Our Mini Vaca Stay at 216 Magnolia was awesome! Mario ( The Host ) was on top of everything, and was eager to help accommodate us in anyway. As a girl who works with the Public, and works off referrals, I appreciate good customer relations. The house is the perfect Beach Bungalow ! Right in the heart of it all. The Locals are friendly, the restaurants are close, and family owned. The whole island is wonderful. We plan to stay again with Mario in his island oasis. Within steps of everything you need....park the car and enjoy the ocean breeze. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay Longer! We will for sure next visit. So much to see, do, and EAT ! Exactly what we were looking for. What a wonderful first experience with AMI and AirBNB .

Great place to call home for a quick escape to Anna Maria Island. Close to beach and great eats all in easy walking distance

Mario was terrific. He always responded promptly to email and we were impressed by the little things he did which show that the cares - chocolate chip cookies, juice, shampoo, area maps etc.

Best location on the island and Mario could not have been a better or more responsive host. We're looking forward to coming back.

Great place to stay

Perfect stay on the north part of AMI! This wonderful spot was close to the pier, my favorite restaurant The Sand Bar and the donut experience! Easy access and a very comfy bed!

We would stay here again if we ever make it back to AMI.

We had a wonderful stay at this great beach house! Absolutely perfect location. Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels, were there for our use- a real plus. Communication with host was easy. Highly recommend and would absolutely return.

Great communication with honors. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time at Audie's cottage. Everything is clean, beautifully decorated and the beach in walkable distance. We found it better than on the pictures! Would come back with our family!

The cottage was exactly as shown on the pictures. Very cozy and tastefully decorated. It was the perfect size and everything was clean and in very good shape. Great location in a residential area but close to the beach and to restaurants and small shops. Audie was a great host. He was extremely responsive and always a step ahead with providing information and helpful recommendations. We would love to come back.

All the previous review are spot-on: clean, beautifully-decorated, and we'll-located with all the little extras that make your stay enjoyable: beach cart/chairs, good laundry machines, and well-stocked kitchen. We'd love to return next spring! I'm not even going back to fix the relentless auto-correct mistakes in this note; that's how relaxed Beach Cruiser has made me.

This lovely spot helped us to make beautiful memories. Though restaurants were close by the well stocked kitchen allowed me to prepare delicious meals for my family! We hope to visit again in the future. Audie was an excellent host.

Super clean and comfortable place to stay for a family of four.

The beachcruiser was just perfect. Very clean, very well equiped with all the beach stuff we needed. Not having to bring beach towels and any linen was very convenient. Audie was very quick to respond to any of our questions durind our stay. I would definately recommand the beach cruiser.

Stayed for 10 nights at this outstanding seaside apartment. Plenty of space, nice layout, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. Excellent value and would definitely stay again.

Nice home in a beautiful and convenient location! Owner sent thorough communication before the stay so we would know what to expect about the house and island. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This place was perfect for us. We have 2 young children and could not have been happier with our stay here. The only thing I wish is that we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back. Thank you Justin!

The Tree House is a wonderful place to stay! Looks exactly like the pictures and is walking distance from the beach. Perfect place to stay when you are at Anna Maria!! I will be back to stay here again to have another wonderful vacation!

Very cute and super clean!! The location is perfect to enjoy the beaches, the sunsets and conviently located to catch the trolley. We arrived at night and we were able to find the house without any problems. Justin gave great instructions and responded to all my emails immediately. The Tree House is a great place to stay while visiting Anna Maria Island!!

Everything was as advertised. House was clean, felt like home, and well stocked for our family of 5. There's very easy access to the beach, which is great since beach parking on the island can be a pain. The house is close to everything you need. Great value and location! The owner was incredibly responsive. We would happily stay again.

Its a great place for a relaxed beach holiday. Justin provided all necessary information and everything went perfect.

The house is so cozy that I never wanted to leave it, the decoration is very nice, everything was clean and organized, it's only two short blocks to the beach. It has everything you need to cook, enough supply of towels (more than needed, which is nice) I loved it, I will definitely go back soon.

Provided timely communication on what to expect and how to access the property. There was no confusion about anything or any issues, so there was not need to contact the host during the stay.

