I was worried with the rental being a duplex (noise, privacy, etc)…. Do not worry! I forgot we even shared a wall with someone! The house was super clean and well decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed plus more- even a waffle maker for a special breakfast one morning. The pool was AMAZING, it was paradise. I loved the keyless entry, the iPad for check-in and information, and the amount of beach towels, pool chairs, floats, beach accessories (even umbrellas, wagon, and a cooler was available). The parking was perfect for two cars plus our golf cart rental. The location the the beach was awesome- we have short legs and it still only took us about one minute to walk to the beach, even with a 4 and 5 year old. We went with grandparents, so having one-level was important to us. The doors were all wood doors, so the privacy and ability for grandparents to sleep in with the kids awake was a huge plus! The internet was perfect, TVs with cable in every room was nice, too. We loved our stay and hope to rent this property from island dreams again every year. I cannot say enough great things about this rental. We have rented from about a dozen companies/individuals in 5 states and many beaches… this was by far the best experience , house and location! Date of arrival - July 24, 2021

The house and the pool was great. The only disappointment we had was the weather and the Red Tide. Date of arrival - July 31, 2021

It was better than we expected! The property was everything we knew it would be but the location to the beach was better than we thought. Everything from start to end was great. We will definitely be back and can't wait.

So Well stocked in kitchen, patio, furniture, beach and pool items! Clean, EXCELLENT mattresses and lots of towels! Two complimentary water bottles in frig when we arrived...we were so happy and so thirsty! Cozy, friendly atmosphere. Foliage could have been better trimmed for sunlight. My only disappointment was the lanai cluttered with several fallen palm branches and some dead plants.

. Very clean and well equipped. We truly enjoyed our vacations. Very easy to communicate with. . Especially liked your system for getting into house. Would recommend your services. Published Mar 31, 2021

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay over the week of Thanksgiving. The house is in a great location, just steps from the beach, and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels and stuff for the beach like chairs and an umbrella. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc and the grill had a backup propane tank just in case. The house was very clean when we arrived and well maintained overall. The private pool and patio was perfect for our family of four. Would definitely go back and highly recommend.

We loved the house with pool, house was clean and had plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Very short 1 block walk to beach although we rented a golf cart and you can drive it anywhere on beach. Published Oct 22, 2020

Great First visit to Anna Maria Island. House was very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels and beach towels. It was nice having a wagon to haul items to the beach that were made available for guest to use such as chairs and umbrellas. Nice, private Lanai and heated pool.. Location was perfect with a short 3 minute walk to the beach. I did not have transportation during the day as husbands were golfing so I rented a bike and explored the island. I would definitely rent this house again, and refer friends. Sorry for the late review of your property. Published Apr 22, 202

This place was everything we expected and more, my only complaint was the dryer door does not stay open and it hits you in the head while your switching laundry over..but everything else was perfect. Thank you Alex for your patience with us, and we are glad we were able to still come during COVID-19. Will definitely be back to this home again! Also this house has an abundance of beach towels..that is an awesome perk Published Jul 9, 2020

The close proximity to the beach and a backyard pool were ideal for our young family. With plenty of towels and beach toys included. Our only complaint was the bedroom mattress super hard and uncomfortable. Also the pillows were sub par for the quality of the property. We did not get quality sleep. But everything else about the house was awesome! Published Apr 11, 2020

Our family of 6 loved our stay at this house. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach and all beach supplies were there for us to use. The kids really enjoyed the pool as well-we used it everyday of our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed from kitchen to bath to laundry. The house is located in a great area of the island-close to shops, restaurants and trolley access. We highly recommend and would stay here again.

Such a great home and location, we were all very happy. The beach entrance is so close and the home had absolutely everything that we needed. There are a few beach items available, which we got good use out of and the umbrellas by the pool made all the difference when trying not to get a sunburn. The welcome package from the home owner was very thoughtful and also included in aloe just in case. The pool area and landscaping is very pretty.

