Had a fantastic stay at Castnetter. Thank you so much Donna and Alan. The property is in a fantastic location right across the road from Manatee beach which is beautiful. The property was clean and equipped with everything you need including beach chairs and umbrellas which we found to be so convenient. The property is brilliantly air conditioned and even has an outdoor shower which is so convenient after a trip to the beach. Donna was kind enough to inform us of some good places to eat. The property is also just across the road from a trolley bus stop which takes you up and down the island for free and there are plenty of stops along the way. Alan was kind enough to answer many questions I had about the island. We couldn't fault this property at all it was perfect for our needs. We love Anna Maria and this property made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. We were extremely sad to leave the island and we are already planning to return next year. Thank you again Donna and Alan. Charlotte and Ricky

Loved, loved, loved the unit. The location was good and the beach was right across the street. There was more available in the unit than what was described which was a plus. My husband and I will definitely be back. Alan was super accommodating, even offering a portable crib and high chair for our little one. He's very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. You won't regret staying here.

This was our first time to use airbnb. We found this room adorable and very clean. I am a clean nut and this was spotless. The quilt on the bed is even cuter than the one in this picture. Striped with beach colors and a fun toss pillow. The bed and pillows were super comfy. Even though we usually prefer a King bed, with the comfort of this bed it didn't impact us to have a Queen. The room is small, but they have made it very efficient. A full size refrigerator is in one side of the sliding closet with hangers and room to hang items on the other side. There are a few places with missing tiles in the closet and under one side table, but nothing major. One handle on the dresser is broken, so difficult to use that drawer, but could be easily fixed. I'm assuming owner just doesn't know about it. Renters can be tough on property. It has a microwave, convection oven, toaster, coffee pot, dishes, silverware and everything you need. I thought it was really thoughtful how they provided nice wooden tv trays. The bathroom is a small step up to the right of the bed. There is a room air conditioner, not central air. It is adjustable to control the temperature, but as a room air conditioner it is a bit loud. It didn't effect me, but my husband had some trouble sleeping the first night with it cycling off and on. He's a light sleeper, so I think for most it would be fine. I had no problem. The pool is clean and right outside the windows behind the couch. It was relaxing to sit out there and read and it's almost all shaded. We did not go in as we were at the beach all day, but it seemed very quiet; it is large enough to go for a dip, but not to swim laps.

The Castnetter Beach Resort was immediately inviting and full of beach charm and comfort. It is located directly across the street from the public beach and walking distance to anything your heart desires. The studio itself is quaint and cozy with a wonderfully comfortable bed and access to the units pool. The entire property was well kept and spotless, boasting beautiful palm trees pool side, a gorgeous deck and out door area with gas grill. It is obvious to tell that the owners take pride in their property and genuinely care about the happiness of their guests. This location is amazing!!! We enjoyed a mimosa on the beach at sunrise and frolicked in the ocean at sunset. Best time ever! We will return.

Alan did everything to make us feel welcome at his beautiful property! Everything was as described and more and the area is great! It's just a short walk across the street to the public beach which we enjoyed a few days, but we also really loved the small heated pool and lounge chairs just outside our window. Alan was always available for communication and even let us extend our stay an extra day because we love it so much! We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to come back next year with more of the family!

This was a great place to stay for our first trip to the Gulf Coast. It is right across the street from the beach, but do take note that you have to cross a street that was busier than we expected and there are cars coming around corners in both directions. However, you can walk a block up the street to a crosswalk to cross more safely. There is a parking lot and a "strip mall" like building once you cross the street before you get to the beach. The "strip mall" has a restaurant, which was very good, a store for souvenirs, sunscreen, and beach gear, a visitor center, and I believe you can rent beach and water things somewhere in there as well. The beach entrance has a play area for kids, volleyball nets, and a couple of picnic tables. The beach itself is beautiful. The island of Anna Maria is really lovely. We visited many beaches over our trip and Holmes Beach and Coquina Beach were among the busiest. We were very close to a Publix grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar Tree, and several small restaurants and shops. We ate at the Old Hamburg Schnitzelhaus one night and it was wonderful. The apartment was nice with a comfortable queen size bed and a pull out couch that was maybe full size. The couch bed was pretty hard, but it was useful since we are a party of 3. There is a refrigerator with freezer in the closet and the dresser has a microwave, toaster oven, and toaster on top and dishes in some of the drawers. There is even an electric fry pan on top of the fridge. The washer and dryer is located in a room off the carport. There are actually two of each. It was very clean and very handy to be able to wash our clothes after all that salt water and sunscreen. Bring your own high efficiency detergent. The carport also contains many items for your use like beach chairs. The pool was great as it is just a few steps to the gate outside the door of your room. There are a couple of lounge chairs and a pool float or two. There is also a grill you can use. Parking is right outside the door to the apartment making loading and unloading luggage easy. It was a fun stay and we can't wait to come back and explore more of the Gulf Coast.

