Family friendly - great for boaters too!

We really enjoyed our stay here - it was perfect for our needs with adults and elementary age kids. Very spacious. We loved the pool area and the fact that we could bring our 21 ft boat. I will book here again!

Nice place

Overall this worked great for us. About 2 blocks from the gulf coast. Fishing access on an inlet behind the house and pool was great for us and kids. Out of the way for major island traffic but close enough to the coast to walk and enjoy it

Fantastic location

We loved the location of this property! The pool was great! Overall we had a great vacation. The property itself needs updating but we knew that from the other reviews. I would highly suggest getting a golf cart or at least a bike.

Good time but Small bathrooms

We had a great time with family and enjoyed the house and pool! Please be aware the inside bathrooms are very small, the outside shower is bigger but kinda inconvenient, my hubby is 6'5" and had to use it. Other than the age of the property, its nice and the pool area is great!

Wouldn’t stay again

Roach crawled across the couch while someone was sleeping, pool was too hot to swim in due to the heater being on, broken furniture, broken back screen door, pool sensor wires cut and disconnected, fridge did not cool our food/drinks, ice maker didn’t work, pictures on listing were not accurate at all

Great location

The location of this home is wonderful. The home itself needs some work. The lanai area is fabulous! The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful. Unfortunately, the home itself was not as great. The beds are very hard, the kitchen is not well appointed and the supplies that are there are subpar. The dining room table only accommodates 4 even though there are three bedrooms. There are plenty of beach chairs to use which was very nice.

Kitchen Utensils

This is an outstanding property! It lacks some quality kitchen “tools” “utensils” whatever you would call it. Was very difficult to cook! Needs better pots, pans, KNIVES for sure. Other than that, loved it!

Far From Finest

While we loved the pool and hot tub, this property could use some serious attention from its owners and managers. A few hours of electrical, plumbing, carpentry and general cleanliness would go a long way. Not our first visit to AMI but this property’s condition isn’t for us.

Anna Maria’s Finest

House was clean, on a quiet street, near restaurants and beach. The dock was great for our boat with easy access to the gulf. The kitchen lacked measuring cups, can opener and steak knives but we we able to pick those up at the store. The beds were comfortable and and the air conditioner cooled the home perfectly. The pool area could use a good pressure washing but the pool was maintained properly by the pool service. We enjoyed the pool and gas grill for cooking. The outside bathroom was wonderful for rinsing and washing off after a day at the beach. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to another vacation on AMI!

This was a nice home, very spacious. There is a need for a cleaning around the backyard outside of the patio. The patio needs to be pressure washed and swept as my son and I both stepped on tiny pieces of glass during our stay. The sliding glass doors are very hard to open and make it almost impossible to get shut before the 8 seconds alarm starts blaring. The boat dock is very nice and the AC works great! Beds could use new mattress as they are all very hard. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

family vacation/ June 2020

House was great! Only bad part was the air was not working when we arrived. We called and had to wait on hold for almost 2 hours but finally got someone to come out (even on a Sunday at 9:00 at night). So thank you so much!! For future renters make sure you bring your own salt and pepper as there was none. Also there was no foil or plastic wrap. Our kids loved the pool and the lanai was great! My husband fished off the dock so he enjoyed that. The third bathroom which is in the lanai was air conditioned and nice to have by the pool! Rented scooters from Robinhood rentals and had a great time riding around the island. Would recommend this house! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Family Vacation on Anna Maria Island

We had a great stay at this rental. The space was large and clean. The pool was huge (and warm) and the location was convenient to everything on the island. The rental company, Vacasa, had several offices on the island. We had an issue on the first day with the garbage disposal, and they came out to fix it promptly. The bathrooms could use some updating. We changed one of the shower curtain liners because it was moldy, although I imagine Vacasa would have done it if we asked. They left us with some shampoos, soap, small dish washing liquid, and a packet of laundry detergent, but not enough for the week. There were NO dry staples in the house, such as salt & pepper, sugar packets, etc, which would have been nice. Also no can opener...which we had to also buy. An overall nice trip to AMI. We hope to return some day.

Great location

For the price to rent this house I am giving it three stars due to the cons. I would not rent this house again mainly due to the bathrooms Pros Great location, close to beach and on boat canal Lots of space and room and plenty of parking TVs in every room Great entertaining kitchen Plenty of beach chairs and toys Hugh pool patio with a lot of seating Cons Cannot use boat lift although the boat was fine without it Cannot use outdoor kitchen Cannot use wine refrigerator House is a good size but very outdated, furniture was old and dirty Pool and pool area was unclean and needs pressure washed. Deck around pool needs repaired Screen door was broken Bathrooms are very small, not very good water pressure and needs updating No grass in yard The pool alarms were very annoying to deal with. I appreciate the safety Feature but if you are not having young children there there is no need to require them to be on Plenty of pots and pans but bring your own knives

Very Disappointing Experience

Cute place in a decent location. But in desperate need of maintenance. Bathroom fans squealed so loud that you couldn't turn the lights on without disturbing the whole house. Back doors have pool safety alarms, which wouldn't be a big deal if the back doors were working normally. They were so hard to open and close that the alarm goes off every time - and its loud. They also left no bedding for the fold out bed which we discovered at 11pm and had to drive to a store and buy our own. The worst part was we got no communication or response for many attempts to contact Vacasa. I've never actually left a bad review before in my life, but this was unacceptable.

Very poor Vacasa service

We stayed at a property in Florida and it was noticeably unclean when we arrived as well as no AC. We were busy with a family wedding the first 24 hours of our stay and noticed it was very hot in house but gave the AC about 24 hours hoping it was slowly coming to temp. Finally had time to call the host (in this case Vacasa), but had to call 4 different times and ended up waiting over 24 hours to get someone to come out and get the AC going(it was hot out!) They did refund the cleaning fee as well as a few hundred dollars to compensate for the air-conditioning but that was after insistence on my part, not good customer service on their end. I still don’t feel adequately compensated- had no AC over half our stay, and cleanliness issues- but have given up with any more results through Vacasa property management. Also, I would add the property is generally in disrepair (that is not shown in photos) and needs a good amount of maintenance. I would love some compensation from VRBO and feel like I need to leave this very detailed review to warn other potential guests to this property. Let me know if there is anything you can offer beyond what Vacasa did( we got roughly $400 back for our stay)

Anna Maria’s Finest may only be pretty good!

Let’s start with the good. The home itself has a beautiful layout with a fabulous expansive pool/hot tub area with lots of deck seating and pool toys. There is a gas grill for cooking and a large table and chairs for 6 person dining. There is also a full bath with a roomy shower, a second refrigerator and kitchen sink in the outdoor kitchen area next to the pool. The main kitchen is large and includes plenty of items to cook your favorite meals with a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven and large kitchen sink. Adjacent to the kitchen there is a large dining room for inside meals. There are two large living areas that can accommodate a large group for watching TV, listening to music or just relaxing. The three bedrooms are plenty large and the beds are comfortable. The two inside full bathrooms are small but very functional. There are many TVs throughout the home and multiple streaming services are available. There are two garages, one full of all kinds of beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. The other has a nice washer dryer and still plenty of room to park your car inside. Overall the layout of this house is awesome. Anna Maria Island is very walkable and this home does not disappoint for location. It is in a quiet residential area within 2 blocks of the beautiful sand beaches and 2 blocks of the concentration of fun shops and restaurants. The nearest grocery store (Publix) is just a short 4-5 minute drive away. Cool resta

Perfect home away from home!

The location, comfort, cleanliness & communication with Vacasa agents is always the best. We can't say enough great things about this home & the Vacasa people! We'll be back!
