Basic, but very functional

The home had a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and a nice pool. It would have been nice to have a few more amenities when we arrived; such as, hand soap in the kitchen, a box of kleenex in each bathroom and a little more toilet paper.The papermatresses were very comfortably

Family vaca!

Overall great location for kids. Utilized trolly stop one block away. Private pool was nice to have. However, dishwasher did not cleam dishes and upon checking in we realized the dishes were not left clean. Lacked proper linens such as pillow cases and spare sheets.

FYI...

Location was FABULOUS!!! Weather could have been better but only mother nature can help us out on that 😊. Just some suggestions to possibly improve the stay at this unit for future guests... Follow up with housekeeping on the essential starter pack that is offered, which was not there when we arrived. Had I known, I would have put toilet paper, paper towels, etc. with my online delivery from "loaded kitchen", which I recommend. Everything I ordered was there in the unit when we arrived 👍 I realize plastic is on kids beds in the 2nd bedroom, but I would update the mattresses and bedding. Beds are a little tough to sleep on unless you don't mind a hard matress. Bed blankets were in need of replacement too. Overall it was a nice quiet area; easy access to the free trolley. Alot to do and see, but being the weather wasn't the greatest, we didn't do all the things we wanted, but would recommend Sato Real Estate rentals.

Great location

Awesome location! Less than a 2 minute walk to the gulf beaches. House has 2 couches vs what is pictured, which is nice. Tons of beach gear: Chairs, a wagon, and towels. Old school Florida/ Anna Maria island beach house. If you’re looking to maximize your time on the beach this is a great place. If you rent a golf cart, it is tough to charge as our side didn’t have an exterior plug that our extension cord could reach.

Epic location!

This home is all about the location… steps to the sand on a quiet stretch of emerald green water! Check in was very easy and the company was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Pool was beautiful too. Would absolutely stay here again!

Cozy and relaxing

Our family had a wonderful time and will book here again. The beach is so close and my little one enjoyed the pool everyday. The island doesn’t have many attractions but if you want to relax on a gorgeous beach this is the place to be

underwhelmed! needs completely new furniture, AC & no water pressure at all, no beach chair either.

Pluses: 1) this property is in a great location. Nice & quiet & a block to the beach. That is the main reason we booked this property. 2)pool area is cute. Tiny, more of a plunge pool & smaller than it looks in the listing but still very cute. Negatives: SHABBY! They did a few renos but cheaply. Wait till you try to squeeze into the corner toilet area in master, and I'm not a big person! Obvious flooding inside, doors are peeling & delaminating at the bottoms, closet doors falling off the sliders & don't really work well, kitchen appliances are rusty, old molding is all scratched & nasty, furniture is disgusting & so stained up. The couch is so nasty & so many stains we ended up putting a sheet on it because we didn't want to sit on it. The chair beside it is also all stained up & gross looking. The recliner chair doesn't work & leather peeling off. Bar chairs all stained & rust around the nail heads. No dresser at all- only 3 tiny drawers in a small WOBBLY chest in 1 of the closets for everyone's clothes in the house. The AC is CRAP, there is a note telling you can't set it below 74 ever! Which was so hot to my menopausal self, then it broke the end of the week & was 85 inside. They give you 4 bath towels & 4 beach towels for the whole week! SERIOULSY, 4 ADULTS ONLY GOT A TOWEL EACH FOR THE WHOLE WEEK! Had to wash a load every night! I did send an email to the PM co. about all of this. They sent over 2 more towels. 2! Be aware. You get what you pay for. My 1500 words are up

Great week at the beach!

We had a great week on Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach! The best part of the property is its proximity to the beach and local restaurants. The property is clean and spacious (pictures and description are accurate). Communication with the property management was easy, including checkin and checkout. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio in the morning and watching the sunset each night on the beach. A great spot for vacation!

The Perfect Spot!

We loved this place. The home was just what we needed for our boys, age 12. The pool was so nice to have at night, after a day at the beach, or a place for morning coffee. Location doesn’t get any better than this - 2 minute walk to beach. We can’t wait to come back.
