A Collage of Moments Life is made up of a collage of moments. Too often, we rush through the days and forget to pause, to savor, to enjoy. After all, life is not a bottomless cup of coffee—it’s precious, finite, and meant to be cherished.This week at this wonderful home added so many memories to our collage of life. Memories my children and grandchildren will carry with them through the decades. The staff was always there—ready to assist, to answer questions, and to make us feel cared for. Every need was thoughtfully addressed in the layout and furnishings of the home—we wanted for nothing.For over six years, we’ve been creating these collages together, each visit adding new colors and textures to the story of our lives. And this time, everyone agreed: this was the best place yet.

The house is very nice and spacious. Best equipped kitchen we have ever had! Could use an ice maker as the refrigerator ice maker did not provide much ice.The only issue we had was the pool was not heated when we got there. We called and it was fixed the next day, Apparently the breaker had been turned off. We would definitely rent this house again. The kids had fun fishing off the dock and golf cart was a hit! We all enjoyed our week there!Peggy Z.

Year 2 was the real deal
Multi family vacation. Came back year two. Great option. Happy to see the island rebounded ! Great home for large family or a few families. Plenty of space. Great private pool area. Missed the downstairs fridge this year wiped out by flooding but over all a great place to stay !!

This house was the perfect size and location for our tribe that included five kids, aged eight down to two, We could catch the sunrise over the bay across the street and it was a quick jog on the golf cart to enjoy the beach and sunset after supper. House is beautifully appointed (the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a rental!), and so comfortable. We've booked it for next year!

Relaxing Getaway
Overall this was a very nice home. We had a group of 12 for this trip the house accommodated us very well. The ammenities were very nice including the pool, the outdoor area, cornhole, ping pong table were very nice. The balconies and canal views were very nice. Additionally it was very nice with all of the beach supplies provided. The only issue we had was the stove top wasn’t able to be used. They provided us with two hot plates to use so it wasn’t a major issue. They were replacing it during our stay so it should be fine now. Overall we would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Great week in Anna Maria
Just returned from a week in AMI. The house was perfect for our group of 10. We reserved golf carts and could easily get to the beach, shopping and restaurants from this central location. The house was well appointed with more than ample kitchen supplies, towels, beach chairs, etc. The property is very well maintained and looks exactly as it does in the pictures. I would highly recommend!

Great location and home was great
Great space for a large group. Clean. Everything accessible and all electronics worked ! Kitchen and all utensils were great and very clean and open. The only issue I have the listing a 4 instead of a 5 was the pool.
Biggest issue was the pool needed to be cleaned better when they came by. It was cloudy and the bottom needs to be vacuumed a bit. However the pool is a great plus and big enough for a group after a beach day. Just neeed a bit more upkeep. The area by the pool and TV is great though. I say access and great layout for the board and kids !
