Falsely Advertised and Dishonest Host

While this property has incredible potential, it was clearly not ready to be rented at the time of our stay. The host did not even own the property at the time we booked on VRBO. Photos on the listing were renderings and photo-shopped. Falsely claimed sleeping for 16 people. Numerous safety hazards and the majority of the listed amenities were not provided.

Fabulous Super Bowl week on beautiful AMI - stunning backyard 🥂

What an amazing stay - beautiful accommodations ! Fantastic & fully equipped premium kitchen with absolutely everything we needed to enjoy cooking & getting ready to host a big Super Bowl barbecue in the stunning backyard — while enjoying the beautiful AAA pool, bar & TV extraordinary area & leisure spot to enjoy the sun with absolutely everything you need ! The new weber griddle grill worked perfectly to make yummy fabulous sandwiches, where we would put the buns face down on the grill ! The pool was stunning & sparkling clean - such fabulous lights everywhere to continue enjoying into the evening . Just a few short steps to an amazing sunset & beautiful walks on the beach & in town shopping — not to mention fabulous AMI restaurants . Bathrooms & bedrooms & lounge areas in the home were amazing . The hosts intuitively thought of absolutely everything that was necessary to make this a glamorous, fun & relaxing vacation spot ! Stunning views & very private, beautiful pool — wonderful bar area to gather around & enjoy noon to night ! Definitely ready for next years stay at the Salty Sea Inn . Thank you to our amazing host Carolyn for such a beautiful place to stay ! Anna Maria Island is indeed thriving - can’t wait to go back to enjoy that back yard paradise ! 🥂🥂

Family vacation

This property was the ideal setting for our group of 14. Perfect accommodations from ages 1-67.The heated private pool and hot tub was a hit and received much use. Rafts and inner tubes were also provided. What impressed us most was how well stocked both units were. Kitchen appliances, cookware,cooking tools, utensils, dishes, bowls were all the finest quality and ample supply. The outside, poolside bar area was our common meeting place and the lighting added extra ambiance. Aside from the frozen drink maker and Ninja Blender, the large outdoor TV, the WiFi sound speaker ensured everyone was relaxed and entertained. Any question we had was IMMEDIATELY answered and gave us peace of mind that our hosts were truly invested in ensuring a fun trouble free vacation. The house is clean and tastefully decorated, well supplied with towels, linens, basic cleaning supplies and 2 washer/dryers!The beach is across the road and many restaurants, pubs and shops are close by.These owners are serious about provided you with a stress free vacation spot with all the amenities in a convenient location.

Salty Seas Stay

If you're planning a trip to Anna Maria Island, “Salty Seas” is the perfect place to stay! This home combines luxury, comfort, and an unbeatable location. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home—but better! Highlights of our stay: Beautifully Designed Space: Every detail of the house is thoughtfully curated, from the coastal-inspired decor to the modern amenities. It’s even better than the photos! Amazing Amenities: The pool was a favorite spot for our family to relax after a day at the beach, and the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare food and drinks. Prime Location: Just a short walk to the beach and close to Anna Maria’s amazing restaurants and shops. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. Comfort and Cleanliness: The property was spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds that made us feel well-rested every morning. We can’t recommend “Salty Seas” enough. It’s a true gem on Anna Maria Island and the perfect spot to create lasting memories. We’re already planning our next stay! Can’t wait to come back!

Host profile image
As Minnesota natives with extensive travel experience, we set out to offer a rental where luxury and comfort are our top priorities.

Our hands-on approach means we're directly involved in every detail, from addressing your requests to enhancing your stay.

Interested in Saving Money? Contact us and we offer a $500 discount for payment in full plus 4% savings if you book by check or Venmo.

Our reviews speak for themselves—guests consistently praise our dedicated service. We provide everything you need for a perfect vacation, including a pack 'n play, high chair, booster seat, and jumper for children, plus beach towels, chairs, chaise loungers, coolers, umbrellas, canopies, and golf carts.

Why they chose this property

This stunning home is located at the very start of the barrier islands, just a 5-minute walk from the renowned Bean Point Beach. Enjoy breathtaking views where the Gulf of Mexico meets Tampa Bay, and gaze at Egmont Key, St. Petersburg, and the iconic Skyway Bridge, which lights up in colorful LEDs at night. Watch majestic cruise ships and ocean freighters sail towards Tampa Port, and marvel at the Countries #1 stunning lightning storms across the bay.

Read our reviews if you are still uncertain about booking through us. We are the owners of these 3 properties, not a management service. We are accessible 24 hours a day, and have onsite maintenance and cleaning services available 24/7. Other PM companies on the island can take weeks to respond to something like AC outage, or Internet. We are on it immediately! This is very important once you experience the latter, you will not settle for less again.

What makes this property unique

Our home features 6 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with brand-new Quince Linen quilts, bamboo sheets, and memory foam pillows for a restful stay. Two brand-new king-size customizable velvet sofas offer additional sleeping options for 3 on each floor, and both the upstairs and main floor master suite include a luxurious king-sized bed, an ensuite bathroom, and private access to the pool area.
