This place is worth it for its location. When it says 100 steps from the beach, it feels like you’re even closer. We love the quietness of the street. The house could use a few more standard cleaning supplies for your stay, especially a mop. We did encounter a few minor issues with trash underneath the beds that was missed from previous renters and the floors were just not clean and needed to be mopped. Overall, it is a wonderful house, the swimming pool was a private oasis to spend those heated afternoons cooling off in the swimming pool. We would definitely recommend this home to someone and would enjoy to stay there again.

The house was in the perfect location, a minute walk to the beach. We had some minor issues when we were there, but when I called the property management company they came over within 30 minutes to fix the issues. The pool was a little smaller than we expected, however it was still very nice. Our kids loved the game room and spent a lot of time down there when we weren’t at the beach. My only recommendation is to throw away the broken beach equipment and invest in new chairs, coolers and umbrellas. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a couple of quirky maintenance things that will be repaired before my next visit I’m sure! Did have a mosquito/no see em issue outside that persisted the whole trip.

We had a Great time. The only concern was about the water faucet dial in the master bedroom. It was repaired the next day. The accommodations were very good!

Location was perfect! House was cute, clean, and stocked with anything we needed for cooking and beaching. The wading pool / hot tub went mostly unused for our crew. Would definitely recommend!

The overall space was great and we loved how close it was to the beach! Kitchen, living room and bedding were extremely clean. And the house was well stocked with what you will need. I docked a star bc the check in process was a pain. Multiple codes didn't work and we had to call the office and try upwards of 10 times to get in the house. After we entered we found excess sand in some of the bedrooms, a few lightbulbs out, drawer handles missing, kitchen stool that seems to be broken, trash was not taken out on the pool deck, and the game room was really not usable bc it has no ac vent down there. All those things are small inconveniences, but added all up was the reason for 4 stars

We've been coming to AMI for over a decade now and it just gets better each time. This house is on a very quiet street just steps to the beautiful beach. We had our 2 adult children and their spouses and kids and we were very comfortable. Beds are super comfy. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. Management is super fast to respond, when we arrived the Propane tank to the grill was empty and within 20 minutes we had a new one delivered. Overall the Best vacation and accommodations. This next comment is completely out of managements control and in no way effects my 5* Review of this property but I do want to warn future guests about parking. There is only room for 3 SUV or large vehicles in the driveway so if you have anymore cars you are going to have a very hard time parking. We had a Photographer come on Sunday to take beach photos and we had no room in our driveway so she had to park next door at a new home construction site(no workers were there on Sunday) and it was only for 30 min and we even put a note saying she was a photographer and was only going to be there for 30 minutes and she still got a ticket. So just beware as I've never seen the parking police be so strict and quick to hand out tickets.

The home is nice well decorated and in a great location. We showed up and the air conditioning had a leak and there’s water all over the front entrance. There was apparently a water issue on the lower level as well as there were stains on the ceiling and ceiling drywall laying on the sofa. The leaks were never properly cleaned, and there is some terrible smells of mildew. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets that weren’t even rinsed off trash laying around the house. To me, it looks like the management company doesn’t pay much attention and the cleaners do a terrible job.

We loved our stay! The house is so close to the beach. The house was beautiful and we also enjoyed the pool. There were so many little perks that really helped us out. Baby gates, beach chairs, pool toys and a beach wagon. My only critique is when you spend this amount of money, leaving an extra role of toilet paper in each bathroom would be expected. That was not the case.

Great property. Only issue was the pool level access room was not air conditioned and very dark. The dark blue color made us not want to use the room. The outdoor shower was not enclosed. It would be nice for privacy when coming back from the beach. Picture shows a brighter color for outdoor and pool level room, We would rent again. Had a great time.

The location was great . The bedrooms were good. The room downstairs gave us the room needed. That outdoor entertainment area was not so much. We could not get anything to work. How ever we are considering it for next year.

This house was perfect for our beach reunion of 3 couples. Just steps from the beach. Nice pool and spa. Easy walking to some local shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. The kitchen, dining, great room area is set up nicely for visiting, watching tv, and playing board games. Everyone enjoyed their stay and we hope to return again.

Beautiful place and great location. Will book through Anna Maria Life again!

We had the best week. Any issues were resolved quickly-our pool heater wasn’t working at first. The place had fabulous amenities. Our family loved the pool area and the outdoor dining. Plenty of toys to enjoy but would love to see the wagons replaced as the front wheels are broken and hard to use because of that.

