Above it All: Rooftop Deck Gulf Views, Pool, 5 Homes to Beach by Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals

Had the most amazing stay! Loved the beautiful house! It was perfect for our family! One of the amenities we wanted was a hot tub and heated pool. We didn’t realize until we arrived that the pool and hot tub are heated by ambient air which left it unusable for most our week with temperatures in the 50–60s. Big disappointment and the reason for only four stars.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The beach access was amazing and so close. Easy walk to restaurants and coffee. The management team was super responsive to all of our needs. Would definitely stay again.

Great house, very clean with all the right amenities. Anna Maria Life was an excellent host. They went the extra mile. I had a package arrive a day early and they went and picked it up for me and held it until we arrived. Will definitely look to Anna Maria Life the next time we visit AMI.

We had a wonderful two week stay at Above It All! The home was perfect for our group of two families! It was extremely clean, comfortable, and had so many extras that made our stay more convenient. The outside area is amazing and we found that we used it much more than any other home we have rented. The rooftop deck was the perfect place to watch a beautiful sunrise or catch the sunset if we weren't on the beach. It is a super short walk to the beach and the wagon and chairs were so nice to use. We would highly recommend staying at Above It All!

This house is beautiful, and is the most extensively furnished property we've ever stayed in, with not one but two full sets of matching dishes, two blocks of cutlery that were actually sharp, and all the pots, pans, and other cookware you could want. The house is very nicely furnished, beds are comfortable, and pool was always warm. The host, Anna Maria Life, were extremely easy to work with, and provided excellent communication. We've been coming to Anna Maria for 8 years, and this is the best house and best rental company we've ever worked with.

This is a fabulous property. It is in tremendous condition with all the facilities one could require - everything was very smooth including booking and check-in.It is reallynear the beach where we went every day. The beach itself was lovely and clean. The pool at the house was also lovely, very warm with a hot tub attached.This is a great venue and we would certainly go again.

House was perfect for our group!

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!
