The location of this house is perfect for bike rides around the island as well as walking distance to the beach. My husband, myself and two of our boys, another family of four and two more family members were able to share this house. We all enjoyed the outside space with the pool and seating area. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers and a wagon. The house was one of the cleanest houses we’ve stayed in!! If I could make any suggestions it would be in the kitchen area…a griddle would be awesome for making pancakes and bacon. We all loved our stay on AMI!! Thanks, Melissa, for opening your home up to this Hoosier/Boilermaker Family!!

I don't know how to write a review that does this property/location justice. If you made it this far and are reading reviews, book this right away!!! My family has been going to FL for years, and this hands down was the best vacation we have taken. We will certainly be coming back. I'll start with the host; Missy is an absolute professional. She is everything you would want in a host; communicative, kind, thoughtful and pays attention to all details of your booking. The house is fantastic - looking at the pictures I figured this house would be amazing but the pictures actually don't do it justice. The house in clean and very spacious. And again; it has EVERYTHING you will need for your stay. We had our toddler with us and overpacked considering the house was well equipped for kids of all ages. Stocked with toys for the pool and beach. We had 9 family members here and when we were in pool in the backyard everyone kept saying how it felt like we were in a remote oasis. The location was top notch; I was expecting a short walk to the beach but was was surprised that it was right across the street. I have stayed at resorts right on the ocean with a further walk away than this house is. Anna Maria is an amazing little town, it has everything you need and is a cute little beach town where you can walk, bike or cart to anywhere you need. Again; everything about this vacation was incredible and if you book this house you will not be disappointed.

Everything at this house was perfect. We brought minimal supplies (paper towels, tp, some spices and coffee). We did bring laundry and dishwasher soap as well. We did not find any laundry detergent. There are plenty of beach towels, water toys and floats. Also a beach cart. We did bring our own beach chairs. The pool is perfect with a 1/2 day of sun for this time of year. The evening were cool and a patio heater would have been a plus. We were not able to enjoy the lanai after sunset. The owners checked in and are very responsive. I would highly recommend this property for a large group.

The place was perfect for meeting up with friends and families of different states. Very close to the beach, stores and restaurants. The house had everything for cooking and eating in, chairs, umbrellas and towels for the beach, nice pool area out back. Would definitely stay again.

Every year we choose a place for the 10 of us to go for a week. This year’s choice did not disappoint at all! Enough room for all of us to stay comfortably, heated pool and spa were amazing, super close to beach and many options for walking, shopping and eating. Missy was very responsive with any questions we had.

Beautiful house with all the amenities you need. Short walk to the beach well located

My family and I had a stellar experience and would highly recommend staying here and working with Missy. Everything was 5 star from communication to cleanliness to location. Plenty of beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, wagon to transport everything, floaties/life jacket for the kids and more! Easy, one block walk to the beach. The heated pool was perfect and the environment was tranquil.

This house is amazing! We had 6 adults and 3 young kids stay at this house in October and we couldn’t have been happier. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and walking distance to many shops and restaurants. They also provide lots of beach toys and things for the pool which was awesome to have available. The owner of the house was awesome to work with and she always answered questions in a timely manner. Even after we had been there a few days, she texted and made sure we had everything we needed. Great house, great customer service! Highly recommend!

The house was decorated beautiful, and wonderful location.

This was an Amazing beach house. I was celebrating with my family. The house was clean well equipped just as pictured. We unfortunately had to evacuate for a hurricane so we lost some of our time but the host was very helpful and responsive in helping us deal with the hurricane. Easy short walk to the beach .nice beach chairs and toys for the kids. I hope to return again.

Great beach house for our family vacay. Great location and house set-up.

The host is great and the house is perfect for an extended family vacation. Walk to beach was quick and easy.

Blue Sky was the perfect fit for our family. House was extra clean, pool was fantastic, our short walk to the beach was so close it was we were beachfront. Working with Missy was such a pleasure. She was so helpful, it was working with your closest friend. I highly recommend this house.

We had 7 adults and 2 kids and this house had plenty of room. The pool area was fantastic and the proximity to the beach was great. Also the owners were very responsive and quickly addressed any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this house to anyone traveling to Anna Maria.

We loved our stay in this property. Our family enjoyed the pool and the pretty back yard. The short walk to the beach was really easy and we LOVED walking down for sunset time. Just beautiful!

This is the 3rd time our family has stayed on Anna Maria Island and yet again, it didn’t disappoint. Missy’s home was beautiful, clean, and had nearly everything we could've wanted (we had some cooler nights that blankets would have been nice). The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, some kind people had left behind some spices. We had plenty of beach towels and beach equipment - very comfy chairs!! Pool toys were great - so many floaties and toys. Be careful of the deck… that Florida sun can REALLY get it toasty. She was extremely quick responding to all of our messages & we felt very welcomed - great property owner!! We certainly recommend checking this place out.

