Rest a Shore, Anna Maria Vacation Rental

Ladies weekend getaway

Beautiful view, open concept, very clean property. We could not figure how to get warm water and the property management was there within the hour. We will come back. Our recommendation for a even more perfect stay: provide chairs by pool, floats, canvas over a part of pool, information on where to park for beach, take out menus and a few extra towles.

A relaxing getaway from the snow
This was a last-minute booking, after a year of no travel, us working from home, and my youngest daughter doing remote school, we decided we needed a change of scene and why not work and do school from somewhere as fabulous as Anna Maria while you can. We had never been before, but it had been on my radar. My college-age sons, were home for Christmas, and would have normally left to go back to college for the new year but decided to join us for the two weeks - so an extra bonus for us. The house was a perfect size for a family of 5. Everyone with their own room, plenty of space, and privacy. The wifi didn't quite cut it for the three of us on zoom at the same time but the management company sent someone right away to bring a wifi booster which helped. The outside furniture had no cushions, but after mentioning it, they had new cushions for us by the next day! So I would say the service from them is really top-notch and is the reason we have booked another two weeks. We really want to see what it's like in the warmer months and look forward to being able to swim in the bay. There would be a few extras I think the owners should perhaps add - like a big rug in the living room (it's a big space and feels cold and echoey without any rugs) and some beach items like beach chairs or umbrella as we are flying in and can't bring that with us. We rented bikes and rode to the beach for walks, or cocktails at the Sandbar. The master bedroom is enormous, with a walk-in closet that you could live in! Not really needed but so nice. The house is at the very end of a quiet road. There is a sushi restaurant right by us at the marina, but we never tried it. The views are really something special, and the main reason we are coming back. The location is really fabulous. The bedroom downstairs by the pool has amazing views, so would be the second favorite room and my kids are fighting over who is staying there next time. The house is a little bit dated compared to some of the fresh new ones in the area, but the location and views make up for it. Even the sweet front garden has some lovely plantings and a swing. The pool was a perfect temperature in January, which we really didn't expect! Huge bonus points! I am really excited to go back.

You won't regret staying here. The views, the weather, and the wild life are second to none. We've stayed on the island 5-6 times and by far this place is the best. The only downer to it is if you like to cook you will have to bring just about everything little thing you need. Not equipped with a lot of supplies. All that to say the location makes up for it!!
