When I didn’t see any reviews on the Crane’s Nest listing, I was a little apprehensive about booking the property. But, after staying there…I am 100% happy that we did! Everything was spectacular! The place looks just like the pictures. The bikes and the awesome golf cart (with a cool sound system) were such a plus, since we didn’t have a car. The beds were clean and comfortable and there was a large of kitchen supplies. The house is convenient to the beach and very near the pool. We had a couple of minor things that were immediately taken care of, but that did not keep my family and me from enjoying our vacation to Anna Maria Island. The communication between VRBO and me was outstanding. They got back to me very quickly with questions I had. If we ever make it back again to the Island, we will definitely book the Crane’s Nest!

Excellent week at Crane’s Nest! This rental was perfect for our family of four and small dog. Very clean, high end furniture and decor, stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the porch and the quick 5 min walk to the beach at 65th street. The grill also works great! Will stay here again!

LOVED! This house has everything you could possibly want for a beach vacation! The golf cart was a huge bonus to have for the week! Parked our car the day we arrived and only needed it once. The house is so spacious and fully stocked from games to Tupperware to cooking supplies! We will definitely be staying again!
