We were excited to find this roomy rental home close to the beach and to shops and eateries on the northern end of Anna Maria Island. Communication was great with the owner, until we checked in. We reported several maintenance items early on during our stay and never heard back. We called the maintenance phone number listed in the Guest Book but were told by the person answering that he had not been used by the owner for over 4 years, and he did not know who would do the requested toilet water leak and pool repairs we reported. The kitchen was reasonably stocked with utensils and dishware, the gas grill had a full tank, the pool was clean and the water temp warm, so all that was enjoyable, and the house itself was quite roomy with bedrooms and bathrooms reasonably clean & comfortable (except for the toilet leaks). The garage area was a mess and did have beach and pool items, but we were glad we brought our own. The game room was not of much use. We didn’t consider this rental the best value for money spent compared to other properties we have rented. But, if you come prepared with your own beach holiday provisions and it’s proximity to beach and eateries that is your priority, you can have an enjoyable stay with family and friends, as we did.
