Amazing house, looks just like the photos, ignore the meh comments from 2-3 years ago it’s now managed by Anna Maria Life Rentals who we found to be awesome, very responsive. Pool and hot tub (yes real hot tub not just a spa!) were not quite working when we got there but they jumped on it. We had a great time, walkable to nearby restaurants (The Porch - yum - hit happy hour for 1/2 price bottle of wine to go with fabulous dinner) and sunsets. Wonderful house, quiet side street, five stars. Would definitely return.

Beautiful location and home with some challenges
We've vacationed at AMI multiple times and love the canal side locations - so close to the beach (3 minute walk) and still waterfront with a pool. This was our first stay in this property.
The home is wonderfully decorated and the layout is great for families with a large open floor plan and a very nice ground level patio entertainment space. The pool is great and the hot tub works wonderfully, we even fished (fishing rods provided!) and caught salt water catfish. The management company was very responsive when we called with issues and solved most of them right away, thanks to them for their prompt service!
A few challenges remain for this to be representative of a $6K - $7K weekly rental.
1. Nearly all of the outside lights don't work (burned out we assume) so lighting is an issue, makes it tough to use the grill at night for example
2. The hot tub light is burned out as are most of the landscaping lights
3. The boards on the canal decking need to be sanded/refinished. Several kids got nasty splinters
4. Not enough outside furniture for a home that sleeps 8-10 people. Only 2 lounge chairs at the pool, seating for 3 on the main deck
5. Several of the doors don't shut all the way without a deadbolt. This causes the door alarms to sound when the wind blows, very annoying
6. There is no cable TV that we can find - so you have to have a streaming service to watch live sports or any TV at all really. Plus the TV systems have no instructions so you're guessing. None of the remote controls had batteries upon arrival, management company fixed this the next day
7. Labeling the light switches would be a plus - there are so many that it took several days to figure it all out. Same with the hot tub - instructions for all the buttons
8. The beds and most especially the pillows need to be replaced. Pillows are essentially like sleeping with no pillow at all. When we arrived half the beds had no pillows and the ones that did didn't have enough pillow cases to cover - the management company responded right away the next day to fix this
Overall a wonderful stay yet again on AMI - the house could use some small updates or upgrades or maintenance to be on par with its price. Some of the stuff is so easy to fix, just a little more attention would catch it all.

5’clock Somewhere
We were so glad we were able to still come despite Hurricane Ian. The property had everything my husband and I needed during our stay. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor spaces and porches. The proximity to the beach was very walkable, about 2 blocks.

Perfect Vacation Rental for our family!
We loved our time at this property. The house is exactly as shown. The house is beautiful decorated, linens and towels were high quality and plentiful, house was clean and lovely. Bathrooms and kitchens were beautiful and the frame TVs added to the loveliness. We had several issues with the air conditioning during our stay and they were addressed immediately by the management company (Anna Maria Life) and followed up with by A/C company. They kept us cool despite the technical difficulties. The same was true of the couple times we couldn't get the hot tub to heat up--management company responded immediately and the pool company came twice during our stay to clean the pool. The house feels brand new and the pool area. while a bit older, was wonderful. Kids loved playing basketball, ping pong and volleyball and we loved just hanging in the beautiful yard and watching basketball from the great poolside area. Location was wonderful--close to pine, but quiet street. Great access to everything! We were very pleased with both the property and the management company. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Great Family Vacation
The listing is accurate. We booked our trip and then other reviews were posted that were not good. This made us very skeptical about what to find, since we couldn't change our dates, etc. The kitchen was stocked like normal rental properties. The house was clean. Location was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay. You need to be careful on the dock, as some nails are popping up and the wood is older. Pool service came twice the week we were there. We all arrived happy and left happy :)

Great location but....
This property is in a great location and it was so nice to have a dock for our boat. Having an elevator was great too. The house was cleaned but there were a bunch of things that couldn't be seen from the pictures. The couch cushions were very stained as were the pool chair cushions. I actually tried to clean the pool chairs but ended up running to Lowes and purchased new ones, red was all they had. The outdoor furniture was pretty stained too. One ottoman was totally ripped up. The stairs up to the master bedroom actually had some carpet tacks sticking up so I recommend wearing shoes. Also wear shoes on the dock as my son got a nail stuck in the bottom of his foot. The kitchen was clean but we ended up having to go buy some rocks glasses and some new kitchen knives as they were very dull and some had the tips broken off. There is also an exposed electrical socket in the bunk bed room. The first main floor toilet lifts when you is on it. There were a bunch of beach items in the garage from the previous renters that were dirty and sandy. All in all our stay was less than average but like I said it was a great location and they do accept pets. Probably wouldn't stay again though.

This was the worst property and property Mgt co. The pool heater never worked nor did the spa .
The Mgt co claimed there had not been a dog in the house for 9 months. That was a lie. The neighbors said there are dogs there all of the time. I had to sleep on the patio outside. Sick house. Horrible Mgt co. Disputing all charges.

Minor issues/ 5 O’clock Somewhere
We had a few minor problems when we first arrived at the property (upstairs A/C wasn’t working, the driveway was filled with palm seeds that were rotting and attracting bugs/mosquitos and the hot tub was crawling with ants). However, after calling the property manager, the maintenance guy came out to access the A/C within 1/2 hour AND had a company come within 3 hours to repair it. Also, the pest control guy came to spray right away and suggested to the property manager that the lawn crew come to clean up the driveway (which they did within a few days). There are a few things that can be repaired and improved at the house. The property manager and/or the owner need to do a walk-thru and have the stains on the carpet cleaned, repair the door handle, etc. I feel that we paid A LOT to rent this house for a week and really shouldn’t have these types of issues to deal with. I realize that sometimes things happen, but the carpet stains, the loose door handle going out to the deck, the dirty couches are preventative in nature.
