This house was super cute and in a great location on the north part of the island. It was a close walk to the beach and the cute shops and stores. Mark & Ramona were great to work with and quickly responsive to any questions of concerns. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for accuracy of online listing is that it was hard to find the address in the information given to us. And it needs to be updated on Zillow. It still shows photos of the old house and no pool. Scared us a bit that we got the wrong house! We would definitely stay here again!

Overall a nice property, if a bit tired. The hosts were great and the location top notch. Master bath rather worn. Glassware not up to snuff, but we will definitely stay again.

We were amazed at how clean and well appointed this home was. Every thing we could have needed was provided for us. Ramona was very helpful in her hints about where to find a store that was less busy and great driving directions into AMI

We had such a wonderful time at Sapphire Surf. The house was everything we needed and more! It has everything you need for the kitchen, the beach, and the pool. Our family of four, including our four year old and nine month old, stayed for five days and hardly wanted to leave. Hot tip, the huge walk in closet in the queen bed room works great for a little baby nursery! The houses location was wonderful too: walking distance to the beach (even for a four year old), walking distance to shops, and very private backyard. Thanks so much for having us! We can’t wait to come back.

Very nice property! Would highly recommend

This property was absolutely perfect for our family , close to all you would ever need on vacation - The beach and shelling was amazing - the shopping was a walk away ! The House was PERFECT !!! The backyard was a slice of heaven !!!! Definitely planning our next vacation ;-)

The rental was exactly as described. Very clean and a nice set up including a great outdoor space and screened in porch. The house had 2 bedrooms, one was large with a walk in closet area that housed toys and a play area. The garage was stocked with everything to meet your beach and pool needs. The house was located within a short walking distance of the beach, coffee shops and good restaurants. Would definitely stay there again!

Sapphire Surf is the absolute best home on AMI. Our second stay there and the hosts do such an amazing job making sure the house feels like a home. Well stocked kitchen - everything was clean and cozy. Pool is perfect and the pool accessories they have make it easy to be relaxed and enjoy the sun. Great location to everything too!

This was our 3rd time staying at Sapphire Surf and we are already looking forward to a return trip. Ramona and Mark make everything so easy. The home is well cared for. It is super clean, neat, organized and has everything you would need. The private pool was perfect for those hot days! The location is also an easy walk to the beach. So much to love about this home!!

Overall the house was as advertised. The stove top was broken when we arrived but this was not the fault of the owners and we were notified immediately. The only thing that I think needs some attention is the dishes in the kitchen. There were several dishes that were dirty and we ended up washing everything we used before using it. The rest of the house was very clean and we liked being able to walk to the beach and to restaurants and ice cream places. We felt safe in the neighborhood as well. We also very much appreciated the early check in and late check out that were made available to us. That was really very helpful.

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood. On our first day (Sat)we went for a swim. The pool water was cloudy and there was a horrible smell, so much so we couldn’t swim. The owner was notified that same night. Monday she finally said they sent the pool service out but there wasn’t anything wrong with the pool, however they treated it anyway. Either way the water cleared up and the smell was significantly better. The ceiling fan in master bedroom was so loose it had a use extreme caution label on it we couldn’t use it out of fear of bodily harm. My husband actually ended up tightening all the screws back up on it while we were there so we could use it We had a nice week and headed out late Thursday. On SUNDAY days after we left I get an email asking about us breaking their stove!? We never even used the stove. After asking what they were talking about they emailed a zoomed (no surroundings visible) in picture of a glass stove top that was broken. We tried to call and talk things out(sun afternoon) as anything could have happened in the 3 days after we left. They said they’d call back after talking with repair man, but today (Tuesday) I get an email stating I have been charged for the stove top that I never touched and claimed it couldn’t be fixed because it was too old. I hate that it is broken, but there was a large unaccounted time frame before anything was said…and we didn’t do it. I am just sad. I am a leave things better than you found them type girl so this just stinks.

The location was perfect for a very laid back vacation. It was an easy short walk to the beach then you could return to the house and pool to enjoy the peace and privacy. Also extremely easy to walk or bike to coffee, restaurants or shops. The house and property itself was wonderful! Even better than the pictures 🙂

Property was even better than advertised. Perfect set up for young kids, location and cleanliness. Will look to stay here again for future trips.

House was perfect, pool was amazing, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance or a very short drive, I was able to walk to the beach which was awesome and they had a beach cart which was great. Loved the entire trip!

Absolutely perfect! Wonderful location, great pool, comfy beds and super clean!

Wow!! We have been to AMI several times and stayed at a different house each time. We don’t have to worry about that anymore, this house and property manager Ramona have won our hearts with Sapphire Surf. Location, location, location and the house was super clean!! The pool was amazing and I am a pool girl!! A short 2 block walk to the beach, and of course the glistening blue water and soft white sand beaches are a big reason we come to AMI. Very centrally located to several of our favorite spots. We will definitely be back!! Thanks Mark and Ramona!!