Great location and wonderful host.

Alan has a great place on Anna Maria Island! We had a great time and will come back.

Very centrally located near beach, restaurants and shops.

We rented this adorable house from Mario for a girlfriend trip for a long weekend. We got to the house and there were snacks waiting for us, which was lovely! The house was very clean and well stocked with supplies. The location was great - just down the street from the beach. Mario was great to work with. He answered emails and texts promptly. I would highly recommend renting from Mario.

We had a great stay at this home on Anna Maria. Our family (husband, wife, two adult children) was comfortable in the house and it had everything we needed. Mario was an excellent host- great communication and we enjoyed a good stock of beach towels and some tasty treats and snacks. The home is tastefully decorated and the outdoor sitting area is pleasant for breakfasts outside or just kicking back and reading a book. The location was perfect- we enjoyed the short walk to the beach as well as the bakeries and shops on Pine St nearby. Overall a great experience!

The Beach House was as described, only a few blocks from the beach and a few streets away for shops and restaurants. I only stayed two days and it was the first time I was in this area. Loved the pillows and of course having the place to ourselves

Our host had a nice basket of snacks waiting for us and cold drinks in the refrigerator on arrival. The house is in a great area on the island with tons of nice shops and restaurants only a block away. There were beach chairs, umbrellas and a wagon to carry stuff to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great place! Amazing location close to the beaches and the heart of Anna Maria. Very considerate host and easy to communicate with!

Mario was amazing. He met us at the house to show us around and point out everything we needed to know. Plus, he stocked the refrigerator with beer and had snacks for us! The house was great, just steps from a beautiful beach. We took Mario's suggestions on where to eat and weren't disappointed. This was a business trip, but I'm definitely coming back for a vacation.

This is a great location for a few days right next to the beach. Mario's recommendations were spot on and the Sandbar great for sunset. The description is totally accurate and we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Perfect for the price.

Allen is a great guy and host. He was always there if you needed him and is easy to talk with. His place is quaint, quiet and cozy and was perfect for my transition from Tennessee to Florida, coming ahead of my family. The place is only 8 or 9 houses away from the beautiful white sand beach of Anna Maria Island. I stayed for two wonderful months, I would recommend this place to anyone. Even though I am now a Floridian, my wife and I will rent this place again in the near future because of its location and coziness.

everything went well,minor issues were taken care of right away.

Allen was great. His place is a block from the beach. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice stay Christmas week. Location is only 1 block from the beach. House is cozy and well suited for one or two people. Kitchen is a bit small for a lot of cooking but adequate for lite cooking. Nice large tv with lots of DVDs.

We liked the place very much ! There is a lot do : beach, yoga, standup paddeling, jogging, and nice Restaurants around.

Great location , very clean , less than 2 min walk to the beach. Would recommend for nice beach get away would definitely come back again

This is a lovely, spacious, spotless and welcoming cottage. It's a block from the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty to do on the island, but you'll also be very happy sitting out front under the sea grape tree, relaxing. The only must-do is to catch sunset. We will be back to stay here, and we can't wait.

Great place and a great location. We loved it and would come back again.

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

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.

Look at the pictures. Read the description. Expect more! This condo is exactly as advertised but includes more. Spacious, newly renovated (felt like we were the first to stay here,) and clean! Karen thought of thing you need that we didn't even realized we needed! Example: insulated tote and freezer pack to take lunch on the go! Even the beach umbrella is top of the line and easy to use. Love the complex, beach, and convenience of shopping near by. Can't think of a thing needed that wasn't provided! STAY HERE!

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!

Home away from home! Short walk to Holmes beach, perfect private pool to cool off in before retiring into the cozy little beach condo with every amenity you need for the family. Lots to do in Bradenton including museums, shopping, dining, and beaches.

