Backyard Oasis

This was our 4th trip to Anna Maria Island and our 3rd time booking with Claire & Emma. We loved this property and especially this management team! Of all the places we have stayed on Anna Maria Island this one had the best pool!! We could not pull our kids out of it and the built-in swim up table had them begging for breakfast at the pool every morning. The property had perfect accommodations. -Kathie

Close to the Beach

We were with friends at Anna Maria island and stayed at Emerald Bay. We were a group of 7 adults,the house was wonderful, so modern and beachy, plenty of room for all of us. The outside pool, hot tub and private backyard was amazing! We enjoyed many of our special beverages and meals there. It was only a few minutes walk down to the beautiful beach and swimming in the turquoise ocean water -Diana

The home is nicely appointed. There are three king bedrooms and a room with two sets of bunk beds which worked out great for our three children. Two of the king bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom and the other has a full bath right next to it. The beds are very comfortable! The pool is heated which is fantastic on the cooler days. The hot tub a plus. The location of the home to the beach is EXCELLENT and the home is well stocked with a beach cart, chairs and beach towels. There are two adult bikes but we didn't use them. It's centrally located to Pine Avenue and the grocery store, Walgreens, etc. A trolley stop is just around the corner. Claire was fantastic to work with and very prompt at replying. Go and enjoy!

My wife and I have 2 kids and we rented this property along with my sister, her husband, and their 2 kids (4 adults, 4 kids). It was perfect!! We could have fit more people. Each of the 3 rooms has its own beautiful bathroom which made it great for our setup. The style and decor is really wonderful and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The two bunk beds (sleeps 4 people) is a nice touch which allows you to sleep more people. The pool!!! Having our own pool made all the difference. The pool was the perfect size for our kids and for the adults to relax. The umbrella built in to the swim up table is a really nice touch especially when you need a break from the sun. The walk to the beach is easy. Only takes a few minutes. The neighborhood is calm and safe. It's a great location because you can get to all of the island really quick. We loved our stay and loved working with Emma! We hope to be back next year!- Dustan

Best rental we’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated with a fun beach vibe, and stocked with everything you could need (including all kitchen cookware). The pool was the best! And in the late afternoon the palms start shading it and making it so pleasant to hang out in. It’s a two-block walk to a stunning white-sand beach that was never super crowded during our stay. We always had a place to set up our family of five (and hello—there’s an awesome wagon to carry all your stuff!). Highly highly recommend this place. - Marta
