The condo worked perfectly for myself and my daughter. We could walk to the bayside in two minutes for the sunrise and 10 minutes to see the sunset on the ocean side. We enjoyed the location as we could walk to shops, resturants, trolley stop, kayak/bike rentals and just sit by the canal. The condo was nice and clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here on Anna Maria Island! The building complex felt very safe and peaceful, and the location couldn’t have been better. The beach was just perfect — crystal clear blue water and soft sand — truly beautiful!Everything was close by and easy to get to, which made our trip so relaxing. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, and we really appreciated that personal touch.We will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend!

Great accommodations that had everything, including beach chairs. Very close to very nice beaches, walking distance. Close to many options for dining. We didnt rent a car, but you can rent bikes or golf court, and there is also a free shuttle that takes you across the island. The home is very comfortable and clean. Recommend staying here.

Disliked: Communication
The stay was nice, but internet wasn’t working and we tried to contact the manager and never got a response. It lists a dock on the canal and we had no clue which one was the one we could use, no response. The kitchen didn’t have a lot of pans to use. We needed a pizza pan and no one was to be found. Beach chairs and umbrella were rusty and heavy. Just some suggestions that would make it more rentable for a beach families.
