A great vacation

The property was in a great location, close to the beach cafe with it's famous breakfasts and evening live music. Unfortunately, the pool and elevator were out of commission after the hurricanes, but Anna Maria Island was still fabulous. Many thanks to our hosts for keeping us informed

Comfortable stay. Roomy and nice floor plan. Elevator was convenient for bringing up supplies. Nice, well kept grounds and pool in a great central location close to Publix, restaurants, shops and Manatee Public Beach. Loved having a pier on the bay to watch the sunrise. Kayaks were locked. Was told they are privately owned and unavailable for use. Kitchen had plenty of supplies to prepare meals and a good amount of spices, oil, and staple items. Large refrigerator with plenty of ice. The master bathtub could use an update. Did not use the beach supplies since I brought my own, but there was a large closet with chairs, sand toys, boogie board etc. Upon the arrival of my adult son 9 days before leaving, he realized the guest bath toilet flapper was bad, as it was running constantly. We turned the water off, and notified the property manager. We were unable to use the toilet without adding 3-4 pitchers full of water to the back of the toilet to flush it, then re-seating the flapper seal manually. This was an inconvenience and was unfortunately not repaired during our stay. Plenty of games, books, and puzzles were nice to have. Guest TV did not have roku like the other and no channels were showing. Guessing it is for kids to use with a game system maybe. Thank you for having a reasonable price, so that I could afford to stay 30 days on my favorite island, visit my "healing beaches" and see those amazing sunsets over the Gulf. So grateful.

Lovely condo

The condo was great! It looked just as the pictures on-line; it was clean; the kitchen had all the items we needed; the beds and furniture were comfortable; and the grounds of the condo were well kept. We loved going to the pier, and the beach was a short walk away.

Excellent stay

The property was great. Really did have pretty mich everything we needed and then some. Kitchen was very well stocked with small appliances which made food prep a success. We didn't feel like we had to compromise any comforts of home. The rest of the home was very well-equipped too with tons of beach gear, towels, etc,. Close to everything, short walk to the beach, pool was nice. It was a great stay for us.

Wonderful Experience

My wife and I have a wonderful experience here. They place looks exactly like the pictures. It was so peaceful here and everyone we met were fun, friendly and helpful. For those who cook they provide everything you need. The pool is close by and everything you need is within walking distance. The owners are friendly and helpful. They care about your experience and make themselves available if needed. My wife and I will be returning. Thanks for a truly wonderful experience
