Fountainhead 4 · 3 Lanais · Steps to Beach

We loved the location of this condo! Just steps from the beach, and very quiet area. The condo was clean and comfortable. Only one negative for us was the musty smell and the slightly dirty carpeting. We enjoyed our stay!

The location was perfect, the units are nice, they take care of the property regularly outside and around the pool, but the cleaners could do a better job prior to arrival. There were a few minor issues; loose cabinets and such. There were some flying bugs, but its Florida there are lots of bugs, and they tried to take care of the issue. Overall, would stay again.

Fountainhead Condo #4 was good location for our family vacation. The price, amenities, and location were fantastic. The condo was in walking distance to the beach and had a pool onsite as well. It’s nice having a townhouse for a beach vacation and being able to completely separate the sleep area and the social area. Two downsides to our stay. The first was the construction being done to the railings throughout the entire property during our entire stay. There was debris everywhere, loud music being played by the workers and when we would come and go, the workers looked at us like an inconvenience and that we were getting in their way. The second was when the Florida Health Dept. closed the pool midweek due to a code violation. They placed a sign at the entrance one morning and within 5hrs the sign was gone. That was a bit odd. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location we biked a lot. The unit needs a bit of TLC. Might want to complete the tile floor project. Please replace the carpet. I usually take off my shoes when I enter a home. In this case I used a pair of flip flops while inside.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is a fantastic location! Close walking distance to the beach that my family with three little kids made multiple times a day. The two four plexes are making improvements which is much needed. This unit is great overall! Enough space, lots of closets, super close to the pool! It desperately needs a new pan set as the one there is unusable. The queen bedroom mattress is hard as a rock. Even a mattress topper would improve it! The twin beds are much more comfortable. The living room slider is almost impossible to open and shut and is rotting all around the frame. The shared bathroom by the pool was very dirty and the toilet was leaking when used. With all that being said we would consider staying again but if these updates were made it would be a no brainer! The pool was very very warm! Everything was cleaned well and the starter pack of items was nice too. I talked with other owners of the Fountainhead units and they all are making updates which is great to here! Overall pretty happy with our stay!

UNFORTUNATELY THE CONDO WE ORIGINALLY RENTED WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE UPGRADED TO A DIFFERENT CONDO - THIS ONE. IT WAS VERY CLEAN, HAD WHAT WE NEEDED FOR COOKING AND WAS A SHORT WALK TO THE BEACH. IT WAS EQUIPED WITH BEACH CHAIRS AND BEACH TOWELS WHICH WERE VERY NICE. THE ONLY DOWNFALL WAS THE AMOUNT OF STAIRS TO GET UP TO THE CONDO - WITH RAIN WERE A LITTLE SLICK. ONE OF US HAS RECENTLY HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY SO THE STAIRS WERE CHALLENGING (FIRST PLACE WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR). OVERALL A GREAT PLACE TO STAY

We enjoyed our stay but would not consider rebooking this particular unit. We are aware of the high demand for properties on Anna Maria Island, but the owners need to reconsider the Property Manager they are using. Beds, A/C and pool were excellent. However, only basic services were offered, and we felt it was unreasonable to expect us to wash our own towels, in the pay w/d, when staying 2 weeks. When we pressed they delivered sheets, to change ourselves, for the second week. The kitchen needs attention since some small appliances are in need of repair and pots and pans are dirty and inferior.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo location was our favorite thing about the place; it is just a short walk to the beach. There were plenty of beds to fit our family. The condo could’ve been a bit cleaner and was missing some kitchen items (cutting boards, more than 2 matching glass cups). There were a few minor issues such as the wrong check in code and no beach equipment but the property management was very helpful in resolving it quickly!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great location, super close to the beach. Additionally, the condo was super close to the grocery store, drugstore and liquor store, restaurants and ice cream shops. The condo itself was spacious. Some of the silverware in the drawer was not clean. The pool was nice and warm, and never over crowded. Our only complaints would be lack of “extra” blankets and pillows and the beds and sheets being uncomfortable. I’m not overly particular when it comes to mattresses but the mattress in this condo was much too firm, and the sheets were like sandpaper. Also there is a laundry facility but you have to pay $3 per load to wash/dry clothes. Also we had rented a golf cart for the week and had there been other golf carts at the facility we only found 1 plug in to use and that was in the laundry room.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was a perfect location for me. 1.5 blocks to the beach and walking distance to shops, Publix, Walgreens. The unit itself was perfect for two of us. Has the necessities. Small balconies. Decent size pool. Gets hot upstairs in June. Be aware. Lots of steps.
