot, so we could walk to beach and then walk out for dinner or ice creams in the evening. The bungalows were well furnished, clean and had everything we needed for the house and beach."
