We had a great time spending the week in this rental. The house was really nice and close to the beach and had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The pool was very refreshing after a long hot day at the beach. The kitchen had everything you needed. This was one of our favorite houses that we have rented over the past 8-10 years. We look forward to coming back next year.

Beautiful home. Great communication throughout our stay. Beds very comfortable and nice furnishings. Back yard shady the end of February so didn't use as much as we would have liked since we had cooler weather. Enjoyed the deck and ground level patio.
Front driveway-rent a golf cart!

We had a great week's stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable, and updated. It looks just like the pictures. They had plenty of towels and a washer and dryer. The pool was a good size and was perfect to relax in after a day at the beach. The beach is a 10 minute walk and there is a wagon, beach chairs and an umbrella to use. There is also a gas grill that we used one night for burgers and brats. The best part was we could bring our dogs. The house is situated in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood so walking the dogs was a pleasure. We would definitely book this house again.

We loved our stay at the Island Hideaway! We had a great experience and loved the property. We had 4 adults and a teenager and it was plenty big for everyone! The heated pool was a major hit! It is located next to a church and in a nice and quiet area on the island. I would definitely stay here again! Parking was great and we had plenty of room for 2 cars and a golf cart for the week. We have vacationed on Anna Maria for 10 years now and will definitely consider this property in the future!Only suggestion I would give is to add TVs to each bedroom. There was only a TV in the living room and master bedroom and with a teenager and grandparents it would have been nice for everyone to watch what they wanted in the evenings and before bed. Nothing I would complain about but something to consider!

We loved this property. It’s close enough to everything, but it’s still very private. We’ve been coming to AMI for years, and this is the best stay so far. We will certainly be back.