Comfortable, clean ,attractive, spacious, lovely pool-- what more could you ask? The kitchen was so pleasant that we cooked more than we had expected to. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much, Alex and Elena!

This is a lovely home--very clean, well appointed and comfortable. A great location, close to shops, restaurants and the beautiful beach. Alex met us upon arrival with a bottle of bubbly to start our vacation right. He was also helpful in suggesting restaurants for us to try. We had a slight issue with the garbage disposal that he responded to immediately and cheerfully. We were very satisfied and look forward to renting this house again!

The stay at the Happy Island cottage was great! All that had been shared on Airbnb about the place was accurate. Perfect place for a girls weekend - we were celebrating University of Pittsburgh college reunion and had a great time. Everything was that we needed was within walking distance! Alex met us at the property to review how everything worked which was very helpful. He even provided a complimentary champagne and a delicious desert! I'll definitely return to the Happy Island cottage again. Thank you!

We felt so welcomed, not least because we were 1 hour eigentlichem check in already in place, and have been able to move into the house. We were 2 families with a total of 3 children. The house has more than enough space for all. All necessary utensils were available and loving coziness welcomed us. A good starting point for trips and the filled wine cooler in the garage offered us chilled wine on 1 night without shopping. Thumbs up. We will gladly come again.

My stay was absolutely wonderful. We booked on incredibly short notice and Alex and Elena were amazingly response and we were welcomed to an incredible house. It really felt like we were staying at home. Thanks!

Alex and Elena were excellent hosts. House is very spacious and as advertised. Very pleased with our experience!

Nice house. The stairs leading up from the garage are a little tricky, don't wear flip flops on those! We had three families ranging in age from 62-5 months and found the accommodations to be perfect for us!

We had The Best Rental Experience. From the personalized welcome sign, explaining the passwords and details like trash dag and check-out procedures, to the "emergency wine stash" ("drink tonight, replace tomorrow"), every thoughtful detail was taken care of. Clean, modern, well-equiped, large, large bedrooms, adorable backyard pool, well-maintained, well-equipped (kitchen gadgets, BIG screen TV). Alex himself came by to welcome us and offer suggestions on activities during our stay. 4 blocks to coffee house, 4 blocks from the endless beach. 2 mile walk down that beach to all-you-can-eat pancakes at the beach cafe at 40th street. Nice live music playing in the evening from restaurant nearby, but stops at 10. Perfect! We booked again immediately.

This place was wonderful! The home is comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. The pool was wonderful. The beach was close and the beach chairs and toys were great. The wagon made it easy to transport all the items to the beach. We would return to this location again for sure!

The home was lovely and felt so open with the large living space and high ceilings. The home was clean and bed was very comfortable - everything fit! So close to beach to watch sunrise and sunsets! Would have wished for kayak or paddle board rentals nearby. Walking distance to bike rental which you can explore the entire island and more! Not much of a town per se but you can bike into the various beach sections and get great deli sandwiches and hang on the beach, also coffee shops and Donut Experiment made for a fun ride for the younger kids. We weren't super impressed with restaurant food but fun local shops for mementos! Next time we plan to cook out by pool more which will be absolutely fabulous - you can't go wrong with that! Publix grocery store so close as well. Wonderful area around pool - wish the hot tub heated up for the cooler nights. Close enough to do a day trip to Universal Studios too! Overall it was absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to go back! Kris was so helpful and always replied within minutes if we had any questions! Thanks Kris and thanks Holmes Beach for the memories!

Great place ! Great decoration, great swimming pool and really near to the beach. Beach with few people and where you can see dolphins and baby turtles if you have the chance !

We had a great time. The house was beautifully furnished, spotless and quiet. The pool was great, with some shade from the sun. Overall it was a great place to relax and exactly what we needed after hitting the parks in Orlando. There was lots to do on the island; with great places to eat and the beaches and sunsets were incredible. In fact we wished we'd made it to Anna Maria a few days sooner!

The pool was great, location was exceptional, beds were clean, air conditioning was exceptional! Couldn't ask for more, we had an excellent time!

The house was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. We had 8 people total on our trip and it felt very comfortable. The beach was just a short walk and the pool was amazing! We will definitely be back!

