Spring break family trip

This property was close to the beach and restaurants. Had trouble connecting to television, had to use our own service. Rugs and bedding appeared dirty. Kitchen needed new cooking pots and pans. We did enjoy the outdoor facility and pool/hot tub. We will be coming back to Anna Maria Island.

Missouri visitors

We very much enjoyed our stay. We loved the pool, especially the grandkids. The location was great and the view of the bay was awesome. It’s rare to find a property that provides plenty of paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags. I did have to wash a few bathroom rugs and outdoor table. Also, the listing pictured a fire pit, ping pong table and an outdoor tv. None of those items were included.

Nice Get Away

Happy Hibiscus meet all our checkboxes. We had a family vacation with kids and this home had everything we needed for all the ages. The home was clean and well stocked and decorated for comfort. The location was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and not much traffic. We rented golf carts and were able to get around easily. We will definitely be back for our family vacations.

Great property in a great location!

Our family enjoyed the space both inside and out. The pool and hot tub area was private and relaxing and when we needed a break from the outside, the game room with the pool table and foosball was a great change of pace. The location is great as well. Easy walking to Bean Point Beach, Rod & Reel Pier and AMI City Pier. Not to mention easy access to Pine Ave and all of the local shops. We will definitely be back!

Perfect location

The Happy Hibiscus was the perfect house for two families! Back patio/pool and hot tub were perfect! And you are perfectly located in the north island neighborhood right in the middle of all the beautiful beaches. We had some door/lock issues, but Nicole was so responsive and easy to get ahold of! Great communication with the owner! We hope to come back!

Cannot get any nicer on Anna Maria

If you want a clean, functional rental in a quiet and convenient part of AMI, this is your place. We always place bets on the pool… will it be warm, will the hot tub controls work, will the water be clean. In the case of the Happy Hibiscus, check, check and check. We’d stay here again!

Great Family Trip

We had a wonderful trip. There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children ages 7-11). The children loved all the indoor and outdoor activities. There was plenty of room for our entire group. The location is very walkable or short golf cart ride to the beach and some restaurants. Nicole was always very responsive to all our questions prior to and during our stay.

Nice place and great location. Could have been cleaner

We had a nice stay overall. The property is nice, spacious, and well equipped for the most part. The rugs in the hallway and bathrooms were diirty and the grill grate was very rusty making the grill unusable. In the end, we would probably choose this property again, but for the cost some upgrades would help.

nice outdoor area

All in all we had a great time. The red tide in the area got us all sick but the home was in a good location close to everything and it had a bonus bathroom and bed downstairs which was a nice supprise. The outdoor area is really nice. The only complaint we had was the air filters need cleaned really bad.

Ideal stay for family wedding

We came to AMI for our daughter’s wedding at The Grand Pavillion at The Sandbar. The Happy Hibiscus was a perfect location and was great accommodations for a combination of family and friends. We especially enjoyed the open floor plan upstairs. And the outdoor patio was a great place to watch the NCAA games in the evening. When we arrived it was raining pretty hard but were able to unload the vehicle in the comfort of the garage. We also made use of the beach chairs that were provided. Thanks for everything!

Family Vacation

We had an amazing time! Our group included my wife and son (16 months), my parents, sister and boyfriend. The house is spacious and has a very large sitting area with enough room for everyone. Pool area is fantastic! We had perfect weather each day and the pool was great to have. The location is great. Walkable to both the beach and town, but not a “short” walk. If we book again we would probably get a golf cart for convenience. But really nice location for morning walks with our son and a quick walk to the pier where you can get fresh fish and drinks. Overall the house was stocked for our son in terms of bedding, high chair and toys which made that part of the trip a breeze.

Relaxing retreat

This is a beautiful location within easy walking to the beach for nightly sunsets. This is in a quieter neighborhood than many other properties. Nice private pool/hot tub area is where we spent most of our time. The living area and bedrooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Beautiful bathroom finishes. There were some maintenance issues, lots of burned out lightbulbs, some backyard lighting not working. Bicycles need new tubes and the golf cart was not operational. Those items could have made it better for exploring the area. Overall we had a fabulous time!

This was a nice property and had plenty of space for our entire family.

Nicole was a great host and was very responsive and check in went smoothly. There are some minor nuisances to getting the hot tub up to temp- which to Nicole’s credit, she was quick to get the appropriate help out the property to get resolved. I’d recommend getting some instruction on this at the beginning of the stay, but in short, the tub doesn’t get to temp if you are running the waterfall. There’s also a blue tooth speaker system by the pool that we found late in the game. We had a great stay, and the property was a great gathering place for our large group. They have a golf cart on site for rent. I would look in to this option on our next booking.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Rhodes

Host profile image
David and I have been in Florida over 20 years. We are pictured here at one of our favorite beaches, Bean Point, in Anna Maria. When we are not enjoying all Florida has to offer we are working in real estate - and we love it! Previously David owned an Outdoor Kitchen business and I worked in Technology. Now, we own a real estate investment and property management company which keep us on our toes. I am also a licensed realtor in Florida and Alabama so if you love your stay with us I can help you find your own dream home!

Why they chose this property

Before becoming a rental this was used as a family home. That means it is very well appointed! The kitchen is well stocked and there is something to entertain guests of any age from 1 to 91!!! We love morning walks on the beach after catching the sunrise across the street at Bean Park. Sunsets at Bean Point can be magical and they are just a short walk or bike ride away.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite things about this property is in the summer after spending the morning at the beach we like to relax in the pool. The beauty of this pool is that half of it is in the shade and half in the sun. If you want more sun - great we got that. If you want to chill in the shade we got that too! It can't be beat!
