Great location to beach! House was a bit “worn out”. Master bathroom needs a good deep cleaning. Mold in shower and on the bathroom counter. All other bathrooms were clean, as well as bedrooms.I would stay here again, but request that the master gets a deep clean.

The location was great. It’s a short walk to the beach and right across from the trolley stop. The only negative was the toilets and how they flushed. There was a wagon full of beach supplies in the garage. The kitchen was well stocked. The pool and hot tub was used daily.

Fun For Shore

Great location and house with all amenities needed for the size of our family. Beds were comfortable. We had 1 issue with the sink and dishwasher but it was handled quicky and efficiently. We loved the pool and hot tub. We were impressed wirh the staff at Sato: from booking to check-out everyone was helpful, courteous and kind. AMI has been our vacation location for 5 years and For Shore is our favorite house! The staff at Sato are fantastic!

Perfect beach house

The check in/out was super easy! We flew in and stayed for a week. Having known what the house offered beach wise, would have been helpful. They had a wagon ( extremely helpful!), beach umbrellas and chairs, boogie boards and some floats. The house also had beach towels which was great. The kitchen had minimal utensils and dishes,but it was fine. Overall, the location was great with easy access to the beach. The pool was awesome also. It is off the main, busy road, so it could be loud as trucks came by at times. We really enjoyed our stay at For Shore!!

Like the place alot

The stay was great . Only thing we noticed from last year to this year was we didn’t have many towels . Last year we had alot , this year we have 2 big towels per bathroom. We washed towels every day . Very few beach towels also. Kitchen was in good shape but we found it not to be as stocked with things as last year. We loved our stay and would stay again for sure .

Great vacay at the beach

Great experience overall. Simple walk to the beach (2 blocks), amazing private pool and nice neighborhood. Only "negative", due to traffic on the main road (located next to the house) you get some noise, but nothing major. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Great property, great location close to the beach.

Great overall experience. The property is steps away from the beach and at a nice location very close to the entrance of the island. The pool and hot tub along with outdoor seating was great. We had issues with our A/C and an appliance, and property managers were very responsive to fix these issues during our stay. This property is right along the main road in and out of AMI, so there is a bit of road noise, but it didn’t negatively affect our stay.

Enjoyed the home, location was excellent, 2 very short blocks to public beach access. Home was sparsely stocked and had to immediately grocery shop for minimum essentials including tp and paper towels. The only seasoning in the cupboards was 1/2 small container of ground pepper, so it was kind of a bummer to have to shop for everything to prepare any kind of meal in the home knowing we would have to leave everything or waste it after using a couple of shakes of salt or garlic powder. Outside of some minor inconveniences, we enjoyed our time on stunning Anna Maria Island very much!
