Spring break at Anna Maria 2025

The house was beautiful and the kids were in the pool daily. Loved all the outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the views. Inside they had everything we needed and more. Location was close to shops and beaches. Having the golf cart was nice for things further away. We did have issues with the internet but management was very responsive in getting resolved.

Great vacation spot on AMI

The property was well taken care of and the owners were available and ready to communicate before and during our trip. We were close to the beach and the golf cart (included) was the perfect way to get around all of the island. I recommend taking advantage of the boat outings/adventures that can be chartered and leave right from the dock in the back of the house.

Best trip ever! (and we go on a lot of trips!)

Talking with the property owner,Carolyn, and the property manager was always very quick and answered all our questions! The book that was provided when you walk in the door helped us understand the island and the home better to ensure we were experiencing everything to the utmost! The outdoor pool and tiki bar were simply amazing! The beds are comfortable, and two kitchens really helped us with feeding our hungry families! The perfect place for our two families of 11 people! Don’t let the hurricane damage deter you from vacationing here. The island is beautiful and the amount of restoration that has occurred thus far has been incredible! Yes, there are still homes that are requiring demolition or improvements, but I think it’s important for us to all understand what happened to the island. This home is definitely on the books for our return vacation next year!

Wow. What a wonderful property

The hurricane impacted this island two months before our stay and we were so surprised when we arrived! The owners were so helpful and responsive to any questions or needs we had. The location is near the bay but a short walk to the beach. Great location near everything. We will be back again!!!

Gorgeous home on AMI

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. We shared this with another family. This place was spotless! The 2 separate units were perfect to have our own personal space. We loved sharing the backyard space together. The large pool was absolutely amazing and very clean. However, it was ICE COLD. I understand that the air temp was cooler than average but this water was so cold not even the kids would go in! I asked the owner twice to please turn up the heat. Her response was that since the air was cool the heat just blows off the top. She told me thetemp was set to 88. This was simply not true. It was barely 73 our entire stay. It was a bit disappointing since we had kids that wanted to swim at night which didn’t happen brrrrr. The outdoor space was fun with the swinging chairs, lounge and Adirondack chairs. Plenty of room to spread out. The guys loved watching March madness on both outdoor tv’s. The kayaks have seen been days we didn’t use those. There was only one bike. Our friends who were in the lower unit experienced cold showers the first 3 days. After a few attempts we did get a response from the owner. After 2 electrician visits it was finally fixed. We also could have used more garbage bags-only 2 were provided per unit and silverware was sparse. Something else we found odd was the owner had her boat captain and an entire family cutting through our backyard pool area to access the boat dock. No notice was given.

3 generations from 80 to 16 had an amazing vacation here. The tiki bar and the pool and the entire back patio area was the highlight of our stay in beautiful Ana Maria Island. Every room was clean and comfortable and the location was about as good as we could have hoped after going to many restaurants and shops close by.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Hodgson

Host profile image
From Minnesota, and well traveled, we wanted to create a personal experience where luxury and comfort came first. If you have rented in Anna Maria before, you know it is a nightmare to rent from one of the big property management companies (AMI Locals, etc.) They are owned by one person who has a monopoly started and is rumored to not provide great service (look them up on Yelp.) We, the owners of this home are the ones managing it. That makes a significant difference in the type of service you receive. Read our reviews, they tell it the best. I personally answer your requests and there is no one with a greater incentive than the owner to make sure our guests are thrilled.
This home has everything you could want or need for. Including children's pack and play, high chair, booster, and Jumper. Beach towels, blankets, chairs, chaise loungers, coolers, umbrella's, canopy's, golf carts, you just bring the sunscreen and your swimming suit!

Why they chose this property

This home has water views from everywhere. Across the street from Tampa Bay and the Skyway Bridge, use binoculars provided and watch the cruise ships and ocean freighters go by heading to Tampa Port. At night watch storms and lightening come across the bay - its beautiful and thrilling!
The second level on the front of the home has a porch that is covered, and has new composite plus 3 sectional beautiful sets of furniture to enjoy watching the sunsets and wildlife bird watching and sea life.
The Free Standing Tiki Bar lights up with neon at night, the pool and the water in the canal does too! New vinyl fence has lights surrounding it and LED lighting is in the Feeney steel cable railings surrounding the porch!

What makes this property unique

5 Bedrooms all with brand new King size gel memory foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and memory pillows! 2 Pull out sleeper sofas king size that are brand new plus one and a half person chaise lounge with ottoman. One of the upstairs master suites also has a Queen Daybed. Plenty of sleeping choices throughout the house! 2 minutes to the Waterfront Restaurant or town...this is the best location you can find in Anna Maria!