We had a great vacation! The house was located so close to the beach and convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. The place was well kept, clean and exactly as described. Kris was a great host and checked in on us on arrival. She made it clear that if we had any questions or problems that we could contact her whenever we needed to. This was an easy process and a great vacation! We look forward to going back!

Kris was an excellent host! He answered all my questions via email and text. His place was beautiful and so very clean. I could have not have asked for more.

My first airbnb experience - excellent! Great place, great location, great parking. Tons of towels, necessary equipment - and more! Lovely pool area! We had a fabulous stay. Host was extremely responsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this fantastic location. The condo was exceptionally clean and inviting. Perfect location in proximity to the beach. While located on. Main road it wasn't noisy or loud. Very well kept grounds and pool. Easy check in and check out. We hope to return in the future.

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!! the PERFECT location, right on the beach, very quiet, scenic and friendly. Joe was very quick in responding to any questions i had at anytime. The home was very clean, and we will definitely be booking with Joe again for our next trip back to anna maria island. perfect family vacation.

Joe's place is in the ideal location on the beach. The condo was very clean and had everything you needed. He was so nice and very helpful. The office manager was also very helpful. This weekend was excellent. The condo is located right on the beach and so quiet. This location is very close to shops, restaurants etc. We will return. Thank you for everything.

Perfect location, great condo with everything you need and more. Dream beach steps away. Joe was great, communication and check in was so easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The condo was very clean and conveniently stocked with beach towels and beach chairs. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that we needed to cook our meals (we did not eat out during our stay). I traveled with my mother and two young children. Overall, the property is very well managed. We had a wonderful time and would return to this condo, without hesitation!

Loved it here. Unit was clean and nicely decorated. Close to the beach and the pool was clean and property well taken care of. Will definitely return!

5 star all day long, you can't beat the rate for the location. Unit is spotless, in a great area and in a quiet complex directly on the gulf. We enjoyed the pool area which was also well maintained. We would stay again without hesitation and plan on doing so again in the near future.

A perfect place for a family holiday.

Terrific toes-in-sand location. Super-correct, helpful hosts. Easy access to everything - including quiet. Thanks a million, Alexei and Ksenia!

We just spent a wonderful month at Alexei's and Ksenia's place. They are exceedingly gracious hosts. Their primary objective is to see to the comfort of their guests. They live elsewhere on the premises and are always available should any need arise. The condo itself is very well appointed with all the comforts of home. At various times during the month we had children, a grandchild, and guests with us - typically four to five people. The beds were very comfortable! Everyone enjoyed themselves. The condo overlooks the courtyard and the pool, with views of the beach and the gulf. You can sit on either the back or front balcony with your morning coffee or your evening glass of your beverage of choice and enjoy the sounds of the waves lapping onto the beach. The facility itself - Playa Encantada - is right on the wonderful sandy 7 mile long Gulf beach of Anna Maria Island. Once you walk out of your condo, you are literally just a short walk to the beach with no need to cross a road. There is a swimming pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and shuffleboard court at Playa available for your enjoyment. The evening sunsets are exquisite! With luck you may find yourself swimming with dolphins or manatees. If you are really lucky, you might see a mama turtle laying her eggs, or little hatch-lings making their way down to the Gulf. There are lots of very good restaurants on the island or in nearby Bradenton, Cortez, and Sarasota. If you are looking for a relaxing stay in an exceedingly nice condo, right on the Gulf of Mexico, hosted by two very gracious people, this is the place for you!

Location on the beach, heated pool, quiet island were all we hoped for. Condo was very well appointed. Alexei was very welcoming and helpful Angela

We loved the Condo and enjoyed every bit during our 15 days' stay. Our host is very nice and responsive. as his family stays in the same compound. He not only responded our request promptly but also provided us a lot of useful information about the area. The condo located right on beach, and is conventiently close to good restaurants and grocery store. The inside of the condo is decorated stylishly with very decent furniture and appliances. There are plenty of kitchen stuff to use to cook even bake while you stay. The beds are very confortable. I especially love the spacious balcony. It is only 20 min alway from IMG, so it is a great place to stay for vacation while kids go to IMG for sports.

