Amazing Week at Blue Sky

Our family could not have been happier with our week at Blue Sky. The location of the house was perfect. We were able to walk to the beach with the kids and beach gear. There was plenty of space for everyone and the house was very clean. The kids also had a blast playing in the pool.

The PERFECT Beach House Rental

We were visiting Anna Maria Island for the very first time and celebrating graduations and birthdays with family from all over the country. This house was so much like a home away from home and everyone had their own space… it was wonderfully well equipped in all areas, the kitchen, pool, floats, beach, chairs, and umbrellas. It was wonderfully clean, and all of the instructions were clear to make moving in and moving out a seamless and efficient process.The owner was lovely and always available for communicating when needed… It was a perfect location and it was truly the perfect beach house! No one wanted to leave and everyone wants to come back to this exact house!! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home!

2 Young familes and grandparents

The layout of the home was perfect for our needs. While Grandma and Grandpa stayed on the main floor, each young family had bedrooms and bathrooms on their own floor. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes so you don't have to constantly wash dishes. The pool size was perfect and was well supplied with floaties and toys. The garage was stocked with beach supplies - toys, 2 wagons, 2 coolers, chairs and umbrellas. On top of it all, the beach is only a block away!

Enjoyed our stay

House is in a perfect location steps away from the beach! The pool is perfect size with an actual hot tub that gets hot :) Living areas and bedrooms are comfortable for entire group we had of 5 adults and 4 teenagers. We have been to AMI multiple times and always enjoy the island! Sometimes it has felt crazy busy everywhere during spring break and didn’t seem as crowded this year. I’m sure was effect of hurricanes but for the most part everything seemed back to business as usual with restaurants and shops open.

Adult Children Family Trip

We had a nice time staying at Blue Sky. Our three adult sons and their S/O's had plenty of room and the location was perfect! Missy's home was well stocked for cooking and two beach wagons were available for hauling our grand baby, beach chairs and toys the short distance to the beach. Missy was prompt in responding to any questions that arose! Overall, a wonderful home and location!

Great Location & Family Trip!

We had so much fun at the Blue Sky house! The house was perfect for our week long stay with six adults and four kids. Our stay was amazing—close to the beach, within walking distance to the free trolly, and we got to enjoy the beautiful AMI sunsets every night! Missy was an awesome host! We would definitely come back! Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful house, Missy!

Amazing Thanksgiving week!

We just spent an amazing Thanksgiving week in AMI. There were 10 of us and the house was perfect for family fun! We were a bit worried about our trip after the hurricanes this Fall but Missy was so communicative with us prior to our arrival and then worked so hard to make sure everything was absolutely perfect during our stay! This home has the BEST location if you want fast and direct access to the beach and the pool and hot tub were such a bonus for us! The AMI locals are super kind and gracious and we were all amazed by the island’s resilience after the storms! I highly recommend this property and a vacation in AMI! Thank you Missy & Family!

Amazing

This place was a DREAM! I walked by the first time we stayed in Anna Maria and knew I wanted to stay there. It did not disappoint. Plenty of space for all, the pool was perfect for all ages, and the spa was just the thing we needed after a day of entertaining the kids. The walk to beach is easy, and the drive to everything else in short. Couldn’t ask for better!

Absolutely perfect!

We had such a great stay at the Blue Sky escape. Our extended family of 10 (ages 7 months to 71 years) had the best trip! The house had plenty of space for everyone, was stocked with pool and beach essentials, and was super clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and we appreciated the starter supplies. The house is a super short walk to the beach and has a beautiful view from the top deck. Missy responded to my messages quickly and was a very kind and helpful host. We could not have been more pleased with our stay and hope to come back again soon!

Spring break 2024

The location of this house is perfect for bike rides around the island as well as walking distance to the beach. My husband, myself and two of our boys, another family of four and two more family members were able to share this house. We all enjoyed the outside space with the pool and seating area. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers and a wagon. The house was one of the cleanest houses we’ve stayed in!! If I could make any suggestions it would be in the kitchen area…a griddle would be awesome for making pancakes and bacon. We all loved our stay on AMI!! Thanks, Melissa, for opening your home up to this Hoosier/Boilermaker Family!!

Book today; you will not regret it.

I don't know how to write a review that does this property/location justice. If you made it this far and are reading reviews, book this right away!!! My family has been going to FL for years, and this hands down was the best vacation we have taken. We will certainly be coming back. I'll start with the host; Missy is an absolute professional. She is everything you would want in a host; communicative, kind, thoughtful and pays attention to all details of your booking. The house is fantastic - looking at the pictures I figured this house would be amazing but the pictures actually don't do it justice. The house in clean and very spacious. And again; it has EVERYTHING you will need for your stay. We had our toddler with us and overpacked considering the house was well equipped for kids of all ages. Stocked with toys for the pool and beach. We had 9 family members here and when we were in pool in the backyard everyone kept saying how it felt like we were in a remote oasis. The location was top notch; I was expecting a short walk to the beach but was was surprised that it was right across the street. I have stayed at resorts right on the ocean with a further walk away than this house is. Anna Maria is an amazing little town, it has everything you need and is a cute little beach town where you can walk, bike or cart to anywhere you need. Again; everything about this vacation was incredible and if you book this house you will not be disappointed.

Blue Sky do!

Everything at this house was perfect. We brought minimal supplies (paper towels, tp, some spices and coffee). We did bring laundry and dishwasher soap as well. We did not find any laundry detergent. There are plenty of beach towels, water toys and floats. Also a beach cart. We did bring our own beach chairs. The pool is perfect with a 1/2 day of sun for this time of year. The evening were cool and a patio heater would have been a plus. We were not able to enjoy the lanai after sunset. The owners checked in and are very responsive. I would highly recommend this property for a large group.
