The Perfect Gulf Front Vacation, Directly on the Beach!

This was our first time to Anna Maria and it was was so beautiful! The house is wonderful and we found the location to be perfect. Renting a golf cart got us everywhere we needed to go. Communication with the host is easy and he is quick to respond. There was a perfect view of the sunset every night and the master bedroom window view is 10/10! Thank you!

The very clean home is right on the beautiful beach. Communication with the owner couldn't be better. Location is close all Pine Avenue restaurants and shopping. It was well stocked with everything we needed. Towels and beach chairs were especially nice. We had a wonderful stay!

This place is great for our family. This was our second time here. Love the views. Love the location on the island. Does not seem as busy here on the north end. Only 120 steps to the water. Property is as described. Communication with host is great. Will come back again!

The property fit our style very well. No frills except the gorgeous views. Steps from the water and easy walk or bike ride to town. Very nice property owner.

This house was in an amazing location for easy access to the beach and in a quieter less crowded part of the island. We loved being able to walk out our door right down to the water. It was very well stocked including beach accessories, plenty of beach and bath towels, and even a high chair for our child. The views from the second floor bedroom were gorgeous. It's an older house but was incredibly clean. We would love to return here in the future.

Perfect spot for our family! Amazing views from sunrise to sunset. We loved being right on the beach. Hosts provided EVERYTHING we could need for the beach! Enjoyed many meals on the grill outside and had our toes in the sand every day. Beds were so comfy. Great beach house, we would definitely stay again!

Great location and excellent views of the Gulf. Sat On the deck and enjoyed the sunsets. New kitchen was nice and well stocked. Looking forward to next year to stay for a Week.

Not quite, but almost. Osprey House, which extends beyond nearby properties toward the sea, provides uninterrupted views of beautiful Anna Maria Beach and the Gulf across clumps of sea grass. The perspective from the master bedroom is especially extraordinary. Your private path takes you to the beach from the deck. A garage full of beach equipment and a wagon sets you up. We didn't have any problems, but the owner responded to questions within minutes. Perfect service. Don't make the mistake I made--entirely my error. I thought I was renting the entire building shown in the photographs, but this is a duplex with narrower public space. The other unit was unoccupied through our stay.

Pros: Located directly on the beach Clear water and white sand Near the point of the island where it is slightly less busy Home seems to have been cared for and upgraded over the years - i.e updated kitchen Owner was communicative House was relatively clean with exception of downstairs shower Cons: Overwhelming musty, moldy odor upstairs that prohibited us from using the 2nd bedroom - did not go away after open windows and Lysol so could be a more serious issue Coin-op laundry at $4 per load! Not only is it very pricey and not included in the listing that I noticed, but is extremely inconvenient to find an ATM and get change in order to be able to do laundry House was not well stocked compared to many other rentals we have experienced - i.e. basic first aid, salt and pepper amongst several other things Upstairs windows and screens need repair Several lights in the house either do not work or need replacement bulbs Not a con of the rental, but AMI was not our favorite spot we have visited on the gulf, a bit overcrowded and commercialized, but for many people this would be a pro I think

We have rented this property for the last several years and have always had a great experience. The location is perfect and the house is very nice. It's nice to see the improvements/updates made every year to the house. Highly recommend!
