The beach home was large and clean enough for a rental, but there were some big issues. One AC unit was out so for 3 nights/days, the downstairs of the home was 82 degrees. One fan was broken so she did have someone buy us two new fans. The owner did take care of putting in a new AC unit but we really expected some compensation to get a hotel for one of the nights that it was unbearable. She said she would give us $250 towards a hotel for four of us. She expected four of us to sleep together in one hotel room, which we couldn’t do with grandparents and two teenage granddaughters. After the AC was fixed, another issue of a water leak due to a clogged shower drain because it wasn’t cleaned properly. She tried to say we overflowed the shower, which we stopped the shower before the water ran over the edge. The water caused a ceiling leak downstairs under the bathroom. Owner said we shouldn’t have let the water run kver, which we didn’t, and we have pictures to prove this. Again, owner was good about getting someone out to inspect, but my son in law already fixed the drain.(filthy by the way) and we have pictures. Owner offered no compensation for the inconvenience and at paying almost $2000/night for the week, that sure would have been an appropriate and kind thing to do for renters who took great care of the property during our stay.

For the space and location I would rate this property 5-stars. There were a few unexpected issues that came up but the owner addressed them in a kind and timely manner. Would have liked a little more backyard space for our large group but would have had to give up pool space 😕 We would definitely rent from this owner again!

This house was perfect for our first visit to Anna Maria Island. We spent our week bouncing between the beach and the pool. We were close to plenty of food and shopping, too! The owners have put a lot of thought into their rental…plenty of beach toys, items for kids such as a booster seat for the table, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious meal. We will absolutely stay here again if we come back to AMI. :)

The location of this villa is perfect, one block from the beach and right onto the canal from the back yard. We hired kayaks and Paddleboards which we loved having the easy access. Communication with Nancy was very good, always responded very quickly to any question I had! We would return in a heartbeat

Loved this home. Hugh backyard where you could enjoy either the sunshine or shade. Excellent location ! Close to the beach and on the canal.

We absolutely loved the property the pool was amazing and the kitchen was well equipped it was nice and close to the beach and wagons were provided to haul chairs etc.

We had 5 of our toddler grandchildren and most of their parents for a week. Perfect spot. Lots of room, big kitchen, very close to the beach. Nicely kept home. Very helpful host. Perfect place to get our family together. Would book this one again.

Really enjoyed our stay, lotsa space for 5. Great place, close to the beach, backyard was wonderful and private. Hopefully we’ll be back someday!

Amazing experience with both the house and communication with the hostess. The pool was warm which hasn’t been our experience all the other times we’ve come to Florida, and so it got lots of use. We also loved having a back yard for the kids to run in. The pool is only a few steps from the back door which we didn’t realize by seeing the map, so if you have small kids you might want to consider that. There is a fence but our toddlers figured that our quickly and could open it. We did end up using the pool alarm that alerts us if anyone got in the water so thankful for that! We’d definitely stay here again

The house was perfect for our group, with more than enough space for everyone to spread out, or be together. It is close to the free trolley and close access to the beach.

Wow! Beautiful home and outdoor area! Couldn’t have been better. Fishing off the dock, caught a few fish including flounder. Brought our own paddle boards and went into Bimini Bay for daily relaxing trips, saw dolphins and a manatee! Easy walk to the beach, beautiful pool and spa area to relax and let the kids play. Adults enjoyed the spa every night after the kiddos were tucked in bed. Comfortable sleeping arrangements for the whole family. We made all our meals at the house, never ate out. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and grills were large and worked well! Nancy thought of everything! We had great check in and check out instruction making the whole process very easy. Wonderful family memories where made, would love to return again!

We loved our stay at Sirenia By the Sea and had a wonderful time. The owner, Nancy, provided very helpful information about AMI when we were planning our trip and was easy to get in touch with before and during the trip. The house itself was in a great location-close to the beach, close to Pine St. and on a canal. The house was in good shape, was very clean, and was very well stocked with items that you would need for your stay there. The pool and spa were wonderful and the lush palm trees and landscaping provided privacy. We enjoyed our time there and would love to return in the future.

We had a great time at Serenia by the Sea. It was perfect for our extended family as we all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms as well as enough communal space. The backyard was great with the private pool and hot tub. We also enjoyed being able to walk to local restaurants and shops. Loved it!

This was a great house for our mix of family and friends. We were there for two weeks and we would love to have stayed longer. There many "pros" to this home. The two seperate seating / TV areas were great since we were not always on the same page as to what to watch or do at night. A bathroom for every bedroom was great for privacy for our mixed family / friends group.The location is ideal. You are at the beach in about 2 minutes walking. Also great because you can walk to so many restaurants, bars and shops easily. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. That includes small appliances.There is a "bonus room" off the kitchen on the front of the house that was once the garage that they have opened up and it holds everything from a ping-pong table to 2 sets of washers and dryers, an extra refrigerator and plenty of space for your extras suitcases, extra food, coolers, beach toys, bikes...Beds are comfortable and there was plenty of space for those that still had to work to spread out and have some privacy.The backyard is great and we found ourselves there both day and night. Pool was heated to a perfect temperature which we have found is not always the case in rentals. The home was truly charming. It is not one of the newest houses on the island but it is well-maintained and up-to-date. As always, Anna Maria was beautiful. Because of Covid and many people needing to get away from the cold it was more crowded on the island then it usually is in February. Nancy, the owner, was responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. I would definitely recommend this house!

