To give you some perspective I have traveled all over the world and many times to Florida before. This is the best executed place I have ever stayed. The Place We stayed in Castaway. It is 2Br and 2Br however, I could see from pictures that all of them are beautifully decorated in coastal style. The linens, paint, counters, cupboards, floors, showers are all extremely well selected and skillfully installed. He has obviously hired a very good designer, designed combinations that work well and then rolled it out across all of his places. I was photographing things to take the ideas and reuse them if I buy and build my own place. I have already ordered the linens from the same place they got them. The Location Our place was within the first block of the beach. This is basically ideal if you do not want to spend a fortune and be directly on the water. The Service Excellent. The place was extremely clean and depersonalized. He left us popcorn in a tin which was a super nice gift and my kids loved it. He came by and made some changes to things which were not quite right. We have already booked this place for next year. Honestly, the best.

As always, the property was immaculate and had everything needed to make it a stellar stay. I really appreciated the extremely well-equipped kitchen, as I love to cook. The private patio/pool area was just perfect for our Shih Tzu, Huey. The grounds are magnificently maintained, which is amazing, as they were just recovering from 2 hurricanes. Jill and Ben could not have been more attentive hosts. We needed a couple of things and they were on it immediately. No issue is too small and they take them all seriously. My husband and I cannot say enough about this property. It is well run and a pleasure to enjoy. We can't wait to return. Ellen De Huff

As we pack up to leave on this beautiful Saturday morning, we reflect on what a relaxing,…read moredelightful time we have spent here! 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!

We had service technicians at the house almost daily, which severely interrupted our stay. They also asked to "show" the house as it was for sale. I asked for a partial refund due to the inconvenience of losing a bedroom and bathroom, and a couple in our group having to sleep on the sofa. Once I asked that, I heard nothing but crickets. They also would not post the bad review I left for the property. I have sent numerous emails and called numerous times, but I am being ghosted. Find another rental management company to save yourself the headache.

A WAVE FROM IT ALL - 404 Spring Ave:…read more Pros - Bedrooms/bathrooms (except half bath, see below) - Location Cons - Half bath lock mechanism was difficult to engage. - Kitchen utensils were in dire need of replacement; pots and pans were scratched and warped, knives were dull, plastic plates and bowls had seen better days. Fridge temp was set at 36 degrees. Didn't discover this until the next day after we stocked fridge. Everything on top 2 shelves froze - fruit was unusable afterwards. - The only beach equipment provided were 6 chairs, all the low-to-the- ground type, and one small, worn out beach cart. No beach umbrella. We called about this: They said "Too bad, that's what you get." Had to rent our own regular height beach chairs, a decent beach cart, a cooler, beach toys, and beach umbrella. - Ping pong paddles were worn out, no balls provided; we had to buy some at Publix. - No outdoor shower or hose. Only hose present was hooked up to the pool, unable to disconnect. We had to wash sand off our feet from a faucet behind some bushes.

I really like this resort. It isn't bells and whistles, but it's super friendly people, including…read moreother guests, quiet, clean, and right on the beach. The pool area is small for a resort but there wasn't a child in sight (except for my own) so there was nothing but relaxation. The pool area has a spa, and a bin with pool toys and floats. The courtyard has grills for guest use. It's in a great location with lots of non chain restaurants and shops in easy driving or walking distances. There is even a free trolly option. The rooms are spacious with living area and kitchen. Kitchen includes dining ware, stove, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Bring your DVDs as the living area has a player. My only gripes are that there's no pool towel swapping, you have to wash your own in the guest laundry room, and the bathroom being way too small. I heard there are talks of potential remodeling and think bathroom size should definitely be an area of discussion.

I've even seen wild peacocks in the neighborhood! Large living room and family room, multiple dining areas, two baths, and full kitchen. This home is spacious and comfortably sleeps eight adults.

Rant We rented Las Palmas unit #3 in Bradenton with Debra…read more Upon arrival we found a huge cockroach on the wall, sand, dirt and suspicious white stains on the bed covers like it hasn't been washed from the previous guests use. I send pictures to the host and asked them to be washed, hostile host Debra kind reacted badly at my request and suggested me and my family to find another place to stay, she said "we dont need your kind of people here" "people that twist things in order to get a good deal". Well when a host charges $200 per night + $200 cleaning fee I do expect to find the place sparkling clean and clean bed covers. A simple request to have clean bed covers escalated to an argument where hostile host Debra trespassed the rental telling us to leave her property. Airbnb was contacted and we chose to cancel the reservation and go spend our last vacation days in a more friendly environment. Thank you Airbnb for intervening and giving us a refund.

From the owner: Anna maria Island House Rental offers weekly vacation rentals on beautiful Anna Maria Island. The…read moreIsland is located on the calm Gulf coast between Tampa and Sarasota, convenient to both Tampa International Airport and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Anna Maria Island has an Old Florida feel, before the commercialism and tackiness proliferated. You won't find Big Box stores, chain restaurants or high rises, but there are plenty of owner operated stores and restaurants that make this island very special. The biggest draw however, is the 7 miles of sugar, white sand and all the activities that are associated with the beach and the ocean. Anna Maria Island House Rental currently offers Blue Turtle Cottage, a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom newly renovated and furnished property that is literally steps from the beach. It also features a tropically landscaped yard with a sparkling, blue, private, heated pool. The cottage is located in close proximity to stores, restaurants, the causeway and Trolley stops. The Trolley is FREE and travels the length of the island morning till night. You can park the car or go without very easily.
