We had a great time at Glory days. The backyard has a great tropical feel/vibe. Amazing pool and hot tub this is where we spent most of our days. Great location. We loved it there and were very impressed on how stocked the kitchen was and loved that they had a good amount of beach chairs we could use. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful property, beautiful area

The house is exactly as pictured and advertised, it was a fabulous vacation home. The house is decorated very nicely and has all the things that you might need. They even have beach supplies and coolers for you to avail of during your day. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach, but with a backyard as nice as this one you barely needed to leave. We loved our stay, the hosts were very easy to get in touch with, and were very helpful.

Great house near the beach, perfect fit for six

Everything we could have asked for in a vacation house. Master suite is spacious and has a shower and tub. Pool and hot tub. A little tricky to figure out how to get the hot tub hot. Short walk to a great beach, great neighborhood and we liked Anna Maria Island. Only drawback was that there were no food basics: no salt or pepper even. Be prepared to buy everything you need in the way of food. Otherwise all good.

Clean, comfortable, home in a good location

The only disappointment we had was that the hot tub only worked about 30% of our entire stay. We made so many calls to to AMI Realty and someone only came out twice to fix it. The repair never lasted long. So, keep that in mind if the hot tub is a selling point for you. Other than that, the home was clean, the beds comfortable, the sheets soft. Many beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers etc. Fully stocked kitchen. Smart TV’s. Everything you could possibly need, except for the hot tub. The house is in a good location, easy walk to a nice area of the beach. A short bike ride to the shops of AMI and even down the other direction to Holmes Beach. Really would’ve been perfect if not for the hot tub issues.

Nice Place to RELAX

Everything was clean and well maintained. Interior was well decorated with slight Florida theme that was not overdone. Plenty of towels for bath and pool. Pool was more than big enough for our group of 7 people. Property was perfectly landscaped. Kitchen had everything you would need. We had two very minor issues that were immediately fixed by the property management without hesitation. Short walk to the beach, but why go there when you have a great private pool

Great Location, Great Property

We stayed at Glory Days in Feb-2021 with two children (4/6) and were very happy with this home. Online listing was accurate. Location was great - no more than a 3-4 minute walk to beach. The house included any beach items you'd need so saves much on packing (beach carts/wagons, chairs, coolers, toys, umbrellas, etc). We also loved hanging out at the home's pool and using hot-tub during cooler evenings was perfect.

Amazing Vacation!!

Truly an amazing vacation! Glory Days was an awesome vacation rental with so many amenities. When we arrived the check in was an easy, contact-less process. The house was very clean, you could even smell the cleaning products. The back yard was THE BEST part. So amazing, a tropical oasis. The pictures don’t do it justice! My family of 4 (two boys 8 & 11) went with another family of 4 with boys the same age. There was plenty of space in the house. The older boys slept on twin air mattresses (that were in the master closet) in the den. There was a fold out queen available as well. The beds were all very comfortable. And the showers.... the showers were amazing!!! The master shower was a steam shower, so nice! The shower on the main level was luxurious as well! Huge tub in the master bath, though we never used it. The outdoor (enclosed) shower was so convenient. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the utensils and dishes you would need. The extra refrigerator in the garage was a game changer! There were plenty of beach supplies, making packing much easier. There were 2 beach carts, a beach wagon, large cooler and small soft coolers, pool floats, beach toys, goggles, corn hole boards, plenty of chairs and umbrellas, and we donated some boogie boards....everything you could need for a day at the beach! The backyard was just the best thing! The only thing that could have made it better was staying longer!!! Overall, a wonderful house! I recommend renting it before it books!!

Excellent retreat

Although the pool and garden were our favorites, the property as a whole is fantastic, as it has elements for all types of groups. The kitchen is spacious and overlooks the open living room, but there is a separate enclosed den if privacy is required. The dining area has views out to the pool, and there is the add on 'conservatory' next to it for quiet reading indoors in the mornings or if the weather is bad. If you venture further, the outdoor screened patio is great for outside dining mozzie free, with the gas grill right outside that. Thhere is the wonderfully spacious garden with good sized pool and great hot tub. There are plenty of loungers, chairs and umbrellas. The free trolley bus north and south stops right at the end of the street, only 50 yards away, so overall this is a great villa in a great location, we loved it!
