The house was perfect for the 4 of us! It was clean, nicely decorated and so close to the beach. The game room, pool and hot tub were a hit! The only downside was the house was not stocked with garbage bags, toilet paper and dish detergent (there was one of each), which I've had in other VRBOs. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

This home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was a perfect house for our family. We had a few maintenance issues during our stay however the management company was very responsive and had the issue resolved quickly. The only issue outside of the home was the property on each side of the home had some remodeling going on and the sawing noise was annoying while we were using the pool or sitting on the deck. Hopefully the remodeling will be done soon and it won't bother the future guests. Overall we definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful home within walking distance to the beach

The home was beautiful and within walking distance to Bean Pointe. Home was clean and provided all the basics we needed for our stay. The extra beach supplies that are pictured were disappointing. The beach chairs were broken— wish we would have inspected them prior to dragging them to the beach. The only other concern is how slippery the game room floor is besides the pool. My 4 year old took a few spills just walking on the floor—it turns into an ice rink if it gets wet. Overall though, we had an amazing time and loved our experience on Anna Maria Island!

Great home, easy walk to beach and Rod & Reel

4 adults + 2 adult children stayed for 3 nights (Wed-Sat) during March 2023. The house itself is excellent and well furnished. Plenty of parking. Tons of well-thought entertainment for all ages at the house, we really enjoyed it. Screened in porch is great to unwind in the morning with coffee or at day's end. Kitchen appliances are first class, and the bathrooms are modern and clean, however there is no 1/2-bath powder room. We loved the location and the easy/quick walk not only to the beach but also the opposite direction to Rod & Reel on the bay side for beers and lunch. Management company communication was excellent...until it wasn't. On Friday afternoon within a 2 hour span we had to endure an HVAC maintenance visit, the pool cleaner who dumped chlorine in the pool, and then the landscapers who ran loud gas-powered leaf blowers and got leaves and dirt into the pool that the cleaner had just taken care of. It was unbelievable that we had to endure that on our last day at the property. Keep in mind that we were checking out Saturday morning, so all 3 of those service calls could have easily been scheduled on Saturday when NO ONE would be there except the house keeper. It was simply easier for the management company to do it on a Friday so they did. I called and complained and was basically blown off. I was promised a call the next day or Monday at the latest and unsurprisingly it has been nearly 2 weeks later and I still have not received the promised call.

"Meant To Be" was great!

A short walk to the beautiful Bean Point beach. Then, after a day on the beach, come back to the nice sized pool to cool off and chill. The game room was nice too. Two recommendations for the game room would be ceiling fans and a refrigerator. The house itself was large, updated with beach type decor throughout which added to our wonderful trip! I would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay for vacation. Thanks!

Review by the BT’s

First off the name of this place should be changed to “Bean Point Beach Oasis!” It’s so close to that awesome beach that we really didn’t feel the need to hang out on any other beach (although we did go check them out.) This house was absolutely perfect for our party of (6) 21+ year olds. The back yard with the little pool and hot tub was perfect for us to relax in after spending the day at the beach and cruising the town with the golf cart we rented. Also it was great at night and the lighting back there on the palm trees and in the pool area was really top notch for a nice ambience every night. We even watched a couple NBA playoff games from the pool and hot tub thanks to the awesome garage play-land that opened up directly to the pool area and backyard patio area. The inside of the house was perfect too with the open kitchen area and giant center island with 6 bar stools. It’s was also really nice to have the beach chairs, umbrella, wagons and cooler chariot! Those were life savers for the beach runs we made every day. It was real easy to communicate through IMs with the property manager as well. So close to the Rod and Reel pier as well so we saw the sunrise just about every morning from there. Anyway, can’t say enough great things about this spot so I’ll leave it with this, when we go back to Anna Maria Island someday, we will pick this same place again. It was perfect! Thanks, the BT’s (and we’re not easy to please :)

Amazing location

This was the most amazing location on the island. You are close to the bay and the beach. The beds are comfortable like everyone has mentioned. The game room was great for our kids with easy pool access. The pool size was disappointing so the kids swam mostly in the ocean. There are no extras in this house as far as cooking goes so be sure to bring or buy your own salt, pepper ect. Also, this is located at the top of the island so it takes about 15 minutes to get off the island. Great place overall!

Amazing vacation on AMI!

My family had an amazing time staying at this wonderful home! My kids (3 & 6) LOVED the house and had so much fun playing with the games downstairs. They loved the pool as well. You can't beat the location of this house. Very short walk to the beach and it was so quiet. The beds were very comfortable (which is definitely a rarity for a rental) and the kitchen was well appointed. We will definitely rent this house again when we come back in the future!
