Every thing was as stated in vrbo. Great pool area and outdoor space. House has plenty of room for a big family. Great location with a shuttle bus stop next to property. Golf cart was great.The family had plenty of room to sleep and enjoy our vacation. I would rent this place again in a heart beat. Thanks for a great family vacation to the oweners.

We stayed with our children and grandkids loved our time on the island. The house is in a great location for just about everything. It was very well stocked with all the basics (cookware, spices, paper products, etc). The bedrooms are spread throughout the house which gave everyone privacy and the upscale bathrooms with great showers were nice. Our grandson thought it was so cool that he could play music through the upstairs shower wall! The PacMan video machine was also a big hit!! The pool was great and was serviced twice during the week. The yard was surrounded with lush greenery, which gave us a lot of privacy. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, tons of space, good size bedrooms, home was very well equipped with everything you could have needed. Pool and hot tub were perfect. Plenty of seating outside. We’d definitely stay again.

House was in a nice central location with three block walk to the beach. Bedroom layout allowed for lots of privacy for each person/couple. Didn't have young children, but the house had plenty of equipment and items for younger children. The pool and hot tub and private outdoor space was the bomb!

Paddle board was broken, bikes were not road worthy and owner said "sorry people don't rent houses for the amenities," and refused to repair bikes or replace paddle board. Closet door came down when my niece opened it and hit her in the head. Smell of dead rodents in garage. Golf cart is old and battery doesn't hold charge long with tire that is flat and needs to be pumped up before each use. Day before we left the entire house had horrible sewer smell as all plumbing traps were somehow flushed out. We had to open all windows, run some water at every sink and tub and leave. Gave me a nauseating headache. At that point I was tired of the owners passive attitude and stopped wasting my vacation time messaging him. Feel strongly that we deserved some kind of refund as this house is not worth what we were charged! Kitchen table is worn out, drawers broken in kitchen, pool basketball hoop leaks and kept falling on our heads, lights flicker... the list goes on and on. Owner admitted he has not had anyone there take care of trees in year and a half. Only thing owner did for us was send pest control out. Good thing was pool, hot tub gets hot but no working jets when tub is turned on. Owner stated going through life event. if that is case this house should be taken off VRBO as it is not being maintained.

We stayed at the house the week of March 4th to the 11th. We were disappointed in the condition the place has fallen to compared to the pictures. We contacted the owner on a few immediate issues and he informed us that due to some personal issues, he hasn’t been to the property in about a year. For the most part, everything was functional but just worn. We still had a nice time, but we just want others to be aware of several issues that we experienced while using the property. There were 5 bikes in the photos. When we arrived, there were only 4 and 2 of them were unusable. The owner said he was ordering tires and tubes, but they never arrived. The garage door glass was broken, a trim board was hanging down and the garage door opener was not working properly either. The leather couch, kitchen table and stools on glass top table were all heavily worn. The Keurig coffee maker was not functioning. We did use the other coffee maker without issue. The mattress in the green/grey bedroom needs to be replaced The cornhole boards were unusable. The side of the house where the pictures showed where you would play was all overgrown and the bags were dry rotted. The mirror frame in the upstairs bathroom was broken. The pool company never came the whole week we were there. We emptied the skimmer basket and skimmed the pool. There was a tile missing from the pool wall on the spa end. The outside shower in the back was also unusable due to how overgrown the area was. The landscaping guy did show up on Saturday as we were packing up to leave. Said he hadn’t been there since January due to a family issue. Perhaps the outside of the house is cleaned up by now. This is a long list of items, some are recent, some are long term. Most of the pictures appear to be from 2013 when I am assuming they started renting it. It’s a shame it has fallen to this level. The owner will probably write a rebuttal on my comments and say that the items have been addressed. Perhaps, but my point is it should never have been rented to us in this condition at this price. This home wasn’t cheap to rent, and I would have expected a higher level of quality at this price point. I am not nitpicking here. I own rental properties of my own and I know what it takes to keep a place to a high standard. I hope the owners address the items and return it to its once former status. Been to AMI a couple times now and will be looking for a different place to stay the next time we go.

