Pelican Bay in Anna Maria

Spacious house, great spot near the beach. Pool is very nice as well. Fast response from owner! WouldRecommended.

We had a great week. The only thing that we did not like was the air conditioning. It couldn’t cool the whole place. We would get really hot at night.

Just needs Better tvs and curtains in living areas. TVs need to be smart tvs. It is a great property

We were disappointed in the condition of the house based on the price we paid per night, however the location of the house was very close to all the local shops and restaurants. The house wasn't well maintained, with broken/missing blinds, missing light bulbs, loose faucets, broken toilet paper holder, rotten balcony and stairway wood, broken dishwasher (which was fixed half way through our trip after calling 3 times), broken washer, no light in the refrigerator, broken burner on the stove, holes in the drywall walls and ceilings. The pool was a fiberglass shell with many chipped sections at the bottom and broken tiles along the edge (made it hard to enjoy the pool). The furniture in the home was worn, with only 2 old, plastic Adirondack chairs at the pool. The room in the loft with the 2 twin beds was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Seems as though many of these items were damaged back in August 2023, based on the review from Lissa. When we booked the house, I assumed that many of these items had been fixed. If you bring a boat, make sure you don't have a t-top due to the requirement to go under 2 bridges to get out to the bay. If the house was listed at a lower price, my expectations would have been different and I don't think I would have as many complaints.

We stayed on Anna Maria for vacation again this year and we believe we may have found the islands sweet spot. This house on pelican was fantastic. It is a very quiet area, but it is close to so much. Having stayed closer to Pine Avenue, Holmes beach, Bean point, and the piers this location got us in the heart of all of those island hot spots without a lot of traffic or travel time. The house itself is a great layout for anyone staying with Kids or early risers. My wife and I took the Master off the kitchen while the kids were on basically the opposite side of the house. The pool area Is fantastic, and definitely became the focal point of many of our nights. I found myself sitting on the dock looking at the stars, listening to the fish jump, seeing dolphins, and just being amazed that such a place could exist. The beds were comfy, the shower water was warm enough for even my wife which is saying something, the kitchen was up-to-date and well equipped, and there is even a disco party light that lights up the entire second floor with a light show that we at first laughed at, but the kids grew to love and so did we. We had nothing to request Maintenance for, but I did speak with the office pre booking and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was. We have been to countless houses and they often fall flat on personality, comfort, or location, but this house definitely did not. It literally felt like home away from home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome location at a good price we enjoyed the boat dock and pool we love the north end of the island

Great location perfect we just needed a dock for the seadoos the pool is a nice bonus and trail across street to Bayfront park convenient

Great place to vacation. Needs a little maintenance for light bulbs burned out and loose faucet in the bathroom. Other than a few minor issues we loved our stay here. Thank you!

... and close to the bay. We were hoping to put in our kayaks and paddle boards off the dock into the lagoons, but unfortunately, the dock isn't set up for that. other than that, we really enjoyed the pool and the big, open kitchen.

We had a number of issues with this house and would expect better when they charge so much to rent it out. I feel bad writing this review, but the house is older and hasn’t been kept up well. The faucets in both bathrooms are loose, the front doorknob is also loose, the stairs to the pool are not good and are rotten in areas, the pool is older and needs to be resurfaced because it is chipping in places, there are two large square cutouts in the wall of the second bedroom closet to accommodate some kind of device (leaving large holes in the wall), there are no blinds for the living room windows leaving you exposed to people passing by the house, for the windows that had blinds several have pieces missing or not working properly, the deck off the main bedroom is unusable because it is covered in what appears to be black mold, the vents need to be cleaned (especially one in the bathroom), the bench at the dining table is very wobbly (legs not attached properly perhaps), we didn’t stay in the downstairs room but the fan there shakes a lot, there was also an ant problem at the front door when we stayed. I note that the pool also looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is. I’m sorry to say, but I’d stay somewhere else next time…