My family and I had a great time at Playa Encantada. Alexei called me just after the reservation was made to explain the details of the apartment. His mother Svetlana and his son Max welcomed us warmly. The apartment was perfectly clean and is very comfortable. Located just in front of a beautiful and quiet beach, the building is very convenient, offering heated pool and one free parking spot. If you wanna rest in the paradise, we strongly recommend Playa Encantada!

This was our second visit to this very special place where you really feel free to enjoy the beautiful setting and magnificant ocean front location. Truly an outstanding condo that is beautiful, exceptionally clean, tastefully furnished with everything you'll need for your stay. The magnificent white sandy beach is well complimented by a great private pool and hot tub. The location is perfect for easy access to the many great restaurants and shopping nearby, all within an easy walk. Alexei and Ksenia are super welcoming and friendly hosts who go out of their way to be sure you're comfortable and have everything you need to have a memorable stay. We've made many good friends there and plan on returning next March for an extended stay and look forward to making this our annual escape from the cold Michigan winters.

We liked this rental so much we have already booked for next year. It is comfortable, well furnished and supplied. The owners were very helpful and made sure we had everything we might need. They are a delightful family. We also liked the very friendly atmosphere of this complex. The pool and jacuzzi were great. The beach is beautiful.

The house of Allen was super cozy and only 4 minutes from the beautiful beach. We did not talk to each other personally, but everything was easy to find. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. Definitely recommend for a nice beach holiday!

The place is walking distance to the beach and biking distance to shops and restaurants. We were very well pleased with our stay with no issues whatsoever.

Great location, super clean and very comfortable. Allen was so easy to work with, and was able to be flexible with our checkout after we changed flights. A short half a block to a gorgeous beach. Recommend!

The bungalow was perfect for two people. No bells or whistles, just a small, private little place to stay. It was not fancy but clean. Basic needs met. Quite, quaint, little neighborhood. Short walk to a beautiful beach. Beautiful location. Allen was very quick to respond to emails.

So wonderful. The apartment was so cozy and relaxing. Great outdoor space with a 2 minute walk to the beach. It far exceeded my expectations and Allen was so flexible! Even let us stay an extra day we loved it so much. Thanks for the great memories !

We love Anna Maria Island and we enjoyed staying at Allen's place. It is a short walk to the beautiful beach and located in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Access was easy and the Allen was easy to contact for access.

Thank you Allen for a wonderful experience on Anna Maria Island. The accomendations are great and a good location. I look forward to returning. AMI will always have a place in my heart! ~*~

The setting is private, comfortable. The beach is at one end of street within walking distance of restaurants, and the free trolley at the other end of the street, takes you everywhere...we didn't use our car except to come home!

Everything was very nice, bright and clean completely in accordance with the images displayed for living. Many very fine detail, such as automatic lighting, bluetooth speaker at the pool and large TV screen outdoors.

Beautiful home with an amazing pool. We immediately felt at home and we were sad to leave! We definitely would like to return to this property on our next trip down! Thank you Shawna!

The house and local area was a great place to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather. Very close to the brilliant beach and also close to restaurants and bars but also the free trolley bus was very useful too. The July 4th parade was great to see and the beach at night was great fun. We wouldn't hesitate recommending this house or returning if we could. Went on a dolphin sightseeing boat and saw dolphins, sharks and manatees but the definite highlight was swimming along side the manatees on the beech! Amazing.

We stayed for 2 weeks at this lovely updated home. It is very spacious, uncluttered and clean. Our host, Shawna, has done a great job of decorating. It is perfect for island living. The location is the best. We were just 2-1/2 blocks from the gulf and 2 blocks from the bay. We were able to take our dog for a walk every day on the side streets as there was hardly any traffic to worry about. The only downfall for us was that the island does not allow pets on the beaches. Shawna was wonderful to deal with. She made us feel that this was our home. She was there if you needed her, but not around if you didn't. There are two floors so it is perfect for two couples or a family with children. There is a really nice swimming pool, although we did not use it. It was a little too cold for us. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful cottage in a quiet relaxed beach location. Shopping and restaurants available nearby, free public transport. Simply fantastic, we will be back :-)

