I am not one to complain and can navigate when things aren't as expected, so it pains me to have to say, this was one of the worst vacation rentals we have stayed at. When I read previous reviews of this location and saw comments about the kitchen and lack of essentials, I thought, it surely isn't that bad. Considering this rental can accommodate a larger group/family, being able to cook in the kitchen is essential. When reviews repeatedly say, the rental lacks essentials. Perhaps, take that seriously or inquire on specifics. We did not have one single spoon to use, enough towels for our family to use once, one washcloth, one dishcloth, and enough laundry soap to do one load of laundry, which means towels can be used once and you have to do a load of laundry. And for larger crowds/families, we used all the towels provided in one day. Every dish we pulled out of the cabinets were dirty and now I know why. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes. We ended up doing all the dishes by hand. The porch swing is broken, no seating downstairs for grilling out, and no consideration of possible mosquito repellant options. There was a lack of so many things for larger groups/families, it's to much to list. This property certainly needs some TLC and more thought into the amenities that make a vacation rental more user friendly for larger groups/families. The one redeeming quality was the physical location on the island. An easy walk to the beach and central to everything! Even though it was close to the main street, we didn't really mind that and enjoyed watching everyone out and about in the mornings. Overall, there are definitely better options to stay on AMI.

The internet was not working and there was not of eating utensils or dishes to use. Other than that it was great!

The home served our purpose for a quick trip to a relative's destination wedding. The first floor and utility room (washer, dryer, beach chairs) were musty smelling. The second floor was clean but a bit worn. The side street is busy, a porch fan squeaked at night - I couldn't figure out where it came from until our last day - and the internet was slow. The reps from Vacasa were polite and responsive. Beach access was very close.

The home itself is cute on the main floor, sort of slapstick construction but it is a beach town. The lower level is, frankly, gross. The bathroom is nasty and it's just poorly maintained. The WiFi never worked the whole week, the dishwasher as well, and the patio was dirty and had ants, and we didn't have any bedding for the pullout beds. I called MULTIPLE times, nobody ever helped us. Location is good, Vacasa is a real disappointment for over 3,000.00 a week

Pros: 5 minute walk to beach, central location, nice house. Having 2 sleeping areas was nice for multiple families. Stairs were not at steep as other reviews seemed to suggest. Cons: 1. The beds available were not as described. The listings are different on both VRBO and Vacasa’s app and neither are correct. There are actually 1 king, 1 double with a pull out couch, and 1 single size day bed and a single bed. (See 2.) 2. I tried to contact Vacasa about the bed situation and they said they would “get back to me” and never did. 3. We were never sent lock box codes at check in and had to call them to get into the house. A few suggestions for the owner: 1. Pillows are all very flat, it would be nice to have a few firmer pillows to use. 2. Knives are exceedingly dull. Either new knives or a sharpener would be nice. 3. It would be really helpful for young families to have a high chair or booster seat available for use.

Loved the location! Living room and kitchen very spacious. Great front porch. Downstairs unit was convenient for separate travelers

Nice accommodations although did not realize one of the bedrooms was downstairs and had a separate entrance but a very nice room. Close to beach

For some reason, Vacasa was somehow involved with this rental. After we left I refuse the casa and apparently they are one star out of five stars for over 500 reviews. I didn't have a stove, I bought $150 of groceries, we didn't have internet, I missed several hours of work, I found three roaches and a massive ants, the downstairs unit had extremely high odors due to painting and could not use it. The coffee canter was hidden finally found it. They tried moving us twice as far from the beach on day three but by that time we are already settled in and it was really a very sterile relocation. I'm pretty sure not giving somebody an oven or Internet in their rental if they advertise they have an oven and internet in a rental I'm pretty sure that's illegal

Just perfect for our trip. Close to the beach, easy walk and nice accommodations. Would stay here again.

Lovely place. Clean and comfortable. Family loved it

We had a great time at this house, close to the beach!

First time in this part of Florida and it was great! Easy flight into Tampa from DFW (impressive airport in Tampa). Very comfy place and convenient to a beautiful beach about a 5 minute walk. Had some initial issues with a/c and tv but quickly addressed. Wi-Fi slow and couldn’t get it to work last two days but no worries. Cooked a number of meals in and they could use a few more kitchen utensils but you can make it work. Very comfy and relaxing trip! Thanks!

This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island but it won’t be our last. There were 4 adults in our group and the accommodations were perfect. The lower suite provided space for each couple. We rented a golf cart (Roadrunner) which is walking distance from the condo. We also enjoyed kayaking, swimming in the ocean with horses and the local restaurants (The Blue Marlin was delicious). The Ugly Grouper was super fun. The island is safe, clean and the residents are very helpful and friendly. Thank you and we will see you again soon😊

The location was super! Just a short walk to a beautiful white-sand beach.

Great place to vacation!

The house is gorgeous just like the pictures, short walk to the amazing beach! Please note that there is a steep staircase to the residence, this can be difficult for older or disabled people, we did not see this in any of the photos!

All great except for the trafic in the morning.

Location was great. Parking was good too. The house looked great but was lacking essentials. We had no phone or internet for the duration, we informed the manager the first day. Unit was lacking teaspoons and any sheets and pillows for the sofa beds. Mattresses need to be replaced. All were broken down and older spring mattresses.

Great house Clean and tidy Exactly how it was described Only draw back was it was right next to the main road so it was a little loud

The home was very nicely decorated and clean and bright. However the STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS!! Please show photo when advertising this unit. It really should not be rented to the older vacationers. Or ones with young children. The lower bedroom needs a rack or hooks to hang up clothes!! The location is noisy but other than these issues it was nice.

Close to the beach, clean, and comfortable. My only complaint was the internet. Less than 1mbps was like dialup

The little apartment room was perfect for our bigger kids. They had an escape! The house was so cute and perfect for our stay. Just a little walk to the beach. It was so so quaint and perfect. Plenty of beach towels and It had beach toys and chairs and the alligator floaty was a favorite for our girls. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would definitely stay here again

It was amazing until the cockroaches showed up

Easy and convenient to the beach and shops Would give five stars but the road noise is loud. That being said it is fairly priced. Enjoyed our stay!

We just loved our vacation at Anna Maria Island! The house that we rented was just great and very spacious. The vicinity to the beach (just a short walk) and the privacy of the location made our stay very enjoyable. We would certainly recommend this facility to our friends. Very satisfied!

Unfortunately, we arrived after traveling from out of state and were told we could not check in due to termites in the house. We were also told no other accommodations could be provided for us, thus leaving us potentially stranded. After a strong discussion, the property agreed to let us stay for our visit. The house is very cute and spacious. However, the kitchen was ill equipped missing basic things such as measuring cups, water cups (lots of wine glasses and coffee cups but only 4 regular cups) and other basics. It’s close to the beach but on a busy and loud street corner. The Wi fi isn’t great. So, we had a great trip and loved AMI but wouldn’t stay here again.

We called the manager a lot of time about our broken stoven and they didn’t fixed the problem. With internet was a same.

The stairway is constructed in an unusual fashion. The last three feet are like walking into a closet, and there is no hand rail on the upper section. As previously noted, the upstairs part of the house is mostly good, but the downstairs leaves much to be desired. There is no closet, the bathroom has a pedestal sink and almost no space for toiletries. The blinds had missing slats and did not work properly. The window air conditioner was annoyingly loud and the mostly glass walls let in a lot of traffic noise. The barbecue grill had one leg propped up with a piece of wood and the insides were rusty.
