Sea Whisper: North End gem w/ pool & dock

We loved our stay ! Close to the beach and were able to fish and swim in pool.

This location was the PERFECT place for us and our friends. Centrally located on the North end of Anna Maria Island, it’s only 10-15 min walk to beaches and 8-10 min walk to numerous eating establishments. The house is lovely with a large covered screened-in lanai and a large pool that was great. Supplied with everything you could possibly need. 3 bedrooms each with their own full bath. Open plan kitchen-living-dining area perfect for a small group like ours (6 adults)Communication with owner was easy and quick! Quiet area but very close to restaurants and night life. Would definitely book again next time in AMI!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Whisper! We were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go and the beach was so close. Beach towels and a super efficient washer and dryer made things even easier. Watching the manatees off the dock and going for a quick kayak was a great way to wind down after a day at the beach. Jen was easy to communicate with and so helpful.

Pros: Overall the property was nice. There was just two of us, so there was more than enough room for us to stretch out, but the property would also be good for a family or couples that might want to travel together as each bedroom has a bathroom attached. The inside of the house was clean upon arrival, and the bed in the bedroom that we used was comfortable. The washer/dryer seemed new and the wi-fi worked without issues. The covered patio outside was also nice and came in handy for a few rainy days that we had during our stay. The pool person came each Thursday to check the pool, the grill worked well (although a bit worn on the inside), there were a few eating options within walking distance and the neighborhood was quiet. There were some beach chairs and a beach umbrella for use as well, although a few of the chairs were in rough shape. There were some bikes there that I assume were for guest use which was a nice gesture, but they were in rough shape and the tires were flat so the were unusable. Cons: The owner sent a separate rental agreement that stated limited supplies of certain household amenities would be provided such as toilet paper and dish soap, but it was a little disappointing to find what little was actually provided based on the price point of property. We were also surprised to find no dish rack to dry dishes on and to find the lock on one of the sliding doors was not working. (It was basically some loose screws that we were able to tighten enough, and we emailed the owner to make they were aware so they could fully address it after our stay) The outside of the property was a little messy with construction debris/materials stored under the stairs of the garage as well as in a little blocked off patio area which you had to look at as you went to/from the pool or dock. Again, we were blessed to have the opportunity to take a trip like this in the first place, but when you are on vacation I don’t necessarily want that to be what I have to look at. One last thing was that that the shower in the bedroom we stayed in was lacking a gasket on bottom of the glass door so every time you took a shower, the floor by the shower was flooded with water which needed to be cleaned up.
