What a beautiful property! We loved that it was on the canal so we could get to our boat easily. We also loved that the home was all ground level. We had a grandmother with a walker and a toddler. We appreciated not having to worry about steps anyway. It was amazing!!

Perfect July 4th vacay
The property was in the perfect location. Enjoyed the pool after days out in the boat. Loved the house being ground level for easy in and out! The kitchen was VERY well stocked which was great for our family, because we cooked almost every night. Enjoyed the pool table at night before sinking into the comfy beds.

Fantastic house!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home and would definitely book again. It's very comfortable for a family. We had 2 adults and 4 kids ages 16-20. We spent a lot of time fishing off the back deck catching pin fish/catfish/black drum and feeding a blue heron that showed up each day for breakfast and dinner. Being on the canal was SO worth it and the walk to the beach was just down the street. The backyard is very private as well. The pool table got a lot of use from our teens. The pool and spa were wonderful!! We also liked having ALL the light switches labeled! A few little things that would've made our stay better but definitely won't deter for us booking again. We LOVED this house!
** A beach umbrella/sun shade/ shade ninja etc. We really appreciated the beach cart and chairs, but we traveled 10 hours with a packed car, so a tent/umbrella is just something we couldn't bring with us.
** The two right burners on the induction stovetop didn't work. We reported it the first day and they said maintenance would come take a look, but it was never looked at. We cooked 90% of our meals, so only having two burners was inconvenient, but workable
** Instructions for the TV. There were 5 remotes in a bowl. Thankful the 20-year olds figured it out quickly.
** A way to turn-off the door alarms. While I understand the safety behind it, it caters to a small % of families (those with very young kids) who are obviously taking on the responsibility themselves by booking a house with a pool/canal a few steps away. Hurricane Elsa set-off the alarm at 2:30am with a window that opened just a crack. We thought it was some sort of hurricane alarms going off, very frightening in the middle of the night. THEY ARE LOUD!
** Providing a little more of the needed things so they don't ALL need to be bought for the week....scissors/tape, saran wrap/tin foil, spice rack, trash bags etc. There is NOTHING besides the few starters of tp, dish soap, laundry packet. Just taking 1% of the rental fee and providing some extras would have been the cherry on top.

Family
We had family stay with us from Florida. The place was beautiful and clean. They had beach chairs. The grill was useable. Enough stuff in the kitchen to cook. We don’t have little kids so the security doors and windows were loud but if I had kids they would be great. Needed to have a blow dryer and shampoos, conditioners and lotion samples like any hotel room. That would have been nice. Also the 499.00 VRBO fee was ...wow! Unfortunately, we may look at realtors next time for a rental.

Amazing House BUT disappointing with VRBO
Over all then house was amazing - few issues like broken TV in LR/Billiards room and patio door unable to close all the way. It was exactly as described. Few suggestions: the pool temp is way too high, was like taking a bath not very refreshing. Also instructions on how to work things like spa, TVs, etc.
OUR issue with VRBO- we have used many times and I have never paid a booking fee of about 10%. Next time I’m in Anna Maria I’ll book direct!

Nirvana in January
Our visit to AMI was relaxing and enjoyable while staying at Nirvana. Fortunately the weather in January was unseasonably warm thus we used the pool and hot tub almost daily.
Nirvana is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with modern appliances and features. The many indoor and outdoor seating areas made for easy entertaining. The maintenance company was timely in responding. Nirvanas setting is beautifully landscaped,private and a quick 5 minute walk to the beach.
On the down side the daily construction on the street was a major inconvenience and distraction (7-5 M-F). We wouldn’t think twice about returning to Nirvana, but would check first on the construction.

Great stay and great house
Everything was nice, the house was clean, big, and near the beach. Only issue was the construction next door. Wish we knew beforehand. Had 2 little kids and nap time was impossible. Other than that everything was great.

Great location
Very clean house with a great layout for our multigenerational needs. Nicely appointed decorations, comfortable beds and modern appliances. The electronics throughout the house were impressive!
Great location for walking to shops and food along Pine Street and accessing the beach.
Dock out back made accessing Tampa Bay for fishing or sunset cruises.
Kids had luck fishing in the evening from the dock.
Great home on a relaxing Florida island!

We had a fabulous time! The house was even better than I imagined. We had 7 adults and 1 child and didn’t feel cramped at all. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and the pool was beautiful. I will definitely be booking here again!
