Location is perfect, cute little duplex with a very comfortable king bed. A/C works great. Host is very responsive. The beach is so close we didn’t use the pool. We brought our e-bikes and rode everywhere. Really nice laundromat nearby. Only issue might be construction happening on the other side of the duplex.

Little Dream Week

We had a great time, with a comfortable cottage so close to the beach to relax in. The management team answered all our questions patiently and were quick to help. Having blue skies, white sand beaches and beautiful sunsets also made it a wonderful week.

This property is perfect for 2 people. It is in a great location. However, the one thing not mentioned in the description is that it is a duplex. The day we arrived there were construction workers next door. It was like they were in the same room with us. The noise was unbearable and went on until 7pm. I called the management company, and they said they were not aware of the construction even though they manage both spaces. I asked if the construction was going to be going on all week and if it was would they please move us to another location. The gentleman I spoke to said he would check. Long story short, I never heard back from him. Luckily, the workers did not come back until Friday morning. We left on Saturday. Cute property but I would ask if anyone will be occupying the adjoining space before booking.

Relaxing Trip

A much needed girls trip, we had a great time. Better for a couple though as it only had one bedroom. People were so friendly. We loved the Trolly and walking around the island. It was nice to see new things being rebuilt. I’m sure when we go back more things will be Open. The beach was just across the street and we used the chairs provided which was nice. The only negative was the place next door was under repair and we were woke up to contractors yelling and pounding. Wish the pool was bigger, with so many people using it we were not able to enjoy it at all. We did take into account of the situation and We will definitely be back and recommend this property.

Romantic getaway for our anniversary

Our recent escape to Little Dream on Anna Maria Island was amazing. This one-bedroom rental was a haven for us as a couple. The proximity to the beach was unbeatable, just a short walk away. The interior decor had this coastal charm that felt straight out of a home design magazine, serene and cozy. The bedroom was a highlight with a super comfy bed, and mornings were spent on our private patio, surrounded by palm trees. The hosts nailed the details, providing a fully equipped kitchen for our meals and thoughtful items like beach chairs to make our stay so easy. The management staff was incredibly helpful, offering local tips and making our stay feel like a breeze. Leaving the island was tough, but we departed with beautiful memories and a strong recommendation for anyone seeking a peaceful and romantic getaway. Five stars without a doubt. We'll see you next year for our next Anniversary trip!

Great location, terrible communication and consideration f

My family and I booked this vacation months ago. The check-in process was very smooth and the location was great. However, when we went to open the pull out mattress for my son to sleep on there was moldy food on the mattress as well as a huge disgusting stain. Overall the cleanliness of the condo was not great. We called right away and received a call back Monday. We asked to speak to a property manager. It is now two weeks past the time that we stayed here and we have still not heard anything back after several attempts to contact her. My husband, myself and my son were forced to sleep in the one queen size bed for the time that we were there because the mattress on the pull-out couch was so bad. The timing of our stay was really unfortunate. We drove from Wisconsin to Florida and on our way, The world health organization declared a pandemic and encouraged social distancing. Due to the recommendations, we did not feel comfortable having strangers come into the condo after we took precautions to disinfect and clean all services for our stay. We did not want anyone coming into the condo but would have liked a call from the manager to discuss other options such as possibly switching to a different condo or a partial refund, or some kind of compensation. The sleeping arrangemet was so uncomfortable, as well as the quickly changing health concerns from COVID 19, that we left early. I am so frustrated and upset that the manager still hasn't contacted us to offer any resolution or even to talk about our concerns. I think this is really poor customer service and definitely made a negative impact on our stay.

Cute place but wouldn't stay again!

The 2 ac units and all ceiling fans didn't get the place below 80. It was super stuffy and hot in this place. And the biggest disappointment was the heated pool that is no where near the cottage. You have to walk or drive to another complex to use that pool. Not convenient at all. The place was stocked with towels, bedding, and something for the beach. The bathroom is tiny but has a big shower. Good thing it wasn't expensive!!!
