Beautiful home. Room for everyone. Even when it rained we had a great time. We had one bedroom that had no electricity for a couple of days and rental company went above and beyond to get it fixed. Daisy was a champ. Thanks and hope to be back.

Best week!

We loved our time on AMI. The house was beautiful and served our family well!! We had a few issues but they responded quickly to our calls. My only desire would be a better stocked kitchen. The beds are very comfortable and the house has so much to offer! We loved watching the sunset on the roof top! The location is perfect and we will for sure rent again.

I did not give 5 stats because the necessities supplied upon arrival were less than reasonable. Toiletries, paper towels, garbage bags, shampoo soap should not be something you immediately need to ship for upon arrival. Cheap. Otherwise, the house and location were awesome.

WILLOW INN

This is now our 2nd time working with Ana Maria Life Vacations, and 2nd time stay at WILLOW INN. Everything is fabulous here! My only potentially negative feedback is the POOl heater must be turned off. The duration of our stay the pool was HOT not even bath water. Of course I do understand that June - July is HOt in AMI, it would be beneficial if the home could have a cooler for pol.

Best family gathering spot

This house could not be better! We all had the best family vacation and will cherish the memories of this week. Space for people to work, play, decompress. Wonderful kitchen and outdoor spaces. The only thing wrong is that you have to go by 5 to get into the Ugly Grouper! Thank you for sharing your outstanding home with us. If you would allow a 12 year old westie to be with us we'd come for much longer! You have thought of everything!

The home itself had the space we needed and accommodated our family! The cleanliness wasn’t up to our standards. We had to call the office to have them send someone back to vacuum and wipe the kitchen down before our kids arrived. It rained one evening and the roof leaked not just a little but came through the three hanging lights in the steps leading upstairs. There was long dark hair on the tiled wall in the shower and in the bed sheets when we turned the sheets back at midnight. When you’re paying a cleaning fee it should be CLEAN! There’s a home being built right next door so it was loud during the weekdays but relaxing on the weekends. It’s a beautiful home but cleanliness is important to us.

Beautiful/ clean / perfect location

Our family enjoyed this home for a week. It was very clean and very beautiful. The location is perfect, a short walk to town or the beach. Roof top patio was the best, with a view of the ocean. A few recommendations: the pool alarm on the door was unexpected for us as we arrived late. It’s very loud, for safety reasons, but we might have woken the neighborhood since we didn’t know how to operate it. The kitchen could definitely use some more staple items. The pool/ spa instructions were also not clear so ask about that as soon as you arrive. Thank you for sharing your home with us. It was very roomy and enjoyable. We would recommend this home for sure and hope to return one day to beautiful Anna Maria Island 🏝️
