Nice Christmas getaway
We rented Jackie and Bobs lovely home for two weeks at Christmas. Jackie told me she would have a Christmas tree for us, but when we arrived we discovered she went above and beyond. There was a full size tree tastefully decorated and each and every room had some kind of Christmas decoration. It was such a nice touch and lovely gesture. The house was great and so comfy. We saw dolphin almost every evening in the canal. We had the opportunity to meet Jackie and Bob and they were so kind and welcoming, showing us around the home and making sure we were comfortable before they left. Jackie even made some suggestions about places to eat. The location couldn’t have been better, with the preserve across the street and the beach just a bike ride away. We will definitely stay again.

July 4th getaway
Everything was absolutely amazing. We kept our 20’ boat on the lift all week and enjoyed the waters up and down the coast. The home was just perfect. Beautiful views of the canal and boat lift.

Great Location, Beautiful Home
The owners were amazing, the house was very nice and clean. Kayaks, bikes, boat dock and lift were perfect for our 18ft skiff. Manatees swimming in the canal, close to beach and nature preserve. A must stay
On a side note, while traveling down to the property we experienced a roadside emergency. Our trailer hit a pothole and completely damaged the axle and mounts. After we completed our roadside repair we continued on to this home. When we arrived the owners met us and showed us the property. I explained the situation and the husband had no problem allowing me to make the extra repairs on the side of the home. Trust me, not something i wish on anyones vacation but it happened. So nice of them to allow us to do so
Great beaches close, Ugly Grouper restaurant is a must, those Tacos!!!
Anna Maria can get busy in the peak of summer but there is ample places to go amdnthe water is bathtub clear

Escaping Winter in the Midwest
This is the perfect location. Quiet neighborhood (except some construction left over from storm cleanup). Very Close to all the activities of Anna Maria Island, but not in the hustle and bustle. Water access was great with a pet friendly beach less than 5 min boat ride away. The house was clean and well equipped. They had all the toys we needed. 6 bikes, 2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, and fishing poles. All new patio furniture, gas grill, and gas fire pit made it very comfortable to sit out by the water. Very friendly neighbors, and very very pet friendly area. Our black lab had a blast.
Jackie and Bob were great hosts. They checked in regularly, and were very responsive.
We have stayed in vacation rentals all over the country. Jackie and Bob are top notch, and the location is absolutely one of the best.

Prime location and Amenities
Beautiful pet friendly home, photos don’t do justice ! Owners were very responsive and helpful! Quiet neighborhood, perfect for boat owners as the house has a lift and a boat ramp close by! Amenities (bicycles/ Paddleboard/ kayaks) truly made it feel like a home away from home! Definitely will be back!
