We had 9 people staying in the house. My family of 4 with two children (5 and 7). The bunk room was perfect for them. My brothers family of 3 with one child (15) and my parents. We had plenty of space. The living, dining and kitchen space was great for hanging out. The outdoor space was awesome. The pool and sitting area with the TV was a favorite spot. We grilled a couple nights. There was no grill brush to clean it before we used it (that would have been nice) so we had to heat it up for awhile and scrape with other grill utensils. Also no oven mits so that made cooking a bit interesting. We just used the 2 kitchen towels provided. The middle bedroom on the main floor TV did not work. The wagon in the garage to take the beach stuff down was awesome to have. There were 4 umbrellas and we ended up only using 2. We tried to use one of the smaller ones and it was broken. We didn’t realize it was broken until we had gotten it down to the beach and tried to set it up so that was a little frustrating. Overall, we loved the trip but those little things fixed for the next crew would help make everything a little more convenient.

Above It All was an exceptional choice for our family of 8, which included 3 children. It is a short walk to the beach which was one of our criteria. The pool and hot tub area are very nice and we used them often. Although taking multiple suitcases up one or two flights of stairs was a lot, we felt it was safer with children, as their access to the pool took more time. The alarm took some getting used to, but, again, a good safety feature. The house is decorated impeccably with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cooking needs. Everything was clean and in working order. We LOVED the rooftop deck! The area was fairly quiet and well-maintained. My only suggestion would be to have some extra amenities, i.e. pool noodles, coolers/thermal cups for the beach, salt and pepper, extra dishcloths, and dish towels. We have stayed in other homes that provided these things, so maybe we are a little "spoiled". I realize there is a risk of items "walking off" but I think that risk is low for a house in this price range. That said, we would definitely stay at Above It All again! Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one!

What a fantastic house ! We had our whole family together . Perfect set up . Every couple had a king bed & their own bathroom . My grandsons loved the bunk beds ! Outdoor area was great . We ate outside every night in the outdoor kitchen . Nice bar area & 6 person table . Pool was salt water & lovely temp . We will return for sure .

We have been coming to the island for 10 years and we have stayed at Above it All the past 2 of our 3 trips. We have traveled with 6 people and we have traveled with 10, and have had plenty of space. One of our favorite homes! The views from the rooftop deck are amazing, the home is in a quiet area and has everything needed. The kitchen is well stocked! Extremely clean, and the outdoor pool space is by far our favorite part, even with the more shaded pool, it is a much needed break from the beach, with it being just steps away. The pool table is a hit with our family of 6, we spend most of our time, between the beach and the pool area! You'll never want to leave! AMLV answered our every call, fixed a few toilets quickly, that needed new chains in the tanks! We will be back!

Wonderful location close to beach and perfect for family.

Walking through those entryway doors knocked our socks off! We felt like movie stars immediately! And i never expected to love being in Florida in August, but the outdoor spaces were so amazing that I spent most of my time there: early morning coffee on the roof and stargazing at night, pool and beach swimming during the day (pool at night, too), and a big screen tv by the pool with a breeze for late night movie watching, too! This place was paradise! Totally unexpected! I was shocked by the gulf view from the rooftop, too--- the pictures don't do it justice--- the house is close and you see a lot of the big gulf! Breath-taking! The house is the best on the island, I'm sure, and the street is private and the gulf access is easy. This place is fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay… Location was excellent and the amenities were fabulous

Love Anna Maria island! The only thing I’d change about the house is I wish the pool was refreshing however it was a really hot week, we maybe should have thrown ice in. Also I didn’t know the pool was completely shaded, we would have liked to hang there more but it had no sun. Overall beautiful property and a wonderful trip!
