Had a fantastic stay at Castnetter. Thank you so much Donna and Alan. The property is in a fantastic location right across the road from Manatee beach which is beautiful. The property was clean and equipped with everything you need including beach chairs and umbrellas which we found to be so convenient. The property is brilliantly air conditioned and even has an outdoor shower which is so convenient after a trip to the beach. Donna was kind enough to inform us of some good places to eat. The property is also just across the road from a trolley bus stop which takes you up and down the island for free and there are plenty of stops along the way. Alan was kind enough to answer many questions I had about the island. We couldn't fault this property at all it was perfect for our needs. We love Anna Maria and this property made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. We were extremely sad to leave the island and we are already planning to return next year. Thank you again Donna and Alan. Charlotte and Ricky

Loved, loved, loved the unit. The location was good and the beach was right across the street. There was more available in the unit than what was described which was a plus. My husband and I will definitely be back. Alan was super accommodating, even offering a portable crib and high chair for our little one. He's very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. You won't regret staying here.

This was our first time to use airbnb. We found this room adorable and very clean. I am a clean nut and this was spotless. The quilt on the bed is even cuter than the one in this picture. Striped with beach colors and a fun toss pillow. The bed and pillows were super comfy. Even though we usually prefer a King bed, with the comfort of this bed it didn't impact us to have a Queen. The room is small, but they have made it very efficient. A full size refrigerator is in one side of the sliding closet with hangers and room to hang items on the other side. There are a few places with missing tiles in the closet and under one side table, but nothing major. One handle on the dresser is broken, so difficult to use that drawer, but could be easily fixed. I'm assuming owner just doesn't know about it. Renters can be tough on property. It has a microwave, convection oven, toaster, coffee pot, dishes, silverware and everything you need. I thought it was really thoughtful how they provided nice wooden tv trays. The bathroom is a small step up to the right of the bed. There is a room air conditioner, not central air. It is adjustable to control the temperature, but as a room air conditioner it is a bit loud. It didn't effect me, but my husband had some trouble sleeping the first night with it cycling off and on. He's a light sleeper, so I think for most it would be fine. I had no problem. The pool is clean and right outside the windows behind the couch. It was relaxing to sit out there and read and it's almost all shaded. We did not go in as we were at the beach all day, but it seemed very quiet; it is large enough to go for a dip, but not to swim laps.

The Castnetter Beach Resort was immediately inviting and full of beach charm and comfort. It is located directly across the street from the public beach and walking distance to anything your heart desires. The studio itself is quaint and cozy with a wonderfully comfortable bed and access to the units pool. The entire property was well kept and spotless, boasting beautiful palm trees pool side, a gorgeous deck and out door area with gas grill. It is obvious to tell that the owners take pride in their property and genuinely care about the happiness of their guests. This location is amazing!!! We enjoyed a mimosa on the beach at sunrise and frolicked in the ocean at sunset. Best time ever! We will return.

Alan did everything to make us feel welcome at his beautiful property! Everything was as described and more and the area is great! It's just a short walk across the street to the public beach which we enjoyed a few days, but we also really loved the small heated pool and lounge chairs just outside our window. Alan was always available for communication and even let us extend our stay an extra day because we love it so much! We would definitely recommend staying here and plan to come back next year with more of the family!

This was a great place to stay for our first trip to the Gulf Coast. It is right across the street from the beach, but do take note that you have to cross a street that was busier than we expected and there are cars coming around corners in both directions. However, you can walk a block up the street to a crosswalk to cross more safely. There is a parking lot and a "strip mall" like building once you cross the street before you get to the beach. The "strip mall" has a restaurant, which was very good, a store for souvenirs, sunscreen, and beach gear, a visitor center, and I believe you can rent beach and water things somewhere in there as well. The beach entrance has a play area for kids, volleyball nets, and a couple of picnic tables. The beach itself is beautiful. The island of Anna Maria is really lovely. We visited many beaches over our trip and Holmes Beach and Coquina Beach were among the busiest. We were very close to a Publix grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar Tree, and several small restaurants and shops. We ate at the Old Hamburg Schnitzelhaus one night and it was wonderful. The apartment was nice with a comfortable queen size bed and a pull out couch that was maybe full size. The couch bed was pretty hard, but it was useful since we are a party of 3. There is a refrigerator with freezer in the closet and the dresser has a microwave, toaster oven, and toaster on top and dishes in some of the drawers. There is even an electric fry pan on top of the fridge. The washer and dryer is located in a room off the carport. There are actually two of each. It was very clean and very handy to be able to wash our clothes after all that salt water and sunscreen. Bring your own high efficiency detergent. The carport also contains many items for your use like beach chairs. The pool was great as it is just a few steps to the gate outside the door of your room. There are a couple of lounge chairs and a pool float or two. There is also a grill you can use. Parking is right outside the door to the apartment making loading and unloading luggage easy. It was a fun stay and we can't wait to come back and explore more of the Gulf Coast.

