The unit we were in was stocked with all the cooking utensils we needed. They had a grill out by the pool and a bag a charcoal was provided in the unit. Staying here is more a campground feeling compared to other rentals in the island. That was ok with us. Very nice tree covered area . The way the area used to be before the mega condo .One thing with the unit was the bathroom door stuck , which means you had to pull the bathroom door rather hard to exit. When your in bed at 330 am and your son is stuck in the bathroom and you wake up still drunk from the night before thinking someone is breaking in from all the commotion , it's kinda scary. My biggest issue here was the management company. We arrived to the unit around 330 pm to the address of the unit , 5955 Midnight Pass Rd to find the office empty. After wondering what we were supposed to do I called all the numbers I could find , including the property owner and they told me to 124 Columbus Blvd to check in. Ok , not a big deal. Wish I had a heads up before hand of where to go , driving 14 hours straight doesn't put one in the best of moods , we drove down and checked in. They told me at check in WiFi was only available at the " club house " which was mentioned NOWHERE on the VRBO listing . LUCKLY the owner had it in his unit. Unfortunately we had some work to do and sitting at a club house was not really an acceptable option. After check in , My wife and I wanted to hit the beach for the last hour and a half of sunlight (we were here over New Years ) and the key fob to access the beach was missing. By the time the management company found one and got it to me , we had enough time to watch the people leave the beach . The next day I inquired about the court Games that were in the office , the office no one occupies , they said sorry no court Games. Then I asked if we could bring a bike and leave at our cottage for the 4 days while we were here to use around the island , they said no to that too. So I had to drive 20 mins ( holiday traffic ) to rent bikes for 3 hours . Now keep in mind they charge a condo fee of 18$ a day on top off what you pay for the unit, which included WiFi , bike rental , beach access, parking. . Would i stay in this unit again , yes. It has a cool place with a beachy feel to it. I don't care for the 18$ a day extra fee charged by the MGMT company. I don't really see a value in it. We found this place from VRBO and was very happy to get this place on short notice for the New Years and the place was as expected. the place was nice and this post is in no way a reflection of the owner , unit or the grounds. Just the MGMT company.

4th rental home My husband and I have stayed at on AMI. They all have pros and cons but this one…read morehas been ultimately a horrid experience. First off the sheets were really dirty upon arrival, cruddy, hairy, ear wax particles, bodily fluid stains, greasy comforter, and even a variety of bugs...the worst. Two of the main beds of a 4 bedroom home we couldn't utilize until the following night. The linen company came out and fixed it the next day so I was pleased with that, however then the bug problem. Two large different kinds of roaches inside (Has me worrying I need to fumigate my luggage before I go back home) and first time I've ever been bit up so bad on this island. Love bugs a nuisance, but there are millipedes, mosquitos, small silver bugs and bug bait in the utensil drawer. I know the other properties we stayed at sprayed regularly so we never experienced this before. Additionally we came from almost a week in Orlando with no big problems whatsoever or bites- this isn't just typical buggy Florida. There were ant hills all over the patio near pool my husband tried to wash away. The layout is perfect for us and has mostly positives, but the negatives are killing a trip we've been looking forward to for a long time. The dishes in the cabinets were dirty upon arrival, the rental company left us a gift of paper towels and dishwasher soap (how ironic) to wash the dishes someone else dirtied. There were towels in the dryer that again I had to fold and put away. Now I'm washing pillowcases I smashed bugs on. The curtains in the master shower are moldy. The floors were dirty upon arrival also, someone else's q tips on bathroom floor, rug by bed had not been vacuumed. Now the worst part is nobody has come to clean the pool. The pool is cloudy and dirty with lots of bugs and a nasty film floating on top. The rental company says it's cleaned every Thursday so that means we began with a dirty pool from other folks and it's just not even usable anymore. I'm pregnant and will not put my 4 year old in that pool. Other homes we booked have the pool cleaned twice a week and never had any issues with dirty pools. At first my husband and I loved the layout without knowing what our stay would entail and thought we'd want to come back again not anticipating these deal breakers, and we noticed the new management company jacked the rates up several hundred dollars prob to pay for their call center in Seattle. The Owner has not been able to solve these large issues quickly- they are too busy trying to find cheaper pest companies while we have to worry about killing mosquitos and cockroaches in or beds tonight and can't use the pool we payed for a week of. The other homes we have rented left instructions and helpful info, the days to expect the pool cleaner, how to turn on hot tub, etc., they left nothing, but just informed half way through our stay it's on some portal. We are so bummed! I wouldn't book another home with the management company as I would prefer a company that has an arrangement when something like this goes wrong they have an agreement with the owner to fix it under a certain amount without question! Anyone who is debating prices while someone's vacation is ruined is pretty awful.

