Great location with everything you need for a fantastic, relaxing vacation! Walking distance to the beach and all necessities are provided (chairs, umbrella, etc). Property was exceptionally clean and comfortable with a great kitchen and bathroom. Perfect location on the island. We will definitely be back! Thank you!
We had a fantastic few days biking, kayaking, swimming in the pool and enjoying the quiet beach. Our first time on Anna Maria didn't disappoint and Rasa was a great host.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The home was beautifully decorated and immaculate. The home is in a quieter part of the island. Short and easy walk to the beach. Chairs and umbrellas available for the beach. The pool was a little oasis after a day at the beach. Cannot wait to plan our next trip!
We were very pleased with our time at this property. The house was very clean and well equipped. Quiet setting on North end of island with a short walk to the beach. Hosts were so nice, and we had no issues, but I am sure if we did, they would have made it right. Will definitely return. Thanks, Rassa & Family
Immaculately clean and well maintained unit. Small and simple but they have maximized space. Owners were very attentive and onsite. Pool and outside spaces were a little older and not quite as comfortable. Kitchen had the basics and everything working well. Ideal for a short stay.
Our stay was perfect! Rasa is the most amazing host. The house was absolutely perfect. It has everything you need and more! The pool felt like a spa and was conveniently located out our back door! Bean point is a beautiful 2 min walk. The pictures do not do the property justice. There is an adorable patio out the front door. It truly feels like you are in a single family home. We will definitely be back!
We have been coming to Anna Maria for quite a few years now and have found we love it by the point. This house was such a great location, only a block from direct beach access. The house was newly renovated from the recent hurricanes but everything was great and in working order. The street was quiet but provided short walks to the beach and Pine Ave. Lastly Rasa and her husband were fantastic hosts. Chatted and made sure we had anything we needed. Would highly recommend. The pool was also nice, kids enjoyed having it to come back to when they were done with the beach. 10/10
My family just got home from our trip & we had the best time! We definitely plan on coming back and staying with Rasa again. This location was perfect.
We enjoyed our stay here, great location, quiet, easy walk to the beach, clean, everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation. Rasa was so responsive to any need we had. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time staying here for our family spring break. It was perfect distance from town and the beach. The house had everything we needed. I was extremely helpful to have the wagon, beach chairs and umbrella for us to borrow. We would definitely stay here again.
Really enjoyed staying at this location- super quiet and clean. Rasa was extremely responsive. Beach was a short walk away through a shaded path- which was awesome, normally we’re walking home in the sun and it’s so hot haha.
Everything about this property was perfect. Great communication with the property manager, perfect location, house in great shape, plenty of space in the house and on the beach, the complimentary chairs and beach great was helpful since we flew. We would stay here again without hesitation!!!
This was the perfect location and exactly what we wanted for our family vacation! The home was very clean and no issues. The host provided beach towels, four beach chairs, and a umbrella. We will definitely stay here again! 😁
We stayed the week of Thanksgiving and enjoyed our stay. The location is a short walk to the beach close to Bean Point. You can also easily walk to Rod and Reel Pier, the City Pier, the park or Pine Avenue. The pool is great with plenty of deck room to lounge, eat or socialize at the tiki bar. The owners are very friendly and responsive. We would stay here again! Thank you, Rasa!
