This was hands down the best place we have stayed at in AMI. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Lots of bedroom space to accommodate all our needs, the living space was great, the kitchen had all the plates, pots, storage you could need. Definitely hoping to stay here again next year!! Very close walk to a nice part of the beach and close to all the nearby restaurants and stores, excellent location. The hot tub was hot, unlike some other places we have stayed at where the hot tub was luke warm, the pool was very nice and the slide was an added bonus for the kids. Couldn't say a bad thing about this place.

Lovely space to stay with family

This was a great space, a block and a half from the beach, with great space for two families. We loved the location, the flow of the space, the kitchen and the pool. The only problem (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) was an ongoing difficulty getting the hot tub to heat. We contacted the folks running the property and they tried to help, but something about the controls made it work only some of the time.

We rented a gold cart so it enhanced the overall experience of being on the island. Definitely recommend. Overall the unit / home get comfortable and safe. A memorable time had by all.

Perfect Family vacation

Our group of five (Mom, Dad, Grandma, two girls) loved our two weeks in Daydream! The house ist perfect, it has everything you need in a home. We felt like home from the first minute! The towels were very fluffy and looked like they were new. We used the Pool and Beach towels as well as Beach stuff from umbrella to chairs and beach toys nearly everyday. The Island is beautiful from North to South and we enjoyed the beaches, the little shops at Pine Ave and several restaurants ( The Sandbar was just beautiful in the early evening, the Donuts at Pine work at every daytime, the Rodℜel restaurant at the pier just to mention a few!) We for sure will return to Anna Maria Island and will check the availability of Daydream! Nicole and Family from Germany

Exceptional Property!!!

The best VRBO property we have ever rented! The pool was amazing and everything the online pictures show. The interior is immaculate and beautifully customized and decorated. The kitchen was stocked to make a chef happy, and there were more than enough pillows, blankets, bath and beach towels for our stay. We felt welcomed and cared for because of the owners mediculous efforts in making our stay almost perfect! You will not be disappointed if you stay here. And a great big shout out to AMI Accommodations who gave incredible service and great recommendations - thank you!!

Excellent location, well furnished, awesome pool and comfy beds!! Plan to return next year.

Everything we needed was there. Outdoor area worked well for us, and the kids loved the slide. Hall bunk beds were a hit with 5 and 10 year old! Key pad entry would make it more convenient, no keys to keep track of and master bath could use a door for privacy. Thanks for a great week on the island!

The Best!!!

This was hands down The Best House we have ever stayed at on the island. Everything you could possibly need is included and the pool/hot tub were amazing. The beach is a two minute walk down the street. We only made one call as we wanted the pool to be a little warmer and they came out right away. You will not be disappointed with this property. Would book it again in a heartbeat!!!

We loved it here!

This was by far our favorite rental that we've had on AMI. This is our 3rd time coming to the island. The backyard is great, with so many fun things. My girls liked playing games during the day under the tiki hut, and the nice white lights at night. The waterslide, pool, and hot tub were fantastic, as was the temperature of the water! My only complaints are that the bath towels were ratty (some), and there were not enough spatulas in the kitchen (only 1 proper one). Other than that, a perfect vacation here. Close to the beach, away from traffic, about 1 mile to Pine. Loved it!

Relaxing, home away from home!

The house was amazing and had ALL the comforts of home. The kids (and adults) loved the pool and slide! The hot tub was not heating when we arrived but after a call to Anna Maria Accommodations, it was fixed that day!! (Staff at Anna Maria Accommodations were extremely friendly and helpful!!) There is only a short stroll to the beautiful beaches!!! (Even had beach chairs, wagon, umbrella, & sand toys available to use.) We will definitely visit AMI again and would love to stay at Day Dream in the future!!! WONDERFUL, RELAXING VACATION!!

WOW— Best beach house ever!

We are a family of six— with two infants! We were worried that any beach trip would feel like a lot of work, but we were wrong. This house has every amenity you can think of. It's spacious, luxurious, so well decorated and extra comfy (the beds alone were a dream to sleep on!). The pool was the perfect temperature for all, the water slide a big hit (I think the adults enjoyed it more than the kids!) and such a close walk to the beach. Added bonus: A cart to lug all your stuff to the beach, plus beach chairs, plus sand toys, plus floats for the pool! As an amateur foodie who loves to cook, I have to also say that the kitchen is VERY well appointed— there wasn't an appliance, pan or tool I needed that was not stocked. We will never forget this relaxing vacation and we can't wait to come back! Thank you for this Day Dream of a house!

Amazing island retreat for the whole family

This property is perfect with exceptional attention to every detail. We were in awe everywhere we looked. The backyard oasis was a favorite for the whole family. We traveled with 5 adults and 2 children and had plenty of space to enjoy both family time and private time. The house is configured making the most of all space with basically 2 master suites, 2 additional bedrooms and a set of bunk beds in the hall. The amazing kitchen had everything we needed and more to enjoy family meals or pack lunches for the beach which was only a short stroll away. The backyard space was used from morning to night and enjoyed by all! We couldn't have expected anything nicer and the entire family will remember this vacation for years to come. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to experience such a truly amazing place and hope to return in the future.