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The location was great, the house was spacious and clean, had everything, pool, hot tub, on a channel and about a block to the beach.

Great home returning without a doubt might be a little dated in areas but beds were super comfortable home extra clean Pool was tiny most pools on the island are Oh backyard patio along canal was spectacular I feel like fishing and kayaking. Thank you Nancy you run a good operation

We had a very enjoyable week at Sirenia by the Sea! All accommodation aspects were as described in the listing. The location was wonderful! Far enough in off the main road to be quiet but still close to the beach access and the main hub of activity of Pine street to be able to walk to many of the diners and shops. Would definitely recommend for families!

The house is in a wonderful location that is close to everything. The layout was perfect for our family. We had an 87 old who stayed in the downstairs queen bedroom with its own bathroom with a walk-in shower and a door going out to the pool/patio. That queen bedroom also had separate heat/air so we were able to keep that room warmer for him which was so helpful. The only thing that would have made that area better would be to add some grab bars by the toilet and in the shower bc this is a great room for in-laws/handicap/elderly and I'm sure there are plenty who visit who would be aided by those inexpensive additions. Also on the first floor is a large master with attached bath. In the same end of the house as the master, there is a twin bedroom which uses the hall bath with a walk in shower (the only complaint is that you have to get wet to turn on the shower in that bath; a handheld would be a good replacement as you could hold it while you turn on the shower so you don't get wet). This part of the house is great for a couple with children. Upstairs there is another master bedroom with its own bath and walk-in shower. Also upstairs is a bedroom with 2 twin beds, attached bath with tub, and door going to a balcony overlooking the pool. There is also an office area with a sleeper sofa and sauna upstairs. The upstairs is another great area for a couple with kids. The house is great for multiple families- perfect for a family reunion or vacation with multiple families. The pool area with hot tub, tiki bar, hammock, and the canal was unbeatable. The canal feature of the home was the main reason we stayed and we are so glad that we opted for a canal house. Someone was fishing or kayaking the whole time we were there. We almost chose one of the newer homes with more stylish flair bc there were some that were so nice for about the same price. While this house is a little older, it has all the bells and whistles and lots of space for everyone! This lives like a ranch with an upstairs which was great and made things easier for our family. Beach is very short walk. One warning: the dock needs a new ladder so be careful getting in kayaks if you rent them. My daughter cut her leg wooden rung on the ladder broke. We used the metal ladder in the garage to get into the kayaks and took it out after each use; it was otherwise impossible to get in the kayaks as the barnacles/shells are like razors- be careful. Overall 5 stars. My family had a WONDERFUL TIME!

We’ve rented many homes through VRBO for our bi-annual family Christmas trips over the past 20 years. I have to say that Sirenia By The Sea was one of our best choices. The property is super close to the beach, on a canal which allows for kayaking and paddle boarding, and a short walk to shopping and dining. Due to COVID we didn’t do a lot of excursions but we rented scooters and a golf cart to explore the island. Staying in our “bubble” was super easy in this house. There was enough room for a party of 9 to spread out and find their own space. The kitchen space was ample enough for multiple cooks, the table and chairs out by the canal were a relaxing space for catching the last of the days rays, and the two sets of washers and dryers made keeping up with laundry a breeze. Nancy sent multiple emails pre-trip with lots of information about the house and area. We took her advice and visited the Starfish market for fresh fish and oysters!! Not only was it delicious but they were also reasonably priced!! All in all, it was a great week with family made even better by staying in a beautiful, accommodating home.

We loved staying here! House was clean and had everything we needed. We loved all of the beach equipment and wagon to haul it with. Beach was just a short 4 min walk from the house. Pool/hottub were great! Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed being able to spread out as the house was large. Our kids were easily able to do virtual schooling with the house wifi. Over-all great experience.

We loved our time here! Plenty of space to spread out during day but also gather for meals or movie watching at night. Close to beach with a wagon to wheel chairs & toys down.Host is super-responsive to any questions - but also gives a very organized set of information in advance of your stay/at property.

We had an awesome time at this rental. Nancy did a great job with supplying us with all the information we needed to enjoy this island. She was such a pleasure to work with. We stayed with extended family and all of us felt we had our own privacy in the house. The house had everything you need and more. We rented bikes for the week but a lot of things in walking distance. We spent most of our days in the outdoor oasis swimming and fishing and our nights doing ping pong tournaments. I would definitely stay here again.