The home is beautiful, luxurious and so comfortable and clean! I was lucky to meet the owners Luke and Lisa, they are the nicest people and take a lot of Pride in their home. They happened to be walking by while I was staying, they are so warm and welcoming and told us some great spots to check out on the island. I know they recently changed management companies so that is probably why Amanda D had such a bad time. I had a completely different positive experience! I have heard many negative reviews about Vacasa (who was the prior management company) we booked through Salty Mermaid Real Estate, which is a small boutique office on Anna Maria Island. It is best to stick with the small boutique companies instead of large corporations, that way you get personalized local service. Amanda D's description is in no way shape or form what I experienced. We found our perfect place, Its a dream! Its spotless, a lot of attention to detail, Centralized location to everything on the north end of the island. Definitely would recommend staying here

They offered us movies to rent out because we had two small children. I did make the mistake this time and accidentally booked the studio which was entirely my fault. It comes with a parallel parking spot which is super tight and that is almost impossible to park in so unless your 007 I'd recommend trying to park on the street which can be extremely crowded, or book another cottage. They have beach umbrellas, bicycles, boogie boards etc. you can take with you to the beach which is just a few steps away. You walk over a ramp and it's there. The pool is heated and nice after a day at the beach. You also get a complimentary ticket for either two free cocktails or one appetizer at the sand bar which is not a far walk on the beach. The food could be better, but the rum buckets are where it's at. They're kinda weak so I always ask for an extra shot of rum. Now the beach. So crystal clear, so warm, just perfect. Reminded me of being in the Caribbean. There are tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance or you can rent a golf cart. We will be making our annual trips here to relax, unwind and take in the beauty that is Anna Maria.

The location is unbeatable--just a short walk to the world-famous Siesta Key Beach, and close to all the restaurants and shops in the village. The amenities are what truly set Harbor Towers apart: two heated pools, Har-Tru tennis courts, a fully equipped fitness center, a marina on the intracoastal, and beautifully landscaped grounds. One of my favorite things to do is sit by the seawall in the early morning, enjoy the peaceful sunrise, and watch for dolphins--it's the perfect way to start the day. The community is welcoming, well-managed, and continues to improve each year. Whether you're here part-time or full-time, Harbor Towers feels like home. I'm proud to be part of it and always happy to share this special place with family and friends.

In…read morethe future I would likely go direct to book at one of the hundred of rentable accommodations in Siesta Key since I think that may save a few $. The resort itself is nicely laid out and the best part is it is about a half hour walk to the fabulous Siesta Beach and about a 1.5 mile walk to the village (or you can take the trolley). So the location is very good. The pool area is very nice as is the lounging space by the intercoastal - a great place to watch the boat traffic. They have clay tennis courts which I am sure are a plus with tennis players but worthless for pickle ball players. We only got into a few units but the views really vary from those that face east and south having a view to the pool or the intercoastal and all of the rest, especially the lower floors, looking to parking lots or the very busy main drag. I guess if you are on a high enough floor looking west or north you might see the Gulf. We were lucky to have a great view of the pool even from the east facing 2nd floor unit we rented for two weeks. Each unit is different so I cannot comment on what you might get as far as decor/features.
