Very nice and clean property , the owner is very responsive. Quiet neighborhood and short walking distance to the beach. Would definitely stay there again !
I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel like this one deserves a 5 star rating. It’s walking distance to public access beach. Near the restaurants, Publix and still quiet. Very clean and an attentive host. I would actually star here again.
We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. We were there for Thanksgiving week. There were five adults and one toddler. The house and its layout were very comfortable for this group. The house was immaculate and superbly equipped, and in fact virtually everything, including beach gear, all seemed brand new. The location with respect to the beach, as well as north and south town areas, was also excellent. The communication with the owner was outstanding. One side of the house does face the island’s major thoroughfare so there is some road noise, but it never bothered us. We highly recommend this house.
We had s fantastic stay at this spacious VRBO home! The split floor plan, with two bedrooms on one side and one on the other, provided the perfect privacy for our teenagers, making it an ideal family retreat. The house was impeccably clean and fully stocked with high-quality kitchen, bath, bed, and beach equipment — truly everything we needed for our vacation. We loved the variety of game options available, which kept us entertained in the evenings. Plus, it's just a short 5-minute walk to the beach or a 5 minute drive to shopping and restaurants! Our host was amazing, always responsive and friendly, ensuring our stay was seamless. We can't wait to return. Book this house — you won't regret it!
This house was in a fantastic location. It was a couple of blocks from the beach and in between the restaurants and stores to the north and south of Ana Maria. You are within walking distance but we rented bikes for the week which made it super easy to cover all parts of the island. Also, the layout of the house was perfect for our group: me and my husband with four 15 year old girls. The master bedroom was on one side and the other two bedrooms were on the other which gave everyone their own space and privacy. It was also very helpful that each room had their own full bathroom. The middle of the house was the large TV area and kitchen. The sofa was huge and accommodated everyone comfortably. The kitchen had a ton of space for our snacks and cooking. Last, the garage hang out area was very fun for the girls. They enjoyed hanging out and playing ping pong and darts, etc. It really is a great house that comes fully equipped with all that you need! We would definitely rent again if we return to Ana Maria.
