Cozy and quaint beach house
The house felt very homey, it was quaint and cozy, almost felt like a relative lived there and let me borrow it for a few days. Jeff communicated info about check-in and more a couple of days ahead of our arrival, and again the day of. Self check-in was a breeze since the door lock was digital and the code had already been provided. The house was comfortable, thoroughly clean, well equipped (full kitchen, linen closet with extra towels, bedsheets and blankets), with different spaces to gather (inside and out), comfortable beds, 2 full bathrooms, everything well stocked, even welcomed us with a tray of snacks and water bottles. My young child was always entertained with toys and games found in the living room tv unit. The house is on the older side but evidently kept well cleaned and maintained. Although we didn’t use any of it because we had brought what we needed, there was a storage unit full of beach chairs, toys, a cart, bikes, and probably more that was made available to use. Having the downstairs, outdoor shower was great to rinse off the sand when arriving from the beach. Location was also great, 2 blocks away from the beach and walking distance to restaurants and stores. I already recommended this place to a relative looking to go to AMI soon!

Beautiful location. Anywhere you want to be is walkable. Lots of restaurants, shopping, and other points of interest nearby. The beach is a very short walk, basically two blocks away. The photos on VRBO do not do the house justice. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable.

We were looking for somewhere new to go but wanted to stay in Florida. My daughter was dying to go to the Gulf Coast and we stumbled upon Anna Maria Island through Instagram. This vacation rental was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have had better hosts! It was very clean and there really isn't much you would need to bring with you. Jeff was very communicative and didn't hesitate to list his favorite spots when asked. The beach is literally 2 blocks away which was super convenient. This rental is also just one street over from the cutest little shops and restaurants. I would definitely rent a golf cart when you are here. We didn't use our truck at all as the golf cart took us everywhere. We will be back for sure!

Relaxing Stay in Anna Maria
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Jeff's place in Anna Maria. Our two boys, 4 and 6, loved the toys, games, and legos, and it was so nice having beach gear to use. Beds were comfortable and the location was perfect...just a quick walk to the beach and the bay. The unit was clean and cozy. We would love to stay there again in the future.

Fantastic location
We had a great time during our stay. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the Gulf and Bay. The house was very comfortable, with great beds and a comfy couch, perfect for mid-day naps. It was well stocked with all the items we needed. We made good use of the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and wagon, and we're very thankful that these items were available as they made our beach experience much more enjoyable.

Perfect location for relaxation, beach and fun!
House was very spacious for a family of four with teenage boys. We loved the screened in porch in the front and the downstairs screened in room for games and movie night. This place is located half way between the gulf on one side and the bay on the other. Both a short enough distance to walk or bike. Located near shopping and restaurants too but on a quiet street. Home had everything you need. Kitchen was well equip with staple items like oils, seasonings, sugar, etc. Lots of beach towels, beach chairs and beach toys. Even had a couple fishing poles. Overall a really nice place with a great location. Was perfect for our family's stay!

Great Vacation
We really enjoyed our week here! The house is clean, the kitchen well stocked and Jeff was a great host! Thanks, Jeff, for the new grill since the old one was rusted out--we used it! We enjoyed the outdoor living room and the games! Lots of beach equipment in the shed! The bikes were a great way to get around the island (FYI, the breaks on the white bike are not great--but we made it work) The screened porch is great place for morning coffee and evening card games! We would definitely stay again! Thanks for the good experience!

Classic relaxing beach house
Jeff and Susan are wonderful and responsive hosts. Their home is ideally situated two blocks from the Gulf, two blocks from the Bay. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance. The home is well equipped with everything to make for a comfortable home away from home. The beds are soft so if you like that you will be fine.

So good we stayed for a second time!
We love it here enough to have just completed our second stay at Ave Maria. Jeff and Sue work hard to provide everything their guests could want to make their stay comfortable and enjoyable, and an extremely quick to reply to any questions. It could not be in a more convenient location on AMI; just behind the wonderful Pine Avenue, with a short walk to wonderful Bean Point, some of the best restaurants on the island, the Pier or the free trolley stops! The beds are extremely comfortable - always an important consideration, and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking items - should you wish to stay home to eat. Use of the beach toys and bikes was greatly appreciated. too! Thank you both for making our stay so lovely again :)

Great property and the location to the beach and Pine Avenue can’t be beat. We vacation to AMI yearly to visit my parents and will definitely stay here again. We used the beach chairs, beach towels, wagon and toys daily. The bikes were also a great variety of sizes so that my husband and two teenagers went for daily rides. Just bring your bathing suit, this place has everything else ready for you!

Effortless Anna Maria getaway
First off I cannot say enough about the prime location this house sits on! Literally one street over is golf cart rentals and all the shopping you’d ever want! Amazing restaurants are less then a 6 minute walk in either direction. This house is a gem! We really enjoyed our stay! It was clean, the host was very prompt on all responses, great location, and a ton of amenities! We didn’t even get to use the down stairs area with games and covered patio because we were so busy but it is so cute and absolutely functional and perfect! Lots of parking! Quiet and nicely kept neighborhood. Can we talk about beach gear??? I was totally surprised! This house has everything you need from a beach wagon to chairs and beyond, the outdoor shower is a plus and the attention to detail where there are pavers connected to the shower area so you don’t step back on the dirt is perfect! Lots of toiletries and towels available for us! We hope one day to be returning one day to Ave Maria!
