Family Vacation

We had a beautiful vacation on Anna Maria Island 🏝️. The house exceeded our expectations. For a group of 10, there was plenty of space, fully functional kitchen, the washer/dryer was helpful for many sandy/salty towels, and the pool/hot tub were awesome. It’s a quick walk to the beach. Book a stay here. You won’t be disappointed!

Ideal location and perfect home for families

Nine of us stayed for the week of June 8. Kids were 2,6,& 8 with 6 adults. The layout was just right for us. The pool and shade area was great for afternoon swims when it was too hot at the beach. Manatee public beach with all of the amenities was just across the street. Inside the house the furniture was not too formal and not too cheap. We didn’t have to worry with the children. The large coffee table has a puzzle going on it the whole week. We would be happy to stay here again! Management was available by text and very responsive to our few extra needs. *The floors could be cleaner but the bathrooms and kitchen were perfect.

This place was excellent! The proximity to the beach made this trip excellent! We could walk to the store if we needed anything, and ride the free trolley around the island. The house was perfect! We loved all the beach chairs and wagon. Pool was beautiful!

A Week in Paradise

We spent a wonderful week at Beach View Retreat. The house was fully stocked, very clean and easily accommodated our family. The beach was right across the street. A beach cart was provided which made it easy to cart all our stuff. The pool, hot tub and patio were a great place to have afternoon drinks before going to dinner. We would definitely stay there again. Can’t wait to go back.

It was just okay.

This place has potential. This house has all the basics, but there is no attention to detail…..Here are my suggestions for the owner. 1. The house needs a deep clean. There are bedrooms that have such filthy windows, baseboards, doors knobs, kitchen cabinets. 2. The kitchen needs a complete inventory. We planned to eat most of our meals in, as there were nine in our family. Not enough flatware for us to all eat without taking turns. I let management know and received another set right away. I also had to ask for plastic drinking cups as I didn’t want to hand the kids glass goblets to drink from and risk breaking. What is there, seems like random junk left by previous guests. 3. If you decide to visit here, bring your own scatter rugs. Not a single rug in the entire house….not even the front door, so you have endless white tiled floors, lots of sand and no barrier to stop it from coming in. By the end of day one, I could already feel the grit under my feet (imagine 5 kids coming in and out from the beach and not a rug to wipe your feet on. This meant I spent way too much vacation time sweeping floors (the broom needs to be replaced too). By day three, I made a Walmart run and bought rugs. 4. When the pool filter blew up (not an exaggeration) I let management know immediately. It took almost the entire week we were there, to fix. They kept the chemicals flowing and said we could still use it. By Friday, 3 in our group had chemical burns. We will not be returning.

Wonderful home

We really enjoyed the home.beach is close enough. Home very clean. Decorated beautifully. Bathrooms very nice. Beds were comfortable. Couch could be cleaned. Kitchen needs silverware!!! No pot holders. Ice maker does not work. TVs have Roku. All work. Needs a vacuum or better broom. Needs a new grill bush. We could not get the pool lights on at night and could not heat up the hot tub. Maybe leave instructions on how to use remote. Pool was very nice in the shade in evenings and cleaned twice. There are rats in the evening (probably unavoidable) around grill. I suggest you dump your trash after cooking. The stairs are a lot! We had a lot stuff for 10 people. Elevator would have been nice but I understand. Over all great home and I would rent again!

Another fantastic VRBO family vacation

We had a wonderful time at Beach View Retreat! My siblings, our spouses and I spent the week relaxing and enjoying ourselves in this great property. Plenty of room for all nine of us, close to the beach, and clean! The property manager responded quickly to our few questions and the pool man showed up twice to make sure the pool was sparkling. If we could have asked for anything, it would have been more clothes hangers in the closets, a few pot holders and some dish towels. We would definitely recommend this property for your visits to AMI and we plan on staying there again!

moderately disappointed

The property was okay. There were rats on the fence by the pool in the evenings. The grill by the pool was so dirty that it smelled when sitting by the pool. My son ended up cleaning the grill and the drip pan from the grill that was disgusting. It was very time consuming. The pool was cleaned at the begining of the week and never again. It was cloudy by Friday. There was no vacuum only a old broom to clean the floors inside. We had 10 people but there was 4 spoons in the silverware drawer and no plastic cups for by the pool. The biggest disappointment was the internet went down sometime Friday and we never got it back. We paid alot for this place and couldn't even watch TV in the evenings. Disappointing.

