SS Salamander South · 2 Full Baths · Heated Pool

VRC16-000500

2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 5 · Very Short Walk to Gulf · Two Full Bathrooms · Heated Pool · Gas Grill · Outdoor Seating · Outdoor Shower · Shared Laundry · Off-Street Parking (2 Spaces) · Free Trolley · Streaming TV

One block from the Gulf in Holmes Beach — a very short walk to the beach, and guests who find SS Salamander South come back year after year. One guest has made more than ten trips to Anna Maria Island and calls this their go-to. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident.

The backyard is the shared centerpiece. A heated pool sits within lush tropical landscaping alongside a gas grill and outdoor seating — the setup for evenings that naturally extend well past sunset. An outdoor shower handles the post-beach rinse. Large front deck for the family to gather.

Two bedrooms sleep five. The primary bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a full bed and a twin bed. Two full bathrooms — the key practical advantage over the north unit for groups where everyone wants their own bathroom access. The living room has a 55" smart TV with streaming. The kitchen is fully stocked for home-cooked meals. Shared full-size washer and dryer on the property. Parking for 2 vehicles.

Local bars, restaurants, ice cream shops, boutiques, and the free AMI trolley are all within easy walking distance.

SS Salamander South requires a one-week minimum stay. No pets.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

House was clean and well stocked. The pool is very nice, and the beds were comfortable. Just a short walk to the beach. The trolley runs every 20 minutes during the day which makes it very convenient to shop and explore the island. Although I gave the place five stars the pool did have quite a lot of debris in it from the palm trees. It would be beneficial to have the older palms cleaned up and trimmed. Also there wasn’t any cabinet space in the kitchen for our supplies.

Cozy little rental

The property and location was perfect. We adored the quiet neighborhood, very relaxing, steps away from the beach. The pool was outstanding with the water feature. The home it self is small but perfect for our family of 4. The only complaints we had were the beds not being very comfortable. Other wise the place is great and property manager was wonderful checking in on us multiple times. Definitely recommend this rental!

Timely response to our requests were great and we will certainly stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at SS Salamander. The unit was as advertised. It was clean, had everything we needed, was about three blocks from the beach, and maybe five blocks from the trolley pickup. The staff at Island Properties was easy to work with through the whole rental process. We had a tv issue when we checked and and called the office. They put us on the maintenance schedule where the person who was coming texted us to tell use when he would be there. All around good experience.

VERY DISSATISFIED!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We left the property a day early. Not happy at all about the dirty pool when we arrived, having to wait til Monday for the pool to be clean enough to use, only using it Monday night because by Tuesday the pool was no longer heated. I spoke with a manager on Tuesday who said he would get back to me and NEVER DID! To this DAY! Didn’t even have the courtesy to call me or email me!! The experience was inexcusable!!! I PAID to have a HEATED POOL for our vacation!!!! Our vacation was a BUST since I leased this vacation rental for the SOLE PURPOSE to have a heated pool to use all week! We drove 1100 miles to have a heated pool and be close to the Gulf of Mexico. If your company can’t respond to me and compensate me for this, I will feel obligated to post this information, along with the video and photos of the state of the pool at this location, on social media. As I said, I called on TUESDAY and spoke with a manager and was told I would hear back from him and he never contacted me. We were able to swim in that “heated pool” ONE TIME this week. This was for the unit located at 121 50th Street A on Anna Maria Island. To this day, Monday, April 17, I STILL have not been contacted by ANYONE at this company!!! Other than them sending me 2 emails asking me to review and rate my vacation rental!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful time saying over spring break. Great location. You can't beat 175 steps to the entrance to the beach. Pool area is great for when the gulf was a little chilly. The unit itself was clean and adequately stocked. Could use more than one extra roll of TP. There were some general maintenance issues that need attention, but would not stop from staying again.

Even though we had a few glitches the rental management were took care of everything right away. The property owners need to address a few worn out cushions on the deck. I highly recommend Island Vacation Properties.

Be careful

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This company used to have great customer service but something has changed — we experienced maintenance issues including electrical (never resolved), dryer vent appeared to be clogged, and the pool heater didn’t work (eventually fixed after multiple calls/email/visits). The office manager did not honor his team’s commitments in a “custom” rental agreement. Not the same customer experience we’ve enjoyed in the past.

Great Quiet Stay, Close to the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was exactly as described, perhaps even better then expected. While this is one unit of a two unit location, the units don't even share a wall so you can't hear anything from the other unit. The beach is barely a block and a half away, a very easy walk, and the pool area makes for a relaxing, secluded spot when you don't want to walk. It is the perfect size for a couple or a small family looking for a great beach location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was in a great location. We were pleasantly surprised that the pool was larger than it looked in the photos. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The management company was easy to work with and more pleasant then others that I have used in the past. The only downsides to this rental were: no ceiling fans in the bedrooms, could not find a remote for the cable tv, and a couple light bulbs were burnt out.
