Beautiful balance

We were very happy with our week’s stay at this property. We loved waking up to the bay views, wildlife and many opportunities to see dolphins, manatees, birds and go fishing. The pool was huge for those they didn’t want to always go to the beach and especially the little ones. Property had a nice floor plan with restrooms attached to nearly all bedrooms (except bunk bed room), spacious and areas to hang dry swim suits, towels, spread out outside and have some shade too. Ping pong and pool were great bonuses as were the bikes and some beach stuff. Really great location. Only recommendation would be the family room area could use new furniture and have more comfortable seating for a house this size.

The property management was absolutely amazing. We had a few issues and they were on it. Not only did they take care of the issues in a timely manner but they also did follow up calls to make sure we were satisfied with the results. We will definitely rent this home again.

Many broken things

The house was nice, clean, good location but many inconveniences. AC not working properly, fridge not working, had a replacement for two days and had to go downstairs every time we needed to grab things out of it. The deck alarm sensor fell down in the middle of the night and didn’t stopped making noise at 3:00 am. The pool heater didn’t work correctly… paid a lot of money for si much hassle we went through

So many problems.. Oh my, where to start!?

the good: looks nice, the view is great, the people at AMI who dealt with our many problems were polite and they tried to be effective. the bad: it started at the front door, the coded lock didn't work and could not be fixed all week. it wasn't the end of the world but more a sign of things to come. One of two furnaces didnt work. There was a delay in getting it looked at (I wont push since one of those days was Christmas) It was unusually cold out - the entire main floor was upper 50's at night and too cold to enjoy during the day. Our texts are promptly answered but the delayed vendor missed the fix on cold day 2, ordered a part on cold day 3, and we went 3-4 days with no heat in the main living and 2 bedrooms. >no water for the great looking master bathtub - unusable all week I was told a part was ordered but in 6 days they didnt get it operable >things missing or falling off walls - missing toilet paper rack (replaced after 2 request and 2 days) hanger, towel rack that fell off (fixed that week) The main living room curtains fell off the wall. I asked that they just take them away if they couldnt fix since we didnt need them - after a few reminders they were taken out of the house on day 5-6. >the pool and hot tub wont heat when the air is below 50 - (I would say that is closer to 60) the system also only heats one or the other. I'll spare you the details on the service requests for this, I just dont think its the right system for a house that rents for this price range. Even the pool service person told me that a cheap screen to block the air off the bay would help >a shower didnt drain, this was fixed pretty promptly. >Service people and service texts: again nice people but I had to do all of the follow up. and they seemed to have little vendor control. I was constantly texting for updates. most calls you get different person and have to start over with them. Anyone would expect so much more for the money. It's a good house in a wonderful location. It wasn't prepped well and there are some cheap materials. I would have thought that having what seems like a large rental company with staff would be an advantage, a call line, vendor pull - but in this case i think it hurt us. I got a credit but was told I couldnt have the amount I thought was fair. I dont need an apology, just improve for others, but I wouldnt do what I see you do with others and refute facts, I have a long embarrassing text list available.

Property did not meet expectations

Property power was out for first 6 hours after arrival- property mgmt team provided no options on backup plan for housing in case power did not go back on- pretty much on our own. 1. Cable box not working in family room- had to pull from another room myself; property mgmt never replaced during stay. 2. Refrigerator leaks at bottom- had to keep towel at bottom of appliance 3. Water leak in ceiling downstairs when it rains. 3. Built in microwave does not work- they had small replacements on counter- but for a property this size- replace the microwave. 4. Numerous bricks/tiles are loose on pool and spa- safety issue in my opinion. 5. Door handles in back patio loose. This should be a very nice property but in my opinion, is not being looked at after usage in the way it should. Couches are stained, many of the walls should be repainted. Very unfortunate-

Great view & location

Paying for the view & location. Although both where great, this property is over priced. Don’t get me wrong, the house is beautiful, but the patch ups on this house is why I feel this house is over priced. There was a seaweed “muck” that formed around the dock that stunk (this being out of the property owners control). We’ve stayed at several properties through VRBO & with all things considered, if all the patch ups where fixed I would stay here again. AMI would be considered a must visit!

Fantastic Friends Getaway

We travelled with 5 couples to Anna Maria. House was just as pictured. Amazing view with lots of wildlife (dolphins, manatees, rays, small shark and birds) sightings everyday! Walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The free trolley system is great if you do not rent a car or golf cart. Would have bee awesome to have a bathroom on the pool level along with a wet bar and/or small fridge for cocktails but then I guess we would not get our daily stair steps in going up to the kitchen to make them. ;) One thing that was wrong on the listing was the shared hallway bathroom. This bathroom is on the main level (2nd floor) not the upper level (3rd floor) so the people in the bunk room had to go downstairs to use the restroom. Our one main complaint are the beds. They are horrible. Very hard and VERY loud every time you turn you feel like you woke the whole house. Otherwise we had an amazing time!

The View!

Overall, great time. For what you pay, the place needs to provide better kitchen supplies and it was not cleaned to par with what I’d expect. We cleaned after checking in and found many spots that were not cleaned in awhile such as handrails to stairs. The place is huge and great for large family. Pool and dock were out hangout spots. Very quiet and close to restaurants and shops

Beach Home

Great location, nice property, helpful rental company. The property was not thoroughly cleaned and when we arrived I assume the previous guest left fishing bait in the lower room and the house stunk horribly. Also the kitchen items are very worn and would have been great to have "starter" items like foil, etc Like other rentals have proviced.

Fantastic location

Fantastic property with beautiful views which we will never forget! Saw lots of dolphins and a few manatees from the villa. Anna Maria Island is so pretty - it has a village feel to it. We enjoyed going to the Sandbar - the view was amazing! My family fished and mainly caught catfish off the dock and were trying desperately to catch something else. The only negative thing I can think of is that the water flow in the kitchen and our ensuite was very slow, other than that all was good. I would definitely like to return in the near future.

Beautiful home with awesome views from just about every window!

This was our first time using VRBO, the house was as it was pictured. Had a little hiccup when we first arrived but was corrected right away by management. Was overall pleased with the house, location and views of the bay. The view from just about any window was beautiful, got to see some manatees, turtles and dolphins in the bay right in the back yard. Was cute to see the school down the road had classes out in the bay. Would have been nice to have another set of bunkbeds in the empty room on the main floor.