Our experience with Shawna was perfect! We had great communication before the trip and the condo we rented was accurately described in the photos and listing. We rented the place for a wedding on the beach and the location was perfect. The keyless entry system Shawna set up was extremely convenient and Shawna was very accommodating. The condo itself is very clean, well functioning, and well decorated. We would book it again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay at Shawna's house! It was spacious, clean, and really comfortable! It had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time relaxing outside and in the heated pool, the Florida sun was amazing especially coming from the mountains of NC. There is an outdoor movie theater but the evenings were a bit chilly for that, very cool though! We did enjoy listening to music on the outdoor sound system. Very family friendly. There are big screen TVs inside also. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and really just a few steps from a beautiful beach with incredible sunsets. There are even beach chairs and a wagon. There is a nice Publix nearby, and we enjoyed grilling out. Looking forward to coming back sometime!

Perfect location. House and pool were phenomenal. Overall wonderful vacation

Karen is awesome, and the location of this property is also awesome! Quiet, clean, and the beach is quintessential old Florida.

Close to beach. Clean with everything we needed for a lovely holiday.

Coastal Comfort is a fantastic place! Beautifully decorated, super comfortable & a killer location. Steps to the beach! Also, it is walking distance to the grocery store, some restaurants & the trolley stop. It is perfect for a couple. Don't pass this one up!

Love love love! Our experience was all we hoped for and more. From the time we booked until we left, our host was responsive, kind, and accomodating. We were thrilled with the location, being a short walk to restaurants and literally only steps to the beach, before arriving. But could not have been happier after arriving. The home was spotless with modern renovations and absolutely everything we needed for the stay, from beach chairs to paper towels to K-Cups. We will certainly return for more days on the beach, with lunch a walk away, a dip in the heated pool, gorgeous sunsets, and grilling dinner on the private back patio.

This place was beautiful! Upgraded with nice amenities and a great location! We felt right at home. The beach is right across the dead end road. Easy 2 minute walk. Karen had everything we needed including beach towels and beach supplies. We were so pleased and happy with our stay.

Loved the apartment. Clean, clean, clean. 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Beautifully decorated in a Pottery Barn style. Great shower. Really nice, fully equipped kitchen. Big TV's with full cable channels. There is a little sitting area outside the back door with a great grill. They made us feel very welcomed. You won't go wrong renting this unit.

Adorable. Well decorated and well stocked. Everything from appliances to cookware was new and high end! The proximity to the beach is perfect and the pool was great too.

Anyone that knows me knows how much time I put into finding a place to stay because my mind is always worried about is it a nice pace, do the pictures accurately describe it, is the location nice, and on and on. We landed in a GEM of a place. Literally 50 steps to the beautiful sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island (Holmes Beach). The pool is nice and it is heated (a little too warm for our taste, especially in the evening but everyone enjoyed it), it was clean and inviting. Everything you need to enjoy the beach or pool is available in the unit. Fantastic chairs, umbrellas (we did not use them), cooler, and towels. It rained most of our stay but we still had a great time on the beach and had a couple of afternoons with cloudy sunshine and got to catch a great sunset. Beautiful. There is construction going on right next door and they start early but it did not wake us in the room. It was loud sitting at the pool but I am not one to be bothered by progress. The island itself is lovely, quaint, and friendly. I met several locals and am ready to move there (it will still be a few years). We did not get to try all the restaurants but the ones we tried were fantastic. Breakfast on the beach is a must at Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe which is less than a half a mile away, great walk. The Feast has a variety selection of some of the best food on the island. Tide Tables just over the Cortez bridge has delicious grouper and a great view. City Pier was very good and we watched people fish while we ate with a view of the St. Pete's bridge and Egmont island. Other places we heard about but did not get to try are Slim's AMON, Duffy's, The Beach Club and the Rod and Reel. I enjoyed a day at the Bridge Street shopping area in Bradenton Beach. We will return and hope to stay at Karen's place. It is a great location and her special touches were nice. She is very responsive by text, email or phone. She is knowledgeable about the area and provides a lovely place with comfy bed, great sheets and pillows, fine furniture, and a very clean place. Oh and the personal grill on the back patio. You cannot go wrong. LOVED OUR STAY. Denise - Stayed June 3-8, 2017.

