location, location location. we loved being steps from the beach, able to go back and forth with a small child/elderly for both to enjoy without it being a hassle. the front porch is amazing for morning coffee or games in the evenings.

this cottage was just amazing . location to beach and restaurants was exceptional. we had such an amazing time. quiet area . pool was great . walk to the Beach short . we really did not want to leave.. I could live there. thank you so much for an amazing vacation. hope to return again to same cottage.

It was myself, husband and 2.5 year old son who stayed at the property. The pool, proximity to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and ice cream shops couldn't have been any better. The house itself has some serious wear and tear though. Although I believe the cleaners did a great job, the condition/cleanliness of the furniture, and wear and tear on the house made it feel a little uncomfortable and dirty. We ate in for every meal and felt the kitchen was sparsely stocked, but we made due with what was there. We made the screened in porch our living space which was nicely furnished and comfortable, so we just didn't use the interior unless we needed it.Overall, the location couldn't be beat and the pool was wonderful, which made it a very enjoyable vacation.

This house on Anna Maria Island was a perfect vacation. The island is obviously still recovering from hurricane damage, but in a way that probably made this stay better. It was super quiet - even with construction going on - which was expected. This house has an awesome backyard with the privacy fence and pool. The pool was heated, and although cold first couple days because I'm sure they had just finished filling it for us, the last several days with it were really nice! The beach is literally a house away, and the path you walk to the beach is super pretty with like a tree tunnel you go through before coming out at the beach. Love that there is a walkway right at the beach entrance where you can basically walk the length of the beach down to where there are a couple restaurants and general store, and I'm sure usually a lot more things open, but again - hurricane damage. I can easily see this place being very active and busy if everything was open. Many properties were clearly nowhere near ready to open back up, but very happy this house was available. It had a starter of everything you need - laundry soap (never used washer/dryer so can't comment), dish soap and dish washer tabs, soap, cream rinse, shampoo and a couple rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. We got groceries on the way in at the Publix just 8 minutes from the house. They had plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Basic seasonings and coffee filters would have been nice for the coffee maker. Overall - very nice!
