Great location…three minute walk to the beach and short walk to Pine Street shopping and restaurants. We LOVED the private and warm pool that had shade and sun throughout the day. The outdoor shower with hot water was delightful. Beach chairs and a wagon were provided.

The property was much smaller than appeared in the photos. The house was also very sandy when we arrived, causing us to have to clean / sweep at arrival and also wash one beds bedding as sand was also on the sheets. The pool was heated nicely and the home had a great location.

Perfect little house

We just loved Ariel's by the Sea! It's the perfect size for 6 adults. The walk to the beach is probably less than 5 minutes, and unlike many other properties in AMI, we used the pool every day! Great location. We will definitely be back!!

The house and pool were perfect! So close to the beach, and the house was quaint, private, and clean. We loved spending time on the back patio and in the pool (in also has a light in the pool for evening swimming). Only two small issues while we were there: The pool might have a small leak somewhere because the water level went down a few times and needed some water added, and the beach umbrella provided was rusted out and broke on the first use. Other than that, there were three newer beach chairs provided and kitchen had enough to do some baking meal prep. House is such a short walk to the beach! And so close to everything on AMI. We had a great week and would love to come back someday!

AWESOME PLACE TO STAY

We LOVED staying here! It was clean, beds were comfortable, furnishings were beautiful, and location is amazing! It is only a block from the beach, and it's such a pretty walk! The washer & dryer died on the first night. They were out the next day and replaced it with a brand new stackable unit. Great people to work with! The bedroom with the twin beds is EXTREMELY tight. Not even enough room to have luggage in there. I would suggest bunk beds, so you would have more room to move and keep your luggage in there! We will definitely be staying there again!

House was awesome!

We had an AMAZING time. I would recommemd to our friends and family and would love to return again. The following list are not complaints, but most of an FYI. A coffee cup and glass were broken, we threw them away, so no one would get hurt. The lamp in the masterbedroom was broken, and the master bathtub was draining very slowly. There wasnt a pot holder or a clean cooking sheet. Hope this helps for future guests to also enjoy their stay.

Every year we have a destination vacation with the whole family, since it's about 30-35 of us we usually have to rent several houses and this year was no different as we rented a total of 8 houses in a 1 block radius. This house was exactly what we needed, 3/2 with a pool and the space for 6. The owners were very nice and great to communicate with, the house was clean, the kitchen was large and everything worked. I was lucky because the other half of the family had all sorts of issues like broken A/C & miss firing smoke alarms. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to rent in Holmes Beach/Ana Maria Island!!!!

Haus insgesamt gut eingerichtet, aber zu teuer!

Insbesondere Küche gut eingerichtet/ausgestattet, Aussenbereich aber wenig einladend und zu klein, professionelle Betreuung, Haus für das Gebotene insgesamt aber zu teuer! Anders als bei FeWo angegeben ( Miete in 2 Raten zahlbar) wurde der gesamte Mietpreis sofort zu 100 % abgebucht-es folgten unnötige Hakeleien mit der wenig hilfreichen FeWo Hotline!
