Fantastic house and property for our annual family vacation of 3 generations. Each family had their own private space with king bed, bath, extra an/c unit, and tv. The pool/bar area was our focal point for the week with numerous spots and ways to relax and enjoy ourselves. We used the paddle boards and kayak, fished off the dock (saw a manatee), as well as putted on the green and played a spirited game of cornhole. We enjoyed the upstairs’ fire pit and the kids enjoyed the captain’s wheel. The bikes were used for a trip around the north end where we visited Bean Point, and the golf cart was used was a beach and shopping shuttle. The kitchen was well-appointed for cooking and serving, and the garage was garage full of beach accoutrements. Plenty of beach towels too! The dining table was big enough for the whole family to enjoy a meal together. We had a wonderful time - probably our best vacation yet - and Rum Cove was a big part of the reason why. I have 2 suggestions for improvement: a few more empty cabinets would be helpful as a pantry area, and stock some more wine glasses. Overall it was a beautiful week and we loved the house!

This was the perfect home for our family of 14. The layout of the home was perfect for everyone to have their own space/quarters. It was so nice to have all the special equipment readily available like the 2 cribs, high chair, baby plates and spoons, and stroller. The golf cart was so much fun and all the beach amenities in the garage were so helpful. All we had to do was show up with clothes. We also appreciated all the attention to detail and high end appliances. Extraordinary home in stunning Anna Maria Island! I highly recommend Rum Cove!

Nice for large groups, families with kids

We had a wonderful stay at Rum Cove. The house was very comfortable for our group of 10, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the trip.The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure guests have everything needed. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen, along with the golf cart, kayak, pool, and beach gear, which made the stay easy and enjoyable.We would definitely stay here again!
