Our stay was as good as you could wish for. The property is spacious and had everything we needed as a family. The beach was a short walk away, all facilities needed were no more than a short drive away. The outside space was excellent. Being able to watch the bay and it’s wildlife was fabulous. We would definitely stay there again! The hosts were exceptionally helpful.

Our family just returned from 2 weeks at this wonderful home. Plenty of room for 8 adults. We spent a lot of time in the pool. It was a very hot 2 weeks and the awnings were awesome. The beach was a short walk and beautiful.
We had no issues and any questions prior to our trip were quickly answered by Caroline. This property is on our list for a return trip!

Superb Bay location with great aspect highlighted by stunning view from main bedroom. Perfect pool and outdoor setup including awnings……
Also try a little fishing off dock - use live shrimp for best results - I caught a fine sea trout!
We saw Dolphins everyday off the dock
There nearby beach is perfect.
Owner was very helpful - including fishing advice!

What a wonderful home and in the perfect location. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
We had a slight hiccup at the start, but John and Caroline resolved our issue without delay.
Brilliant destination for a family break, Anna Maria was just beautiful and everything we had hoped for

Fantastic location and outdoor area. Short walk to nice beach area. Plenty of room for large families. Had issue with initial cleaning of home. It was a miscommunication with cleaning service. While this was not an ideal start it was an honest mistake and the owner and cleaning service were very responsive and fair in handling and resolving. Their handling of the issue, location, views and outdoor area are all reasons for a repeat visit.

We fully enjoyed our stay at this property! The location was excellent - wonderful views of the intercoastal, short walk to the beach and very short drive to the grocery store. The property was clean, well-stocked and comfortably appointed.

We were very happy when we walked into the house. Very large rooms. The photos don't do it justice. A beautiful stairway leading up to another beautiful view and a master suite. The pool and the view of the intracoastal were amazing. We saw dolphins pretty much every day next to the dock. I even saw a 4 ft shark swim by. The awnings helped with the hot weather. We would come back in a heartbeat!

The house and location was amazing! The house looks better then on the pictures. Walking to the beach 8 minutes and many shops and rentals within 5 minutes driving. The oven was not working and we tried to contact the property manager and never got a respond. However, everything else was great, pool, the pier and water view and house! Definitely coming back!

Property was perfect for our family getaway. Really enjoyed the spectacular water views and pool.

The house was charming on the outside and comfortable on the inside. The rooms were cozy and nicely decorated. The house had all the amenities mentioned on the Homeaway listing. The house was clean, the beds comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Our family enjoyed the pool, especially our granddaughters. They were in the pool all the time. We loved the view from the dock. The view from the upstairs bedroom was beautiful and so relaxing. I may miss that the most. We walked to the beach most evenings to watch the sunsets. Our family agreed that being right on the inter coastal was really great because we saw dolphins everyday and even saw manatees a couple times. We had a wonderful vacation that came to an end too soon.

We stayed at the home in early June and had a great time on our first-ever visit to AMI!
The home is just as pictured and has more thoughtful additions than any other rental homes we have used in the past. I don't believe there is one kitchen tool that is not available for use! Communication with Caroline was always prompt and she took care of the only small situation we had within 30 minutes once I emailed her. I would totally recommend this home, and have already, to friends and family!

We rented the Lewin home for a two week family vacation which included a 6 and almost 3 year old and 6 month old baby and their parents. The house could not have been more perfect with separation of master bedroom on the second floor for grandparents! The home had three bedrooms and two baths on the first floor which was perfect for daughters, husbands and children. We rented a crib for baby, rails for 2 1/2 yr old from ABC Rental which was delivered before our arrival when house cleaners were there.
The kitchen was overly stocked and even a crock pot! My only negative was that the cabinets had much more than anyone would ever need and made for minimal space for all the dry goods we purchased for a family of 8!
When I inquired before we left to drive south in January if there were beach chairs for 6 adults or should we pack them, I was told there were beach chairs. When we arrived, a broken sand chair that sits on the ground was broken and there was a portable metal chair that goes in a bag. With that said, because it cost $150 to rent 6 beach chairs and an umbrella we only rented them for one of the two weeks we were there. I noticed on many sites I looked at, many homes included chairs, bikes, umbrellas and/or kayaks. Being on the bay, a kayak or two would have been nice.
We did find fishing rods and rented bait so the kids caught a couple small fish before breakfast which was exciting and one day a dolphin swam close to the dock.
Many mornings we woke to a Blue Heron hanging out next to the pool who was very tame as was the White Egret who was also a regular. The pool was awesome and it was hard to get the two grandkids out of it. The temp was perfect and we learned from the pool caretaker it was a new high tech heating system so we appreciated that!
After the grandkids were put to bed, we had very energetic billiard and dart completions in the game room which was great fun. And what a view of the pool, bay and wildlife. Wish that was the living room which we spent more time in. I might suggest they clean the stained carpets on the main floor.
Another negative would be lack of parking. We had two cars so we were constantly switching cars in and out as we were going different directions. There would have been parking in front of the house but we learned the end of the second week the two cars parked there belonged to the owners who leave them. Aside from negatives, we still gave it 5 stars because the house and location were perfect!
