The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. My children loved the pool and hot tub. It was a very short walk to the beach and conveniently located to restaurants and the grocery store. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

This was one of the best houses I have stayed at on Anna Maria Island. The house was lovely and the location was perfect. We enjoyed looking at the canal and the walk to Manatee public beach was great. It rained a lot and the covered area by the pool was awesome. Olaf's communication was great and he checked in with us a couple of times to be sure we had everything we needed. The house was super clean and very well stocked. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house, very clean, everything is provided, kids loved the pool + spa, close to the beach, everyday manantees in the canal, highly recommended. We had a great week and wanted to stay longer it was the perfect holiday. Olaf & Marissa are very nice people, thank you that we could stay at your wonderful home.

Property had everything we needed. Wonderful week. Impeccably clean, pool was perfect, along with daily watching the manatees. Distance from beach is also a very easy 3 minute walk. Ready to return already.

My family had such a wonderful time! The home is so beautiful and there were manatees swimming everyday to watch. It is a great location, close to anything you need. Even though lots of rain during our stay, one of our favorite vacations yet.

Our family of four spent a week at Manatee Watch and could not have had a better time. All four of us felt that it was one of the best places we have stayed. Olaf and Marissa were great, Olaf did a great job of communicating with me about the house, directions, check in procedures and check out procedures. He checked on us during the week to make sure our stay was going well. It was our first time using VRBO. The house is really laid out well and the bedrooms were nice. Nice big kitchen table in the well appointed kitchen. The pool and the hot tub were refreshing and easy to operate. We read other reviews about Manatee Watch, raving about watching the manatees in the water just off the deck..... We saw manatees every day!!! Very relaxing just to sit on the dock and watch the manatees. A short walk to a beach of white sands and emerald water. The beach is not crowded and was very relaxing. Turtle nests up and down the beach. The house comes equipped with beach chairs, beach toys and a beach cart. The pool has inflatable rafts. Everything you need to enjoy the beach and the pool. The location of the house was convenient to everything on Anna Marie Island and Bradenton. So many nice beaches on the Island. Olaf and Marissa provided a notebook filled with great information about where to eat and things to do, very helpful. I can't think of anything I would improve about the house. Thanks again for a great week!!!!!!!!

Okay, we use VRBO as a family often and this was hands down the best experience we EVER had! I’d rate this place 10 stars if that was an option. Olaf and Marissa were amazing property managers. They greeted us upon arrival gave us a tour and showed us how everything worked. Next the house was stocked with getting started items that are so wonderful to have right away, TP, paper towels, cooking essentials (oils, foil, plastic wrap, spices), trash bags, dish soap, hand soap for all bathrooms and countless other basic cooking and bath extras that sometimes are just not provided at rental properties. Property was immaculate and very up to date with furniture and appliances. Everything was in PERFECT working order (lights, pool, spa, comfortable beds). I could tell the management company goes to great lengths to ensure a wonderful welcome making sure everything is ready to go for guests... The home also included some pool toys, rafts, beach chairs and even a beach cart. Our cart broke one day and Olaf and Marisa replaced it in less then 1 hour with a brand new one. Amazing service. The view is magical!! We saw manatees every day, parrots, coconuts grow on tree by pool I mean just paradise! Lastly every TV is equipped with a Roku box...awesome! So be sure to bring your Netflix user name and password. Pictures of property are totally accurate. Walk to beach is less then 3 minutes AND the BEST part our part of the beach was nearly empty. All the beach crowd is to the left and pretty far away from this private spot! Sand is smooth as silk, kids will not need beach shoes...but be sure to pack sun shirts for everyone we used them every day. Lastly, I managed to leave my makeup bag behind. Property manager reached out to me immediately to let me know...very awesome. Totally first class stay all the way. The secret is out...you will LOVE this place. WILL BE BACK!!!!

This is an amazing property. House was spotless, comfortable and very well appointed with everything a family needs. Setting is beautiful...who needs Netflix when you can chill on the patio or by/in the pool and watch manatees in the canal!
Olaf and Marissa are lovely to deal with and extremely responsive. House is in a great location on AMI - it's a quick walk to manatee beach and easy drive to Bradenton beach. Anna Maria island is great and there's plenty to do with lots great restaurants.

Olaf and Marissa were excellent to work with and their attention to every detail is above and beyond! There isnt a thing we would change with this home. Clean, comfortable, picture perfect, manatees playing in the canal all day - the pool and beach toys were in great shape and clean!

This property was so clean, it’s amenities blew us away and the location is so perfect. We saw manatees everyday all day. Quiet neighborhood. We highly recommend this property.