We had a wonderful trip to Holmes Beach for Christmas this year, a great gathering place for our family. The home is beautiful and well equipped. We had everything we could have needed. The beach, a five minute walk was gorgeous and the beach buggy provided for our use was perfect for getting all our gear to the beach.

We spent wonderful 10 days at this home and on Anna Maria Island. Leaving was very hard to do. The home is extrememly well maintaiend and the owner is very helpful and accomodating. The location is perfect and everything about this property is exceptional. I travel often and stay at very nice properties. This was the best by far property that I have ever stayed at.

We had an amazing stay at this home on Anna Maria island! It was beautiful and still smelled new. Not a single detail was missed in stocking this home, so we were very comfortable during our stay. The pictures don't do justice to how nice this house is and how beautifully furnished. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but only a short drive to many restaurants and attractions, although there are a couple of things within walking distance too. The heated pool was a huge bonus on the colder December days. The hosts were very accommodating and even left us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift, which was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend this home and a stay on Anna Maria Island in general.

The home is absolutely beautiful. All our family's needs were considered ahead of time so we had a marvelous time at this home. The community is safe and secure and the beach is beautiful. It was so nice to stay in such a lovely, new and modern home and we plan to stay here again.

Perfect family house w small pool, 10 minutes walk from perfect, clean beach! Close to shops , a pier and restaurants. Make sure to drive to Coquina Beach as well. Barbara and Steve are superhosts, with guiden, fast and friendlu answers as we'll, they make life easy för you!

This house was so gorgeous!!! Beautifully maintained and had everything we needed. From hair dryers and hangers to beach necessities, everything was there. My family and I had an amazing 7 day stay and it was very hard to leave. The house was cozy and clean and a quick walk or drive to Holmes Beach. Whenever we come back to Anna Maria Island...we'll make sure to stay in this house.

We had a pleasure staying at this property for 10 days in September. Overall a great experience. The house itself is very well kept, with high sealings, new appliances and a heated pool. The beach is within a 5 minute walk. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was clean with great amenities. The location was perfect. It was just a short walk to the beach. I would book this place again.

We had a wonderful stay at the sand castle. The property was beautiful and really well kitted out and tastefully decorated with high end kitchen, luxury furnishings and lots of thoughtful extras like the beach buggy and beach equipment which came in so handy. The place is much nicer than the pictures can show and we would highly recommend staying here. Carren and Mathias were both very responsive during our stay if we had any questions and have really put a lot of thought into making a memorable vacation. The area itself is just perfect, AML is stunningly beautiful and really friendly. We did get a bit unlucky with a swathe of red tide passing though but not much that could be done about it. Despite that the island people are really friendly and laid back and it is a glorious place to spend a lot of time. We would definitely recommend the cup cake shop nearby! Delicious! In summary we would definitely stay again at this property and on AML

The host: was present and greeted us kindly upon arrival; performed an initial walk-through ensure we were comfortable with everything; was accessible and communicated with us throughout the week. The property: was as listed...clean and well maintained; was fully furnished...even with the extras (pots/pans, silverware, dish washer, washer/dryer, laundry detergent, gas bbq grill, beach caddy w/ umbrellas and chairs, Wii w/ games, Roku TV, etc.); quiet neighborhood; walking distance to the beach; minutes away from shops, dining, etc.

We loved our time on Anna Maria! Mathias & Carren were terrific hosts! Carren was flexible with greeting us at the house, as our flight was delayed. The house was just as beautiful in person, as in the pictures. It was clean, uncluttered, and beautifully decorated. We were there during the Olympics & Mathias was quick to walk me through the directions, over the phone, to get the Olympic channel. My children thoughly enjoyed the pool! It was a great treasure to have after our beach time, and while we were making dinner. Mathias & Carren also have beach supplies & beach towels stocked for convince. Their kitchen was well stocked with dishes & pans too, for cooking. Carren also has a wonderfully helpful book with "house information" and information about the island. We loved trying her suggestions & were greatful for them. I can't say enough positive words for our memorable stay at their house! Tropical storm or not, life is better at the beach! I pray we'll be able to come back!

The owners were there to meet us and give us a tour upon arrival. The home is even more beautiful in person! We had everything we needed and the home was spotless, comfortable & perfect in every way. We will definitely be visiting this home again!

