Total relaxation

We had a great time at Glory days. The backyard has a great tropical feel/vibe. Amazing pool and hot tub this is where we spent most of our days. Great location. We loved it there and were very impressed on how stocked the kitchen was and loved that they had a good amount of beach chairs we could use. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful property, beautiful area

The house is exactly as pictured and advertised, it was a fabulous vacation home. The house is decorated very nicely and has all the things that you might need. They even have beach supplies and coolers for you to avail of during your day. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach, but with a backyard as nice as this one you barely needed to leave. We loved our stay, the hosts were very easy to get in touch with, and were very helpful.

Glory Days

We absolutely loved the house and huge backyard with the screened in porch to be able to enjoy dinner outside. The gas bbq grill was brand new. The hot tub worked perfectly and there were a ton of beach chairs and 2 beach wagons, all in great condition.

My only negative comment is that the water pressure in the master bedroom bathroom sink was extremely low, however the shower pressure was great.

Glory Days

Glory Days is the best place to stay! Super roomy, we had lots of space to spread out. Great location, close walk to the beach and easy with the carts. The backyard is truly a private oasis. The pool and jetted hot tub were great after a day at the beach. The surrounding patio has plenty of umbrellas, lounge chairs and other chairs to relax in. The kitchen has everything you would need, and the gas grill is perfect for quick meals. The screened in patio has a huge table and chairs that we used every day. The linens are super soft and you won't run out of beach or bath towels. If you want to play a game or read a book, they have many choices. I highly recommend Glory Days, we look forward to visiting again! Many thanks to the hosts for sharing this gem !

Great house near the beach, perfect fit for six

Everything we could have asked for in a vacation house. Master suite is spacious and has a shower and tub. Pool and hot tub. A little tricky to figure out how to get the hot tub hot. Short walk to a great beach, great neighborhood and we liked Anna Maria Island. Only drawback was that there were no food basics: no salt or pepper even. Be prepared to buy everything you need in the way of food. Otherwise all good.

Clean, comfortable, home in a good location

The only disappointment we had was that the hot tub only worked about 30% of our entire stay. We made so many calls to to AMI Realty and someone only came out twice to fix it. The repair never lasted long. So, keep that in mind if the hot tub is a selling point for you. Other than that, the home was clean, the beds comfortable, the sheets soft. Many beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers etc. Fully stocked kitchen. Smart TV’s. Everything you could possibly need, except for the hot tub. The house is in a good location, easy walk to a nice area of the beach. A short bike ride to the shops of AMI and even down the other direction to Holmes Beach. Really would’ve been perfect if not for the hot tub issues.

Unpleasant experience

This was our 4th year renting this property and we knew what to expect property wise.We rented for three weeks and expected everything to be serviceable. The SPA didn't work for our entire stay even after repeated daily phone calls. Maintenance showed up three times and didn't have a clue what they were looking at! I was told that the pool company would come and asses the problem; no show!! The property is nice but we won't be back.

ABSOLUTE PARADISE

To say that we had an amazing vacation at Glory Days on Anna Maria Island is an understatement! Absolute paradise! The house exceeded our expectations and had everything we could possibly need and more. We felt like we were staying at a 5 star tropical resort with the lush landscape and palm trees in the backyard surrounding the amazing pool and hot tub. Days were spent on the beautiful beach and in the amazing pool, and nights were spent by the pool and outside areas. Perfection! The furnishings are exceptional with multiple comfortable seating areas, fully stocked kitchen, and extremely comfortable beds. The bonus den area was the perfect "man cave" for gaming and movies. Being a nurse has not allowed an opportunity for a family vacation since the pandemic, so for our first vacation in years to be at such an amazing house...priceless. Thank you Glory Days and Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals for providing my family with such an amazing vacation and lifelong memories!

Nice Place to RELAX

Everything was clean and well maintained. Interior was well decorated with slight Florida theme that was not overdone. Plenty of towels for bath and pool. Pool was more than big enough for our group of 7 people. Property was perfectly landscaped. Kitchen had everything you would need. We had two very minor issues that were immediately fixed by the property management without hesitation. Short walk to the beach, but why go there when you have a great private pool

Great Location, Great Property

We stayed at Glory Days in Feb-2021 with two children (4/6) and were very happy with this home. Online listing was accurate. Location was great - no more than a 3-4 minute walk to beach. The house included any beach items you'd need so saves much on packing (beach carts/wagons, chairs, coolers, toys, umbrellas, etc). We also loved hanging out at the home's pool and using hot-tub during cooler evenings was perfect.

Amazing Vacation!!

Truly an amazing vacation! Glory Days was an awesome vacation rental with so many amenities. When we arrived the check in was an easy, contact-less process. The house was very clean, you could even smell the cleaning products. The back yard was THE BEST part. So amazing, a tropical oasis. The pictures don’t do it justice! My family of 4 (two boys 8 & 11) went with another family of 4 with boys the same age. There was plenty of space in the house. The older boys slept on twin air mattresses (that were in the master closet) in the den. There was a fold out queen available as well. The beds were all very comfortable. And the showers.... the showers were amazing!!! The master shower was a steam shower, so nice! The shower on the main level was luxurious as well! Huge tub in the master bath, though we never used it. The outdoor (enclosed) shower was so convenient. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the utensils and dishes you would need. The extra refrigerator in the garage was a game changer! There were plenty of beach supplies, making packing much easier. There were 2 beach carts, a beach wagon, large cooler and small soft coolers, pool floats, beach toys, goggles, corn hole boards, plenty of chairs and umbrellas, and we donated some boogie boards....everything you could need for a day at the beach! The backyard was just the best thing! The only thing that could have made it better was staying longer!!! Overall, a wonderful house! I recommend renting it before it books!!

Glorious vacation at Glory Days

Everything about this property was wonderful. Location to the beaches and restaurants, on the 3rd day we rented a golf cart and really enjoyed touring the island with that. Loved the pool spent a great majority of our time hanging out there. Already talking about booking for next year.
