Overall Lovely Home

The house was very homey. It felt more like a family home than your usual rental. Filled with beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, towels, etc. The property has a huge deck off the main living room and an additional deck with some ocean views from the master. My only issue was that the hot tub was not hot or even filled up. They tell you that you must pay to heat the pool but not the hot tub too. It would be helpful if that was more clear. Otherwise, it was a place I'd love to come back to.

GREAT LOCATION! Plenty of room for two small family's.

We really enjoyed our week here. The location to the beach was absolutely perfect. There were 6 of us (two families of three) and there was plenty of room to stretch out and hve our space. The owner personally called me in the middle of the week to check in, make sure we had all that we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Bad Service

We have been staying at Anna Maria Island for 15 years. This is always during holiday weeks, after Christmas or spring break. This was by far the worst experience that I have had in these 15 years. I do not usually write reviews. I’ve had only 1 or 2 mediocre stays on the island during the 15 years. We stayed after Christmas and it was colder than normal barely 60 degrees during the day. We’ve dealt with cooler weather in Florida in the past and it really is not a big deal. Generally we plan ahead and will rent a place that advertises a hot tub and a heated pool. The place was fine. Location was nice. This was a management company that I was not familiar with. The management company was Evolve. They listed two phone numbers for their local guest contact, the first one was their housekeeper/secretary and the other was the maintenance/owner. Come to find out owner was at the place a month before we came and left the day that we got there. There was no binder with instructions, had to hunt for a comforter for the master bedroom. The place wasn’t dirty, but wasn’t necessarily clean. There was a lot of dust in corners, ceiling fans. The fridge had an odor and there was a sewing needle in the rug that I stepped on. The pool was not warm and we had to contact the owner who seemed nonchalant about it and the hot tub even after the pool guys came out, never got really hot. Owner was condescending on why I would want a heated pool if there was a beach to enjoy.

Terrific vacation house!

Our 2 week stay on Anna Maria Island was fabulous!! Location of the house was perfect. Proximity to the beach was great. The rental listing doesn’t specify in detail all the items that are available for the beach, including a beach tent. Being able to pull inside the garage and unload as well as pack, the car was a bonus. It made a hot chore more bearable in the summer heat. Nice size kitchen with lots of extras. Living room with the big oversized wraparound sofa was perfect for the 3 of us, after a long day. The large covered porch was a bonus!! Like most summer days, we had pop-up thunderstorms, and were able to sit outside under the ceiling fans an enjoy the rain. I don’t believe the loveseat, oversized chair with ottoman and coffee table were visible in the photos of the porch. The master bed and queen bed were both exceptionally comfortable. The black out blinds allowed us to sleep in, which we all loved. The mature palms trees and other vegetation around the backyard made it very private and quiet for a late afternoon dip in the pool. The size of the house and the layout was just right for the 3 of us. Everyone had their own space. We were never on top of each other. Dave, the property contact was very attentive. We reached out about a couple of things and even got a few good restaurant recommendations. All in all a great vacation rental and we would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks and thank you allowing us to bring our two corgi’s.

For 6 grand a week, expected better

This house needs a lot of updating and was not worth $6000 a week, maybe $3000. There was no instructions on how to operate the pool and spa so we wasted several hours trying to figure that out but never mastered it. Sand was everywhere in the garage and on all beach chairs. Beach chairs were plastic Adirondack and very bulky to try to take to the beach. Knob missing on kitchen cabinet and thermo-foil coming off front cabinet door and outdoor fans didn’t work. Ceiling fans were filthy. The upstairs decking is buckling due to lack of screws in boards and didn’t feel safe walking or sitting out there. Seemed like a safety hazard. Both entrance gates in backyard are not locked so anyone could walk in from the outside and gain access to the pool and the house. Owner came over and put a string and tied a knot on the outside latch, which anyone could have untied and walked right in. Garage door opener didn’t work and microwave exhaust flapper vent constantly makes noise when the wind blew. Overall this house needs a lot of work for the price.

The home was beautiful and clean. We were grateful for the pool and hot tub since we had 1 1/2 days of red tide and going to the beach was unbearable. Over all could not have asked for a more perfect vacation rental at a beautiful home and location close to everything.

Comfortable Home

This house was a very beautiful home. It was so clean that I felt it was my "home away from home". It was so convenient being a half block walk to the beach. After being on the beach there was an outside shower to wash off all the sand. My family and I loved swimming in the nice heated pool. Everything we needed for the beach was in the garage for our use and we especially loved the wagon with extra wide tires to haul the chairs, toys and beach bags to the sunny shore! The beach was pretty white sand and the water was turquoise blue. I would stay there again.

Perfect Adult Family Getaway

Just as advertised. We had 6 adults in our group and the house fit us perfectly. Not only a great location to beach, but the house came with everything needed to bring to the beach. Wagon, chairs, cooler, body boards and life jackets. Hot tub and pool were perfect, once I learned how to operate the remote control. We rented a six passenger golf cart which is a must to maximize your island fun. The ability to keep our SUV and the golf cart in the garage was an added bonus as well. Can't wait to come back..

Great location, great house!

This was the perfect house for 3 adults, 2 kids and an infant. The location was ideal, the house was very “homey”. Plenty of space for everyone! Our only negative was that when we showed up, the pool was super hot (almost hotter than a hot tub) and we couldn’t enjoy it (I’m pregnant so I couldn’t risk it at all). We called the property manager and they were able to talk us through how to fix it. But it took a couple of days for it to cool down and for us to be able to really enjoy it. Kind of a bummer, but overall it was a great stay.

Excellent for family vacation!

Beautiful spot. It is truly a two minute walk to the beach. The beach is huge and not at all crowded. The water is not rough there and there’s plenty of shallow spots for kids to play. The sand is clean and white. Spectacular sunsets. The house has a nice backyard pool too. It’s quite private as the yard is well treed. We were on a family vacation with 4 adults and 2 kids and this home was just perfect. We had a great time and would love to return again in the near future! The home’s bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of pots and pans, dishes, small appliances, etc. It was very convenient to have laundry machines, and nice big beach towels were provided. There is a wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, lots of sand and water toys too. The kids were thrilled. The living room has a great L-shaped sofa that is so comfortable. We loved that we could all sit around comfortably and have a drink together. The covered deck was also great, and we ate all our meals outdoors. The house is starting to show its age with some minor cosmetic repairs needed, but it does not affect the use of the space at all. I highly recommend this rental. You won’t regret it! Great location, good value, comfortable. All good :)

This was our second time staying at the Villa Sand Dollar and it was as beautiful as the first time! The house was immaculate and gorgeous with every thing one could possible need for a great vacation. The house is in one of the best locations in Holmes Beach. The owner even gave us a great tip to access the beach via the street behind the house. Not only was it a shorter distance, but less crowded. We couldn't ask for a better place to spend our vacation!