This home is not only beautiful and very spacious on the inside, but it also has the perfect location. It’s a 5 minute walk to an amazing white sandy beach. The sunsets were just spectacular. Restaurants, bars, shopping all very close. There were 11 of us ranging in ages from 7 years old to 56. There was enough space for everyone to spread out inside and outside of the house. The kids especially loved the pool and we couldn’t get them out of the hottub. Early morning and evenings sitting on the Adirondack chairs by the canal were so peaceful and relaxing. The fish jumping out of the water were very entertaining. The backyard is an oasis. Nancy was a great host. Very knowledgeable and quick to respond. We can’t wait to go back.

we loved this house and how close it was to the beach and the free shuttle. lots of room for everyone to spread out and we really enjoyed the pool and the spa. added plus that we got to use the Center for the gym and tennis courts for free! nancy and terri were communicative and responsive. we would definitely come back to sirenia by the sea

Beautiful house, bedrooms are lovely, well appointed kitchen, plenty of bathrooms and excellent location. The backyard is a little bit of paradise. We had 8 adults and one child, spent one week and were completely satisfied!

Just returned from Anna Maria Island, Florida. Had a wonderful time, in general, and truly enjoyed our family outing (11 persons total) at Serenia By The Sea. Owners Nancy and Terri were very easy to work with and we even at the chance to meet Nancy in person. We highly recommend it.

This property is perfect for our large family summer vacation. Sirenia By the Sea is so well stocked and equipped it makes packing for a week simple and easy. The house has 2 refrigerates, 2 cloths washers and 2 dryers to keep our clothes and beach towels fresh and clean. Nancy and Teri supply all the beach "stuff" so we can pack even lighter. The property sits on the canal so the guys could fish as much as they want. If you really want to know how good this property is, just look at the number of repeat families they get. If you don't like the house they don't re-book it several years in a row. AMI is so nice to vacation on, the beaches are beautiful, the Gulf is perfect and it has a good mix of quiet and active. We can't wait to return.

We loved the backyard! We spent lots of time by the pool and the canal fishing and kayaking. The house was spacious and perfect for our group of 10. We hope to visit again. AMI was just what we needed to relax and make some great family memories!

For us, the house was a perfect location: close to great beach, on a canal for paddle boarding and fishing, good pool and hot tub. I was impressed by how well appointed the kitchen was: good pots and pans and lots of tools for the chefs. Having two washers and dryers was very convenient...we used lots of beach towels. The cart was a life saver as were all the beach "tools," umbrellas, chairs, etc. We love cooking evening meals and sitting around the table for hours. The house provided everything we needed. The dining room table was perfect for our family of 12. Having two living rooms worked out great for us: one for tv watching, one of working our annual 1,000 piece puzzle. The house location is great. We were not far from Publix and the Sand Bar....two of our reoccurring stops. The bedrooms, being of such variety of size, posed a little problem. With 4 boys sleeping upstairs, we experienced some noise in the the bedroom by the pool. Also, adding some privacy shades to the patio doors adjacent to that bedroom would be nice. The owners were very responsive to all our questions and needs. They helped make our arrival and departure smooth. We would consider returning to Sirenia By The Sea. It was a great experience.

We stayed at Sirenia with my husband's family and loved that there were two separate master bedrooms on two different levels. The second floor master and bedroom with two twins was a perfect fit for our family and allowed my in-laws to have the first floor. This way we had a little separation, which was nice! The home had two sets of washer/dryers, and while doing laundry really isn't first priority on a vacation, with a group our size, it was nice to have two sets so we could freshen up towels easily. Our kids loved the pool - they keep the temperature warm, which we all loved! The kitchen was well appointed for a rental home. I like to cook, even on vacation, so I would have loved sharper knives, but they were consistent with what we have found in other rentals! Plus, they had a second refrigerator in the garage area, which was great for more space for cooling extra beverages. The house is a short walk to the beach, which was really nice since it felt like we needed take every possible chair and beach toy every time we went!

We just got back from our third visit to Sirenia by the Sea, and once again it was superb! We had a party of 11, so the large spacious house was perfect for our clan. We also have an individual with physical disabilities, so having a master bedroom and living areas on the main floor was a huge plus. The location is great - 1-1/2 blocks from the beach and a short walk to Pine Ave. But who needs the beach with a pool area like this one! We got sun every day we were there, and the layout of the back yard means there is always a place to get a tan. I would heartily recommend Sirenia by the Sea to anyone with a large group.

Sirenia By The Sea is about the best location you can hope for on AMI. The canal in back made for easy access to Kayak or load up the wagon for a short walk to the beach. My seven year old granddaughter wasn't this excited on Xmas when she was checking out each bedroom and the pool/spa in back. Plenty of towels are offered and a starter supply of essentials (TP, paper towels etc.) but be aware like most rentals you will need to pretty much supply everything other than salt and pepper that we found. I advise to bring some of your small spices from home if you plan on cooking in very much. We would definately go back to Sirenia By The Sea when we have a large group.
