The home was great. It could use a few minor updates here and there but overall we loved the location, house layout, and cleanliness. The pool area and canal were great. Overall the pool itself could use a deep cleaning.

There were 6 adults in our group and we all got very comfortably for 2 nights. House is walking distance to the beach if you don’t have a lot of stuff to carry. It’s also close to a few restaurants and shops.The pool could use aesthetic updates but it was clean and temperature was refreshing. The hot tub doesn’t heat up, that would’ve been nice. Outside grill/kitchen area was very clean and handy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this property.

Beach life

This properly appears to be recently renovated. It was clean however it needed a few more repairs. The ceiling fan in the main bedroom need to be replaced. Bed needed repaired. The pool cage screen needed repaired. Bugs were coming in and biting us. Pool deck needs pressure washing. Small repairs would have made our stay perfect.

Issues with basic accommodations

*bed frame in master en-suite is broken. Wood is actually cracked but very few screws are holding this frame together so all the slats supporting the mattress move. Was not able to get a decent nights rest. Sheets were poor quality and did not fit well. No mattress protector at all. We had to try and repair the frame enough to just try and sleep on it.*bbq grill was unsanitary and a fire hazard with the massive amount of grease residue *fans on beautifully pictured patio either don’t work or only sometimes work*pool/patio area was a mess. A previous review on 6/12/25 mentioned plastic finger nails around the porch, dirtiness, broken concrete on waterfall-all issues still remained unrepaired by our visit on 6/29/25*hot tub/spa runs but doesn’t warm??*AC does not adequately cool the front king bed room*had to tighten legs on living room chairs as they were all loose and could not be used as such*lots of warning about disarming the sliding door alarms, however the didn’t work our entire trip*could only use one set of sliding doors as other sets to patio would not open*diswasher isn’t mounted well and when you open the door it come out of the cabinet*kitchen sink does not drainHouse has potential and looks great in pictures but actual condition is much different. It is truly a great location but needs basic attention to be comfortable and safe.

Great location, great space

We stayed over Easter. The house itself was great, it appeared to be recently updated.The one thing the house lacks is curb appeal. There was no landscaping , just overgrown weeds, even around the pool. I found myself pulling weeds because there were so many. Kitchen has everything you need. Local property management was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Overall a good stay, would definitely come back.

Great Location - Plenty of Room

The home interior is very nice - plenty of room, clean, comfortable beds, TV's in all of the rooms. The location has beach access about 2 blocks away. Also, about 2 blocks is Jenny and Jane E's restaurant and shop - very popular spot and great food and atmosphere. We got the impression we were the 1st tenants after a change in ownership or remodel as (1) the keypad instructions were incorrect and we finally were able to enter the home with keys from the lockbox (2) the garage door has to be manually opened and we had rented a golf cart which would not clear the garage door unless someone tall enough could fully raise it (3) there were no trashcans or toilet paper holders in 2 of the 3 bathrooms (4) there were no hooks in 2 of the bathrooms and anywhere on the patio to hang wet towels, bathing suits, (5) it took a couple of days for the pool man to come and add chlorine to the pull which was turning green (6) the place needs the weeds to be pulled (7) the pick up days for the garbage were incorrect in the book (8) the blender was poor quality - unable to make our "beachy drinks" virgin pina coladas and daiquiri's - I think this was a great place considering - just needs a few things fixed and added to make it more accommodating.

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

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.

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)

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!

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!

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.

overpriced, no heat in pool, many problems

This trip started out poorly due to vacasa(property manager). I was called so that I could check in early. I never asked for that. I arrived after the call to find the cleaning crew still there and told me to leave. Ugh The A/C didn't work. I had to call 3 times on 3 different occasions to repair it. There is even a sign on the unit stating it has problems. Fix it. There was a refrigerator in the living room. Weird. The refrigerator in the kitchen didn't work either. Maintenance crews just walked in as they please with out even ringing the bell. What???? The main reason for renting this property was the heated pool. Unfortunately the heater was not working and we came to find out that they knew about it a month and never fixed it. We couldn't even use the pool or jacuzzi because it was sooo COLD! The outside area by the pool was filthy. It looks like they never clean it. The beds are rock hard and my neck and back hurt every morning. One bedroom is the size of a closet. Overall a terrible experience at this property. I would NEVER stay here again! I want a refund!!!

Needs TLC

Decking and fans in pool area need replacing. Fans are filthy and rusted. The decking is badly stained nd chipping close to entry and table area. Inside furniture is stained, dirty, and faux leather clutch cushions are peeling. Kitchen is very nice. There is a wine cooler but locked so you can't use it. There are 3 bathrooms but one is outside in pool area. The other two are small. One is a small jack n Jill that is shared. The beds were comfortable. The best part was being on the canal, hot tub and being 2 block from the beach
