Great house for our family get together. Manager reponded in minutes to our request to warm up the pool during the cold snap and we had some lovely afternoon swims. Beach is a short walk to the end of the block and a beach cart is provided if you are loading up for the day. House was clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated.

We had a great time at the Conch House. We’ve rented through VRBO several times. This was the nicest beach house we’ve stayed in thus far. Great house that’s minutes from everything. We skipped the car rental and rented a GEM directly from Lizzie Lu. It was sitting in the garage when we arrived. We really enjoyed it but the open sides are problematic when it rains. The homes architectural details are fantastic both inside and out. Each room is extremely well appointed. The living room and kitchen are beautiful and functional as well. We also enjoyed having an elevator. It worked great for moving the luggage and hauling groceries. The pool is also wonderful. Having a portion of it covered was great. After being in the sun all day it’s a nice break from the heat for the kids, Grandma and parents. They have beautiful landscaping surrounding it giving a real sense of privacy. Beach access is a short walk from the house. Anything we needed for the beach was in the garage…wagon, chairs, umbrellas, cooler and screw anchors for the umbrella base. It’s really astonishing that this home isn’t someone’s personal property. The house was built and is rented by Lizzie Lu’s Island Retreat. I had an opportunity to meet the gentleman that founded the company. They’re a small family run operation with multiple properties in Anna Maria. We normally stay in the Panhandle area of Florida ie Seaside/Rosemary. This was our first trip to southern Florida’s gulf coast and it definitely won’t be our last! Great house, island and beach!

This property is absolutely amazing! We couldn't figure out if our favourite part was the pool or how close it was to the beautiful beach!