If we could rate using a 25 instead of five, we would!!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Everything was as described, great location

Our stay at Blue Skye was amazing. We even asked if they had a griddle for us to make pancakes and they provided one. Missy went above and beyond to answer all questions to make our week long stay the best it could be. Just a short walk to Holmes Beach. The trolley pick up was a 1/2 block away and monkey bus picked us up at our front door and took us anywhere on the island. The pool was immaculate and James came twice weekly to clean and give us tips on places to go and see. My only regret is I couldn’t stay longer.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Blue Sky. The pool was the highlight for the kids (with alarms on the doors, which was a bonus for the parents) Extremely clean property and walking distance to the beach. We had toddlers, teens and adults and everyone enjoyed the stay. Will definitely rent again!

Great location and house, would recommend for families. However could use better furniture in the living room as there's not a lot of comfortable seating for a group. However the bug system in the outdoor area was amazing as we didn't have any issues with mosquitos.

House is beautiful just as listed. We could not asked for anything better and we are already looking into next year

Our hostess Missy was very accommodating. Communication was excellent. Very pleasant.

We had a wonderful week at this property! It is very clean , and the owners provide all the extras for family fun at the beach and/or pool. I heartily recommend this rental property to all groups!

Every year four best friends (The Mooses--college name) get together for a week. We had a lovely time at Blue Sky. Location was fantastic. Short 5 minute walk to the beach. Very quiet neighborhood. Communication with Missy was great. She responded almost immediately with my few questions. She even checked in with me about midway through the week to see how things were going. One thing to note: There is a nice bedroom on the first floor. However, it is where the kitchen/dinning/living room is. Make sure the person (s) who stay up the latest use that bedroom. Thank you MIssy. We had a wonderful stay.

We had an incredibly relaxing week at this very clean, comfortable and welcoming home. The kitchen is well stocked for everything. The private pool was just beautiful and a calming retreat when needed. The beach is super close and everything is provided for you: chairs, umbrella, towels, cart, cooler... just so easy to go back and forth. We walked every day and enjoyed gorgeous sunsets at night. Missy is very responsive and you couldn't ask for a better homeowner. Our new favorite place!!

I especially appreciated that the owner reached out to us to ensure all was well, and provided us with information regarding restaurants etc. There was one problem concerning wildlife outside , and the owner acted upon it immediately upon notification. We would happily stay at the same property in the future.

We had a wonderful vacation. The house was well equipped, location was great and the pool was as amazing.

Our stay at Blue Skies was perfect. The house and pool were beautiful for our family of 10. Holmes Beach was about 1/2 block away - a very short walk. Missy was very easy to work with. She provided all of the info we needed. I would highly recommend this property. Thank you Missy for letting us make great family memories.

Great place to stay. Can’t beat the location. Owner was great with letting us store our belongings until house was ready. Great communication with owner through out stay.

We love Anna Maria Island and this is, by far, the best place we’ve stayed in the 30+ years that I have been coming here with family. The house is clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. The back patio and pool are amazing. The space is very private, surrounded by palms and tropical foliage. The rooftop deck is a great place to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee, or to quickly dry off after a dip in the pool or hot tub. The walk to the beach is, maybe, a block and takes less than 5 minutes and is a great place to watch the sunset and enjoy the sand, sun and surf. Missy was fantastic. She was very friendly, professional and responsive to any needs or requests, which were very few and minor since the house is so well maintained. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and restful escape from the stress of “real” life. It was certainly just what our family needed to reset and recharge.

Our family is from Minnesota and one cold winter day we found the Blue Sky on Anna Maria Island. My husband, myself, my two adult children and their spouses, plus our four grandsons met to celebrate my retirement. This house...was PERFECTION! It was beautifully decorated, had an amazing pool for young children and provided hours of entertainment for everyone. The hot tub was a highlight, too. The house came with everything we needed for the beach-wagon, umbrellas, beach towels, a cooler, sand toys and beach cart. The house was a short walk to the most amazing beach on the planet and we never had to worry about parking. The house had three floors, so each family had a space. I never even heard one peep from our young family members. The kitchen was well-equipped in every way. It was the hub of our time together. We cannot say enough about this great place. Missy Prout is an outstanding property manager. Even our 3-year grandson said, "I like Missy Prout!" Our family became a stronger unit because of having such an amazing place to stay and celebrate together. It was a better than any of our expectations! I have had several people ask for information about the Blue Sky. Does that mean I have to share? Of course I would. Thank you so much for creating such a paradise on Anna Maria Island and sharing it. With gratitude, Becky Hanson
