Annual girls weekend…. Everything was just perfect.. we were even able to check in early
10.0 / 10.0
This beach house was perfect! It had everything we needed for the perfect week. Plenty of beach chairs, a beach wagon, beach cooler and umbrellas. Also, the property is a 1 minute walk to the beach. The home was clean and had a fully stocked kitchen which made cooking meals easy. We loved it and hope to return!

Perfect in every way. Surprisingly spacious and well equipped. Amazing location.
8.0 / 10.0
Good location and parking. Outdated bathrooms, with toilets that are loose. Previous guests/cleaning crew left bag of trash in kitchen. Lots of kiddie floaty toys all over backyard. For the price of the stay I expected it to look like the pictures posted.

We had a wonderful time! The location is absolutely the best! No complaints at all!

This is second year for us at this rental. It is well-equipped and furnishings are satisfactory. Check-in worked fine this year (unlike 2023) but it would have been nice to check in earlier since we learned no one using this property for the preceding 4-5 days prior to our arrival. We love the heated pool but a hot tub would welcomed addition. We felt the dishwasher was showing its age and in need of replacement. We hope to return next year but we are open to researching other possibilities in this area. Overall this property ticks all the boxes but it’s a bit on the high side regarding the rental price.

Our two families stayed together in this wonderful home. It was so convenient being a block to the beach and the trolley stop. We never used our rental car. We loved how spacious the house was, the heated pool, and especially the rooftop balcony. We watched many sunsets from there! We fell in love with the island and will definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience!

This was our first time on the island and I think we chose the hottest week of the century! We had two kids with us, ages 6 and 3. That beautiful pool was a lifesaver! Any time we did a beach, boating, museum type activity in the morning, the pool was there waiting for us to spend hours in cooling off! The house was fantastic too, clean and comfortable. The first night there was an issue with the AC and it got fixed early the next morning. Would highly recommend this house! Couldn’t beat the location either!

Ok
8.0 / 10.0
You cannot beat the location with this house. So easy to walk to the beach and all chairs, umbrellas and wagons were there for our use. We had a group of 8 ladies and it was good but possible a bit tight for sleeping purposes.
A few things... Originally when booking, the third bedroom has a bunk bed with a full on the bottom, twin on top and a twin trundle. Less than a month before the trip I was looking at pics online again and they switched the room set up to 2 sets of bunk beds. Not a huge deal but just thought it was interesting. That room became a bit tight for 4 adults.
The upstairs bedroom has a great balcony with views of the Gulf. Great for coffee in the morning, sunsets and just some alone time. One thing to note with the upstairs bed room is A) there is no door, just a spiral staircase up there so SOUND TRAVELS and B) there isn't a complete wall between the bathroom and bedroom upstairs so choose your bathroom time wisely : )
The kitchen/family room layout was great for cooking, chatting and relaxing all while being together. I would say the kitchen is "minimally" stocked compared to other places I've stayed.
When we arrived there was no toilet paper or soap in any of the bathrooms. This was a bummer after finally arriving after a good drive from the airport. I called the owners/real estate company. I do feel like this process was difficult. No answer as it was after hours (7pm) and i couldn't leave a message anywhere. Thankfully someone called me back a little later but basically said I'll have to go get some for the meantime until they can come tomorrow. I did not like that. They did come the next day and drop off a few rolls and some soap.
The pool was nice. Patio set for sitting out for meals. Good amount of chair options for everyone.
Overall it fit our needs very well. Like I said before, you cannot beat the location to the beach, trolley stop and restaurants within walking distance!

We loved our Family vacation to AMI and the house was perfect! Location, beach supplies, pool - was awesome!!!!! We hope to visit and stay here again!!!!! Actually I would love to own property on AMI as this was our first visit and we fell in love with it!!!!!
10.0 / 10.0
This rental was excellent for our over 18 family. Lots of room to hang out together in the large living room or in the backyard. The rooms were private and allowed for everyone to be able to recharge. The pool is wonderful for swimming or sitting in the chairs and staying cool. It is a very short walk to the beach, which beach access one block away. The central location on the island is the best! There was also plenty of beach towels, pool accessories, kitchen supplies and bath towels. We brought extra beach towels but never used our own. The house is well equipped compared to other homes we have stayed in on AMI. Highly recommend!

Perfect beach getaway
We had a wonderful time relaxing at Dix-Sea-Land Delightful. The location is very convenient to the beach (like 90 seconds) and the pool was great! The house was very clean, and it was big enough for my husband and myself along with our pack of teenagers. The kitchen had all the necessities for cooking, we were set. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for a family or for 6 adults
Great location! We thought we would miss the north end of the island but there’s still plenty if dining and shopping here, and the beach is truly steps from your door. Perfect size of common areas for our group of 8. Note - we had 8 adults as that was listed for the property but it will work best with a max of 6 adults, as there are only two adult beds and one bunk bed , so two of us were on sofa beds in those common areas

Nursin' for a Vacay
My daughter just finished nursing school and passed the nclex. This place was perfect for a celebratory vacation. Loved the location. The house was amazing and so close to the beach. Also had the best pool. Would definitely stay here again.