A perfect location, beach access right across the street with very little public parking so the beach is not crowded here. Building is well maintained, pool is sparkling and heated to a perfect 85. Unit is freshly renovated, kitchen and bathroom are very tastefully done, big walk-in shower and all new appliances including dishwasher and disposal. Nice patio in back, perfect for coffee and breakfast, and with a gas grill. We were very pleased and had a wonderful week.

Comfortable and cozy. Great location on a quiet corner across from beach.

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.

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.

Our stay was excellent. We stayed for a few days to explore the area. We rented bikes from Just 4 Fun, which provided us with great bikes at a very reasonable price. The place was perfect for us, and Danny was an amazing host. Thank you.

Danny's place was perfect for me and my two kids. Stocked with beach essentials and more, this is the perfect location on Anna Maria Island. Danny was responsive to our questions and needs for our three day trip. Highly recommend!

It was great to have a binder of things to do on Anna Maria, including nearby restaurants, activities, etc. The pics on the listing were true to the rental. Overall, a great experience!

This apt is so wonderful. We had a wonderful time in this huge Apartment. We were very welcomed in this place. The rooms are big and very bright. The bathroom is very modern and classy. The bedroom is next to the living room and has even a closet. The kitchen is very modern and very well equipted. This place has even a dishwasher so you don't have to waste your time cleaning the dishes. The Apartment is located just three Blocks away from the Beach. You feel very pleasant in this place and we will come back as soon as possible. It's very easy to get in touch with Danny and Brenda when you have any questions. They are very helpful and reliable.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Ohana Hale on AMI! The space was clean, comfortable and a lovely home away from home. The proximity to the beach was great! Brenda and Danny were very communicative and great hosts!

This is a great little apartment! Right on the main drag, so super close to the beaches, restaurants, shopping, and the mainland! They left a binder filed with local info that made things super easy and were available for every little silly question that I had. Everything was lovely and tidy and we had a fantastic week!!

We had a great time. The place was beyond perfect for what we needed. We were able to book at the last minute which was very helpful. I'd love to come back again.

Danny and Brenda were incredible hosts! The place is modern, clean, and only 3 blocks from the most amazing beach! Definitely a great value. It's centrally located on the island. Check in and communication couldn't have been better. I had a very restful sleep on the comfortable bed. Great wifi, tv, and game options. Great parking and free transportation on the trolley all the way down Longboat Key. Danny is truly the kindest soul. Don't hesitate to book here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bradenton beach. The location was awesome...steps to the beach. Great view!! We were able to ride our bikes to numerous attractions. The room was clean and kitchen was was nice. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely loved the Happy Island cottage! Everything was just as it appeared in the photos and we really enjoyed the pool/patio area where we spent the majority of our time. Would definitely return and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Wonderful!! Excellent!! We very much enjoyed our stay! Thank you Alex and Elena!

Our vacation at the Happy Island Cottage was awesome!!! Alex met us at arrival and he is very friendly and accommodating. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and very clean. The pool and landscaping are well taken care of. There were so many cool things to do in the area and the beaches were gorgeous. The beach, shops, restaurants, and activities were all within walking distance. We were sad to leave but we look forward to visiting again! I highly recommend choosing this location to relax and enjoy!

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 was a wonder host, he spent a lot of time telling us about the different amenities of the home as well as offering suggestions for breakfast and dinners in the surrounding area that were delicious and well priced. Alex was always available by phone and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our group consisted of two couples who each had a bedroom and our young daughters who shared the room with the twin beds. The home was immaculate, comfortable, beautifully decorated and looked exactly as pictured in Airbnb. If you're having any qualms about choosing this home - please don't, you won't be disappointed!!! What an absolutely wonderful house, close to so much and we truly felt at home. Thank you Alex and Elena, we can't wait to come back!

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 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.

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!

AMAZING! Great house, great location. Definightly recommend this house!!!

Laurie was great and very responsive! We come here for Christmas every year and we loved this spot!

The host canceled this reservation 330 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The Avenue Beach House is a wonderful place to get away for a little while and revel in the beach life. Though this place is residential, it's two blocks from the beach and is minutes away from restaurants, grocery and other retail by car. For those not wanting to drive there's a trolley system or bike rentals available. The traffic on the island has a healthy respect for both peds and bikes. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great location. Close to beach and inlet. Nice and quiet. The house was well stocked with kitchen and household items.

