Dog-friendly house w/ private heated pool & entertainment - walk to the beach

Au Soleil

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sunshine and beach vibes are a given at this luxurious island rental, where you'll be within walking distance of the beach while enjoying a private pool in your backyard! Feel free to bring Fido along for the fun, because this house is dog-friendly.

Located just one block from the sand and waves, it's easy to skip down to the beach for some sunbathing, beachcombing, and whatever else you fancy! For activities on land, hop on the free local trolley and visit any of the bars, restaurants, or cafés on the island. Don't worry about parking for your large group - there's space for one car in the garage and four cars in the driveway.

With comfort like this, you won't even have to explore the island to have a great time. Soak up sun rays with a good book on the private pool deck while the kids play a game of Marco Polo, or research activities for the day using the free WiFi. A fully equipped kitchen lets you whip up home-cooked meals for the group and a gas grill is perfect for barbecuing on those beautiful tropical days.

When you need a break from the heat, settle down in front of the flatscreen TV for a movie. End the day by watching the sunset with your beverage of choice. A private washer/dryer lets you take care of any laundry you may have.

You'll have all the comforts of home at this lovely beach rental - why settle for anything less? Book today!

Outstanding Beach Vacation

We had an amazing time on our 4th of July beach vacation. The house was clean, large, and all the amenities were great! They even had a pack n play, kids toys, and a booster seat. With three small kids this was the perfect rental with a pool. Also it was walking distance to the beach.

2 weeks of fun in the sun

This house is really good, lots of space for a large group, but the outdoor space with the pool and hot tub is fantastic. And it's just a short walk to the beach.

Great house, perfect location

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was spacious for a family of 7 adults. It was in a quiet residential area but close enough to walk or ride bikes to the beach, shops and eating places. The backyard had beautiful landscape around the pool. We would definitely stay again!

Fun time

The house was beautiful and clean. The pool was fantastic,the weather was bad one day but what a good pool day. The only draw back was the trolley is quite a walk and for us conservatives the house blocks Fox News channel.

Great Value at the Price

This is the best place we have stayed in on Anna Maria Island in our 15 years of visiting. The house, pool, amenities, and location are top-notch. The extras, specifically the bikes are in poor condition, but it wouldn't take much to bring them and any of the other items noted up to par.

Girls Getaway

Wonderful property and great location - even better than the pictures! Perfect space for five college sorority sisters celebrating our 65th birthdays this year. Open floor plan with lots of windows and plenty of comfortable seating. Outdoor pool was fabulous with plenty of chaise lounges and a covered outdoor seating area. We will definitely book this property again!!!

Great pool and location

Group of 5 girlfriends getting together. This is our second time in AMI. We loved the house. The location was perfect to walk to the beach. We spent lots of time around the pool and lounging in the hot tub. Each of us had our own room and the kitchen was stocked well to prepare meals. We would stay here again.

Relaxing Oasis

We had such a great time here. The house was so beautiful and clean. Very large and spacious. My whole family had such a wonderful time and enjoyed the house so much. We had a minor issue with the pool alarm. Vacasa was so easy to deal with. Quick response and amazing communication. I am looking forward to renting here in the future.

Loved this house!

This was a great house with plenty of room for 6 of us. We loved the pool oasis! One thing the owners can’t help is the required window alarms. We had one go off during the night because it fell off of the wall and another to go off during the night because the battery was low. That was so annoying. Overall, we had a good experience. Just a short walk to the beach.

Au Soleil Dec. trip

We loved everything! The layout was perfect for our family. The outdoor area and pool area was excellent. The Murphy bed was very comfortable to sleep on. All the brochures, guides, maps and manuals were extremely helpful. Vacasa was great to work with. The pool guy was very nice. We loved the walk to the beach, and the beach itself. There are a ton of little extras throughout the house. Everything was in great working order. The starter set up was great. My family always wants to try different things each trip, but I want to comeback. The family ALL loved the house, and our trip ended on a positive note.

Poor Property Management/Older Appliances

We left early due to older faulty refrigerator that did not keep our food cold. We had to throw out all our food. After 24 hours of notice of fridge problems, property manager sent out a smelly, dirty, wobbly mini-fridge. No one ever followed back up with us. Just know this is an older property and local property manager customer service is poor if you have problems.

Great location and layout!

The house itself is perfect for a larger group and families. The layout is nice. 5 bedrooms and Having 3 bathrooms was great also. The beds weren’t the best and the floors definitely need a good cleaning. We hand to buy a mop because we couldn’t take how dirty the floors were. But the bathrooms and rooms were very clean otherwise. The house could use some updates. The back patio with the pool were fantastic. We paid for heating and the last day the pool heater shut off l. We called Vacasa but there wasn’t much they could do. They send a rep but he said he had nothing to do with the pool heat. So that was a bummer (considering we paid for that) we used the grill and the bikes in the garage. Overall it was a great stay with room for improvement!

Great house and location, minor maintenance issues need to be addressed

We have stayed at this house multiple times and love the location and layout for our large family. Unfortunately, on this trip we encountered some maintenance issues which show that the local team is not doing a good job staying on top of property repairs. For instance, the grill has a leak at the primary valve making it unsafe to use and we never received a response to getting it fixed though a new tank of gas was delivered. Also, several blinds need to be replaced, the master bathroom pocket door does not properly close and there are electrical issues with the lighting posts around the pool. Fingers crossed these issue are addressed, we will hopefully be back soon.

Great house for larger groups

Overall, this was a great house for a larger group. The layout of the house is great, with the bedrooms isolated in the back, and easy access to the pool from both the back bedroom/living space and front areas. Walking distance to the beach and nearby restaurants. There were some issues with the window/door alarms, and maintenance was still there at check in. Some issues were not fixed (a broken closet door), but nothing mission critical. Some issues with entry/exit in that we couldn’t lock the front door using the door code. Only unlock. The floors are pretty dirty (visible dirt on feet when walking barefoot and accumulation on socks), so they could do a better job mopping between stays. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, plates, cookware, etc., but not with basic staples for cooking like salt/pepper, oil, etc. None of this is a major concern, just room for improvement.

Great property, if the property manager cared

Checked in to a cold pool and spa on Saturday and checked out to a cold pool and spa. No one gave any cares to fix it or refund me for a big problem communicated day #1. A bunch of people came to the property (interrupting our stay even more every time), but none of them were there to fix it. They kept saying they were checking to see if our claim was real and checking on the condition of the property. So basically no one cared that the entire reason I overpaid to stay in this house specifically was so my group of friends and I could swim. We barley even were able to try and get in and literally no one cared at all. I paid way too much for 3 days in a house near the ocean with no functioning pool or spa.
