Beautiful tropical oasis with privacy, yard space, pool/spa, gorgeous decor, 2 master suites plus a double and trundle bedroom, workstation and dining with a view and huge kitchen in open plan layout. House exceeded our expectations in every way - and being right on a canal was another nice treat. Hospitality was amazing with lots of travel tips and even welcome treats. Hard to beat this place and great quiet neighborhood on cul de sac street was a bonus.

Very nice house with ample space for family of five. Pool and hot tub were great. We loved kayaking in the water way and biking on the beach. It was an easy walk to the white sand beach and we got some great family photos at sunset. The area was really nice with the quintessential beach cottages. There was a small farmer’s market on Tuesdays with live music. Overall it was an excellent vacation. I highly recommend the house and area!

The house is very nice. Everyone loved the pool and spa ( they are gorgeous) My husband drew a picture of it for future ideas for us. Short walk to beach. Saw a manatee in the canal off the dock. We kayaked twice, the last time we made it Tampa Bay. Found sand dollars etc.. on beach. Had a little difficulty with the TV . The landscaping is beautiful ( I love the flagstone) and backyard very private. We had a wonderful stay

The Beach Nest on AMI offers comfortable, spotless, well-appointed accommodations blocks from the pristine beaches, adorable shops and scrumptious seafood restaurants Anna Maria offers. From the eclectic, thoughtfully chosen decor to the high-end bedding and towels to the beautiful backyard pool and hot tub, the Beach Nest makes the ideal home base for a fun, relaxing, rejuvenating vacation with friends / family. Liz and Kit are proactive, responsive, kind hosts. We want to go back!

Very warm, welcoming and accomodating host. Liza was very quick to respond to any questions. House was very clean and comfortable. Good beds. Plenty of bath and beach towels. Kitchen was stocked pretty well. Amazing yard and pool are better than the pictures. Very nicely landscaped and private feeling. Nice beach gear. Kayaks were fun and saw manatees right off the dock a couple times. Thank you for a great stay.

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The location is a perfect spot on Anna Maria Island, quiet street but near everything. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, biking, sunsets and relaxing days in the beautiful pool.

Family of six plus in-laws had a wonderful week at this home. Our kids loved the pool and it was great to have a wonderful back porch and to be able to watch the kids play in the pool from inside the home due to the single story home and the wall of windows from the kitchen/dining area. Also, short walk to the beach as described, with great beach gear and a wagon that made it easy to haul. Host was very responsive to a couple minor questions/issues that came up and made sure we were taken care of. Would definitely stay here again the next time we’re on AMI. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed the many great restaurants nearby too.

We traveled to Anna Maria for our annual spring break trip, and this property did not disappoint. We typically travel to AMI three times a year during my husband's breaks from school. We've stayed at several different properties during our stays, but this experience ranks near the top. Unlike other rentals, the home is fully stocked and every detail is considered from the quality of the linens to the beach supplies to the hospitality of the property owners. The pool and backyard are beautifully landscaped so that you can always find sun or shade depending on your preference. The location is quiet but near all of the restaurants and shops on the north end of the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality of the property owners.

We had a wonderful three weeks at the beach nest. We arrived during red tide and were afraid it would be a bust, but the back yard was perfect to ride it out. It went away after a few days and the beaches were fantastic. The hosts were very accommodating and responded immediately to every request we had. They even helped us move furniture to set up the kids room for my two grandchildren so they could each have their own space. The manatees and flying fish in the lagoon provided privacy and hours of entertainment and the kayaks, bikes, beach chairs and toys were much appreciated and well used. The hosts made us feel welcome and at home from the minute we walked in the door until we sadly had to leave this beautiful island.

We had varying ages from 4 to 87 on our trip and the house and location did not disappoint. Liza is a wonderful host, she makes sure you know everything you need to know about the area and workings of the home. It is about a 10 min walk to the nearest public access to the beach. We had a great stay, thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had a great time. The weather was strangely cold and we did not get to use the outside as much as we would have liked. We finally got to use the amazing outdoor shower the last 2 days. Liz was very communicative. She even put up a Christmas tree to welcome us! My only suggestion would be to put a shower curtain up in the master around the tub for an extra shower. Otherwise, it was great for our family. Linens were great. Nice grill too! Be careful on street parking as we did get a ticket for barely touching the street for $50. We would definitely rent again. Thanks Liz! . Happy New Year!

What a wonderful and relaxing house! We thoroughly enjoyed the fool and the hammock and loved seeing the manatees daily off the dock. The house was well stocked and comfortable, and the location was perfect. We hope to come back soon.

