Yellowfin Inn: Luxury canal-front, pool home on Anna Maria Island

We had an amazing stay at Yellowfin Inn! The house was spacious and beautifully appointed and it had all the comforts of home and then some. The pool and hot tub gave us plenty to do on rainy days - and the beach and restaurants were within walking distance once the rain cleared out. Thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and would stay here again!!

Perfection!! That one word summarizes our stay at the Yellowfin Inn!! From the moment we arrived it far exceeded our expeditions. We have rented homes for at least 15 years and this one takes the cake! The house was immaculate and that says a lot given the amount of sand that a beach house accumulates. The home was exactly as pictured. Huge and spacious for our party of 6. The kitchen is spectacular! The furnishing were all top notch! We loved the beachy vibes in all of the bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. Don't even get me started on the coolest bunk room I have ever seen!!! The kids went crazy over this! It is a block from the beach and although we rented a golf cart for our stay, it was not necessary, it was literally a few minute walk. We loved the putting green and easy access to the canal where the kids paddleboarded daily. We sooo appreciated having part of the pool and lounge spaces under the house. We had either extreme heat or rain so being under cover didn't stop us from enjoying the pool. There were plenty of lounge chairs for everyone to enjoy sunning on the pretty days. The beach towels provided were nice and big and made packing easier not having to bring them with us. Our blender broke the final day and I sent through a message to let them know before the next renters arrived and much to my surprise we hear a knock at the door and there stood someone with a new blender!! It's things like that make Soto's customer service top notch. We will definitely be back!!

It’s a nice place for the most part. Cleaning was not great. Under the beds and behind dressers we found half eaten candy, garbage, and dust where you can tell they haven’t cleaned in months. Master bedroom had 1/2 roll of toilet paper on the roll and no spares anywhere until you bought your own. Disappointing how dirty areas were and lack of basic supplies for the rent they charge.

Beautiful home, easy walk to the beach. We loved having bikes and paddle boards for use in the canal and ocean. The pool was so refreshing being half in the shade. This rental house was perfection!
