Stayed at this beautiful home for a week vacation at Anna Maria Island. It was perfect for our trip. Just enough room for the two of us, clean, and right on the beach! Stunning views everyday and just a few steps for sunset watching in the evening! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful stay at Anna Maria Island ✨🏖️

Nothing beats waking up to the Gulf right outside your door, Savannah! We’re glad Whispering Waves East by Anna Maria Vacations was the perfect fit for your week on Anna Maria Island, with a cozy space for two and those incredible beach views to enjoy throughout your stay. Being just steps from the sand makes catching those evening sunsets especially easy. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you both back for another beautiful island escape!

We received a call prior to our stay asking us to run the dishwasher and throw a load into the washing machine. We packed our luggage assuming there would be one due to the conversation. There was no dishwasher or washer/dryer in the unit. This was ok, we would have just packed different if we would have known this was faulty info. There were also no sheets or pillow cases for the pullout bed. The covers were dirty and had blood on them but they got them swapped out. It definitely has the “landlord special” vibes with all the light switches and cabinet hinges being painted over. One thing that makes this place amazing is the proximity to the beach. We steeped out on the sand and walked less that 30 yards to the beach. That portion of the house makes the others much more tolerable.

Hi Bryson! It’s wonderful to hear that the beach access was such a highlight of your stay at Whispering Waves East by Anna Maria Vacations being just steps from the sand is certainly hard to beat, Bryson.

Lovely house right on the beach. The house was well stocked with everything you need for the stay, including beach chairs. Anna Maria Vacations was very responsive when I asked questions. I highly recommend!

The house was perfect and you cannot beat the beach access! We drank coffee and watched the ocean every morning. We had an amazing view of the sunset each night. The house doesn't have an ice maker, but does have ice trays. The host delivered ice to us the first night! Everyone was so kind and helpful.

There's something special about starting the day with coffee overlooking the ocean and ending it with a beautiful sunset, Mindy! We're so glad Whispering Waves East by Anna Maria Vacations was the perfect setting for your beach getaway. It's wonderful to hear our team could help make your stay even more enjoyable by delivering ice on your first evening. Thank you for your kind words and we'd love to welcome you back for more unforgettable views and relaxing days on AMI!

Being near public beach access was kinda annoying, it could get noisy at times. The description didn’t specify that the backyard is shared with the other side of the building you’re staying in. It’s portrayed like you have the whole house to yourself, you just have half of it, the other half is rented out as well. It’s kinda outdated and could use some TLC. But overall it’s a good place to stay.