House needs some inside and outside clean up. Outside bushes are all over grown and palm trees have dead branches on ground in backyard. Cracked glass in garage door with rubber molding hanging off from trim.Had many bicycles in garage only 2 available disappointed picture showed 5. All TVS were weird streaming only. The 3 bathrooms were updated was nice. Outside shower they mentioned was unacceptable needs work. Pool and hot tub was great. I think they could use curtains on front double doors. They had 5 bedrooms was great for our 7 friends. Overall had a wonderful time

The property was perfect for our family! The property was well-maintained and as described. The home had plenty to do without leaving the premises! Corn hole, tiki bar, swim up bar, hot tub and outdoor living area made this it’s very own resort. The shuttle runs in front of the home and will take you around the island with ease. Beautiful spot happy that we got to discover Ana Maria Island.

The property was everything we could have asked for. The owner lives out of state (I’m guessing) so he has others take care of it. We only had a problem with the hot tub and the pool guy blamed us. If it was our fault we don’t know how so we ended up going 2 days with no pool or hot tub because the guy refused to come out. Not really the owner’s fault, he’s at the mercy of his maintenance folks. But I would stay again in a heartbeat, it was beautiful, comfortable, and pure paradise!!

Overall we enjoyed our week. Joseph was super responsive to any requests we had like lights being burnt out or the fridge water filter being changed. The house also had 3 pack and plays and plenty of towels. It also had a high chair, baby rocker, and various toys. The kids loved the arcade and we were happy with the collection of sand toys and so many infant floaties! The pool was amazing and we had so much fun out there. The grill was easy, the outdoor showers made trips back from the beach easy to clean up after. The kids were also obsessed with the cool built in bunk bed. The only downside was as mentioned in another review, the place is a bit worn and not the level we like for ourselves at home, but given the location, the stuff we had access to, and that it was clean, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. It was like staying at a friend’s place vs just an accommodation/hotel, which may not have all of these things you need when traveling with kids. I would recommend bringing a baby bath tub though since there is no tub anywhere! It would be nice if the doors to the room next to the kitchen closed better as they swing open when the ac turns on. Also, blackout blinds would be great as well, especially in the front bedroom which was super bright!

The location of the house was perfect. There were 4 of us and we each were able to have a private bedroom. There are only 3 bathrooms as there is an outside shower. There also isn’t a bathtub. We would definitely go back.

This was a very well equipped house. It had everything you need from kitchen stuff to beach supplies. The pool and spa was great. The island was not to big but big enough to find stuff to do.

This was a very nice rental. We had four different couples, two of the couples with children, and the rental was set up perfect for the situation. We came in directly after a hurricane and the owners worked very well with us, making our stay the best they could under the situation. The only down fall at all would be the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced but other than that the property was very nice.

We had the most amazing week staying at this location. 10/10 recommend staying here. This was the most accommodating house we have ever stayed in. We travelled with a 1 year old which is stressful but this house had every single thing you could possibly need for a week for a toddler which made it so relaxing. This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island and we already can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your house for our trip.

The house was awesome and had plenty of space. Actually, bigger inside than it looks in the pictures. Pool area was spectacular and plenty of water toys and activities as well. Would definitely stay there again.

This property was excellent spacious comfortable pool area was great kids loved it. I have been going to the island for a few years and this property was the best I started in so far. I would definitely recommend this property to My family and friends and I definitely will be staying there from now on. All in all wonderful place to stay.

The property was very clean when we arrived and the pool/spa was a much needed addition to our stay since we were vacationing with small children. Our party of 8 fit perfectly in the home with room to spare; not once did it feel like we were cramped together. The location of the home was fantastic minutes away from the beach, shops and restaurants. The property managers were very pleasant to work with and answered our questions quickly.

The pool area was great. It had shade and fun water features. The golf cart was an added bonus. Make sure you find the hidden outside shower behind the master suite.

