My family has been to Anna Maria Island several times, always staying someplace different. This is the first time we all agreed we wanted to stay here again! Location is VERY hard to beat, so close to the beach. The pool area is great for when we are not at the beach. Awesome place! I'll admit some older reviews made me think twice about getting Almost Gulf Front, but now that I was there I see they were very nitpicky. Like I said, I'd stay here again.

This house was perfect for our family of 8. It is in a great location and an easy walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart so getting around was no problem during the week of spring break. All new pots and pans and enough kitchen supplies for our needs. There were floaties in the garage and other items that were left behind from previous renters, so that was a plus. There is not a refrigerator in the garage as shown in the pictures. This is a pet friendly home, so be prepared for the lingering smell of dogs and a lot of hair floating around, but we knew that going in. The pool was filled with tree debris upon arrival and was not heated as we requested, but the management company took care of that the next day. The downside of this property was that the pool area was too shady and we were all huddled around whatever small sunny spot that was available. The trees need to be trimmed to allow more sun around the pool area. There was always a lot of tree debris in the pool and no pool net was provided for us to clean it ourselves. We ended up buying a kids fishing net so we could clean the pool on a daily basis.

Will likely book this rental again. Perfect space for our large group of adults and children. I always prepare for and expect minimal supplies after staying with large groups in other rentals in the past. The supplies met our needs with the addition of our own purchases. The location is 10/10. The pool shade was perfect after a long day in the sun on the beach. Repairs were made to minor issues during our stay that had been named in previous reviews. Overall, don’t let the negative reviews scare you away.

The location on the island and distance to the beach is great. The backyard and pool were very nice and private too. The home is only a few years old, but has a number of problems. We called the management company the first morning we were there as water was leaking from the ceiling in the kitchen. It was discovered a major leak in the shower upstairs which necessitated us not using that shower for the remainder of the week. While the repairman was there, we also had him address a light fixture that was sitting on the dresser when we arrived and to fix the TV which was missing a connecting wire and a remote control that was not operating. He also helped turn on the heat which was not set properly. He was at the house for about 2 hours and did his best to fix what he could. We appreciated his efforts. On the 5th night in the house, the smoke alarm upstairs sounded in the middle of the night and smoke and a burning smell was detected. We determined it seemed to becoming from the heater so we turned it off (55 degrees that night) and aired out the house. I contacted Vacasa again in the a.m. and asked that the heater be inspected before we turning it on again. They responded and said someone would look at it, but no one ever arrived. I reported it again as we left the house on Saturday to the cleaning staff as I knew there was someone else renting the house later that day.

We enjoyed our stay! The pool area is private, nice and relaxing. The house is conveniently located just a few steps away from the public beach access, which was awesome! There is also a stop for the free trolley that goes up and down the island close by.

We loved the proximity to the beach and enjoyed the pool/spa. The house definitely needs maintenance.From little things like multiple burnt out light bulbs to worn out living room furniture.