My host was available at all times to help my out ( when I locked myself out and when I wanted to connect to wifi). He was right there within minutes and very pleasant about it!

The location is amazing! Right in the middle of the island. Noise wasn't a problem at all, perfect size for 2-4. Overall a good experience! Watching the sunsets from your balcony is the best!

Great location, right on the beach. Spacious and modern, tile floor, full kitchen, TV/DVD, large and comfortable bed. Private balcony with fantastic view. Pool plus picnic tables and grills. Key was in a lockbox which made arrival and departure super convenient. Very helpful and friendly management company. We loved our stay.

The place is right on the beach, It doesn't get any better than that. Although a little dated, the place is clean and has everything you'd need and more. Although we didn't get to meet in person, Andrew from Edgewater was very nice and responsive.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION...beachfront with spectacular views of the gulf and its sunsets. Plenty of beach lounge chairs available for use on beach and very clean pool and grounds...unit 122

location is unbeatable. Easy check in - everything was clean and as described. Matress is too soft - might need to be replaced. Wi-fi information was not provided by Edgewater. Luckily, the hotel receptionist gave us a list of passwords we could use. Really nice place overall.

The place was nice. Great location overlooking the beach. The management company was very responsive and helpful before the trip. I accidentally booked the wrong dates months ago and they were gracious in changing the reservation when I discovered the mistake a week before the trip. The pictures accurately represent the (URL HIDDEN) nice, but a little dated. The AC unit is very loud, and the mattress wasn't the best, but I did sleep well. We paid $100 / night and I felt that we got good value for the money.

We stayed here for 3 nights in early November. Perfect location, literally just steps from the beach! We could watch the sunset right from our balcony. Check-in was simple. The room was clean, it had all the amenities you should need, and the bed was crazy comfy! Our son like the pullout bed just fine. They have a ton of beach chairs that you can take to the beach. The pool was clean and warm. Fellow guests were courteous and friendly. We had a snafu with the toilet our last day (float sensor didn't work), but they got a plumber to repair it while we were out. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! You cannot go wrong staying at Club Bamboo.

Loved it at AMB#3. The condo had everything we needed, was close to the beach and had the pool. Perfect for us and our son. Michael was easy to get in contact with and was ALWAYS friendly and curious! Would stay again in a heart beat!

Very welcoming environment. Can't say enough about the neighborhood.

WOW. This little gem was a perfect stay. Literally steps from the beach, ground floor and right next to your parking. The unit is super clean and modern with not a stone unturned. The only thing its missing is washer and dryer but everything else is provided for and quality. The beach is quiet and within a short walk to a great little breakfast and lunch beach shack right on the beach. You wont be disappointed.

This location is a stones throw away from the Gulf. We had everything we needed to have a very pleasant stay. We would highly recommend this apartment to a family of 4.

anna maria island beach condo is the perfect place for someone who loves the beach . it is only 44 steps to the beach with easy access . even though you have to cross the street , you can see the beach from your location . the condo is beautifully furnished with a beach theme . it has everything you need to enjoy your stay away from home. Michael was a great host , we were able to check in early on the day of our arrival & on the someday we locked ourselves out , i called Michael & he came & unlocked it with in 20 minutes . so if you are looking for a great place to enjoy the beach , this condo is perfect . located at a convenient location to walk to the beach cafe to have breakfast , lunch or dinner or go shopping for anything you might need at the shopping center located 2 blocks away .

Location is AWESOME

Beach condo was just as advertised, clean, updated and stocked with a complete kitchen. Everything needed for beach was a great added benefit, and the buggy to carry it to the beach was very welcome. Hoping to come back next spring. Michael answered emails quickly with any needed information.

What a delightful week we spent in Michael's beautiful condo. The location was perfect on a very quiet side street. The condo is as close to the beach as it could possibly be without being right on it. You can see from the picture that you can actually see the water the entire time you are taking your 48 steps to get to it. Michael provided 4 beautiful beach chairs and a beach umbrella cabana, beach towels, and a cart to pull it all on to the beach. He was immediately available to answer questions! The condo is beautifully decorated and clean, clean, clean. This is a very small condo complex with 6 condos sharing a very nice pool. This is a place I'd rather keep secret!

