Great little home on the bay away from the busy tourist areas

We had a wonderful experience at this little home. Enjoyed our view of the bay right outside our door, so peaceful. It was in a quiet neighborhood away from the busy tourist area but close enough that we could hop in our golf cart and be there within minutes. We even had a dolphin visit us one morning. The dock was still missing from the hurricane, hopefully they will rebuild it at some point. Would definitely stay there again.

Staying four nights at Anaa-Maria-Isalnd

Overall, everything was ok for my four-day stay and cleanliness was at a high level. Individual points worth mentioning: - Adapt access data for WIFI access in the information folder. - top: The availability of the small transport trolley - a small beach umbrella would have been desirable

We had a wonderful holiday here. Loved the calm quiet canal. Saw wildlife and even watched the rescue of a manatee right in front of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Would suggest a keurig. Makes coffee much easier to make and less cleanup Just a few issues with the unit that need to be addressed. The slider is very difficult to open and close. The ceiling fan in the primary bedroom was too noisy to use. Thank you for an easy check in and out.

Some cosmetic damages to certain things like the kitchen door. The view outback is incredible. We saw dolphins each morning. Beds were clean and comfortable. The back door is kind of janky and could be fixed too.

The photos of the house are accurate. If you’re looking for a luxury home, this is probably not it for you. But it is clean, well stocked, the beds are comfy and it’s a fabulous location. We really enjoyed sitting out and watching the canal for porpoises and manatee.

Little Piece of Paradise

Nice place in amazing location. Home is older, but it has been renovated in some areas and was clean. It’s located at the end of a cul de sac on the water an has a huge dock. Neighborhood is super quiet so it was very peaceful sitting outside at sunrise/sunset. We brought our golf cart as there was plenty of parking for our trailer. It was nice to cruise on it from our place to the store and restaurants. Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Idyllic Waterfront Getaway: Serenity Meets Convenience

Our stay at this waterfront rental was fantastic, offering the perfect setting for our first island trip. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, yet conveniently close to the beach, dining, and attractions by golf cart or car, the location couldn’t be better. Despite a minor hiccup with the back door alarm, which led us to use the front door and enjoy a scenic walk to our covered porch and beautiful waterfront dock, our experience was seamless. The cozy and comfortable bed ensured restful sleep, making our accommodation ideal for relaxation and recharge. In essence, this rental is a gem for those seeking tranquility with easy access to island adventures. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!