Excellent.

The description and photos are accurate. Property is perfectly equipped for vacationing. Very nice outdoor area with large BBQ, shower, screen patio. Although we brought our own beach chairs and cart there were chairs and a cart in the garage. We called a local water sports rental place and they delivered and picked up the paddle board in front of the house. We loved the open space layout of the house, ample kitchen space, beds were very comfortable, and a/c cooled nicely. The proximity to the beach was also a plus. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing vacation.

Lovely home. Centrally located. Steps to beach. Wonderful getaway spot

Such a lovely home, and we hated leaving! We had 4 adults and 4 children in our group, and this home was the perfect size for us! We used the pool multiple times a day and the beach really is as close as advertised! There were plenty of beach towels to supplement the ones we brought and the garage was stocked with plenty of beach toys, a beach umbrella (actually 2), chairs, and a wagon to haul it all! Anna Maria Island did not disappoint and this house was the perfect compliment to the island.

We enjoyed staying at Ken's condo! Nicely decorated with high end appliances (even a blender!) It is a quiet 2 story townhouse really which we loved. Lots of space, 2 nice bathrooms, full kitchen, and 3 balconies. From having coffee on the balcony in the morning and admiring the coconut palm trees to walking to the beach (1.5 minutes) we enjoyed every moment of it, and wished we booked it for longer. This place also has a garage with beach toys, umbrella, and chairs (and a cart to transport them) which we used every day. The pool was nice and clean, and never busy! Thanks Ken!

Great condo that is just a short walk to a beautiful beach!

Very nice. Perfect location for me!

Ken's condo is very well located about one block from the beach. The building where the condo is has five other units and a pool, so no crowds. It has a really good family vibe which we enjoyed having a little daughter. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and well kept. It has all the basics to make for a comfy stay. Lots of towels including beach towels, an umbrella for the beach, and there were even beach toys there that my daughter played with. We will return for sure!

This place is great! It has everything you need. Ken was quick responding to our questions. Short walk to the beach, supermarket, restaurant, pharmacy, coffee shop, etc.. We will definitely be back, thanks Ken!

Everything about this place was perfect. We came in to a super clean apartment and the kitchen had everything we needed. The closets were stoked with towels and linens so we never had an issue with running out of towels or constantly having to wash them. Its only a 3 min walk to the beach so it was very convenient. Ken was super fast with responding to my questions and very kind. Overall I definitely recommend this place and would love to stay again!

Very cute, clean, cheerful and comfortable apartment. Near the beach and shopping center

Ken's place is clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the convenience to the grocery store, some eateries, and the combination drug store/liquor store. In fact, we walked to these places. Especially, it's very convenient to the beach access - about a 1 min walk up a neighborhood street. Ken supplies an ample amount of beach towels which were really appreciated, as we did not have to pack those. Also supplied were a Sun-Brella and chairs for the beach! The hosts thought of practically everything a group needs to enjoy their stay.

Monika was an excellent host with quick responses to any questions before and during the vacation. The home was well equipped with everything you would need including beach chairs, toys, beach towels, an a dynamite ice maker! The building is very quiet and the end of a road that would be nice for small children. The pool was well maintained. You should note that the home is steps away from the public parking to Manatee Beach. It was quite crowded on the weekends but if you walk a few steps in either direction, you can escape the large crowds. It is in a great location for groceries and restaurants. Eat Here was a great restaurant, Tide Tables, the Sand Bar ( tourist filled but very good), Rod and Reel...a few suggestions. Be sure to visit the store with the birds across from the Marina.

Great location: Just a two minute walk and you are at the beach. We felt very comfortable in the apartment. The hostess Monika was always available, very friendly and super support us. The property is maintained in good condition and. We would, however, happy about a washing machine in the apartment. The Community washers / dryers in the basement were not in good condition.

The pool was great, and the location was awesome! Great value.

This place is perfect. Clean, Modern, extra special touches! Great pool, walking distance to groceries, great restuarants and beautiful beach access. Love the free trolley and check out the monkey bus!

Great, place to stay on AMI. Walk to beach and retail establishments. Clean and nicely furnished.
