WOW! I loved everything about this property, the view, the location, everything. My family was very happy with the property as well. We’ve stayed at other properties this summer that did not meet any of our expectations and this one out did itself. We will definitely be booking again next year for our family vacation.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second time in this property. The price goes up year over year but the house is in very poor condition. Peeling paint, very dirty throughout, broken ceramic tile, missing towel bars, shower door held closed by tape, wall paneling bowing and mildew smell. Very disappointed in the overall experience of paying so much for such a run down property. The location on the beach is perfect which is what made it bearable. We didn't spend that much time in the house as compared to the outdoor time. The covered deck is great and the views are amazing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here in the past and the expansive, unobstructed ocean views never get old! One of our favorite spots on the island where you feel that you have your own private beach regardless of how busy the island can get. The home layout is perfect for a family of 6 and the home is updated with a very comfy couch and beds. Counting down the days until our return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our stay was very nice. Great location, right on the beach, and loved the deck. There were a couple things about the house I wasn’t happy with. The laundry area (upstairs) needs work. Organization is a must, and a curtain to cover the water heater and furnace would have been nice. It was very unattractive to walk by. The front walls also had damage, but I’m sure that will be fixed. Besides those 2 things, we had a great experience, and a wonderful vacation.

No water boiler, no waste disposal. Shower-door could not been closed and wifi was not working, so was the telephone.

My only suggestion would be to update the beach chairs...a couple of them are a little rusty. But I can't wait to go back and enjoy this location.

We brought my mother in law who does not go to the beach much anymore for her birthday. She sat out on the beach since it was so close. The unit was very clean and had recent updates of appliances and furnishings. We had a wonderful time !

Overall property was in good condition and clean, but would recommend replacing carpets in the rooms. Would be excellent if carpets could be replaced with tiles like rest of the house. Would definitely be staying here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location, Location, Location. Property is ON the beach, about as close as you can be. No need for a cooler because you can literally go to the kitchen to grab a cold beverage. If you want to explore a car is nice but if all you want is a beach vacation everything is in walking distance. Groceries, Walgreens, alcohol, select restaurants, coffee shop, hardware store, beach rentals are ALL walking distance. Your patch of beach is essentially private, always an area for you out front. Furnishings are nice, washer/dryer is great, condition of unit is older. Some paint is pealing. Bathrooms are nice but water pressure in guest bath is bad, master pressure is GREAT. Rent house nextdoor and unit below for large group, would be perfect.

We enjoyed Valhalla. The location is just perfect! The property could use a few updates and maintenance repairs.

My family has been vacationing on Anna Maria Island for the past 16 years. We've only stayed in houses on the gulf side and right on the beach so we have lots of experience with spotting the best locations. We've stayed in houses from Bean Point down to Holmes Beach and just south of where Manatee Ave comes into the island. By far, this beach cottage is in a section of beach that is the most private. You will always find places to sit on the beach without people right on you. When standing on the beach and looking to the right or left, you see the masses of people all jammed together on the beach. There is a very large sand bar off the island in this location that makes the water very shallow about 50 yards out from the beach. At low tide, the water only comes up to your knees out that far. Now for the beach house. It is good size for up to 6 people and overall in okay condition. There is really nasty carpeting in the bedrooms that makes you want to wear shoes to walk on. Paint is peeling in several rooms. The kitchen cabinets are getting pretty beat up and knobs are falling off the drawers. And the master bath is in desperate need of a refresh. The design of the master bath shower is such that when you open the door to turn on the shower, water shoots out of the door opening and onto the floor of the bathroom. The shower head can't be positioned to avoid this. Having said this, the house is in about the same condition of any of the other 7 houses we've rented over the years. Every year, the prices go up for these rentals. I just wish that the cottages would be refreshed yearly which would make the trip that much more enjoyable. We would stay in this house again in the future if we make the trip again. The location simply cannot be beat. Walk to the beach house cafe for pancakes or a cocktail, or to the plaza behind the house for coffee, ice cream, or drug store needs. The deck on the house is the best part. The deck boards have been replaced with composite boards. No splinters here! There is nothing blocking your view of the gulf and you have 180 degrees view of paradise. The deck is plenty large enough for 8 or more people and the furniture is in decent shape. Just a little dirty but we cleaned it up on arrival. Could use a ceiling fan for those times when the breeze is coming from the east. Without a breeze, you'll get eaten alive by the "noseeums" at night. I love the refund policy that VRBO offers just in case you need it.

This place was perfect. I went with a friend for a week-long break from work and life. Location was amazing ... steps to the ocean and the house was exactly as the pictures depicted. Saw dolphins every day! Could not have asked for a better view either. Will plan to come back for sure.. next time to rent the upstairs and downstairs for the kids and grandkids!

Gtreat property. Fantastic view. Well kept. Convenient location
