This place was great for our big family. The walk to the beach was a very short couple of minutes. They provided 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, a wagon & boogie boards. The living room was really big and we wished there was more seating so we could fit the whole family in there. The pool was the perfect size, but got pretty hot during the day time.

Our stay on Anna Maria Island was fantastic. The house was absolutely beautiful, and it was such a bonus that three of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The pool was wonderful, the linens were great, and the screened-in porch overlooking the pool was truly spectacular. The location could not have been better—an easy walk to the beach and close to tons of restaurants. We would definitely come back to this beautiful place again.The only downsides were the lack of basic supplies. There were no cleaning products, no broom or dustpan initially (though the owner did drop one off once contacted), and no essentials like salt, pepper, or extra paper towels. Each bathroom had just one roll of toilet paper, so it’s helpful to plan to grab a few basics at the store.Overall, the home itself is gorgeous, the stay was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our time there. Still a 5-star stay!

Great place! Location was perfect!

This was my first time to Anna Maria and this house was perfect for my family. Easy short walk to the beach. The pool was clean and the temperature was just the way I like it. The screen porch was a nice addition just to sit and relax. The house is very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and cookware. I had a minor issue and the realtor addressed it right away. The only thing I would suggest is for the house to have a cooler available to take to the beach. Overall, I would definitely stay there again. My family had a great time!

Family Trip

The property was as advertised. We had an issue with the microwave and oven but the property management company was extremely quick to resolve our concern. The only issue we had were the cockroaches. There were three very large roaches in the house. May be a Florida thing, not sure. The house was super clean though.

Fabulous!

First, this house is amazing! We have a large family (six kids) and it is SO hard to find an affordable and family-friendly place to stay. This place was perfect! From the large family room and open kitchen, to the great dining table and bedrooms that were perfect for our arrangement, we could not have been happier. The distance to the beach was amazing--just walking a block and a half is always good, but with this many people, it was a godsend! And the house had chairs and towels and a beach cart--not having to pack that made the trip even more enjoyable. The house has absolutely everything you will need and some of the best cooking gear I have encountered in a rental property. It's also located within walking distance of some of the shops and restaurants. And I cannot say enough about the team at Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals. They responded quickly to every single one of our questions and requests before and during our stay. They were absolutely concerned with our specific family and our specific trip and responded to every need we had. We were not just another renter to them. You will not regret this house or booking with this company!

Comfortable home

Had a very fun week in AMI for spring break. Happy Place was a very comfortable home with lots of space inside & out to relax. The walk to the beach was easy and beach was not crowded at all in our area. No public bathrooms on the beach. Surprisingly, we spent a lot of time out by the pool. There were 4 full loungers and lots of other adirondack chairs and small drink tables. I found the house location to be perfect, walking distance to some bars/restaurants/stores. There is a fridge in the garage which was great to have for storing drinks and leaving the kitchen fridge for food. Wish I would have known this before we arrived because I would've bought more food on the grocery trip into town to avoid extra grocery runs. We did not use the TV in our room but I believe all of the others did and I was surprised all of the bedrooms had TV's. Only thing that was frustrating is they provide just one "starter" item like one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one papertowel, one trash bag, etc., and there was no liquid dish soap or hand soap, so we had to buy all of those items. Found it a bit ridiculous for the price of renting this house. At the very least they could have a box of trash bags, dishwasher tabs, new sponges, liquid dish soap, etc. Overall gave it a 5 star because we had a lot of fun and were very comfortable in the home. I would stay here again.

Perfect for group of friends

We had a great time. Not sure about vacationing in Florida during hurricane season but the weather was absolutely perfect! The 3 minute walk to the beach was nice. The house is lovely! Perfect for 10 people, plenty of seating in dining room. The screened- in porch very nice for relaxing or playing poker or chess. Used the pool quite a bit. Garage is well stocked with pool/beach toys and chairs. Very nice. Plenty of nice large beach towels. Plenty of bath towels. I made the mistake of bringing towels and we did not need them. You can pack light as the laundry room has a wonderful washer and dryer. Kitchen is well stocked with any gadget we needed. Cooked most of our meals at the house. Has a nice Weber gas grill. Loved the water pressure in the shower. The bathrooms are small but had everything we needed.
