My friend and i stayed in the downstairs unit and it was great! Immaculate and furnished nicely, although we didn’t cook, the kitchen was nicely stocked with all kinds of dishes and cookware. The sunsets from the private beach are breathtaking, too!!

Amazing time with Grandparents, Parents and the cousins spending hours soaking in the Gulf, collecting and painting shells, flying kites, and playing Kids Against Maturity. And we got it all in before Debby arrived!
My two week stay was awesome, wish it would have been longer. Beautiful area of Holmes beach, step out the door and the beach is right there. Clean white sand and beautiful water. We were impressed how comfortable the beds were along with the comfy pillows.
Definitely coming back to such a cozey beach house .

We love it in Valhalla Down. We don't have to worry about steps. Shopping is so close we walk to the strip mall. Great variety of shops andeating places.
We had an awesome time on AMI. We loved the downstairs Valhalla. This place is in a wonderful location and right near several places for all your needs. The house is right on the beach. Never had to put our shoes on the first time. Step off the porch and your in the sand! Would stay here again!

This unit was perfect. The location was perfect. Our 3rd year visiting and this was our favorite rental and already reserved for next year. Everyone was super nice also.
This house was perfect for my family. We have 4 kids ages 9,5,4,2. This place easily fit us all with the pullout couch. They have updated some of the furniture than what is pictured! The location is perfect and within walking distance to anything you could need! Beach was stunning! We can’t wait to come back next year!
The property location is awesome.. it needs some updates, kitchen was tight, no temp. on oven, office fixed tv issue right away..but overall we had a great time..right on the beach...

The house is in a great location. The code to enter was different than what was text to me. There were maggots all over one of the recycle bins, the exhaust fan cover above the toilet was hanging from the ceiling, a dead roach was on the floor of the bathroom and there were 3 lizards in the house running around the entire week. Grill available but no outdoor table, had to ask upstairs guests to look for key to the laundry room. Wouldnt stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
The apartment was roomier than the photos would suggest. A large deck with a table and chairs was a plus as we lived out there. The beds were comfortable. However, you can hear the footsteps of children upstairs, but not the adults! The pull-out couch was not "new" as described. The mattress was old with the dreaded "bar" that prevents a comfortable sleep. Thin mattress egg crates were provided for this inferior pullout mattress Sheets, but no blankets were provided for the pullout. My sister ended up just sleeping on the couch because the pullout mattress was just too awful. The kitchen was updated with granite counters and a new sink and faucet. The updated shower bathroom was large with plenty of hot water. The App the company wanted us to download was useless for any communication with them. They must be phoned with any issues. The week before we arrived we were given a code for the keyless doors but at least the App stated that real keys were required, so I had to contact the company to clarify. In phone conversations, the staff was always courteous and helpful. Because of the location, we would consider renting again Valhalla downstairs.

Walk out to beach - perfect. Able to connect with family. Only 1bathroom was a challenge. Hand washing dishes had not planned but not a big deal. Walking distance to anything needed including ice cream shops. Oh construction next door was never mentioned.

Not sure how anyone could not be happy with this property. It's right on the beach. It's close to Publix and dunking. In my opinion, it's the best location on AMI.

We have been coming to Anna Maria Island for over 30 years and this was one of the best vacations. The property was great! We had quite the dolphin show each morning while drinking coffee on each porch. (upper and lower) Property management did a fantastic job! We usually have a property with a pool but we didn't miss the pool since we could step off the porch and be on the beach. All groceries and shopping are within a very short walk as well as the trolley. We will be back and I highly recommend Valhalla Downstairs and Upstairs.
