Oh, that beautiful beach!

This condo is just right across from the beach, and the beautiful bay! From it, you can see the Sunshine Skyway and the Anna Maria Pier (currently awaiting restoration from recent hurricane damage).The condo is just great! It had everything we needed except beach chairs!

Lovely Island Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay on Anna Maria Island. Our place was comfy, quaint, and great location. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted to do - beach, eating, shopping, etc. Only one con was a loud neighbor in the unit above but didn't spoil our over-all stay!

Anna Maria Island

This property is as cute as advertised. Short walk to the restaurant, the Waterfront, the city pier and pine street. Easy walk across the street to bayfront, great to watch birds. A longer walk to gulf beach, but convenient. Lovely place to visit!!

Overall recommended

The home was clean, and had most of what we needed. Communication prior to arrival on a couple more things would have been helpful. Close enough to the beach to make it worth the price.

Beautiful little spot on the bayside. About half mile walk to other side of beach. Highly recommend. AC worked great, great water pressure in shower. The upstairs guests checked in and the noise of them running around and even walking upstairs was bad.

Nice pool area. Close to Pine Ave

You are close to Pine Ave, the Waterfront restaurant,Two Scoops ice cream, and the pier. It is at the opposite end to get to the larger beach. The kitchen could be better equipped. The furniture is well worn. I would choose an upper unit instead as you can hear everything from upstairs.

Great Stay for a Couples Getaway

The location of this home is perfect, this particular unit faces the main street along the beach with a private porch and chairs. We spent a lot of time here relaxing and enjoying the weather. The unit itself was beautifully updated and clean. As a basement unit you could hear the upstairs neighbours sometimes but it was never an issue for us. The only request I’d have is for more basic supplies such as Tupperware, tinfoil, or even a pen, etc. Overall was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back!!

Could’ve been better

We stayed for four days at South Bay Inn 1. When we arrived it was very clean. The location is nice and close to the piers and a few restaurants. We loved Two Scoops ice cream! A few complaints is that our first full day within our stay we were told we had to be at the condo from 2-3pm to let Spectrum service the tv. We were given about a 2 hour notice which threw a wrench in some of our scheduled plans. When they arrived there was nothing wrong with the tv… The people above us sounded like they were stomping around even past 10 pm. We also had to wait several hours to do laundry when there are four units and only one washer and dryer. The picture of the beach in the images of this condo is not right across the street. Overall, the condo is nice looking but because of the listed factors I cannot rate it a 5.

Very clean and updated. We were told an early check in was available, so planned for that, but they changed that as the day went on even though it was available. Besides that, it was a great place to stay, close to Pine Avenue and beaches.

Great stay

Everything was great except we were told we could have an early check in and even though it was clean, we were not able to go in until the regular check in time. Since we were told early check in was possible, that is how we planned our drive. It was fine to wait, and we had plenty to do, but just odd we were not able to go in early.

Great little getaway! Wow, what a sunrise!

Such an amazing cozy spot for a beach getaway! Very clean and close to restaurants and the beach! On the bay side of the island, so the sunrises are so worth getting up early to snap some amazing pictures! Can't wait to go back!

Property was very nice and a convenient location.Experienced a problem with code to open door and called troubleshooting line and we were on hold for over a half hour. Went to troubleshooting app. and were able to get code reset. We’ve stayed at numerous properties and both the poor directions and unnecessary complications of the door lock were frustrating.

Perfect

Great location ! Very clean & everything you need to stay for a short or long stay.. loved the pool after the beach & after dinner every night . Never had to share it either . Bay beach right across street plenty of food & shopping within walking . We would still recommend renting a golf cart we did from AMI golf carts. Great way to get around the rest of the island.. this will be our spot for sure on our Nxt trip.. thank you for such a great stay! Oh & the bathroom & shower is amazing!

Worth the stay!

Location is off the beaten path which made it quiet & relaxing... exactly what we were looking for! It was close enough to shopping & restaurants but far enough that there isn't a lot of foot traffic! Loved it. Room is great. Heated pool made it difficult to cool off but comfortable.

2024 June Proposal

We loved where we stayed, across the street was the North Shore and morning sunrises, walk 6 blocks you are at the South Shore, to see some Beautiful Sunsets. Both Piers are in walking distance and the food was delicious at both places. We rented a Golf Cart for our 9 day stay, for us, it was the best way to get around to see multiple islands and explore even in the rain. The Trolley was great too, especially on those really rainy days. We tried all different kinds of restaurants and enjoyed them all especially the fresh seafood but the smaller restaurant were great too. Our time on Anna Maria Island was Amazing as well as our Home & loved the Pool for a relaxing day. Island Life for our 9 days was Truly a Beautiful Experience.

Squeaky clean, but loud and a little harder of a bed that we are used to.

The studio was spotless, squeaky clean when we walked in at 1600, the place had this very pleasant smell too! There was a few little things that could use a bit TLC, the couch material is piling, the bedding seemed a bit worn, and unfortunately for us the bed was rather hard. Little things that did not really make or break our stay. The location was excellent, cross the street your in the beach, The delicious Water front restaurant with in ten steps, the pier and soooo much more! I do have to mention the unit we were in was on the ground floor, unit 1, the folks above us had been dancing all night well into the wee hours of the morning. In a lame attempt to contact Vacasa, ( because they have never answered any of the times we have tried to connect with Vacasa) they did not answer and as I write this they still have not gotten back to us which at this moment in time is a moot point. The were loud and seemed to be having a good time and one could hear it all from the bottom floor. It was awful, all in all the bed which was a tad to hard for our taste, the loud party above us, the lack of interest in Vacasa to tend to any questions and or request for support we had, it was just a last minute just in case place we booked and first time ever using Vacasa. It was pleasant but not worth the large amount of money paid where we could have gone to luxury collection property elsewhere for this. I really wanted to love it, however there were just a few hiccups that made it just ok
