The location was absolutely perfect. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants. It was the perfect get away for my husband and I. Would definitely stay again (if the central air is working).

Absolutely Amazing!
We absolutely loved the location right across from the beach. The apartment was very well maintained and equipped with everything we needed for our week long stay. We definitely hope to come back in the future. Thank you so much!

Absolute perfect condo, the location, the size, all perfect. There is a trolley stop right in front of the property which is a free service & will take you from one end of the island to the other. Close to Bridge Street. The beach is right across a 2 lane road. The condo was spotless. I canât say enough good things about it! We would defiantly stay here again!

Never again
We were unable to reach the rental unit on our first night due to an island closure and Vacasa refused to give us a refund. Offered another night rental within 30 days but since we are from out of state that was not an option for us.
Also, when we were able to gain access to the property the next day, there were a couple things I texted Vacasa about and although they answered the texts immediately with "someone will get back to you", they never got back to us at all. Not a good way to run a business.
Regarding the unit itself, location was fabulous and it was very cute and clean although slightly outdated, but had everything you would need except the TV was not working properly.
We loved the place and would love to go back, but not as long as it is being managed by Vacasa.

Could be fantastic!
The location and most of the property is fantastic. Took my wife and 3 month old twin girls for our second wedding anniversary. The location across the street from the beach and walking distance to coquina and bridge Street were great. The kitchen and the few furniture pieces are extremely old and need replaced. The property also states there is a gas grill and there is none on the property if you plan on cooking a few meals. The kitchen is just run down and did not feel comfortable cooking in it. We also had the code for the door changed on us on the 3rd day which was a bit scary as we were trying to get our twins out of the heat. Support did get us in after a bit of phone tag . Only other thing the dryer will burn and mark up clothes even on delicate low heat cycles. Few of my wife's clothes were destroyed. Having said all that we still enjoyed our stay at this unit and if you are looking for something affordable close to coquina you can't go wrong. Just plan accordingly till they get some updates done to it.
Great location only thing bad to say is couch was in bad shape one arm is very weak and setting on it is painful even with pillows added under you.

Great Time!
Only issue we had was how very dark it is. Remember to turn that front poach light on!
Weather was perfect and the cottage was ideal.

Great location, clean staff barges in while we are undressed
The location is great, but the place could use some minor updating and re-decorating. We had a 10am checkout time, but the cleaning lady walks in unannounced at 9:30am while we arenât dressed! Called Vacasa to complain, no response.
Nice clean place by the beach. Everything was good. For some reason the person cottage to the park in the cottage. Three parking. No big deal but thought Iâd mention that. Kitchen cabinets could use updating. Could use a tea kettle. Everything nice though.

Great location but very outdated.
Did not use kitchen because of its condition.
Washer very noisy, living room furniture
Very old, rug dirty.
For the price not worth it.!
Location was great but the house needs a major overhaul. E
Everything is really old or broken (chairs were all broken on porch). Dirty dishes in the cupboards and panini maker had old food in it. Also never left any dish soap. There are two rugs in main area because a different renter thought the one was too dirty so bought a new one and put it over topđŹ. Not a good rental but could be of the owner cares about her renters.
We had an issue with our beach equipment. I contacted Vacasa and was told the property manager would call me. We never heard from her at all. I have never had that issue when booking with other sites.
We love Anna Maria island so we went for our honeymoon weekend. The house is in a GREAT location. Other reviewers are correct though the house is older and things are just old and almost broken. If you are just looking for a place to sleep after day events I think this is perfect. The only issue is apparently the owner lives next door with her husband and deaf dog. We think they came just to watch whoever was staying for the weekend but she was drunk the first the day we meet her and was rude. Thought we were having a party when our family came to visit the day after we just had a wedding and also since itâs literally right across the street from the beach. She called vrbo to report us having a party when that wasnât even close to the case. For that I canât say I would give this 5 stars. It also felt racist since Iâm black and my husband is white and she was extremely friendly with him until I walked up on them to her apologizing to him. She had been extremely rude to us before she knew we were her guests for the weekend when we came a bit early to see where we were located and hoping to possibly get an early check in. My first time using VRBO and it will be my last.

Cottage number 3 really has it all!!! This place is absolutely amazing. Itâs above and beyond my expectations, so cozy to every little detail! The decor and utilities all you need and more!!! I canât wait to stay again with you guys. Thank you for making our vacation Absolutely memorable.!
Keinen Code fßr die Tßre erhalten, auch nicht von der Eigentßmerin die vor Ort war. Abgewohnte, alte Unterkunft mit angeblichem Meerblick, da die Jalousie seit Wochen defekt ist, auch kein Meerblick! Totale Enttäuschung, nie wieder!