Super süße Unterkunft. Alles da und noch viel mehr Überraschungen! Tolle Lage direkt am Beach! Alan hilft immer! Nur zu empfehlen!

Great location and wonderful host.

Allen is a great guy and host. He was always there if you needed him and is easy to talk with. His place is quaint, quiet and cozy and was perfect for my transition from Tennessee to Florida, coming ahead of my family. The place is only 8 or 9 houses away from the beautiful white sand beach of Anna Maria Island. I stayed for two wonderful months, I would recommend this place to anyone. Even though I am now a Floridian, my wife and I will rent this place again in the near future because of its location and coziness.

everything went well,minor issues were taken care of right away.

Allen was great. His place is a block from the beach. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice stay Christmas week. Location is only 1 block from the beach. House is cozy and well suited for one or two people. Kitchen is a bit small for a lot of cooking but adequate for lite cooking. Nice large tv with lots of DVDs.

We liked the place very much ! There is a lot do : beach, yoga, standup paddeling, jogging, and nice Restaurants around.

Great location , very clean , less than 2 min walk to the beach. Would recommend for nice beach get away would definitely come back again

This is a lovely, spacious, spotless and welcoming cottage. It's a block from the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty to do on the island, but you'll also be very happy sitting out front under the sea grape tree, relaxing. The only must-do is to catch sunset. We will be back to stay here, and we can't wait.

Great place and a great location. We loved it and would come back again.

Karen is awesome, and the location of this property is also awesome! Quiet, clean, and the beach is quintessential old Florida.

Adorable. Well decorated and well stocked. Everything from appliances to cookware was new and high end! The proximity to the beach is perfect and the pool was great too.

Look at the pictures. Read the description. Expect more! This condo is exactly as advertised but includes more. Spacious, newly renovated (felt like we were the first to stay here,) and clean! Karen thought of thing you need that we didn't even realized we needed! Example: insulated tote and freezer pack to take lunch on the go! Even the beach umbrella is top of the line and easy to use. Love the complex, beach, and convenience of shopping near by. Can't think of a thing needed that wasn't provided! STAY HERE!

Coastal Comfort is a fantastic place! Beautifully decorated, super comfortable & a killer location. Steps to the beach! Also, it is walking distance to the grocery store, some restaurants & the trolley stop. It is perfect for a couple. Don't pass this one up!

Home away from home! Short walk to Holmes beach, perfect private pool to cool off in before retiring into the cozy little beach condo with every amenity you need for the family. Lots to do in Bradenton including museums, shopping, dining, and beaches.

A perfect location, beach access right across the street with very little public parking so the beach is not crowded here. Building is well maintained, pool is sparkling and heated to a perfect 85. Unit is freshly renovated, kitchen and bathroom are very tastefully done, big walk-in shower and all new appliances including dishwasher and disposal. Nice patio in back, perfect for coffee and breakfast, and with a gas grill. We were very pleased and had a wonderful week.

Comfortable and cozy. Great location on a quiet corner across from beach.

My first airbnb experience - excellent! Great place, great location, great parking. Tons of towels, necessary equipment - and more! Lovely pool area! We had a fabulous stay. Host was extremely responsive.

5 star all day long, you can't beat the rate for the location. Unit is spotless, in a great area and in a quiet complex directly on the gulf. We enjoyed the pool area which was also well maintained. We would stay again without hesitation and plan on doing so again in the near future.

Mario was terrific. He always responded promptly to email and we were impressed by the little things he did which show that the cares - chocolate chip cookies, juice, shampoo, area maps etc.

His is a cute and quaint little beach house. We really loved how convenient it was to walk to the beach and all restaurants.

My stay at the Cozy Beachouse was seamless. Mario was great at responding to my inquiries in a timely manner. He was very kind and courteous. The Beachhouse was clean and comfortable and having the beach so close by was wonderful...I'm an extremly satisfied traveler!

Our host made us feel very welcomed. The description of location and environment was right on target.

Mario and his wife are great hosts! It was a pleasure to meet them and get to hear about the island. Communication was always great. Mario was quick to respond to any questions before the trip and checked in with us to see if we needed anything while we were there. The duplex is adorable and in a fantastic location! It was stocked with everything we needed and the short two block walk to the beach was easy. The area is very quaint. We really enjoyed the all the cute shops nearby and the pier. It is an easy 10 minute walk from one side of the island to the other so easy to catch a beautiful sunrise on one side, stroll back along the beach, and catch the sunset on the other side that evening. We also rented bikes, at Mario's wonderful suggestion, which is a fabulous way to get to see the island. We loved our visit and highly recommend staying with Mario. We look forward to returning soon!

