MN January get away
We decided to get away from Minnesota’s -20 windchill -8 below weather to Anna Maria Island and chose this VRBO due to the pool as well as the hot tub. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as warm as we would’ve liked but we enjoyed the hot tub. The only bad part with the hot tub was it was only set to about 80-85° initially and wouldn’t heat up unless you left it on for hours and make sure you went back-and-forth to keep it turned on Once the bubbles stopped it cooled off again. The house was as described for the most part clean couple of defects especially in the master bedroom the floor was coming up and the Roku the batteries kept dying so we ended up buying batteries after batteries no big deal just a heads up to the owner. We didn’t use the grill because it was a bit dirty but we had all the pots and pans that we needed to cook inside the house though we did check out all the local fares quite a bit. Overall our stay was good I’m not sure that I would recommend it with anybody with little kids because they they had an awful lot of knickknacks bottles shells that could break or be spilled nice decor overall though just not little kid friendly.

Great Family Vacation
This is a charming cottage! We had plenty of room for our family of six and enjoyed the beautiful pool. It was very clean and we loved the decor. The location was great to the golf cart rental, beach, restaurants, general store and shops. If we had any questions regarding the property, the management company was very quick to respond. Our family had a great time and we will return.

Mermaid Cove
Overall, the stay was fine. The pool area was very pleasant. The property needs basic maintenance, such as lights that didn't work, flooring that was loose, leaky faucets, and other such problems. It also needed some basic cleaning. For the price charged, better attention needs to be given to the maintenance and cleanliness.

AMI vacation
The house is well located on the island to both sides and beaches, very nicely decorated and well outfitted with kitchen items, towels, etc. Our party included 6 adults which crowded the kitchen. Large amount of seating in the living room. The master bedroom is very large with a walk-in shower; the queen size bedroom also has a walk-in shower and the room with the twins is suitable for children. The common bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The pool is large but not easily accessible for older adults who might have impairment with their legs....no rails to get into/out of pool. It was our first time to Anna Maria Island and we enjoyed ourselves very much.

Family vacation at Mermaid Cove
We chose this location for 6 adults, all over 35 years old, and the house is perfectly situated for fun, food, and good times. The property managers were quick to communicate and address anything we needed. I’d highly recommend taking advantage of renting a golf cart to get around the island, and one of the rental facilities is literally a block from the house. We would like to come back!

Great stay in paradise!
Thank you for sharing this great property! Pool, bbq and hot tub area were amazing! Accurate listing, easy booking, great accommodations. Only note is the bed sheets on the master bed are so frustrating! They do not fit the bed properly so you are left fighting to keep them on instead of getting good night sleep. We eventually moved to another room and a smaller bed. Again frustrating given the price you pay for the property.

Property was extremely clean upon check in. Loved the house decor and set up for a family. The location was ideal with everything we needed within walking distance. The kids had a great time using the pool and hot tub every afternoon. Backyard pool area was really nice with a fun beachy vibe. We can't wait to come back!

Probably the cleanest beach house we ever rented. Had everything we needed. Convenient location. Our only suggestion would be different fitted sheets. They were to small and kept popping off. Would definitely stay here again.

A perfect week in June
Everything about this property was fantastic. Perfect location to get to the beaches (easily walked even in the heat), the shops and restaurants on both Pine and Gulf Drive (we ate ice cream every night at Dips). Pool was great. When we arrived there was some debris in the pool, but we just used the provided skimmer and ran the vacuum that was there. The kitchen has quite a bit in the way of utensils, pots, pans, bowls, cups and plates. We had a wonderful week and we were sad to have to leave to head home. We plan on coming back and would use this property again.

Almost Paradise
The cottage is nice, kitchen well stocked, the sheets on master bed kept popping off and the screens were broke so we didn't have fresh air the first three days but they were fixed. The window above master bed is a horrid idea. It does not open and has no covering so there is NO privacy from the neighbors who happen to have a spot light that shines in all night. The light bounces off the tv and onto the plexiglass headboard. It makes for a horrid night sleep and is not romantic! The master bath is great but the two others smelled like a swamp. Fortunately we only had guests the first three days so they left before it got too bad. The pool, hot tub and back yard are very nice and there is plenty of lounge furniture and a decent grill. It's private but the pool is on the small side and it is shady. That might be great for you if you are not into tanning. It's nice hearing the church bells from the cottage and great walking distance to the pier on the bay side and restaurants. It's only a few blocks from gulf side beach access. There are two parking spots. Appliances and kitchen are great. Guests beds are not fabulous but they were clean and the place is decorated very cute. It's a good place for a family but not so much for two couples. The pool is outside the master so that could be akward but for our group it was fine. Hooks at the front entrance would be helpful as well as somewhere outside to hang wet towels and swim suits. I would bring extra towels for sure. Overall we enjoyed our stay but by the end of the week we were a pretty sleep deprived due to the light and sheet issues. We would probably use Soto again.

Fun at the beach
We loved staying here and getting to swim all week. With Covid and growing numbers, we hit the beach early before crowds each day and then swam all afternoon. we cooked in all meals and the kitchen had what we needed. it is a few blocks to the beach so we rented a beach cart and wagon to haul our stuff. We had a great time.

A bit of paradise in paradise
This is quite the amazing property for a couple or a family. I took my wife and 4 kids (20, 16, 12, 5) for a week vacation to Anna Maria Island and this property was just outstanding. Clean, well decorated, a beautiful pool and outdoor area, and pretty much everything we needed supplied in the home. It is within walking distance of Pine Avenue where a large number of shops, restaurants, ice cream, donuts etc. are located. The Beach Bum golf cart rental company is literally 100 feet away. The location of the property is perfect, the home is warm and inviting with a great beach vibe, and everything about our stay in paradise was made better by Mermaid Cove! We highly recommend this property and will be back in the future.
