10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Our stay was wonderful overall! The views from this home are absolutely stunning! When we arrived, the door code didn’t work but management quickly fixed it (the keypad had lost internet connection). The bigger issue was a 2-day power outage, which definitely made things uncomfortable, especially with our elderly dog. By the time management offered to move us, the power company had already restored service.That aside, the home itself was clean, cozy, and well cared for. The views are absolutely gorgeous and the back porch was our favorite spot! The garage was great for storing bikes, and the house came with plenty of beach chairs, toys, and even an umbrella. Only small suggestion: add hot pads in the kitchen.We also noticed the public access next to the home, but it was only a few people here and there for sunrise/sunset, and it never bothered us.In summary: management was attentive, the home was comfortable, and the views were stunning. We would definitely return!

Our family loved our week at this lovely beach home, an older house that has been thoughtfully remodeled. Gorgeous views of the bay from the living room and kitchen! Back deck has plenty of space to lay out in the sun. The sea wall is near the deck, and the beach area is rocky with about 6 feet to water during day. At night, water covers rocks and laps up to sea wall…beautiful and peaceful.My teenage daughter and her friend enjoyed having their own space in the upstairs loft bedroom with its en suite bath. Husband and I found the primary bedroom to be spacious and very comfortable. Third BR went unused but is very nice as well. Practical points: —Kitchen has plenty of dishes, glasses, mugs, serving bowls, utensils, plastic food storage containers, etc. Standard drip coffee maker. Electric water boiler (great for tea and coffee press; bring your own press if that is your thing.) —Second refrigerator in garage, perfect for extra drinks —Beach gear stored in garage: 2 wagons, 2 umbrellas, at least 6 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards, and lots of pool noodles and sand toys! —For full beach experience, we walked about 4-5 blocks along North Shore Drive to one of the access points for Bean Point Beach. Street parking (for car or golf cart) is limited. We found it was about as quick to walk. —Anna Maria Life rental company was super responsive when we had a small clog in the garbage disposal. They sent someone out same day. Wonderful home! We hope to return!

Nice layout with excellent common spaces in the home. Kitchen is a touch small but the seating areas close by make up for it! Well thought out design for vacation living. Indoor and outdoor seating/eating options, spectacular views and our fury family was thrilled also!

The listing did not match the houses interior furniture. The coffee pot was not as pictured, we brought our pods from home. We had to buy coffee filters and coffee filters. Walked outside to see the patio furniture was not the same as pictured, the door leading to the beach in the picture doesn’t exist on the property. The house is located on a beach wall which is not what is shown in the picture. Both king size beds were uncomfortable, the pillows had little to no support. This location had a beautiful view, the house was clean for the most part. We enjoyed our stay, the house was very nice & neat. We had everything we needed.