Best location on the island and Mario could not have been a better or more responsive host. We're looking forward to coming back.

The host made us feel welcome, the place was great, except the master bedroom bed was a tiny bit small for my wife and I but overall just a minor insignificance to an amazing stay at the Cozy Beachhouse.

Great stay! This was our first Airbnb experience, and we were very pleased! The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood with a short walk to the beach and pier. It was a short trip down to the beach, no problem carrying chairs, umbrella, etc. And BY THE WAY all of the beach supplies you need/want are all waiting for you in a huge, well-stocked closet. All of the comforts of home, too. We used the fully-equipped kitchen and found everything we needed/wanted to prepare meals. We felt as if we were guests in his home, not just tenants. Mario called us at check-in time, to make sure everything was ok, then he came by a little while later, to show us where we could store our bikes, do our laundry, etc. There is a nice set of patio furniture, and our host came by in the morning to put out the cushions for us! (He had taken them inside the garage the night before, because it was raining.) The entire experience was easy and smooth. Highly recommend this place.

Had a great stay at Cabin 2, everything in the apartment was in good condition and clean. The area is great, just a short walk from the beach. Provided for guests use was a trolley and beach chairs plus laundry room. All extra which made our stay restful. The pool area was clean and well kept too. Cabin 2 has a small private terrace area, just perfect for eating breakfast outside, so enjoyed using it. Really can't fault this place, we hope to be back again.

Great location and. Dry quiet neighborhoods with easy walk to the beach

Answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The cottage was absolutely perfect for what I was looking for. Very much like "home"... loved it!

Kris's place on Holmes Beach was great for our weekend trip. Very convenient, very clean and great beachy decor. My teenager loved the pool area and cabin as well. It's an easy walk to the beach and the downtown shops are close by and convenient. We also biked to the pier on the far end of the island which is another nice area. For a larger group renting both cabins would be a good setup..

Kris was great at communicating and made our stay very easy. We loved the house and its proximity to both the beach and Holmes Beach. The swimming pool was a lot of fun for our little one and we appreciated the free laundry on premises. It's no wonder guests reported coming back multiple times...a little slice of heaven!

We just returned from a wonderful week-long stay at Spinnakers (Cabin 2). Everything--from the booking through the stay--was smooth and easy. Kris was excellent about responding to any questions we had and we enjoyed meeting him and his wife as they were on-site while we were there. The location is terrific. We rented a car as we enjoy doing some things 'off-Island;' however, so much of AMI is accessible by bike, the free trolley, or foot. Spinnakers is in a great section of the Island and the setting is ideal. Nestled in palm trees and foliage, it is a bit like walking into your own little piece of paradise. The little touches--like the ample supply of beach chairs, umbrellas, and wagons to transport things to the beach--were much appreciated. The laundry facility was a nice bonus and there was even a nice selection of board games, books, and DVDs for use while there. Cleanliness is a big deal when we travel and we found everything to be clean and orderly. It is apparent that Kris has put care into make Spinnakers a place where couples and families alike feel at home and comfortable. Book with confidence! Anna Maria Island is a slice of paradise and Spinnakers is a perfect base for exploring all that it has to offer.

A great place to stay! Lots of nice details, super clean and a beautiful pool. Restaurants and beach close to the house, will definetely return in the future and recommend it to my friends.

I like the location.

Great location, close to everything you may need. Owner was very professional and kind, and was concerned for tenant and happiness. Would definitely recommend this location.

Perfect location, nice room, & great host!

Matt was very helpful and extremely friendly, enjoyed his company as well as the beautiful room we got to stay in, hoping to rent from him again!

Nice clean, roomy, comfortable place and Matt is very hospitable.

We really enjoyed our stay! The room was spacious and being right on the water gave the place a nice relaxed island feel. We had fun fishing off the dock when we woke up in the am!

We loved the scenery in the backyard, sitting right by the marina.

Nice place and a nice and friendly host. Thank you very much!

Matt is a doll. Great large room and very clean. Nice comfortable bed!! Access to water and boat was perfect and we caught tons of fish and had a fish fry at the house on the grill. Matt was very easy to work with and a wonderful host. Hope to be back soon and highly recommend the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bradenton beach. The location was awesome...steps to the beach. Great view!! We were able to ride our bikes to numerous attractions. The room was clean and kitchen was was nice. Would definitely recommend!

