Excellent stay!

We really enjoyed this home. It was the perfect size for our family of 3, nicely updated and super clean.It felt very much like a home away from home. We had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, nice sheets and towels and a kitchen stocked with most essentials. Located well in a residential area, which I really liked, but right around the corner from the beautiful beach.Management was very attentive and responded right away to answer any questions. We really enjoyed our Gem cart, which was in the garage upon arrival. It was fun to explore the island. I was very impressed with how Lizzy Lu’s does business! You can tell they really care about their properties and the guest experience. Pool and patio area was very tropical and cozy.

Everything Needed for an Awesome Vacation

The property was exactly as advertised and the priority managers have thought of everything needed for a vacation. The property was very clean and well maintained. It was also nice to see a kitchen appointed with decent utensils and equipment and not cheap flimsy stuff. I highly recommend the $50 for the beach cabana package! We will return!

Paradise! Would love to stay here again!

We loved our stay on Anna Maria Island and this house was perfect. Property was in a great location – couple minutes to walk to the beach and had a fantastic private pool and fenced in yard. The house had everything you would need including small appliances in the kitchen and a garage filled with all beach gear you might need. Lizzie Lou’s was very professional throughout the whole process.

Beautiful, well maintained and clean!

The Starfish Shack was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, the walk to the beach was easy and short, and we were in a nice neighborhood. The house had everything we needed and the beach supplies were great! We've stayed in other nice houses but the beach equipment was cheap or broken. The wagon was newer and the beach chairs were very nice! We would stay here again in the future for sure! The house is small but it didn't feel cramped. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 small children. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing location !

Großartige Umgebung zu entspannen. Tolle, brandneue Duplexeinheit mit eigenem Pool und Garage. Super Ausstattung. Praktisch alles vorhanden, auch Badehandhandtücher! Nach 38 Jahren Erfahrungen mit Florida Urlauben war es das schönste Fleckchen Erde in Florida was wir kennen gelernt haben.