We loved our stay at Windshore A. This was our first time on AMI and it was the perfect place to stay. It had everything we needed. The salt water pool was great and my 3 young boys loved it. (ages 9,9 & 7) The walk to the beach was SO quick and easy. The beach cart was awesome for transporting things back and forth. The beach chairs could use an upgrade but overall were fine. The beds were all comfortable and we had everything we needed during our stay. Our ice maker on the fridge was not working, so a few bags of ice were delivered to the house for us to use until they could have it fixed. Great customer service! Overall you will not be disappointed staying here. It was a great first experience on AMI and we would rent Windshore A again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here with my parents and our 2 kids. Perfect for all 6 of us. We walked to the beach daily - only a block away. The place is equipped with plenty of pool and beach toys. Our kids loved loading up the beach wagon with buckets and shovels for building sand castles on the beach. The heated pool was perfect for the kids. The outdoor area is nice and shaded in the evenings to enjoy dinner at the table. We walked to restaurants and shops - all within a mile. We will for sure be coming back! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Missing it already- 5 of us stayed for a week last week. We couldn't ask for better weather. Loved the community and cleanliness of the area and home. Before our arrival had great communication with booking company in very timely manner. If you want somewhere to escape and not overly crowded this is the place. Beach was perfect and white sand and blue water - calm most days Even saw several dolphins in our swimming area . Lots of food options just a trolley or short driving or little longer walk distance away. Took trolley a time or two. Had 3 teenagers with and felt fine to let them explore the area. Fully stocked with necessities / towels/ beach towels etc. Will be looking to return in future.

This house was perfect for our family of 5. The pool is nice and clean. The water temperature was set to a temperature that I would consider heated unlike some of our rentals in the past. We were also setup with enough laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher soap, toilet paper and trash bags to get us through our stay (unlike some other owners which give you one roll per bathroom and 2 extra trash bags). The location of the house is awesome. We were a short walk across Gulf Dr from the beach (traffic on that end of the island is light). There was a northbound and southbound trolley distance real close by so it made using the trolley to go to Pine Ave and Publix real easy. We will definitely rent again.

Wonderful Home great location and a fantastic pool

We stayed for 7 nights and had the perfect vacation. Beach is right around the corner and pool was big enough for 6 people.

I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing our trip was! The house provided everything we could have asked for. Our weather was a tad chilly while we were there but the pool was heated to a perfect temperature so my kids could still enjoy every minute in the water. It is the perfect distance to the beach as well as walking to any of the shops or restaurants. If you don't like walking that far the troll stop is just at the end of the road. Thank you Anna Maria for providing my family with amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Windshore A was great!! Pool was beautiful and so was the home. Very clean and had everything we needed. Short walk to beach too. I would definitely recommend to others

Very clean, cozy and cute bedrooms. Great kitchen and very tropical feeling in the pool area. The only complaint would be the lack of beach chairs and the lightin situation in the living room. All in all a wonderful place to stay and close to the beach.

We had a great time! Everything was in perfect condition and was very clean! We are looking to return next year and make this a yearly trip!

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this location. We had an awesome time. Clean, comfortable and fun.

We had a very positive first time experience at Windshore A. The location can not be beat. The rental was very clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything you need. The private pool was perfect for our 9, 11, and 13 year old. We have already booked our trip for next year. One suggestion - It would be nice if the rental offered beach chairs.

Ideal location, close to beach and free trolley. House very clean and all amenities. Alex very welcoming and helpful, providing a professional service. Will definitely return.

Great home in a great location! Kids loved the pool!

My family and I had lots of fun staying here. This house is very warm and cozy. The pool is fun for not just the kids but the adults too! I recommend this nice house to anyone who wants to go on vacation with their family.

Comfy, clean and great for family. Location convenient to restaurants and beach.

This home is in a great location and very close to the beach!