Great Location

Great space in a great location. Beds were all very comfy! Kitchen could use some attention! Cheap plastic plates and bowls were less than desirable. 3 coffee makers-2 with no basket for coffee, 1 w/ broken carafe and one basic coffeemaker that worked. Broken mug and chipped glass in cupboard. House could have been cleaner, but was manageable. Broken wagon and only 5 chairs for 6 people was less than adequate for the price!! Again, loved the location and space!!All AMI personnel were pleasant and helpful!

close to the beach

We found this property to be clean and in good condition. we had a minor issue with a bathroom door that wouldnt latch. We called on a Sat. and were pleased to get a Sunday morning repair. This is a great location with the beach, groceries, and pharmacy only a block or two away. The pool was the perfect temp and offered sun and shade for our granchildren to play in when the adults were worn out from the beach. We stayed at a house next door a few years baxk and loved it as well but our famy has grown so we needed the larger occupancy allowance that this house offered. 3 king beds (and 2 queens) and large beautiful bathrooms. We will likely stay here again.

Nice property with excellent property managers

The house and property were clean upon arrival. After only one day the refrigerator died. We placed a call and maintenance staff was there immediately. Unfortunately it took 4 more days to have a working fridge, but they did bring one for the garage. It wasn't convenient, but they did make it right for us. One major gripe is that there are NO dressers in the bedrooms. Four adult couples had to live out of suitcases for a week, which is unacceptable. A simple solution would be to put an inexpensive dresser in each closet (which had no hangers either). Kitchen could use some rectangular pans, a mixer, measuring spoons, mixing bowls, etc. A quick trip to ikea would take care of these things that make it a comfortable stay for adults. All in all, nice home.

Great family Vacation

Just perfect! Exactly what we were looking for to spend a week together. It was like our home away from home, plenty of room for us all to relax and visit. All the bedrooms were a good size with comfortable beds and bathrooms attached or close by. A pool and hot tub provided plenty of entertainment. We loved having the grill, most restaurants were busy and it was hard for them to accommodate 10 people during a busy dinner shift. Publix was right around the corner, very convenient. A short work across the road to the beach was the best part, location was spot on for dining, shopping and riding bikes. We had to much fun on the roof, what a beautiful view from up there. Thank you for a memorable week, it was awesome 😎

Very Nice!

We were very happy with the home and the AMI team. Good location, lots of room in the house. Nice outdoor pool area. We had a few small issues with the pool operation, but AMI addressed it immediately. Would definitely stay again at this property or with AMI. Holmes Beach is a nice area. Great beach (just one block away) and easy access to shopping. One tip for those arriving on Saturdays (when there’s a large influx of people onto the island) - head to the Publix 7 min inland (across the bridge on Manatee) to avoid the crowds.

Nice house close to the beach

We stayed at Holmes Beach over Thanksgiving. AMI was quick to respond to any questions we had and were great to deal with. The house was perfect for our family. There were 5 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of space for everyone. The beach is a short walk from the house and the supplied beach cart made it easy to transport our things to and from the beach. The back yard is great. Lots of trees surrounding the yard and pool making it very private. The master bedroom is huge. Only issue with it is the lack of window blinds. There are white curtains but they don't block the sun in the morning. Also the pillows weren't great, but the bed is comfortable. Make sure to bring soap and other toiletries as the 1 tiny bar of soap provided in the bathrooms isn't going to make it a week. Neither will the one provided dishwashing pod. Luckily Publix is walking distance from the house for any supplies you'll need and you will need supplies. When traveling from out to town you don't think to pack salt and pepper or any other spices you may need to cook with. If you go out to eat for every meal it's not a problem but if you plan on cooking having some basic supplies would be nice. All in all it was a great property and would rent from AMI again.
