Upon…read moreentering the front door to our unit, we were greeted with a fresh, clean scent and sparkling terrazzo floor. The unit had a huge bedroom with a king-sized bed and TV, a fully equipped kitchenette/living area with a sleeper sofa and a huge picture window with a beach view. It was a quaint, beach-y cottage vibe that we absolutely loved. Everything we wanted to do was within easy walking distance or 1/2 block away from the free trolley. The owner even stopped by to see if our accommodations were satisfactory... which they were exceptional! We are already talking about planning our next trip.

We were on AMI for a wedding and everyone who came over said our place was by far the nicest. You also couldn't beat the location. It's about 100 yards from the beach and less than a 5 minute walk to many bars and restaurants. I can't wait to come back for a third time.

We had a few good days and went into Sarasota to ride out the storm, but about a third of the guests came back after they opened up the bridge. The Gulf Stream rooms are a lot nicer than Smuggler's Cove, but we have been to Smuggler's Cove twice and liked it. A great place to spend a vacation and if the ocean is rough, the pool is wonderful. The Publix nearby is awesome for groceries and there are a lot of great restaurants around.

As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

This is a hard one. First let me start with the good…read more ~ Beachfront & Beach views! This alone pretty much amps up any rating. There's nothing better, in my book, than going to sleep to the sound of the waves. ~ The room, a one bedroom apartment, is a nice size and includes a kitchenette. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. The a/c worked fine and was not noisy. The bed in the bedroom is a king size and comfy. The floors are tiled which is a huge plus for a beach apartment. There is a bit of rust in some area, but that is to be expected due to the salt air. A bit of paint works wonders. While the above is pretty much everything that I need, (did I mention beachfront?) there is definitely room for improvement. ~ Upon arrival, we were unable to open the front door. Turns out that you pretty much have to play with it a bit in order to get it to unlock. Not much fun, especially at night. It's an easy fix by just replacing the door lock. ~ The TV in the bedroom did not work. ~ We were able to pull out the bed in the living room, but it was impossible to pack it back in in the morning. ~ Although the inn is non-smoking including hallways, there was a very strong smell of weed in the hallway directly in front of our door. ~The WiFi was useless. We were rarely able to connect. ~ The water pressure in the shower sucks. But on the bright side, the water is not hard and that's great for hair & skin. ~ The bathroom is located in the front part of the apartment, while the bedroom is towards the back. Not very convenient. That can't be fixed. However, the actual bathroom is in dire need of a re-do. Re-grout, new shower head, toilet that fully flushes, a soap dish and grip bar in the shower/tub. Overall, we were pleased with our stay. Ummm, beach front! We rarely heard our neighbors. I don't even know if we had any. Except, of course, for the tokers. The public areas felt a bit drab, but the pool was clean. The surf was a bit rough while we were there, so we did not go in the water. However, it is an excellent beach for walking. We will consider staying here again. Did I mention beachfront? :))