Great place. Wonderful host. Easy in and out.

This is a great little spot very close to Holmes Beach and in walking distance of a grocery store and restaurants. The unit is newly decorated and has everything needed for a good time. There are three units so multiple families can vacation together with proximity and privacy. The owners are very responsive. We had a great time!

We loved our stay at Beachside Palms, it was a fantastic location by the beach but also peaceful. The apartment was clean, modern and well equipped. There was plenty of space for a family of 4. The trolley stop to move around the island is just across the street so everywhere is accessible. The free use of the beach chairs and umbrella was excellent.

Easy check in procedure, lovely clean, modern apartment. Perfect location for the beach. Couldn't have asked for more!

Great place, pretty, clean and extremely close to the beach! (across the street). Also across the street from the trolly that takes you up and down the island. Highly recommend!

like the apartment,very good!near beach,everybody happy during the day!

What a terrific place! Just a few steps to the beach (our host provided a wheeled cart to carry our beach gear) on a quiet cul-de-sac, immaculately clean and well equipped with kitchen tools and linens. We will definitely stay here again!

The owners were so nice and accommodating. We had to rebook our stay due to hurricane Hermine and they went out of their way to help us. The cottage was immaculate and had a cute, beachy decor. We had a great weekend.

Great location, close to everything you may need. Owner was very professional and kind, and was concerned for tenant and happiness. Would definitely recommend this location.

Perfect location, nice room, & great host!

Matt was very helpful and extremely friendly, enjoyed his company as well as the beautiful room we got to stay in, hoping to rent from him again!

Nice clean, roomy, comfortable place and Matt is very hospitable.

We really enjoyed our stay! The room was spacious and being right on the water gave the place a nice relaxed island feel. We had fun fishing off the dock when we woke up in the am!

We loved the scenery in the backyard, sitting right by the marina.

Nice place and a nice and friendly host. Thank you very much!

Matt is a doll. Great large room and very clean. Nice comfortable bed!! Access to water and boat was perfect and we caught tons of fish and had a fish fry at the house on the grill. Matt was very easy to work with and a wonderful host. Hope to be back soon and highly recommend the boat.

Nicole's place was freshly renovated with great decor. The beach was just steps away and Nicole And her husband did everything they could to make my trip an enjoyable experience.

Great place, great location. Place was clean and host was very nice and had to bring keys to us twice because we locked herself out. We greatly appreciated that. We were there with two kids but this would be an even better spot for two couples.

It is literally steps from the beach. I never counted the steps, but it is down a short sandy path to a lovely spot. We saw a gorgeous sunset each night. The beach is beautiful, and not crowded at all. We were there during a very busy season, and loved that the beach had lots of space. The location is in walking distance from several good restaurants, bars, a coffee shop, and stores to pick up anything you forgot. We rented bikes and a cabana-tent, and used both often. The cottage is really cute, and all of the furnishings are fresh and new. I don't go on vacation to cook, but there were plenty of cooking utensils, etc., for those so inclined. The location feels very private, and is very quiet. We had a great week.

Super sweet little beach house. All of the things one could need, especially in the kitchen. There's a playpen if you have small children, to go cups in the cabinents, even seasonings and a keurig! We did have a small issue with the air going out but Justin came over within 15 mins to fix it. All in all an excellent experience. Would book again

Great spot! Perfect little beach house! Located between bay and beach, close to everything! Clean, comfortable, we were two couples and were very comfortable. There is only one full bath and a half bath which didn't present a problem for us but that's the only thing that would have made the place more perfect. Plenty of parking we had two cars and a 19ft boat on trailer. Big plus! Also there is a trolley running around the island and we found the Monkey Bus which is free transportation to Bridge Street to bars and restaurants! We can't wait to go back! Thanks Justin , great time!

We so enjoyed our stay here! The house is adorable, bright and well-equipped. Everything was spotless when we arrived! Justin was responsive and helpful with our questions. The location provides easy access to the beach and great eateries. We would recommend this place to our friends and would stay here again.

Everything he did was very prompt and professional.

Justin was very nice overall - great communication via e-mail and text. All information was provided in a timely manner. The place was just like the photos, nice, clean, neat and spacious. We had a great time. Thank you Junstin!

