Please note: Amenities are subject to change. Driveway parking is available for a maximum of one vehicle. Parking for additional vehicles is not available.
Saltwater pools do contain chlorine, though it's generated differently than in traditional chlorine pools. A salt cell in a saltwater pool uses electrolysis to convert salt into chlorine, which then sanitizes the water. This process results in a lower concentration of chlorine compared to pools that directly add chlorine chemicals.
You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. The minimum requirement for this home is no less than seven nights. The maximum occupancy is six.

Family house
the house is 2 blocks away from the beach (which is one of the best zone of Anna Maria Island); the pool area is equipped with everything you need to barbecue, to enjoy and have fun; the kitchen, rooms, baths, living room, and laundry of the house are suitable to accommodate 2 families. We definitely enjoyed our stay there.

Great place
Great place and location PLUS pet friendly. Well-equipped kitchen and home. Beach is literally 2.5 blocks away. We used our car to drop off heavy things at the dead-end to the beach access and then walked back. Super easy. Property manager was very responsive in answering any questions.

Dreams unfulfilled
We had problem after problem with this property. We had to have toaster replaced because the one on site was missing parts.
There were no instructions on how to use the hot tub. It took two visits from repairmen to figure it out
The pots and pans were atrocious. They were literally uncleanable.
It is sad that we (my wife and I) had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, et al. This is not what we expected from a property charging an enormous fee for what we got.
I will say that the management company was responsive to our issues, but the bottom line is we should never have had to complain.
I truly feel we left the property in better shape than when we first arrived. We would be sincerely embarrassed if this was our property.
We have high standards and this property fell way short of our expectations.
I am not trying to be malicious. I hope this serves as a wake-up call to to the owners and management group to do better.
It is quite unfortunate because we were looking forward to our first trip to Anna Maria Island and we were so disappointed in our entire experience.
