Funky Beach Farmhouse: Beautiful Bay views, heated pool, hot tub, lounge area

The home itself was beautiful but we ran into many issues the entire stay with little communication with the management company. When we first arrived we found the top floor and half of the main floor’s electricity was out. The rest of the house had power. We had to wait over 16 hours for someone to come access the fuse box. Granted it was the weekend so the management company was not working regular 9-5 hours, however, for the amount we paid nightly, it doesn’t seem fair that we had to go one entire evening, night, and morning without lights or power throughout 1/3 of the house without any apology or effort for reconciliation. Next, numerous things were broken. The fire pit was broken, the hot tub never heated up to the temperature we were told it would, the ping pong net was broken, one of the shutters indoors on the stair rail headed up to the top floor fell off its hinges while my husband was carrying our son upstairs, and when I went to run a load of laundry the washer had an error message and wouldn’t work. After waiting several hours for a reply from management I went ahead and googled the error message and fixed the issue with the hose myself. Overall we feel we did not get our value for the money that we spent. Please note that this is the first poor review I’ve ever left but I feel that it’s necessary to warn future guests before committing to such an expensive rental. We love Anna Maria Island and we will definitely be back to the area, just not this home.

Excellent place. Very well equipped!! We had a great time

What an amazing house! Gorgeous and well appointed…we didn’t lack for anything. The pool and patio are the perfect focal point. As a bonus, the porches are great for watching sunrises!

The Funky Beach Farmhouse worked out perfectly for our group of 6! The indoor space was large with plenty of room for all of us and then some. The pool was a must have in July!We came from another rental where check out time was 10:00 am. We thought that it would be a long shot but we stopped by the Funky Beach Farmhouse rental office to ask them if we could store our luggage there until check in time at the Farmhouse. They said YES! Then we got to go hang out at the beach!When the management office texted us to let us know the house was ready they told us that our luggage had already been delivered to the house! That really blew our minds! So wonderful!

Single mom took her crew of 6 (Ages 19-3) on this paradise vacation. It was perfect. The pool was amazing and met the needs of all the age groups! The location could not have been better. Beautiful sunrise every morning. Close to bean point and many shops and restaurants. We saw a dolphin-shark (it’s still out for debate) swimming in bay from the breakfast table one morning. We had all the amenities and space to keep this mom and crew in luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed our paradise vacation in this pristine home.

This property has everything you need. We went for the beach and views but stayed and enjoyed the house more than we expected. Highly recommend!

Amazing place to stay with friends or family. The outdoor area was perfect for swimming & hot tubbing. Communication was amazing when we needed help with the fire pit. Incredible place!

We had a great time at the property. Will definitely use sato realty for future rentals.

Fantastic place for a girls’ trip/long weekend. This place is immaculate and fully equipped with anything you would ever need. The pool area is fantastic and the house is a short walk to the tip of the island or the trolley to get you downtown. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our 50th birthdays.

Rental had everything you could ever want. Walking distance to the beach and a short distance to all popular restaurants and attractions. Did not disappoint

Mostly adults and one 31/2 year old had a perfect time. The location was the best with a quick walk across the street to the beach. The pool was the perfect size for our granddaughter and she hopped from the pool to the jacuzzi all day.The house itself is beautifully decorated with bathrooms in all 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was equipped with every pot or pan you could possibly need and top of the line appliances. I can’t say enough positive things about this house and the consensus was to return next year.
