Great location

Cuddlefish is a great location. Easy walk to the beach and a short ride to town or the fishing piers. This house was very comfortable for 3 couples. Lots of space to get together but room for privacy also.

Beach vacay

House was nice and as pictured except the master bedroom has been updated. Some annoying things were the extremely limited paper supplies (no kleenex, one roll of tp per bathroom, 2 garbage bags). Another annoyance was not being able to set the AC lower than 74. The master BR is hot!

Always check if there’s major construction going on next door before renting

There was ongoing construction of an in ground pool within in 10feet of the rental’s pool and patio. The noice and the smell was unbearable. We couldn’t use the pool or sit outside.

Family relaxation

We enjoyed the pool and sitting area. Great breeze every night. Loved the 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. Would have been nice to have a sheet that gave us closest beach entrance /closest trolley stops north bound and south bound and closest pharmacy and closest hospital. Not just phone number. When you have little ones and cell phone didnt always work nice to have that option in the house. We enjoyed our time wasnt far from beach once we figured it out. Pool was not as big as pictures showed but decent size for 2 young kids. Loved the area by the pool to chill . Was in shade nice breeze.

My Stay on Marina Drive

The house is great. It has lots of room and it also has a rooftop deck. That is a great addition to the rest of the house. The sun was limited on the pool due to trees all around but the pool was also great. Kitchen lacked good pots and pans if you decide to cook but we ordered out most of the time. Plenty of room to sit in the kitchen and outside near the pool. It is close to the free bus that runs up and down the island. Location is quiet and Pine Street is walkable if you want to get some good pastry near the Sandbar and a good walk in the AM. Beach is approximately 10 minute walk. Property is handled through a Realtor who is very attentive and responsive to questions and needs.

Lovely home

We had a great time. The beds are COMFORTABLE. The showers are awesome with great water pressure. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only wish the windows had screens so we could let fresh air in and turn off the AC.

Very enjoyable stay!!!

We had a great experience at this property. Quiet location, 5 minute walk to beach. Some new furniture has been added, living room now has a sectional sofa. Very comfortable beds, had everything we needed, including beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrellas, and a cart to wheel to beach. Directions say to keep the air conditioning temperature at 74°, which we did, so our only request would be to add a couple of additional floor fans to help with cooling. Highly recommend Cuddlefish Cove!

Perfect

We rented this location for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. Check in was simple and easy, the island was beautiful, the home was beautiful. The home was clean, water pressure was great, we had no issues at all. We are now considering a family trip with the kids to this location. It was a great experience.

Delightful week on Anna Maria Island

Very much enjoyed our stay at Cuddlefish Cove. The neighborhood was quiet, The private pool was a wonderful treat. Being close enough to the beach to enjoy sunset was a real treat. There was plenty of seating in the open concept living area. We treated ourselves - took advantage of the number of restaurants in the area - no cooking. I cannot comment on the how well stocked the kitchen was. The downside was the inadequate A/C in the top floor master bedroom, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The addition of a small A/C wall unit would be a good idea.

Lovely property.

This property has a great location close to the beach. It was spotlessly clean and is nicely maintained. The lay out was great for our family and the furniture and décor are tasteful and beachy. The people at the property management company (Sato) were very pleasant and helpful. My only issue with this property is that there were instructions not to set the air conditioning below 72 degrees. This meant that the house was never really cool enough for our family.

We had a great vacation here

A beautiful house and a good location with respect to the beach, about 10 minutes walk away. Car required. All questions we had was sorted quikly. The reason for not giving 5 stars is that we prefer king size beds, a few things were broken, but it was of minor importance as we had a wonderful stay. Recommend this house.