The host canceled this reservation 336 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kim is a great host, very easy to get in touch with and fast to respond to questions.

Stayed for 10 nights at this outstanding seaside apartment. Plenty of space, nice layout, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. Excellent value and would definitely stay again.

This lovely spot helped us to make beautiful memories. Though restaurants were close by the well stocked kitchen allowed me to prepare delicious meals for my family! We hope to visit again in the future. Audie was an excellent host.

House was really clean and very cute. Looks just like the pictures. We had some minor glitches with the property management company. They were not cordial and it was tough to work with them from key pickup. House is well laid out. It is a longer walk to beach, than we thought, but that's okay. I wouldn't say this is a beach house for families with younger kids. We have three, and it's a typical white linen place and I worried about spills a lot. The host was very accessible and very accommodating. Though we had a couple hiccups, this place is very quaint, quiet, clean and in an ideal location. I would definitely recommend.

All the previous review are spot-on: clean, beautifully-decorated, and we'll-located with all the little extras that make your stay enjoyable: beach cart/chairs, good laundry machines, and well-stocked kitchen. We'd love to return next spring! I'm not even going back to fix the relentless auto-correct mistakes in this note; that's how relaxed Beach Cruiser has made me.

A great place to stay while enjoying Anna Maria Island!

tout était parfait. L'emplacement de la maison, les équipements, la quiétude du quartier et une très performante organisation pour le nettoyage et la préparation des lieux après chaque locataire.

This place was perfect for our family of three with our 6 month old baby. It was clean, well decorated, and well equipped. The mattresses are super comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and a good walk but not too far to a beach public entrance (6 blocks about). We took the trolley to Pine street to see the shops and eat out. Beautiful stay and we would definitely come back here.

The cottage was exactly as shown on the pictures. Very cozy and tastefully decorated. It was the perfect size and everything was clean and in very good shape. Great location in a residential area but close to the beach and to restaurants and small shops. Audie was a great host. He was extremely responsive and always a step ahead with providing information and helpful recommendations. We would love to come back.

Julies place is Beautiful in all ways! Comfortably sleeps 2 couples each with own bathroom; nicely decorated and colors to match the happy beach environment! Our friend a professional chef commented that the kitchen is well equipped for all our needs. The nice little bag of treats was welcoming too. Fifty yards to the best beach I've ever experienced is wonderful and AMI is just a cool scene- great little restaurants compliment the area nicely. Everything we needed for the living space, beach and the bikes to cruise AMI were nice too. A great vacation which we'd like to do again next year! Five Stars- Thanks Julie.

Appartement très propre, à 2 pas de la plage, on se croirait à la maison car il y a tout pour passer un bon séjour, cuisine tout équipée, machine à laver, parasol, jeux de plage...... Julie est disponible dès qu'on a la moindre question. Thanks a lot. Stéphanie

We enjoyed our stay very much and Julie was very nice and quick to answer any questions.

This unit is everything it claimed and more! Colorful, island theme decor really makes you feel that you've gotten away. Amazing location right next to the best section of Beach on the island. This owner really wants renters to enjoy themselves. Stocked just like you would your pun place. Fun and very comfortable!

Not only is Julie's condo beautiful, we were greeted with a welcoming bag filled with essentials while traveling to the beach (water, tooth paste, showering essentials, lip balm, chips and more). On top of her condo exceeding our expectations, Julie's quickness to responses and her contacts prior to arrival, day we arrived, midway through and day of departure, really made our trip smooth and flawless. The condo is in a great location, 2 minutes from the free trolley and steps from the beach. Julie also has folders filled with restaurants, attractions, maps and everything you need. If anyone has rented a condo through an agency before, you receive even better accommodations all while having the owner willing to talk with you.

We had a great stay. The location is very convenient and access to the beach is Awesome!! Thank you very much.

The condo was perfect! Plenty of room for our family of five. It was very clean and had everything we needed for the week. The location was great. There were several good restaurants and activities near by. The beach and pool were beautiful. We will visit again!

This is a great condo and very well equipped, better than anything we've stayed in before. We stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. The condo feels very cosy, has 2 great balconies and is very comfortable, with great sofas inside and furniture on the balconies. The condo is on the beach (i.e.no road to cross) making it easy and quick to go between the two. The beach by the condo was fabulous. Overall, I would certainly recommend this condo.

LOVED Cozy Cottages on the bay... The room: not just a room - a cozy cottage! Very clean, bright, and well equipped. The location: Really enjoyed parking our car and not having to move it until we left. You can walk to shops, restaurants, entertainment, and of course Bradenton Beach. The view: Beautiful view and a nice dock on the bay. The host: Gracious, helpful, and so sweet!

