Family Vacation

Wehad a group of 10 stay at this property and it worked out perfect. All of the couples had their own king bedroom and bathroom and the kids had their own room. This property looked just like the pictures. We spent a ton of time in the private pool and were only a few blocks from the beach and a very short walk to the bay to fish. This was a great property!

A very nice property

We all really enjoyed our stay and its proximity to the beach and trolley access. The property is lovely and everyone enjoyed their space and the pool and game area. Our frustration was the loud partying that seemed to begin at about 10 pm. Three surrounding homes were involved on different nights. Of course, we were there for a family vacation, not spring break, and we had an amazing time even though sleep was sometimes interrupted.

Clean and modern, walk to beach and nice pool.

Nice clean room with connected bathrooms. Built-in elevator. Roomy living room and clean kitchen with big fridge. Nice pool area with BBQ grill but it ran out of propane after one use. Parking: 2 car garage, 2 car on driveway. Warning, no off street parking at night else you will get a 70 ticket by the city. Green garbage can is for trash and blue garbage is for recycle only, else city will not pickup your trash. Publix, Walgreens near by. Only issue we got was the faucet in the second floor bedroom’s bathroom is barely has water but we put in a call but didn’t get fix by time we left.

Fun Beach Vacation

Lots of things to do for all ages. Especially enjoyed the pool, hot tub, outdoor living area, and beach within walking distance. Would recommend renting golf carts as everything on the island became easily accessible with them.

Memorable

The house had room enough however the driveway was too small for three vehicles. Construction and flooding of our roads was not ideal for our week, but we worked around it and still made it to the beach every day. The most used and favorite part of the property was the pool/outdoor area! Excellent little retreat no matter the time of day. However, spraying the back yard for mosquitos would be ideal so as to cut down on the amount of bites we received the whole week. My sis in law found a cockroach in her bathroom, so other than that and those few setbacks with flooding, mosquitos and parking, it was a good week.

Great location for families

You can find dolphins catching fish across the street and the somewhat quiet beach is just a few blocks away. Publix is a short drive and restaurants are in walking distance. Kitchen is fully functional and the back yard area is perfect for dining. Pool and hot tub were great, as was the private feel of the back yard We loved that many rooms had king beds, but the mattresses were not comfortable.

Wonderful

Absolute Paradise is exactly as advertised. We had our two children (34 & 28) spouses and grandchildren down for our annual family vacation. We could not ask for a better property, plenty of room for everyone, absolutely spotless and the pool was a lifesaver with the fickle weather. We would absolutely recommend Absolute Paradise and Anna Maria Life Vacations for any family or group looking for a beautiful property with room for everyone.

Great vacation rental

We stayed during the 2nd week of October- the house has plenty of rooms for everyone. It was very clean inside and out. Very short walk to the beach. Easy walk to the trolly stop as well. The grill was out of gas but they gave us two tanks promptly. The pool was having issues heating up but after a few visits from the repair guy it finally started working. Overall we would be back!

Absolute Paradise

Our 3 families had an excellent stay. The home had plenty of room for 12 of us. The poolside seating under the house was an extra bonus with the huge tv. The elevator was a nice touch for when we had groceries to get up to the main floor. Everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Plus,the pool was bigger than expected! It was an easy 2 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed the 3 bikes to explore a little farther. I would definitely suggest renting a golf cart to get around the island. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a great property! I am giving it 5 stars because > 5 isn’t possible. Yes, the kitchen is tight. But EVERYTHING else is PERFECT!! Great bedrooms! Great shared spaces! Amazing pool! Fantastic location! Easy interactions with property management team! You should stay here!

Our Experience at Absolute Paradise

The pool and bedrooms were great. However, when we checked in, we found the refrigerator ice maker was not working (or we thought so). We later learned there was a switch that needed to be turned on.. I contacted the rental agent and told them it didn't work, then called back to tell them it was working. The ice machine in the house is not adequate for14 people, mainly adults. There was also a broken part in the bottom self of the refrigerator. I will just list my concerns about this property. ...the kitchen space does not accommodate more than one or maybe two people. Renters need to know this. ...there needs to be more cooking utensils, pots and pans. You need to better communicate this in your listing. ...There was an infestation of what we think were termites in the first floor master. The termites got into our luggage, clothes, etc. We sent pictures to the rental agency showing the problem. There is a soft spot in the floor where we think the termites came in. This was a huge negative for us and our experience. ...We were disappointed that there was no bathroom access at the pool. ...when we raised the blinds/window treatments, the window glass was not clean/smudged. We saw this almost immediately after we checked in. Was not a good first impression. We feel the house did not match the listing showed.

Lovely home, great location

Overall, this was an awesome property. A few minutes easy walk to the beach. We were pleasantly surprised that there are 4 king bedrooms now. Only the bunk bed room remains with the queen and twin bunks, and the 6th bedroom has the daybed with twin trundle. Management was responsive to the small issues we had. The shower curtain needed to be replaced and a few bulbs were out. While the bedrooms are spacious, the home layout is definitely not set up for large groups to gather - very small living, dining, kitchen. And hot water runs out after 20 minutes so if someone in your group takes long or hot showers, be prepared. Pool and hot tub are fabulous. We loved the timers on the bathroom vents! Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

Loved it!

Great location to beach and free trolley! The pool area is so much fun and the house was the perfect size for our group of 14! Loved the beach items that were available for our use. The kitchen was not as stocked as other houses we have stayed in, so if you plan on cooking a bunch you may want to bring your own items (crock pot, electric skillet, kitchen towels, etc.). Would definitely stay here again.

A great family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay. The agents were great to work with. The only thing we were not prepared for was that there were no supplies in the house like more toilet paper, trash bags soaps of all kinds. I am not sure if was because of COVID but other places we have stayed had supplies. But other then that we had a great time and would definitely go again