What a great place! We really enjoyed our stay in this nice house and being so close to the beach. Our son more or less learned how to swim in the pool without his "schwimmflügel". We love Anna Maria Island and that was our first longer stay here, we will for sure come back! Thanks again!

Wir kommen gerade zurück aus AMI, wo wir zwei wunderbare Wochen im Windshore A mit unseren 2 Kindern ( 1 + 4 Jahre ) verbracht haben. Das Haus und die Lage sind geradezu perfekt um einen entspannten Familienurlaub zu genießen. Pool, Stand - Stand, Pool, das waren im Wesentlichen die Wege, die unsere Kids zurück gelegt haben. Durch die Nähe des Hauses zum Strand war es problemlos möglich z.B. für eine Mittagspause / -Schlaf nach Hause zu gehen und anschließend wieder zurück. Toll ( wenn auch etwas schwer ) war der Strand-Bollerwagen, der täglich zum Einsatz kam und mit den vielen im Haus vorhandenen Strandutensilien bestückt, das perfekte Stranderlebnis möglich machte. Dass die Strände auf AMI und in der ganzen Umgebung ein Traum sind, müssen wir nicht erwähnen, das ist einer der Gründe, weshalb man einen Urlaub an Floridas Westküste macht. Die Abwicklung des Urlaubes, die persönliche Betreuung vor Ort ( 1000 Dank Chinan für Deinen Nachteinsatz beim Stromausfall ) und das drum herum ( vom Babybett bis zu den Handtüchern ) waren perfekt. Das Haus ist genau so, wie beschrieben, der Pool ein Traum. Es waren wirklich 2 tolle, entspannte, erholsame Wochen. Nochmals vielen Dank an die Familie Krämer und das ganze Team, die uns dies ermöglicht haben.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Woche die wir in diesem Traumhaus verbringen durften. Vom ersten Kontakt bis zur Einweisung ins Haus hat alles super geklappt. Das Haus ist super - mit viel liebe eingerichtet und es hat alles da was man benötigt. Die Poolanlage ist ein Traum. Der große Treppeneinstieg in den Pool war vor allem für unseren 1jährigen Sohn toll - so konnte er sich dort immer hinsetzen und spielen. Die Lage ist ebenfalls toll - der Strand ist nur eine Minute zu Fuß entfernt. Der Trolley Stop ist ebenfalls in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Wir verlebten eine wunderschöne Zeit in diesem tollen Haus. Die Einrichtung ist hochwertig und macht einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck. Das Mobiliar im Aussenbereich waren neu und ansprechend. Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war herzlich und wir würden mit vielen Tipps und guten Hinweisen versorgt. Die Lage ist perfekt, man ist innerhalb einer Minute zu Fuß am herrlichsten Strand, den man sich vorstellen kann und hat ihn praktisch für sich allein. Die Küche ist sehr groß und komplett ausgestattet. Fernsehen im Pool mit den Aussenlautsprechern klappte hervorragend. Das ganze Haus, insbesondere die Schlafzimmer und Bäder waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. Auf den Bildern hatten wir einen kleien Grill gesehen und uns auf das Barbecue gefreut, vor Ort fanden wir einen großen Weber Grill, perfekt. Wenn es uns möglich ist werden wir immer wieder gerne zurückkommen.

