Private Tropical Oasis - Tarpon Point - Pool/Spa, Perfect Island Getaway!

Overall my family had a great stay. Location of the home is fantastic for access to all shops, restaurants and beaches on the northern end of the island. Pool and spa worked well and were great options when not at the beach. Plenty of space in the house for my party of 5. Some road noise can be heard from the bedrooms at the front of the house, but it was not a bother for all but the very light sleeper in the house. We had a few hiccups at check-in due to unforeseen events that were out of the owner's control. This was handled professionally and I was satisfied with the responsiveness to this challenge. Overall I would definitely recommend and would absolutely consider staying again if we come back to the area.

Great location, family friendly property. We will definitely return.

Lovely, well-equipped home with a pool and spa that were better than we have ever seen and we have stayed at many vacation homes! We spent a ton of time enjoying the pool area. The house is the perfect location for exploring the northern part of AMI and the trolley stop was nearby. Everything you could want was conveniently provided (bikes, beach chairs, cooler, beach wagon, umbrella). Beds were comfortable and the back porch was perfect for reading or breakfast, also a gas firepit which was nice for evening chats. As mentioned, we spent a lot of time in the pool, and had some great beach days as well. Recommend renting a golf cart for convenience if planning to go to the gulf-side beaches frequently as it is a few blocks (but not a bad walk). AMI General Store was extremely convenient and has an ice cream shop there which was great. Our favorite close restaurant was The Sandbar, and we also loved Tide Tables in Cortez. The Feast had a good menu for food and drinks but less ambiance. Breezy Bakery is in Cortez and also wonderful; they made a delicious vegan chocolate birthday cake for my daughter who is allergic to egg and milk: highly recommend! Aside from the cake, everything else there was amazing too!Overall a great trip and great Vrbo, 10/10 would recommend.

Great house in a great location!

The house was perfect and is in a great location for walking everywhere. We totally loved it.

Great location for access to all the hot spots on the island - 2 blocks from Pine Ave shops & restaurants, public beaches at both ends of Tarpon, and only a few blocks from the main road that runs south to Holmes beach area. House was perfect for our party of 6 - 4 adults and 2 kids. Rooms are tiny and relatively close together but were only used for sleeping so didn’t really matter. Outdoor deck, pool/spa and bar area are great amenities. The palm trees and surrounding houses shield most of the sun and it was great having shade to sit and relax, but not ideal if you’re looking for heat and sun. It was great having bikes and beach equipment. Would definitely consider staying here again for the location.

Loved the pool! Great communication with Host.

Great host, great property, great house, great location, great vacation. Only downside was leaving to go home. Thanks for everything John!

Loved our stay here John was so easy to work with and communication was GREAT! Great property and close to everything we enjoyed. Beautiful memories were made here and we cannot wait to come back. Beach Bums rental was seriously right down the street which made it so easy to grab our golf cart to get around the Island.

We loved the house and had a great trip! We will be back!

Lovely home, great location and a beautiful pool/backyard area.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tarpon Point. The home was exceptionally clean when we arrived and we loved the wonderful layout of the home and great pool for our family. John helped to make sure we had a pack 'n play that was available for our stay. Great location to walk to the beach and Pine Ave. Highly recommend renting a golf cart to explore the island and especially for parking closer to Bean Point Beach! Would love to stay here again for any future trips to Anna Maria Island!

We stayed at Tarpon Point for the 2nd year in a row, from 3/8-3/15/25. We were thrilled to see the island vibrant and quickly recovering from the devastating hurricanes (Helene and Milton). We noticed immediately the amount of landscaping that was unfortunately lost at Tarpon Point compared to last year's stay, but the backyard was still VERY private. The owner was very quick to respond to our questions. This property is absolutely PERFECT! From the walkability to the beach, shopping, and restaurants to the amazing backyard oasis. These homeowners have gone above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay for guests. They provide starter items such as hand soap, bar soap, shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms as well as dish soap, paper towel, and garbage bags in the kitchen. It is so nice to arrive and not feel the need to rush to the grocery store for hygiene items immediately upon check-in, but can instead enjoy the daylight and delay the store run for groceries and supplies when ready. Additionally they provide bicycles, beach wagon, cooler, beach chairs and toys. We have stayed at other VRBO properties both in Michigan (where we live) and in Florida and this is by far the BEST! Even better, we feel it is priced just right for what you are getting!! The ONLY drawback is that the property is only for 6 people and since we are a family of 5, we have no way to invite family/friends to j

In my 9 years of traveling for work, I'm pleased to say this is the best home, location and pool I've ever stayed at. I'm so glad that is was my vacation and notnot working related

We loved Tarpon Point! The house was very clean and well-maintained, the kitchen was stocked with salt/pepper, sugar, oil, ziploc bags, etc., and the location is perfect—two blocks from the General Store and Dips, 3 blocks from Ginny’s and Jane E’s, and of course really conveniently located for beach access.The thing we loved the most, though, was the pool setup. We thought it was perfect! It was HUGE, and has a very big hot tub! And the ping pong table and bar area right next to the pool were awesome. All in all, we loved our stay at Tarpon Point and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great rental on AMI.

This house had it all -- huge pool with outdoor lounging area. Plenty of sunny areas for me, plenty of shaded areas for kids. Also the house was well stocked and in a great location. We could walk to the coffee shop, stores, and of course, to the beach.We would definitely stay again!

After our stay last year, we immediately rebooked! It really is the perfect AMI vacation home. Looking forward to returning in 2026!