This location is excellent-- short walk to the beach, the bay, the park, the trolley, and restaurants. We had a great time on the island, and having the beach toys provided was great for the kids.

This beach cottage is a lovely, cute place. The decor is perfect, and Justin was a great host. We had a minor problem at check-in and he quickly and satisfactorily resolved it. We enjoyed our stay in his beachy cottage!

Spacious, clean, super close to the beach, and a terrific host! We have been to Anna Maria Island a few times but none better than this trip. Justin is extremely responsive and his description is completely accurate. Actually, the condo is better than we imagined! Quiet, safe neighborhood, just a few steps from the beach. The beach on this part of the isle is never too crowded for those looking for some space to enjoy one of Florida's best beaches. Also, check out Sharky's for dinner. It is a quick walk from the condo and the food, service, and drinks were the best we had on the island. We will absolutely be back to stay in this property again. Thank you Justin!

The Crows' Nest is fantastic! It's a light, bright, airy space where you can relax & enjoy your stay on beautiful AMI! The listing & photos are accurate, the unit is very clean, the kitchen is well stocked & the beach is a very short walk away. We would not hesitate to book here again!

The place was perfect kris answered all question promptly! Neighbourhood was quiet and close to the beach. The land scapeing was beautiful too. Overall just awesome!

Will stay at any of Kris's places. She does everything to ensure that you have a wonderful experience

Kris was great to deal with throughout the whole process. She was highly responsive and accommodated our requests. The place was really great. Clean and super cute. We will definitely stay there again.

Kris's Crow's Nest lodging was absolutely magnificent - stop reading the reviews and go book it! I have been to Anna Maria before but had not stayed overnight, our four days at the Crow's Nest was nothing short of spectacular. It was roomy, it was homey, it had everything we needed for a 4-day stay. We cooked most of our meals and it was entirely possible in the well-equipped kitchen. We were two couples, and there was more than enough space for all of us. The private deck overlooking the grounds was a added Plus. They also have a spectacular pool and grill area that you are welcome to use, we made good use of both! The location is a block from the beach, perfectly walkable even with all your beach gear. The beaches of Anna Maria are second to none, clear water, white sand, real sand dunes with sea oats... picture postcard perfect!! The beachy, nautical decor was over-the-top top charming. The loft upstairs is two twin beds, which were absolutely comfortable, even for adults... We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Wonderful location less than a 5 min walk to the beach. The trollies and chairs for the beach are a lovely touch.

Kris was incredibly fast and helpful in communication with us! The place looked exactly as advertised. The place is very close to the beach and everything else you are looking for in Holmes Beach!!!

Great location. Exactly what was described. Kris was available to answer any questions quickly. He had chairs, wagons, umbrellas, etc ready so you can show up and relax. Thanks for the stay!

Matt was very helpful and friendly. Place was clean and lovely. Would definitely recommend and hope to return to myself!

This was not our first time and it will not be our last! LOVE, love, love the location and the space. Matt has done an incredible job with this hidden little gem! Thanks again, Matt!!

Matt and Sarah responded right away and got us in the same day. They were very flexible and worked with us to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The place was so clean and comfortable, right across from the beach and public transportation and in a very central location. We will certainly stay here again when in the area!

Very relaxing!!

We loved this little place. It was perfect for our stay. The room was decorated just right and was very clean. It has a small kitchen with everything you might need for your stay. The location was perfect, pretty central to everything. Our only complaint was the bathroom was small and the shower was pretty tight, kind of like a cruise ship shower. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would recommend it to any couples visiting the area. The check in/check out process could not have been easier. We texted Matt before we got there and he gave us the lockbox code and that was pretty much it. Easy peasy. He was also very gracious with sending us suggestions/recommendations for AMI first timers.

Very clean and nice place! It was perfect for our very short stay! I would highly recommend this cute place.

The location is excellent. Just across the street from the beach. There is a convenience store and a great seafood restaurant all within walking distance. This is a storefront converted into a studio. Bathroom is very small but the rest of the room is bright and spacious.

Had a great time on a solo R&R beach weekend at Matt's Lil' Gecko Inn. It was just as pictured, very clean, the bed and pillows VERY comfortable, everything you need to make a light meal, snack, or cocktails is available in the kitchenette, clean fluffy bath towels...best part beach is right across the street! Used free trolley just outside to get around the island and walked to Sharkeys next door for dinner and drinks.
