We had a great Stay here The house is perfect very clean exactly as it’s stated. Everything you could need in the kitchen All the rooms were spotless. Pool was perfect The boat dock was great for our boat nice and easy for docking and getting out to the inland water way. The house is in the perfect location for Anna Maria and Bradenton. Keep and eye out for Eddie the egret he will visit in the morning and evening for his daily fix of crab he lets you feed him Overall the house is perfect in many ways We will definitely be back next year Oh and the beds are so comfortable

Comfortable and convenient FL escape!

This property was exactly what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The best part was the super convenient location, with all that Anna Maria Island has to offer just a very short drive away. A few minor things looked like they were in slight disrepair (screen porch door, outdoor furniture, garage door) but the interior was otherwise pretty immaculate. We had a little miscommunication with the property manager regarding checkout, but resolved it pretty quickly and did not impact our stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the area without actually being on the island.

5 stars! Would stay here again!

We checked in on a Wednesday and sadly my teenager woke up Thursday morning with a cold. The last thing that you want to happen the first full day of vacation. But, the way the house was laid out she could rest comfortably while we still were able to make the most of it, until the rest of us got her cold… then we were thankful for comfortable beds and easy to use televisions. We made the most of our trip and have great memories. The amazing woman across the canal, Chasten Whitfield, (a professional fisherwoman) came over to help our 8 yr old set up her fishing pole. She caught some catfish right in the canal and thanks to Chasten we knew not to touch them! We had minor things come up, a drain was clogged, sliding screen door fall off the track, and two outlets were not working. The property manager was so quick and helpful. We truly appreciated her help! Overall we made the best of a bad situation and even though it was not the vacation we hoped for, the pool was amazing while we were able to use it, the bedrooms were comfy and the house was clean and well stocked. We had a few requests that they graciously helped us out with and we look forward to staying here again when we are all healthy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PROPERTY!!

Great updated house near AMI!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the newly updated property near AMI! My husband, 2 teens, and mother had plenty of room to spread out. We stayed in another property in this neighborhood a few years ago; the neighborhood is quiet and great for walking/running. My husband and son caught many fish off the dock, and we loved the pool! My teen son was happy to find that it had a basketball goal. The kitchen and house were well stocked, even including beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, beach towels, etc. It was easy to get in touch with the property manager when we had a few quick questions. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Nice place with a couple issues

Rental process was easy and smooth. Home is nice with a great pool area, although it is very clear that this is purely a rental property for the owners. The furniture throughout is fairly uncomfortable, including the pool furniture, which consists of some plastic lounge chairs and a very small and upright seating area - no way to lie down and relax. The mattress in the master bedroom is shot and sags badly towards the middle. We were charged to heat the pool, but the property manager refused to heat the pool above 85 degrees (90 is pretty standard for this time of year), so even after being charged the pool was really too cold to use (the weather was cloudy and windy, so not ideal conditions). The kitchen is very nice and well stocked and the property was immaculately clean.

What a beautiful place, very clean and spacious and we brought our boat and docked it there

Quiet and relaxing canal with not much movement. Very close to Bean point with only a 25 minute boat ride and about the same to Jew Fish Key and Beer Can Island. Can't wait to do it over as soon as the property becomes available again.
