Lovely island home - 1 block to Pine Street, 2 dogs OK

I loved how bright and sunny it was. I loved the view of the sunsets from the balcony. Plenty of spacious rooms for all the girls to sleep and hangout. I also loved the private pool.

We stayed a few nights at Spring oasis and it was great for us. it had everything we needed. Beds were good, extra blankets in closets! I was nervous based on some other reviews but other than some dated decor it was good. The floors are super dark so it showed every little speck of dirt (only after us being there) House was extremely clean when we checked in. Only complaint was there was no light in laundry room. Great location too!

The house was in a really nice position with an easy walk to the beach and bay as well as the restaurants and shops nearby. We had lots of room, the bedrooms were a good size and the living room and kitchen were great, the kitchen was really well equipped with everything you would need and more. The pool was small but was very nice to have to swim in on the evenings or mornings when you didn't want a full beach day.

I find the pros and cons reviews the most helpful so I wanted to share what we thought was good and not so good. First of all, this was not the place we booked. Our place was not ready so they changed our booking and this was the only house available in Anna Maria with a pool (which was very important to us). Due to the weather being bad most of our visit, we spent the majority of the time in the house and left a day early. The Pros: The house itself inside was clean and spacious enough for our family of 5. The beds were comfortable and the balconies were large. It is a short walk down to the beach and the beach was beautiful. It is close to shops and restaurants. Cons: There are 2 big balconies, one off the family room and one off the bedrooms. The one off the bedroom had no furniture, not even a chair to sit on. The other had a comfy couch and a table and chairs. The fridge could be replaced, some of the shelves in the fridge you couldn't put anything with any weight on or they would fall. Most of the cons are outside. The pool had not been cleaned, there was a bandaid at the bottom of the pool and other debris. There was a skimmer pole but no skimmer net so we couldn't even clean it ourselves. There are 2 chairs only and multiple bottles/cans tossed in the bushes around the pool. It was saltier than the ocean water. We only used it for 5 minutes and got out. If you are pool people, this is not the house for you. The garage was broken, we couldn't use the opener to open it. We had to go into the door in the back to open it from the inside. You could tell it hadn't been used in a while. It looked like it used to be used for recreation, there was a pool table pushed to the side and random misc items. There were 2 garbage cans that were full to the top with garbage and had bugs all over them. We tried to take them out on garbage day but they got passed multiple times. I think it's because they don't have the correct cans so they aren't picking them up. I notified Vacasa of this when we left. we also tried to get the garage fixed on day one but they submitted the ticket to a person in Utah which wasn't very helpful. We didn't pursue after that cause I didn't want to deal with the garage my whole vacation. There was garbage around the vicinity of the house and a bait bucket that was full and made the outside of the house smell horrible. I would stay in Anna Maria again, but we would not stay in this house again.
