My husband and I (and our adorable Goldendoodle) live in the main house. We are therefore always available to answer any questions you may have. But we also will respect your privacy. As long as you are happy, then we are happy!
The guest house is brand new and has never been rented prior to February 2023. Any reviews prior to this date were for the main house which was previously rented.
This home met all my expectations. Spacious. Clean. Provided many necessities (really nice touch) and greeted with a delicious surprise ? Pool area was a Tropical paradise. Only downsides to the home were the beds and the cooling of the bedrooms. Seriously all the beds could use replacing. We all felt like we were sleeping in shallow holes. I feel purchasing new beds would make this rental over the top! A/C freezes living area but doesn't cool bedrooms and baths *but they did have a fan for our use, and could use another one OR look into running bigger air ducts and adding return vents in bedrooms would help tremendously. Truly a great place but those 2 things (beds and hot rooms) could be a deal breaker for some.
I cannot say enough amazing things about this property! We were able to paddleboard off the dock and out to the bay in minutes, caught catfish, snapper, and snook right off the dock, enjoyed the sunsets every night, and swimming in the pool. Nicky was an amazing host and we are already planning our next stay!
This vacation was amazing! Nicky and Robert were absolutely wonderful. They were so kind and responded immediately to any questions we had. The house was immaculate and no detail was overlooked! My husband and I vacationed with our 5 yr old and 3 yr old. We spent the majority of our time in the beautiful backyard! The pool is huge! (There is a gate at the top of the stairs leading to the pool as well as a gate at the bottom for anyone with small children worried about pool safety. My children could not open the gates without our help.) The house as I said was immaculate and had everything we needed! Kitchen supplies, water toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, everything! The beds were super comfy! We were a quick walk to the beach as well as Pine Avenue with all of the neat shops and restaurants! The house is very close to Bean Point - be sure to spend an evening there to watch the sunset! One of our favorite restaurants is about a 15-20 minute drive from the house. It is called Star Fish Company, and the fried scallops are incredible! Worth the short drive! We can’t say enough good things about this house and the owners! We made wonderful memories and hope to return again!
Amazing as always it’s the 4th time we have stayed in this house can’t beat it!
Located on a canal with fishing off the private dock, private pool and yard well-screened from the neighbors. Nicky and Bob are wonderful hosts, always ready to answer questions, and the property was spotlessly clean. It’s bright, cheery, and comfortable. There wasn’t a thing we lacked. We highly recommend this property. You won’t be disappointed.
Our first trip to Anna Maria and we struck gold. An outstanding property in an outstanding location. Would happily recommend this location and property to anyone.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay!! Great pool and a close walk to the beach. We hope to come back soon!
The location was great... very quiet and we could walk to almost everything (except the grocery store; therefore, having a car or golf cart is nice). The house itself had EVERYTHING we needed. Seriously. There was nothing we wanted that we couldn't find:) The only thing that would have made our stay better (there's always something. lol) would be more supportive beds. The beds were too soft for our liking, but we know some people like them that way. One last thing... the owners are super! We had two specific requests and they accommodated those requests perfectly. Definitely a wonderful place to stay in AMI.
This was an excellent oasis in a otherwise busy holiday area. Being in walking distance to almost everything it was a opportunity to unwind. The home was immaculate and the owners were there to meet us to answer an initial questions. Nicky was always there by text for questions/recommendations. Word of advice, grocery shop before you get to AMI, there are several stores on the way in. Also, depending on the time of year you may want to discuss having the pool heated.
We stayed in this beautiful home the first week of November, there were 4 of us. The house has everything you require and is so clean. The gardens and pool are lovely, and my husband and son enjoyed fishing off the deck on the canal. The location is great you can walk to the beach, shops and restaurants that are in the area, it is so peaceful too. Nicky was a great host from start to finish, thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house.