The home was absolutely perfect for our friend group of 4. The outside space is fantastic. The house was very clean and well kept. Perfect location to many attractions. I would definitely rent this home again!

The house and property was very clean and well stocked with a high level of positive service. The house demonstrates a high level of pride of ownership and was perfect for us. It is also in a great location , minutes from the beach and some very nice restaurants. The entire island is also very relaxed and a great place to unwind. Our stay was a very pleasant one without anything at all of concern to us.

Adorable, well equipped home in a fabulous location! Easy short walks to Anna Maria’s top spots. The heated pool was perfect for little ones with its shallow end. Lots of beach and pool toys/equipment, games, books…the little extras provided by the owner didn’t go unnoticed!

This was our first visit to Anna Maria island and we picked the perfect place! The home was a very short walk to the beach on the golf side or the bay side.! Owners thought of every possible essential plus many many extras! Absolutely loved this home!!!

Had a wonderful time staying at this perfect island getaway. Everything that you could every need on vacation is there. Perfect location. We love staying on Anna Maria end of the island. Quick walk to the beach. The beach cart was a wonderful bonus to have; made taking things to the beach so much easier. Pool was nice to hop in after a day at the beach. We will be returning. Thank You.

Leading up to our time, Ramona was very quick to respond with questions we had. Additionally, the information sent before we arrived (code, info on trash, instructions for home, etc.) made our arrival all that more seamless. The house is in the perfect location and was very close to the Beach, restaurants … really everything. We rented a golf cart for the week and felt at the end we didn’t really need it as everything was so close. The house is well equipped, clean and very comfortable. The pool gets its best sun (in the pool) between 10:30 -1:30pm (in early Sept). Temp in pool was perfect. We are planning on booking this again next year!

Beautiful villa. First time in Anna Marie Island, such a beautiful place and people so friendly. Villa was superb. If you fly to Tampa, just get a taxi from the airport as you will not need your car if you are staying locally. There is a free bus trolley which is great. The beaches are superb, so white! Sunsets are out of this world. What more can I say!

Back again at Sapphire surf for our annual mother daughter trip. We love this house so much. It’s in a great location with a five minute walk beach access and in walking distance to restaurants. The house is comfortable, quaint, with everything you need. Our favorite part is the pool, it’s just soo relaxing. Mark & Ramona are great and easy to access with questions and updates. Will be back again next year for our annual trip.

Sapphire Surf was the perfect rental. Clean, well thought out, and the perfect location. The hosts have thought of everything! The kids enjoyed having the pool right in the shady back yard, and the beach was a short walk away. The outdoor shower in the backyard was perfect for rinsing off after walking back from the beach. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was great having a washer and dryer. My kids enjoyed all the beach toys, chairs, assorted balls and toys to play with, including some fun pool floats. The beach wagon was perfect for rolling the chairs, umbrellas, and cooler to the beach. The house was within walking distance to some stores and restaurants, but also away from the noisier streets. Rainy afternoons were perfect for watching a movie on the smart TVs or playing a game at the kitchen table. It was a wonderful stay! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with my family.

This property was wonderful! Owners have thought of everything you could need to make your vacation enjoyable. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much.

Adorable 2 bedroom home very close to the beach, shopping, dining and free island trolley. Private pool and all beach needs were available at the home well. All you need is your swimsuit and flip flops. We loved it here.

The house was impeccably furnished for our beach vacation, you can’t beat the location for beach access, Pine Street shops, fishing & sunsets. Another very memorable experience thanks to the Sapphire Surf.

Our stay at Sapphire Surf was outstanding. The house was the cleanest rental that I have ever stayed in. The kitchen was well appointed, as was the pool area. We enjoyed the lanai and the proximity to the beach. Owners were super responsive and put a lot of thought into making our stay enjoyable. Very relaxing vacation and I would definitely stay here again!

Our family of 4 had a great time exploring the island by bike and foot. Heated pool and screened in porch were great. House was comfortable and clean. Plenty of pool and beach equipment. I’d highly recommend this home for a family.

This home and property were a perfect fit for us. We love this area on the island so we can walk to restaurants and enjoy a short walk to the beautiful beach. This home was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. It met all of our expectations. We are looking forward to going back again next year!

This was our first trip to AMI - and won’t be our last! Sapphire Surf was the perfect place for the two of us to spend a week away from work and Midwest winter weather. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed and furniture, everything you could need in the kitchen, as well as toys and equipment for the beach and pool. It was a short walk to the beach, Pine Avenue and restaurants and shops on Gulf Drive. We rented bicycles from Beach Bum and explored the island on bikes as well as on foot. We walked to the beach every evening just to watch the amazing sunset! We enjoyed swimming in the beautiful, clean pool, reading and relaxing poolside as well as meals and games on the patio. We started every day with coffee and breakfast in the lovely lanai. AMI is just perfect for a relaxing, quiet vacation - and Sapphire Surf was the perfect place to stay! We couldn’t stop talking about our vacation to all our friends and family. We will definitely be back!
