We had a wonderful week on Anna Maria Island! Weather did not disappoint either - sunny and clear skies.
The condo location is perfect (away from the beach traffic) with a great view of the sound. Set up easily accommodates 3 bedrooms but a dresser/storage drawers would be nice in the front bedroom. Plenty of storage in the kitchen area and the porch is a great early morning and later evening retreat.
Accessibility to Publix and some great restaurants makes this complex an ideal location.
Our only real hitch was checking in! We waited until 4:00 pm since we were advised against bringing in any luggage if we arrived early and unit was not ready. It was stifling hot outside so we looked forward to cool air. However/ the unit was not ready! The cleaning supplies were on the counter, vacuum and mop out, bathrooms not cleaned and beds not made or laundry folded!! I called the Realtor and left a message- -they did call back saying they would get on it. That took about an hour during which the rep from the cleaning company called explaining a “ mix up” in the schedules. She then came over, very apologetic, during which we did stay in the unit while it was prepared since we had permission and the mosquitos in the garage area were relentless! Maria was very accommodating and did a great job preparing the unit; however, we did not totally unload and get settled until after 7:00 pm- a rocky start to our week! And a later than anticipated dinner.
Since there were 3 couples in our unit we did request an extra fob ( to enable easy access) but that never materialized. Might be something to consider providing. In addition guests should be alerted to the need to bring their own dish washing packettes/tabs as well as some basics like salt and pepper if you plan to use the kitchen for any meals.
