We had a great stay at the Glass House on the Bay! The house is modern and clean. Views of the bay can be seen from the pool and even better views from the rooftop deck. We rode bikes to the local beaches and restaurants. AMI is beautiful and so is this house!

Anna Maria Visit
The house was amazing with beautiful views and it was everything you could have asked for. We have stayed several other locations on the island and this was by far our families favorite.

Simply PERFECT!
There are so many wonderful things to say about this home. The home itself is gorgeous. Modern style, wonderful layout with multi floor living including a hot tub on the roof to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Clean and very comfortable. The location is in my opinion the best on the island. Walk across the street for the beach on the bay side and just a short walk to shops and restaurants. You can also walk to the other side of the island for the crystal clear waters of the gulf side. We found ourselves going to the beach, then coming in for lunch and enjoying the pool. It is on a main road, but most of the time those driving by are slowing down to look at the house. It's that beautiful! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Beautiful Home
We only stayed 2 nights so no time to enjoy all this home had to offer. Will book again, hopefully for 5-7 days next time. Code inside garage did not work and was not able to reach contact as we checked in after 5
