Beautiful location directly at the beach. Great new TV equipment/Wifi and Gas Grill.
If bushes were cut there could be a 180 degree Gulf view. Would highly recommend as used to be the case years back. We loved to watch dolphins in the morning swimming by.

Here’s the review I wish I would’ve seen to make an informed decision about booking. Hope this helps somebody else. The house was clean. Everything was in working order. It’s right on the beach but it is DIRECTLY beside a public access. The driveway is the beach access. The beach was crowded. People parked in and blocked the driveway and filled our garbage cans so we couldn’t put our garbage in there. There is no washer/dryer and they provided 4 washcloths and probably 10 towels for our family of 4 for a week. I asked if we could get more or a refresh but was told they only provide what was there for check in. If you are staying here you might want to bring towels and washcloths. If I had known it was at a public access I would not have booked this property but that’s my opinion and part of what I look for in a vacation rental. The house itself was good and couldn’t be closer to the beach.

Since we are empty nesters, it’s nice to find a smaller house located perfectly on the beach that accommodates our needs and budget. To us, a big bang for the bucks.
4.7
Location is absolutely perfect, other than sharing the public beach access, but there is limited parking so no big issue at all.
View the most beautiful sunsets every night, right off the deck.
Publix and a few restaurants and ice cream is right around the corner.
Very clean, easy access, easy booking, I highly recommend it, it was the absolute perfect honeymoon.
I would definitely go back

The location was everything. House was clean and had plenty of towels. Good water pressure in the shower. My New Happy Place!🏝️♥️

House was ok, location was unbelievable!

This place isn't the ritz by any means, but its perfect for a beach vacation. Every day we drug our beach tent onto the beach and then at the end of the day we just dragged it back to the porch! What you're paying for here is the location and it's worth it. Also, the size was comfortable for our group of five.
4.7
Home needs TLC and a deep cleaning. The location, however is second to none. We loved being able to step out the door directly on the beach. The sunsets are spectacular. It was never a problem being right next to a public beach access. Trolley access is very close and a convenient way to see the rest of the island.

We loved the location! The deck is right on the beach and was perfect for beach days. This place is great for a cottage style stay with direct beach access. Mornings and evenings on the deck were especially beautiful!

If you are looking for location, this cottage has it. If you are looking for up to date, clean furniture and rust free fans and clean walls and cabinets, it might not be the place for you.

The location on Ana Maria Island and proximity to the beach and water are outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that Vrbo passed me onto a giant international rental property management corporation, who I would never recommend based on this experience. They are nearly impossible to communicate with and have not taken good care of this property, which exhibits, rot, mold, and extensive wear and tear. I certainly won’t use that company in the future, and I will be less inclined to use Vrbo. I have had very good luck with another vacation rental booking platform and working directly with property owners because they take pride in said property. I hope that in the future VRBO will be more transparent with who they are representing on their platform.

The location of this property is ideal. The deck is directly on the beach. The rental is small, but met all of our needs.

Step off the deck, you are on the beach! A perfect cottage by the sea. Plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, tvs in every bedroom and living area, great Wi-Fi, a very nice January getaway!

Cutest cottage with the best, private beachfront deck and view. I would definitely stay there again.

Because one can walk out the living room glass doors onto the patio and with another step, you’re right on the beach m. To sit on the patio, looking at the beach and waves, is so peaceful!

The location and beach were wonderful,
Sunsets amazing! It is a sweet cottage on the ocean!

Great location. You can just step out onto the beach. Great view to just sit on the deck in the morning with your coffee and listen to the waves or in the evening to watch the sunset .

Fabulous beach cottage!!
Just steps from the ocean, deck right on the sand. House very well furnished and equipped with all you could need. Can’t beat the sunsets on your own patio each night! Vacasa responded same day to our maintenance call. Very pleased… they even came out on a holiday! Would definitely rent again! Thanks for a wonderful 20th anniversary vacation!

The house is small with some structural issues, needs a washer/dryer and a covered porch, is a bit overpriced for the size, BUT it is ON THE BEACH! Not “steps to.” On the beach! It was spotless, had a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, nice decor, very quiet, close to shopping, and did I mention that it was ON THE BEACH? We had a great time!

This is our second year at SeaLaVie. The deck with its amazing view is worth it all. The berms on either side of the deck provides just enough privacy to separate you from the many visitors on the beach.

House is clean & directly on the beach.
Home is in need of repairs. Problems were relayed by email to Vacasa repeatedly with no return communication from local office at all.
We’ve rented from Vacasa in the past with no problem so this was disappointing.