Deanna had a completely honest and upfront description of the facility. It was super clean, warming, and even had a notebook outlining local things to do and places to eat. Her mom was there to meet us upon arrival and made us feel very welcomed. The location was in the middle of all action and in walking distance to great restaurants. My wife and I spent a couple hours reading on the dock while watching all the fish jump out of the water! It was amazing!

Deanna was a wonderful host and very accommodating. She was flexible with our check-in time and let us park early. The cottage is in the best spot in Bradenton....we were only a block away from the beach AND restaurants. You can't beat that! The cottage was very cute and had everything we could have possibly needed. We will be back!!!

Unbelievable location and lovely people. Would recommend to everyone visiting the island. The permitted use of beach equipment was a great bonus. Thanks again and my girlfriend and I will be back again.

Deanna was terrific and so was the accommodation! She was responsive and met us there with all of the helpful information we needed. The property is in a lovely location with a private dock for the handful of units she owns. The place was clean and cheery and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay! Thanks Deanna.... We hope to return again soon!

Everything couldn't have been better. The place was nicer then the pictures could show,the location was perfect and the host was amazing.Would go back in a second!!!!

Deanna met us at the inn and was very welcoming. She showed us around and the studio was charming and had a wonderful view of the bay. We did not want to leave!

Thank you again, Deanna, for that warm and friendly welcome. It was a cold evening, but the studio was warm. It turned out to be everything it said in the listing: spectacular views, close to the beach. Ample towels provided, and two beach chairs. Some gorgeous sunrises, seen from our bed...

Anna's place was picture perfect. Right across the street from the beach. Walking distance to wonderful restaurants and the (free) island trolley. Well kept, clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need- from spices to beach toys/chairs/umbrellas/etc. It was ideal for our family of 4. I would definitely recommend it and hope to return one day soon. Thank you Anna!

Beautiful condo. Very clean and comfortable with great internal facilities and a large communal heated pool just next to the building. Fantastic location opposite the beach, a 30-second walk from the front door. The cut through brings you out just far enough down the beach from the nearby resort to be quiet and secluded, while said resort is only a 5 minute walk up the beach for breakfast or drinks if you wish. Some nice restaurants close by (Mr Bones and Skinnys in particular) and just a couple of minutes walk from the free shuttle bus which will take you North or South every 20 minutes until 22:30 for more restaurants and bars. Also within walking distance of a supermarket. Great communication from Anna with full details on address, entry codes etc messaged a couple of weeks before arrival. Exactly as advertised. Overall, really pleased we stayed here.

Anna's condo couldn't have been better for me and the family - it was absolutely an example of being many times better than expected. Fantastic location steps from the beach, a well stocked kitchen, a great pool, a quiet, awesome neighborhood, close to restaurants and (key) Publix. Thank you - it was fantastic!

What a perfect little beach cottage getaway. It is right across the street from a not too crowded Holmes Beach. You feel close to everything yet it has a cozy, private feel. The amenities were vast and anything you might need was available, even a pool right next to your unit. Most of all, very clean. We are definitely hoping to return to this hidden gem in the near future. Great communication from host.. Thanks Anna.

The location is fantastic. Anna Maria Island is peaceful, friendly and beautiful. The free trolley safely takes you all over the islands and beaches. The ocean is a quick walk across the street and the pool is well kept and inviting. Anna's place is clean, cute and well equipped for a great stay. The king size bed is comfortable and kitchen appliances are high end. Washer and dryer on premises ($2 wash $1.75 dry) are helpful too. Anna has a binder with suggestions for local restaurants and helpful information, we never had to contact her with questions because it was all right there for us. We would love to return to this gorgeous place.

This apartment is unbelievably beautiful. The furnishing, as well as the location of the apartement is Great and gurantees a Perfect stay. We really enjoyed our Time in AMI and can definitely recommend Anna's beautiful apartment. Thank you Anna

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment! Everything was just perfect! A lot of space and everything you could need is provided. Very nice decorated!! Pool is great for kids and the wonderful beach with stunning sunsets is just on the other side of the quiet street. We would defenitely come back if we can. Thank you so much Anna!

Anna's apartments are comfortably big and spotless. It's astonishing how well equipped they are; the kitchen is fully equipped right down to a large array of spices and other basic staples. Aside from the outdoor sitting area and dinner table, even beach accessories like umbrella, sand chairs and toys were at our disposal in a trunk on the patio. The apartments are well set up for a family vacation, and right across the street from the beach. She runs a tight ship, but when my wife and I had a family problem, Anna was very considerate. Thank you Anna!
