Very nice spacious property. Great pool and private pool area. All minor issues were promptly addressed by the owner's staff. The commercial arcade system did not work but the owner offered to send handy man to look at it but we did not need it for our stay and said it could wait for repairs. Awesome partial views from the roof deck of both the bay for sun rise and the gulf for sun sets. Hide-a-bed in the game room was uncomfortable (they always are) so we barrowed the open matress from the bunk beds for that room this worked out much better for our son or bring an inflaitable matress and beding if you need this as a small 6th bed room. The open floor plan was awesome for large parties like ours (12) with penty of misc. cups, dishes, pots, pans etc. Easy walking access to the Gulf beach and a nice park on the bay side for younger children. A Publix and Walgreens are a short drive North or trolley ride as well as a couple souvenier shops. There is a free trolley that runs up and down the island but it seemed we always just missed the bus so it was often 20 minutes wait. USE THE APP for the bus line - scan the QR code and install it - this will help you better time the pick ups at the stops as its real time with the trolleys. The water was calm and warm on the gulf beach (unless its stormy / windy) with little cross current -- great for younger kids. The property was a bit pricy but overall made a perfect place for our large family gathering on AMI. Two Thumbs Up!

Great house, great location!

Family of 12- stayed for 7 days for week of July 4th. Excellent location, one block to the beach (easy walk!) Host was great, stayed in communication during the week. House is nice, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the crows nest and the porches. Spent lots of time out there and all safe for kids to play safely. Pool was great and back yard is private and cozy. Lots of extras (beach equipment, paper products, etc). The only thing I’d warn others is that there are A LOT of stairs (all tile-so can get slippery with sand or water) and three upstairs bedrooms (2 king rooms and bunk bed room) are very small- not a lot of room at all, especially if you have more than two people in a room. Overall, I’d highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous house, so close to the beach!! 10/10

Me and my family stayed here for our spring break and cannot say enough great things!!! VERY clean and updated. Easy to check-in/check-out, and included instructions for everything. Exactly what we were expecting based on the listing and pictures and more!!! Plenty of room for the large group that we had (including 2 under 2!)It is only 1.5 blocks to the beach but felt less than that, SO close and convient. We had a golf cart to take us to and from just in case, but there is also a beach wagon at the house to help carry things! The overall location was perfect too, close to all the right spots (Publix, Coffee House, Wicked Cantina, etc.)The host is also amazing, checking in with us pre-stay (i had a lot of questions lol) & during our stay frequently and gave us a direct line of communication should anything happen during our trip. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend and would absolutely stay here again!! 3 Thanks so much !!!

AMI Beach house

There were six adults in our 60s that rented this beautiful house. The bedrooms were very spacious, and we all had a king bed, which were all very comfortable. The upstairs rooftop deck was fabulous, beautiful views. The hot tub in the pool were a hit. The location is right across from the beach and easy to walk to restaurants and watch the beautiful sunset at night. Would definitely enjoy returning to this house.

Birthday Week at the Beach

We spent the week at this beautiful and beautifully maintained beach house celebrating a 70th birthday with 12 kids and grandkids. We could not have been happier with the accommodations and all the amenities. Missy was very responsive to any inquiries we had and was most helpful when we left some items behind. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach close. Overall, a perfect week! We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Magical AMI

For a second year we rented this beautiful property for a family vacation in November. As reports of the hurricane came in we became concerned about that happening. Melissa was very forthcoming with information about the state of the island and her home. I'm happy to report that Anna Maria is "The little island that could." The island and many restaurant are open and welcoming guests with open arms. The Blue Water Beach House was as warm and inviting as in the past and the beach picture perfect. The effort and tenacity of the property owners and work crew is to be truly commended.

Outstanding beach house

My husband and I travelled with friends and family last week and stayed in this house. The house was very well maintained, walking distance to the beach and close to many restaurants. We can't say enough about the backyard and pool. The landscaping truly made it feel like an island paradise. We spent most of the week swimming and cooking outside. The crows nest offers great views of the bay and the gulf of Mexico. Missy was easy to get in touch with and was very accomodating to our group. I highly recommend this house for a beach getaway. 10 out of 10 stars from our group.

Great place to stay!

We had a great weekend staying at this property! BIG house and the layout is perfect! Parking can get a little tight, especially if you have a large vehicle. The lake view is awesome and the sound of the waterfall next to the house was amazing! Location is prime for both the view and convenience to the stores nearby. The house came with everything we needed for our stay! Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Loved this house!

Our family of 7 adults and 2 six-year-olds had a wonderful time at this house! It can be hard to find houses with 4 king beds plus beds for kids and this was perfect. Nobody had the “bad room” - they were all great! The kids LOVED the arcade games and we all enjoyed the pool. There were two wagons, several chairs, and lots of towels and toys for the beach and pool. It was so nice to load everything up, walk just a few minutes, and be at the beach. Missy was extremely responsive, delivering batteries for a dead tv remote within the hour. Would love to stay here again. Thank you, Missy!

Great House/Location

We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Water Beach House. The house was great. It had everything we needed and never felt crowded for our party of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids). The pool and hot tub were perfect for when we got tired of the beach. Speaking of the beach- it was great as well. It was soft white sand and not very crowded at all, and the best part was it was only a couple minute walk. The owner, Missy, was very responsive and a joy to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Our first multi-generational holiday a success!

I was quite worried about planning the first multi-generational trip for our family of 8 (6 adults and two children)! My daughter had been to Anna Maria Island Holmes Beach area with her husband and first son in 2019 and just loved the area so much that she convinced us to take our first family holiday on AMI. The minute we pulled up to the house I felt good about it and entering the main floor living space, saw it was exactly as it appeared in the VRBO photos. Everyone loved their rooms…especially the 3 and 6 year old boys who shared the bunk-bed room, safely next to their parents’ room. My son and his financee had the 2nd level rom with the ensuite and loved it too! Every morning I would put the coffee on at 6:30am and head up to watch the sunrise over the bay…and almost every evening, we would enjoy the sunset over the gulf. The pool, hot tub, foosball table and retro games were a great way for everyone to relax and have fun! My daughter said the Bradenton Beach location was better than Holmes Beach as it was much closer to everything. There were a few issues, as you’d expect with any rental, but as noted in other guest reviews, Missy was extremely helpful and prompt in finding solutions. We hope to return soon to create more family memories in this house!

Family vacation

This is not the first time for Anna Maria but our first time with The Prout's, Missy was by far the best hostess we have ever had!! She is personable and always available if we had any questions. It was ready as promised, clean and smelled great!! The pool is why you would want to rent this house. It is small but with the winter weather it was warm every day!!! The hot tub was great. We usually go to the other end of the island for sand dollars but found 40 sharks teeth on the beach by the house. I would definitely recommend renting it. We had kids ranging from 7 months to 4 years and having their bedrooms upstairs was great. Hope to enjoy this house again!!!
