“Amazing Oceanview Pool Home and Perfect Location On Anna Maria Island” Let me first say that Mark (the home owner) exceeded any and all expectations for our 15th wedding Anniversary! We booked last minute and when we wanted to stay an additional day Mark rescheduled planned maintenance in order to accommodate us. When we arrived there were fresh flowers, wine, cookies, music and a Anniversary Cake for us! The Beautiful ocean view pool home is in a perfect location on Anna Maria Island and equipped with everything you will need: floats for the pool, anything you would need to take to beach across the street, bikes to explore the island, a large kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook, very comfortable beds and spacious rooms, fresh orchids throughout the home, library of DVD's and books, and I could just keep going...make sure you take the bikes and explore - go to the Museum, to bean point, have fresh grouper sandwich at the Rod and Reel Pier, ride down to Two Scoops for an ice cream and take a walk on the City Pier, on Fridays at 12:30 you can pick up amazing fresh bread at Olive Oil Outpost with some other goodies, go have a custom snack at the Donut Experiment, A drink at the Sandbar Rest., Lunch or Dinner at the Waterfront is amazing, and more all a short bike ride away. All my wife and I can say is what a wonderful week and we will be back for sure!

“Absolutely beautiful!” Everything was perfect. Enjoyed coffee on the beach every morning and beautiful sunsets every evening. Can't wait to go back next year!

“Amazing!” This house has it all and a perfect location makes it an even more wonderful place to vacation. We hope to be back soon!

“Home away from home” This place is an incredible value. It's spacious and comfortable, and we felt right at home. Sarasota Bay is just steps from the back patio, and it's so lovely to sit outside and watch water--so many fish, dolphins, and birds right there. Everything was in good working order and clean upon our arrival. The beach is a quick walk across the street from the complex, and we spent a lot of time at the heated pool. We would love to rent this unit again! PERFECT LOCATION.

“Best rental, best hosts -- hands down!” I booked this rental with the intention of relaxing on the beach, soaking up the sun and hanging out with family for just over a week. Hurricane Irma had other plans, and we had to cut our vacation short. But I cannot overemphasize how gracious Kent and Pa were as hosts. Because of them--and because of how great their property is--we had such a great time before we had to evacuate. And Kent went above and beyond to make sure we had the most up-to-date weather forecasts, so that instead of watching sometimes sensationalized TV reporting we could maximize our shortened vacation with peace of mind and still safely make it off the island and eventually out of Florida with my disabled father and baby daughter. Even after the evacuation, Kent and Pa continued to check up on us and processed a refund without hesitation for the days we were evacuated. Those particular circumstances hopefully will never be applicable to anyone else, so let me say a few things about the property itself. It is AWESOME! The pool area is the best I've ever experienced, and the house is so spacious you never feel on top of one another. It's also walking distance from just about everything you could want on AMI (with immediate vicinity to the trolley stop), but landscaped so beautifully that you feel like you're on your own private island. I echo other reviews that there is a temptation not to rave about it, because you really want it all to yourself. I mean, where else could you actually deal with fleeing from a hurricane and still want to go back the first chance you get?! We can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise. We'd been to Anna Maria Island before at a bed and breakfast, and had a great time then too, but nothing can beat this rental. Wishing Kent and Pa all the best with the cleanup and repairs in the wake of Irma. I have no doubt they will restore it to the same pristine condition it existed when I checked in, because it is so obvious how much they truly care for this fantastic property.

“Rain” The house was adorable. It was well stocked considering we couldn't go out due to the rain. It is close to the beach,just a short walk.

“Absolutely Perfect---one Kodak sunset after another” This townhome was gorgeous! We totally enjoyed our 3 week stay and hated to leave. Kelley (owner) could have not been more helpful. We fished off the dock and enjoyed watching the birds fish then dry their wings. Town is a short, enjoyable jaunt. Just a few blocks further are the most gorgeous beaches with sand like flour! If you are adventureous, walk to Point of Rocks at beach access 13 for the best shelling ever (only at very low tide)!!! We would come back in a heartbeat. The views from the lanai and upstairs balcony were awesome. Townhome was beautifully maintained and fully stocked. Thanks to Kelley and her daughter for a never-to-be-forgotten vacation.