The house is fantastic with an outdoor shower, beautiful pool/hot tub, beach cart with chairs/umbrella, and everything we needed. Located 2 blocks from the beach and a quick golf cart away from restaurants. The beach nest was perfect.

We had a great week with plenty of room for adults and kids to spread out and enjoy this beautiful property inside and out. The pool and hot tub were a big hit and the kayaks were a real bonus! We even saw manatees off the dock! The owner was so kind to leave us a welcome treat that both the kids and adults could enjoy (adorable cookie cake and a bottle of Prosecco!). We had a minor problem with the door alarms early on but the owner was very quick to respond and get it resolved. Would highly recommend this rental for the beauty of the home, landscaping, and ease of access to local shops and amenities.

We had the most wonderful time at Beachnest and are so grateful to the hosts for everything they did to make our stay so special. So many incredible personal touches which make this property so unique, unlike others we have stayed in on the island. As soon as we walked in, luxury was upon us. The house was immaculate with everything we could possibly need. Beds were all so comfortable; bathrooms so stunning filled with soft towels; kitchen had every utensil you could think of plus gorgeous plates and glasses. There are not enough words to describe the outside area… the pool and jacuzzi were beautiful with such fab lights at night. The dock provided total zen and we had so much fun spotting manatee every day. Can’t finish without mentioning the super duper beach cart and sun ninja igloo! Made the beach trips so easy and we felt like smug beach pros with all the kit! So now we just hold everything tight and hope we can return to this magical place in the future. Thank you for everything once again - a trip we will never forget.

This home is a great example of the photos not doing justice to the actual home - and the photos are great! But they can't show you how it really feels, which was meticulously clean and curated and yet completely welcoming, comfortable and full of character. We loved and made great use of everything the house had to offer: the gorgeous pool and hot tub, the dock from which we watched manatees and launched the kayak, the hammock, the well-appointed kitchen, the grill and outdoor dining area on the back porch, and the perfect beach cart complete with beach chairs and a sun tent. If we'd had more time I'm sure we would have used the bicycles as well. There were large, fluffy towels for the home and the pool/beach, comfy beds and pillows, and lots of other thoughtful details that made our stay just a little easier. The gorgeous beach is just a short walk away with clear, warm water and gentle waves. The sand was powdery white and miraculously (to someone used to SC beaches) not scorching underfoot in the middle of July. On top of everything else, the homeowner was extremely gracious and communicative, and even left a delicious treat for us when we arrived. I can't wait to return to the Gulf, to AMI and specifically to this very home.

This wonderful home provides so much more than the photos depict, it was truly a delight to spend time here with family. Anything & everything that we could possibly have needed was already provided by the most accommodating host! The backyard was so peaceful that we spent every morning just enjoying our coffee on the canal - yes, we saw manatees most days. We're already making plans for our return visit - this is by far the most enjoyable home we've ever stayed in (both here on AMI or anywhere else we've travelled)!

Location, location, location! So close to the beach, restaurants, shops, and the pier. Everything is within walking distance. We loved being In a ranch, so much like a home. The house was very comfortable for our family of 8. The kitchen was well appointed and spacious. But our favorite place was the backyard. The landscaping was fabulous. So beautiful, warm and inviting. We loved the pool and hot tub. Enjoyed being on the canal and using the kayaks. The outdoor shower was a hit as well. Towels, beach wagon, umbrellas and bikes. Everything you could possibly want or need. Liza was full of information about the island and was very responsive to any questions or needs that we had. We loved our time at Beach Nest and would love to return again.

Wonderful Family Visit
We had four generations of our family stay at Beach Nest over two weeks. The home was very comfortable and livable. The bedrooms were logistically well-placed, children and babies sleeping on one side of the house and adults on the other. We cooked most of our meals in and the kitchen had most everything we needed. The outdoor space is wonderful, with a lovely front yard for the kids to play in away from the pool. The pool was sublime, private, and warmed to a comfortable temperature (we had some cool temps while we were there). It was a short walk to the beach or if you had lots to carry, you could use the beach wagon or take your golf cart and park right by the entrance to the beach. We went most nights for the sunset. We used the kayaks to explore the canals and the bay - even spotting some dolphins. Egrets graced the dock and ospreys were calling from the nearby pine tree. Any questions we had were answered quickly by Liza. We enjoyed our Welcome Cookie and sparkling wine. A wonderful, private, quiet get-away that went by way too quickly.

We stayed for 4 weeks. We had 3 different groups of friends and family come stay with us.
The pictures of the back yard don't do it justice. It is really magnificent with shady and sunny areas, with grassy areas, and great views to the dock.
The hot tub was used very often and the temp was just right.
Overall we were very satisfied with stay at this property.
