We were able to get away for a few days and found this great reasonably-priced rental near the tip of Anna Marie Island managed by Anna Marie Vacations. Management staff were great at communicating information about the property and check-in, with e-mails and follow-up calls. This was appreciated since we were arriving late, in the dark and in the rain. The unit was everything advertised and very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped with pot and pans, dishes, glasses and utensils. A 'start-up' kit was provided for the kitchen and bathroom so there were soaps, shampoo, sponges and cloths, etc... to get started and this more than covered our 4-night stay. General store is 0.8 miles away for other supplies if you do not get them before coming onto the island. There were only two of us, but the unit would be spacious for two couples (two bedrooms with king-sized beds) or a family.
The pool was clean and relaxing. Most important was that the beach is only a few blocks (minutes) away in three directions! Easily walkable. Going straight up Fern, we were at the tip Bean Point beach. Right on Alamanda brings you to the Rod and Reel Pier (great restaurant). Left on Alamanda brings you eventually to the gulf side. There are no beach chairs or umbrellas at the property so you might need to rent them. We had a great stay and wish we could have stayed much longer!