Perfect location, wonderful home, easy and clear check in/out instructions! We would definitely book this property again and/or book through Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals. The only thing I recommend is to book chairs, tent, coolers and wagons early as there were none on property to use.

This vacation was all that we could have dreamed of. The house itself was perfect. There were a few cleaning issues that I didn’t address with the owners only because I know in todays world it’s hard to find people to work and the ones that are are busting butt. I would highly recommend this rental to families with kids of all ages.

Everything was wonderful! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need! The beds are comfy and the beach supplies are abundant! The very short walk to the beach was so easy on the very quiet street. No public parking allowed! This house was perfect for all of us!

Great house. Some cleaning issues were apparent when we checked in but small stuff. Fans were filthy and the pool area was pretty dirty. We had to clean both ourselves. Most of the house was very clean and the house overall is really nice. Large house and rooms are good size. The house is updated very nice for its age. The location of the house is great. It is a very short walk to the beach and the beach area near the house is very quite compared to other locations. The kitchen was very nice and there were plenty of towels, which can be rare in rentals. Overall a very good experience with the house and we have been renting on the island for 14 years. Only real problem was that the beach equipment which was advertised was very old and falling apart. The management did replace a wagon for us very fast.

This property was just what we were looking for!!! Plenty of space, quiet street, easily walkable to the beach. Lots of pool toys and canopy for the beach. The property management was very responsive and accommodating. We had such a wonderful time. Cannot wait to come back!

This home is in a great location...100 steps to the beach! A very quiet street that does not allow street parking. The house was well equipped with very nice towels and sheets. Plenty of beach towels. The kitchen was very well equipped. The only minor blip was that there was no owner's notebook. I had to really hunt to find the thermostat, experiment to figure out the TV remotes (finally figured it out), what is considered recyclables in Florida and a few other minor things. The day before we left I looked in the cabinet next to the sink to get a plastic bag. Lo and below there was a basket full of direction booklets on the upper shelf. I would never have seen this! The beach wagon has a wonky wheel and really needs to be replaced. Cheryl and Brian at Anna Maria Life Vacations were very nice, however I had to call to get the garage door code and an outdoor bulb I reported out in our first week was never replaced. Minor stuff.

Our first time to AMI, loved the northern location on the island.

We loved the house and location! Quiet neighborhood with great access to the beach. House was great for little ones at quiet time and still have others playing games and socializing. Great pool area for all!

Overall great stay, other than an issue with too many chemicals put in the pool on Thursday afternoon. Great location, comfortable beds and heated pool was used a lot. Areas for improvement: living room furniture was all very uncomfortable, would have been nice to have the garage code, better instructions for the pool alarm on the doors - we never figured it out!

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Marianne. The house was very nicely decorated with a beachy feel and well appointed. The location is perfect- truly a 1 minute walk to the beach! The house was spacious enough for our two families to stay together and the downstairs gameroom provided a great place for games, puzzles and watching football with the family on Sunday. The only comment I would have is to change up the door alarms to something that can be deactivated if you do not have young children with you. We had a wonderful week and would definitely stay again.

in my opinion 4pm check in and a 10am check out is a bit of a stretch. it cost me an extra day in a motel to accommodate the check in. Check out you should just have to leave, not do pre clean-up. I paid big money for you to do the entire clean up

Wonderful house is a great location!

Had a great week! Loved how close it was to the beach. Great island!

The size of the house and location was perfect for our family! Quick, easy access to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed and there was a good supply of beach chairs and gear. Only 2 negatives for our trip: The house was not very clean when we checked in - especially bathrooms. Also there were not enough pillows for our group and they were poor quality. Both of these issues are easily fixable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The accommodations were great for 8 people. Better pillows would be nice. Also, some basic house items to get us through a day or two like trash bags and some would have been good. Other than that, the place was great. We would definitely rent it again.

We really enjoyed the house and the close location to the beach. It had everything we needed and more.

Great place to stay. Close to the beach and other activities. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Lots of room for our group of 8 to spread out. Loved the pool area.Kitchen was well equipped.

This is our second year visiting AMI for spring break with our three young boys. We love the island and this was a great location. We loved that the house was on a road with hardly any traffic and we didn't have to cross any roads to get to the beach. It was a quick walk from the house to the beach so if we forgot anything or had to restock on snacks it was an easy trip to run back to the house. The pool and covered patio were great for relaxing in the evening as well as taking a break from the beach.