Das Haus und seine Lage ist ein Traum. Wer seinen Alltag im Urlaub vergessen möchte ist hier aus den folgenden Gründen genau richtig: Ein traumhafter großer und beheizter Pool, der mit einem kleinen Tisch und Sonnenschirm ausgestattet ist. Dieser lädt schon gleich nach dem Aufstehen zu einem gemütlichen Kaffee im Pool ein. Der Pool wird zweimal in der Woche von einer Firma gemessen und gereinigt. Der Außenbereich ist komplett mit Zaun und Palmen eingefasst und sehr ruhig. Sehr wichtig: Die Sonne ist den ganzen Tag an verschiedenen Abschnitten zu finden. Das bedeutet im Umkehrschluss, dass man auch jederzeit Schatten haben kann. Im Außenbereich findet sich ein neuwertiger Weber-Grill, an dem wir fast jeden Abend Maiskolben und Steaks gegrillt haben. Kann man sich von dem Poolgelände losreißen, dann geht man etwa 150-200 Meter aus dem Haus und kommt zu einem der schönsten Strände, die wir je gesehen haben. Breiter weißer Sandstrand und türkisblaues Meer. Das kristallklare Wasser war warm und es findet sich bis in tiefere Lagen kein einziger Stein - alles Sand. Was diesen Strand aber so einmalig macht ist, dass es sich um keinen öffentlichen Strand handelt. An normalen Wochentagen kann es sein, dass man im Umkreis von 20 Metern keinen weiteren Strandbesucher um sich hat. Es gibt keine Verkäufer, keine ausgelegten Handtücher, keine Hotelbunker, (auch keine Restaurants und Cafés im direkten Umfeld). Man hat einfach nur seine Ruhe und ist umgeben von netten Menschen. Es fliegen Pelikane, am Strand laufen Wasservögel zwischen den Gästen und wenn man Vormittags oder Abends Glück hat, kann man sogar Delphine an der Küste springen sehen. Jeden Abend kann man über dem Meer die fantastischsten Sonnenuntergänge bewundern. Die Insel selbst ist sehr schön angelegt und hat einen eigenen Charme. Durch die Verordnung dort, dürfen nur Häuser mit max. Palmenhöhe gebaut werden. Es handelt sich hierbei vordringlich um Mietobjekte, die alle sehr geschmackvoll gebaut sind und alle sehr saubere und gepflegte Außenanlagen haben. Das Haus selbst ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht und was in der Beschreibung angegeben ist. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und machte einen gepflegten und neuwertigen Eindruck. Von der Buchung bis zur Abreise hat alles problemlos funktioniert - fast so, als wären die Eigentümer mit dabei. Wir waren extrem zufrieden, sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal dort und würden dieses Haus jederzeit an Freunde und Bekannte weiter empfehlen.

Um direkt die vorgebenen Punkte zu beantworten: Q: Wie korrekt waren die Angaben im Online-Inserat bezüglich Lage, Ausstattung etc.? A: Die Angaben waren korrekt und ich war begeistert von der Inneneinrichtung und vom beheizten Außenpool mit den Whirlpooldüsen. Q: Wie war der allgemeine Zustand des Feriendomizils (war es sauber, gepflegt etc.?) A: Der Zustand des Hauses war tipp topp. Begeistert war ich aber wie schon gesagt vom Pool und der Inneneinrichtung. Besonders die großzügige Küche war ein Traum! Q: Fühlten Sie sich durch den Vermieter gut vorbereitet bzw. betreut? A: Absolut. Im Haus waren Infos, Flyer und Coupons und das Infoheft mit den Informationen zur Region und den Freizeitmöglichkeiten waren sehr hilfreich. Q: Würden Sie dieses Feriendomizil Ihren Freunden weiterempfehlen? A: Nur dann, wenn ich selbst nicht vorhabe nach Florida zu fliegen, weil dann wohne ich definitiv nur da! Q: Welche Freizeitmoeglichkeiten, besondere Attraktionen, Restaurants sind empfehlenswert? A: Das Infoheft verweist auf verschiedene Restaurants und Attraktionen, die ich sehr gerne weiterempfehle. Besonders hat uns das wirklich nahegelegene Beach Bistro fasziniert. Und wie wir später erfahren haben, gehört es zu den Top US Restaurants. Sehr freundlich war auch der VIP Gutschein zum Einkaufen in den ebenfalls nahegelegenen Outlets, den wir ehielten. Auf jeden Fall war unser Aufenthalt gerade wegen dieses Hauses ganz besonders und wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch.
