Nice place
Couch very uncomfortable, chair very uncomfortable. no extra blankets , found hairs on floor in bathroom, and a hair on a cup in cupboard. Avoided using any dishes thinking prob all dirty. Living room rug needs cleaned or replaced. One upper cupboard door not attached correctly at top, left of sink. Other than that very nice place, nice location, close to the beach.

Lovely and Cozy
I am a frequent visitor to Ana Maria Island and I have often stayed on golf Drive where this property is located. I have to say it’s one of the best places I have rented with the best value. When it comes to reviews, it’s very dependent on what one is looking for. I was interested in a retreat type property which this location served with its close proximity to the beach, which is right behind the property and easily accessible. The unit was quiet with only one other unit attached and the rooms were clean. The property is well maintained and freshly painted. I was so grateful for the closed garage which protected my vehicle from the weather and the washer/dryer which i used often eliminating the need to pack a lot of clothes. I have this property earmarked as a favorite and if possible will rent again. Highly recommend.

Mother-Daughter-Daughter Trip 2023
We loved the location. Nearby was a quiet beach, convenient shopping, trolley stops (both northbound and southbound), and casual eating spots. Beach chairs, wagon, and umbrella were provided at the rental. My 80 year old mother didn’t enjoy the steps up to the unit, but had a great time overall.

Short walk to the beach/Trolley pickup right in front
The pros of this property are clear: cute space, big enough for a few people, a block from the beach and the trolley that takes you anywhere on the island picks up right in front of your door. Any issues I had during my stay were handled properly.
