Villa Maria: 1 Block to Pine! 3 Blocks to Beach! Pool, Ping Pong by Anna Maria Life

The location of the property on the island was awesome!

This home was absolutely wonderful for our family of 6. We have teenagers down to a toddler and the house accommodations were perfect. There was plenty of space for us to spread out yet still had common areas to all come together as well. The outdoor pool area was fantastic! And the location can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and property! Our family had the best week!

This house is so adorable and is in the perfect location. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The pool is large and the ping pong table was a hit. Very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back!

Overall our stay was great and we loved the island. House location and outdoor pool area are the highlights. Great space for our family of 5. House was clean but Finishes on the house are a little worn- faucet handles loose, kitchen faucet sprays to the side when using, back doors were hard to open/close and the paint on the kitchen cabinets is peeling. We would definitely come back but the house does need a little TLC.

We were absolutely pleased with this house. Great location, close to everything. We had a group of 4 adults and one 3 yr old child. Very spacious and clean! My wife and I had the upstairs bedroom. Huge and nice. The best part of the house is the pool area. It is a larger pool than most rentals. The pool chairs and furniture were very nice and seemed newer. If I had to find a criticism and this is nitpicking but the main living room couch and chair were uncomfortable but manageable. We will be back! Thanks.

This is a beautiful home with an even more beautiful pool area. The location is great, with the beach and bay both a short walk away. It's just one block south of Pine Avenue. However, some furnishings need to be replaced. The rental company did replace the gross coffee pot and disgusting pots and pans. The stove is worn out with only one of the 2 large burners working. But the living room and family room furniture is not only dirty and stained, it's worn out and uncomfortable. I had back pain for a month. It has no support. There wasn't a comfortable place to sit and read a book or watch TV. Even the dining chairs were uncomfortable. We'd love to stay here next year, but would be reluctant unless that furniture is replaced.

This property is in a wonderful location! Super close to the beach and the walk was very enjoyable to beaches, shops and restaurants! The home is nicely decorated. The couches, appliances, and outdoor table and chairs need some TLC. One of the stovetop burners does not work and the dishwasher trays could use some fixing. The couch was not very comfortable and the kitchen utensils and cutlery were in poor condition. There were no hot pads as well. Overall this property is nice and the location makes up for it. The pool was super warm which was amazing for our kids because it was chilly out this time of year.

Villa Maria is a nice house. The location is convinient. It is close to the beach, restaurants, little stores and a lot of other places, plus the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet (although this time, there was a construction near by, that woke us up very early). Upon our arrival we were dissapointed to find a few issues: the house appeared clean but was not done so very well. Some of the kitchen items were dirty, the furniture in the main living room was dirty (stains and overall pretty worn out). The bed comforter in one of the rooms was stained. The mattress cover and the pillows were stained in another room, that should have been replaced. The outside shower was FULL of sand. The pool was dirty. Water was murky and the temperature on it was unpleasant, considering how hot it is, the water was cold enough to be enjoyable. The maintenance on it, was poor. On the house book, it said, the pool was given maintenance twice a week but noone showed up for it until a day before we were leaving. The pool guy told us that maintenance was given only once a week. He tried his best to make it pleasant for us but it was too late, we were already leaving the next day. This was a big dissapointment. We were hardly able to use the pool. In the kitchen one of the main burners did not work. Also, the ceiling fans inside the house were dirty and dust balls were under and behind the furniture all through the house. Overall, the house maintenance was poor.

We had a wonderful stay! Walking distance to a few beaches. Recommend renting a golfcart to get the full island experience. Loved the beach chairs and floats. Had a few logistical issues (one involved a stovetop burner that didn't work) but our issues were addressed very quickly. Comfortable beds. As an FYI to future renters, it seems to be a thing that all spices/leftover stuff is discarded. Just know you are starting from zero. No biggie, but good to know for those who like to cook. We would stay here again! Local ice cream delicious. Parasailing fun. Pool a wonderful cool down late in the evening. Outside shower was the best! Sad to leave. Kudos to the maintenance people that helped us. They were super nice and attentive. I highly recommend staying here. Want to give a shout out to Cheryl (?spelling) who was a huge help with logistics and questions.
