Beautiful home, super clean and perfect location - king size beds are bit on the high side and a little tough to climb in. Enjoyed the deck the most - photo on website only shows small portion of the deck but happy to see full size deck where all 4 of us could hang out to enjoy coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening to enjoy the sunset. Had an issue with upstairs toilet the day we arrived, but maintenance immediately fixed. Highly recommend Anna Maria Vacations - would definitely book with them again. Thanks for an awesome get away!

The house was exactly as expected. Clean, well maintained, and great location. A little bit of a hike over a sand dune but we appreciated the beach wagon left behind to help.