Great vacation
The weather was awesome. The pool and the layout of the house was great. My husband and I were in the master and my 20 yr old son and girlfriend were in the upstairs bedroom and my 17 yr old daughter and friend stayed in the kids room.
We had a hard time figuring out some of the light switches and the outdoor projector. We did get the projector going.
House was a short walk to the beach, perfect but we felt the walk to restaurants was a little long. One was about a 1/2 mile and the rest were a mile.
We would stay there again.

Perfect Family Location
Very spacious and clean property. All of the details taken care of, maps provided, instructions clear, no need to change linens, etc. It was perfect for the 6 of us, with quick access to beach, quick access to free trolley around the island.

Beautiful!
Loved everything about this property! Perfect location and beautiful house to spend 5 days with my family; we would definitely love to come back and make a habit of staying here. The management company was very easy to contact and, when needed, responded promptly. My only tiny complaint was that there were no cleaning products (such as all purpose cleaner to spray down the outside table) and no extra toilet paper - these have always been staples at other places we've stayed so I wasn't expecting to have to shop for them.

10/10 stay!
We’ve stayed in Anna Maria several times and this house was so perfect for our family. Would definitely recommend and stay here again! The pool was lovely and we grilled almost everyday. The beach is literally just across the street and very easy access. House was equipped with everything you needed and spacious.

We had a great 6 day stay at this beach vacation rental. I give the whole experience a 5 star rating. Best parts:-having your own heated pool! The pool was great and perfect for our 3 kids (aged 4-11)-the beach really is two blocks away and since it is not near the more public part, it was not crowded and we felt COVID safe and had lots of room to spread out. They had everything you needed: a wagon, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, buckets, etc.-kitchen was stocked with cooking supplies, lots of towels, extra pillows, fans, etc. I saw a high chair and pack n play as well.-the drive into Anna Maria/Holmes Beach/Pine street was so worth it! we spent a lazy morning there and really liked it. Great food there!Some things we noted, that DID NOT take away from the experience: -the 3rd bedroom is more of an open air loft, there is no door and a skinny spiral staircase to get up. The bathroom up there is also open. So, the person in that room needs to be mobile and a sound sleeper, as you can hear everything up there-The master is in a separate part of the house...which was great but I was very glad I brought a baby monitor because the kids were so far away from me.-There is no accessibility for mobile impaired people, lots of stairs-this part of the beach/Anna Maria is not walkable to restaurants/shops. I did not know the area well when I booked. Yes, a group of adults could walk the about mile to some restaurants, but it was too far for my kids. Not a deal breaker, just something we discovered.-As I find with many Airbnb/VRBOs, what is in the kitchen always varies. This is one where nothing is left behind, so no condiments, no oils, nothing like that. So make sure to stock up on your way inOverall we loved our stay, give it 5 STARS and would book again!Thank you for everything!

Awesome home and location!
This is one of the best homes we have ever stayed in on vacation. The home was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The location was PERFECT! This was our 3rd trip to Anna Maria Island and this home will definitely be one that we would stay in again.

Amazing house!
This is the nicest house I've ever booked through VRBO. I had 3 kids with me, and we had plenty of space for all of us. I had my own huge room on one side of the house, and the kids had their rooms on the other side. We had everything we could've needed in the kitchen, very well stocked. The decor was beautiful. The location of this house is amazing!! It is a 3 minute walk to the beach. You can see the beach from the upstairs deck. And the heated pool is amazing, my kids got a lot of use out of it. I will definitely stay here again if I find myself on Anna Maria Island.

Week in October
The check in process was easy and convenient. We were pleasently surprised when we walked into the house. It was supper clean and comfortable. The pool was amazing. Couldn’t ask to be any closer to the beach and you could sit on the roof top patio and enjoy the view. There were plenty of towels for the house and the beach! We will definitley stay again!! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home

Perfect for our mother/daughter getaway!
There is definitely room for many more than two people, but my mom and I wanted to stay at this house anyway and we were glad we did! We loved the layout, the colors, the decor, and the location. We were also excited about the pool in the back and that is where we ended up spending most of our time. We loved the chairs and umbrella right in the pool and well as the other lounge chairs and the table where we could eat outside. The house had everything we needed both inside and out and we were happy to find everything we needed for the beach as well (towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, and a wagon). The beach is an easy walk from the house with easy access right onto the beautiful powdery white sand. The upstairs patio of the house has a beautiful view of the ocean, but even then we couldn't resist spending our time out by the pool. The house was spotless, check in and out could not have been easier and everyone was great to work with. There was plenty of parking space too. It was obvious that the owners have gone above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and to have a wonderful stay. We also loved the island! We enjoyed the beach, the sunsets, the restaurants, the shopping and the overall Floridian feel of the island that made us feel more like locals than tourists. We will definitely go back!