Our family really enjoyed our stay! House was right by the most beautiful beach! Had everything we needed and more. If your not sure about booking DO IT, this home and location has everything you will need to have a relaxed vacation. Everything is as described and the home is very nice and roomy. You won’t be disappointed. This was our first visit and we will MOST definitely be back to Anna Marie! Thank you for having us!!

We had the best time during our stay at Casa Laguna in Holmes Beach. The home is clean and it came equipped with everything we needed, including tons of bath and beach towels, beach chairs, pool noodles and floats, bikes, and a golf cart. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed (including a blender...which we put to good use making many, many strawberry daiquiris!). There was even a crockpot, which we didn't use but I was happy to see it in the kitchen! The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and well designed. The lighting in the home is fantastic (just took us a day or so to figure out which switch belonged to which light)! The living room furniture is comfortable/spacious. We enjoyed curling up on the couch and watching a movie after a long day in the pool and at the beach. The best part about this home is the pool, in our opinion. It is warm and clean and we used it every single day, at all times of the day. The pool area feels so private that we completely forgot that the home was in a neighborhood. It felt like a tropical oasis. The neighborhood is really quiet and it is super easy to get to the beach. We didn't have any problems parking our car or the golf cart at the beach on 72nd or 73rd streets. This home was a dream and we loved everything about our vacation. Thank you to the Darby family for creating such a thoughtful vacation home. Our family loved it and we can't wait to come back again (hopefully soon)!

We absolutely loved our time on the island and at Casa Laguna. It was our 2nd time to rent the home and were so glad we went back. The house has lots of space and included every amenity you could possibly need while on vacation. The outdoor area with pool, hot tub, grill, etc., was fantastic. We had a quick 3 block walk to the beach and they had all the chairs, towels and toys we needed. Would highly recommend Casa Laguna!

Incredible property super clean super spacious, pool and hot tub were amazing. The host was very attentive and we just love the house!

We loved this property! It had everything we needed for the kids and was close to the center of the island and the beach. The owners are very friendly and made us feel at home.

This house was amazing and very Child friendly. Everything about it was great

This was a great location for a family with 16, 13, and 10 year old. Close to beach with a great pool

What can I say, The house was as advertised. Great location for the beach, shopping, restaurants and just relaxing. Spent the evenings in the heated pool and hot tub to unwind from a wonderful island vacation. 5 stars, would definitely be back to the island and this home if they will have us. Thank you!!!

Beautiful home, everyone enjoyed their stay!! Even the dogs!!😊🌴

The house was absolutely amazing. Plenty of room for a couple families, we traveled with 5 of us and the house was plenty big. The owners really provide everything you need it was just like home. The beds were super comfy to climb into after a long day outside. The beach which is absolutely gorgeous was a 2 minute ride on the golf cart provided for you. The one thing that I will say the pictures of the pool don’t capture the true beauty of the area. It was like you were at a resort. This was our first time here and we definitely will be back.

This place was awesome for our family. We so enjoyed all the amenities and luxury of home. The beds were so comfortable adding to the already great set up! Of course Anna Maria was beautiful Thank you Darby’s for a great place to vacation!

We stated a week with 6-7 adults and 5 kids, ranging from 3 to 13. The property had everything that was needed for a beach vacation. Only 3 blocks from the beach, we used the golf cart everyday to transport everyone and everything! Everything one could possibly need for the beach was supplied. Chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and towels. The Pool - kids and adults both loved the pool. Relaxing and beautiful. Once again everything that one needs is supplied. Floats, toys, puddle jumpers and games. The kids room was great, they loved the pac man game! We as a family so enjoyed this property and highly recommend it for a Family Vacation. The owners are quick to respond to questions. Thank You Joseph and Erica for a Wonderful Family Vacation

This was my family’s 6th trip to the island. We always stay in houses and this was by far the perfect layout for our multiple generations of attendees. Loved it.

This place was awesome for our family. We so enjoyed all the amenities and luxury of home. The beds were so comfortable adding to the already great set up! Of course Anna Maria was beautiful 🌊🇺🇸 Thank you Darby’s for a great place to vacation!
