This property is in a premier location, 1/2 block to beach access and an easy walk to Pine Avenue, the heart of the city of Anna Maria. The front roof decks are a nice place to sit at night.
Our comments are relative to the price paid and the description on the website. The home is badly in need of a refresh (although the kitchen seemed to be recently remodeled) and a deep clean. There were visible signs of deferred maintenance (range hood did not work, under the roof flashing missing or unattached, etc.) I generally walked away feeling that the owner needs to put some money into this property, as it could be so much more). The beach gear was in poor condition (umbrella inoperable, beach chairs rather ratty, etc.). We found the backyard decks/space uninviting.
Pay close to attention to the property manager's comments re: supplies provided; they are very sparse.
Anna Maria Island is a charming place that we often return to and have a point of comparison to other rental properties. This is one we wouldn't return.
