Stayed Apr 13, 2026Overall the house was just okay. The location can’t be beat. We had an issue with the fridge which spoiled all of our food (around 175) on the first day. Once upon a beach insisted it was normal, but after I asked for someone to come out, the fan motor was broken. The kitchen has few amenities - none of the Tupperware has matching lids, no tinfoil / bags, and a very hodgepodge collection of everything else. We had two rolls of paper towels and two garbage bags for the week *maybe thats standard? but for a luxury listing seems meek). The shed is a mess - one bike has slashed tires, and the two that don’t have flat tires and both pumps in the shed don’t work. It’s disorganized and also a hodgepodge. They give you a credit to rent items, but I only rented one bike because it said there were others at the house. So I had to go rent other bikes, which is a waste of time and money. The pool is not secure. The wires on the porch are sagging which allow children to climb up and down which was a major safety concern for us the whole time. In general the maintenance of the house could use attention. The pool was cleaned the second day we got here which was nice, but then the yard cleaners came right after and leaf blew everything back into the pool lol. Overall if I had paid half the amount for this rental it would have been okay, but for the price I am disappointed.

Stayed Jul 24, 2025We had a wonderful time at Once Upon A Beach—it was just what we needed and more! The cozy home was just a few steps from the beautiful AMI beach, making it truly memorable getaway. We’re already looking forward to staying again!

Stayed Jun 30, 2025Our family loved our first vacation in AMI! Casa Mariposa was the perfect house and in the perfect location for our family of 8, with kids ranging in age from 6 to 17. The house felt like a retreat with bright, beautiful decor and all the amenities we needed. I really loved the mix of textures and colors throughout the house via the wallpaper, furniture, pillows, and bedding. The many screened in porches were the favorite spots for our family to relax and spend time with each other.There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels provided. There were also beach chairs, toys, and floats available to use. The available bug spray and suncreen was also very much appreciated. The house is located down the street from a public beach access and near the Sandbar restaurant on the sand, making it fun for the kids to go grab a bite to eat or a frozen drink on their own. It's also near Pine Street, making exploring the shops and restaurants easy to walk, bike, or ride to in a golf cart.The property managers were available via text if we needed anything or had any questions.It's rare that we would want to book the exact same property for a vacation, but this home is the exception. We would love to stay at Casa Mariposa again in the future!

Stayed May 31, 2025We loved our stay at Casa Mariposa. The house was exceptionally clean and stocked with basic items and some extras like beach bags, towels, beach and pool equipment, and small toiletry kits. The location was ideal, one block from the beach and Pine Ave for shopping and eating. We loved the back balconies off the great room and all the windows on the upper level. We liked having the extra beverage refrigerators on the first level and in the kitchen to store drinks. A feature we really enjoyed was the Sonos sound system that allowed us to play music all throughout the house thru a simple app. We would definitely stay at Casa Mariposa in the future. It was our favorite house so far on Anna Maria. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Casa Mariposa was your favorite stay on Anna Maria Island so far. It's great to know you enjoyed the home's cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and ideal location. We're especially glad the extra touches like the Sonos sound system, beach gear, and beverage refrigerators made your stay even more enjoyable. We'd love to welcome you back anytime—thank you again for choosing us! 🌴✨

The casa is conveniently located to beach access. The home is spacious with many nice quiet areas to read and relax! Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear your family had such a wonderful stay at Casa Mariposa. It's great to know you found the home clean, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We're also glad the convenient beach access and quiet nooks throughout the house added to your enjoyment. We'd love to welcome you back anytime for another serene getaway!

Stayed Mar 25, 2025We loved our time at Casa Mariposa. Great location. The pool was warm and clean. The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Plenty of space (seating areas, tables, TVs), especially the screened-in balconies.

Stayed Sep 5, 2024Our stay was awesome! The property is located on a quiet street just a few houses from the beach and easily walkable to several shops and restaurants. House was spacious for 5 people and all the rooms were comfortable. Lots of outdoor patio space upstairs and downstairs. Would definitely stay again next time visiting AMI

Stayed Aug 24, 2024True to its name, Casa. Mariposa sits on a treat and plant filled lot that can’t help but attract butterflies! The property was tastefully decorated and spotless. An added bonus was the lap pool and spa, both of which were welcome after a day in the sun. The entire process with the property manager, Once Upon a Beach, was seamless and stress free.
