Caribbean Surf managed by Beach Retreats FL Anna Maria Island

Our stay @ Carribean Surf was great. Everything at the property was well appointed and convenient. We'll definitely book again!

This duplex is ideal- esp if you rent bikes and enjoy island time instead of having to drive. And being in northern Holmes beach made it so simple to get what we needed from the tackle store, shops and both sides of the island. Walking to Holmes took minutes; biking to the AMI bay side was so good too- the pier is gone, but the island is still beautiful. We took a relaxing sailing jaunt with TipTop Sailing to Egmont island to explore - saw much wildlife. Def rent bikes and make sure the lights work; the house had everything but helpful to buy extra Pt, TP, zip lock baggies and tin foil if you are cooking. House even had beach chairs and umbrella which were so appreciated! Pool toys too. We visited Roser church and were delighted to hear a familiar voice (Pastor Dirk!) from our former church in NH sharing such an encouraging message of hope in a hurting world; our teens were glued in and so refreshed, on vaca too!

We had a lovely 5 night stay at the Caribbean Surf property. It was a super quaint beach house with everything we needed. It was well stocked in the kitchen which was important since we cooked several meals there. My husband used the outside grill as well, with great ease and success. It was a fairly short walk to the beach but was made easier by the wagon that was available. The only issue we had during the stay was that the pool was cleaned one day, then the very next day the lawn service team came and blew all the grass and lawn debris back in the pool. We contacted management, however, and it was rectified fairly quickly. It's a lovely home in a lovely location.

The house was clean and comfortable. Exactly as described. It is a bit of a walk to shopping on Pine St, but it has easy access to the beach, which makes it well worth it.

Kids loved the heated pool. Had some issues with the pump to heat pool, maintenance fixed it right away, but happened again.

We loved Anna Maria! But the place is not great. Let's start with what we DID like: The condo had a nice layout. The pool was great (after they cleaned out the green algae we called about). The location is the best thing for sure. The kitchen had everything we needed, and a great refrigerator. What we did NOT like: There were many rooms that had visible mold on the ceiling. The ac vents were constantly dripping and leaving wet spots on the floor. The washer/dryer is entirely too small for a family. It literally fits 3 beach towels and we had to run 3 or more loads a day. The master bedroom bed mattress is the worst I have ever slept on at a vrbo. It had valleys in the mattress. So I assume it is very old. I did not sleep good the whole trip.

We had a great time and loved the house. Have rebooked for 2025.

Before we arrived we looked on google earth and saw the foilage was overgrown. When asked management co. They said there is sun on north part of pool. That area is in the woodchips and cant lounge. Picture shown IS DECEIVING. Grabbed chairs for beach and they were filled with food and garbage from whoever used them last. Went to put clothes in closet and a dirty high chair was filled with crusty food. Frig made loud cranking noise more and more each day. Mold on ceiling in primary bath. Home was dirty and had to wash stuff before we used it. Home location is awesome but definitely not well maintained and lacked attention to detail.

Beautiful house very clean great pool, beautiful palm trees very private would go back again for sure.

Location is about the only good experience this location offered. Property needs a deep cleaning, kitchen door handle needs to be replaced my wife cut her hand on it, we had to request to get pool cleaned, landscaping was horrible palm tree limb fell and damaged my truck called manager and was told it would be taking care, 6 month later i was told it was mother nature fault my truck was damaged. Too bad this app does not offer an option to attach photos. also had to take time from my vacation to let contractors in because the pool deck was falling apart.
