Outstanding Beach House

"My husband and I travelled with friends and family last week and stayed in this house. The house was very well maintained, walking distance to the beach and close to many restaurants. We can't say enough about the backyard and pool. The landscaping truly made it feel like an island paradise. We spent most of the week swimming and cooking outside. The crows nest offers great views of the bay and the gulf of Mexico. Missy was easy to get in touch with and was very accomodating to our group. I highly recommend this house for a beach getaway. 10 out of 10 stars from our group."

Highly Recommend

"Wonderful location, and a short walk to the beach. It is a spacious - beautiful, clean home. Fantastic communication & easy check-in and check out process. If we or anyone we know is going to AMI we will recommend staying here. Definitely a 5 star is my book."

Wonderful Week with Family

"The house was wonderful. The pool was great. Everything needed was supplied with the home."

Loved this House!

"Our family of 7 adults and 2 six-year-olds had a wonderful time at this house! It can be hard to find houses with 4 king beds plus beds for kids and this was perfect. Nobody had the "bad room" - they were all great! The kids LOVED the arcade game and we all enjoyed the pool. There were two wagons, several chairs, and lots of towels and toys for the beach and pool. It was so nice to load everything up, walk just a few minutes, and be at the beach. Missy was extremely responsive, delivering batteries for a dead tv remote within the hour. Would love to stay here again. Thank you, Missy!"

Amazing Stay

"Could not have asked for better...remarkable home with fantastic communication. Thank you very much..."

Amazing

"The house was spectacular. There were 11 of us and it felt very spacious. The kids loved the pool. The beach by the house was So Beautiful!!!! We will definitely be back."

Great House/Location

"We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Water Beach House. The house was great. It had everything we needed and never felt crowded for our party of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids). The pool and hot tub were perfect for when we got tired of the beach. Speaking of the beach- it was great as well. It was soft white sand and not very crowded at all, and the best part was it was only a couple minute walk. The owner, Missy, was very responsive and a joy to work with. We would definitely stay here again!"

Best Vacation

"We love AMI and this house didn't disappoint! It was close to everything we needed and the home provided something for all ages. Perfect place and we can't wait to come back!"

Family Vacation

"This is not the first time for Anna Maria but our first time with The Prout's, Missy was by far the best hostess we have ever had!! She is personable and always available if we had any questions. It was ready as promised, clean and smelled great!! The pool is why you would want to rent this house. It is small but with the winter weather it was warm every day!!! The hot tub was great. We usually go to the other end of the island for sand dollars but found 40 sharks teeth on the beach by the house. I would definitely recommend renting it. We had kids ranging from 7 months to 4 years and having their bedrooms upstairs was great. Hope to enjoy this house again!!!"

Wonderful Family Stay!

"Beautiful roomy home, great location with easy beach walk, nice amenities all around! Lots of separate bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our large family requirements, yet still felt close in the great kitchen to gather for meals and fun. We really enjoyed the relaxing pool area with the sitting space, grill, bar, very large eating table, foosball table, and outdoor TV for viewing and music. Above all, the host, Missy, was easily accessible, quick to respond and friendly for any of our needs."

Loved It

"A couple of minor tech issues which were rectified very easily by the owner Great place ticked all the boxes for comfort, decor, position and beaches Loved it"

Fabulous retirement vacation

"I wanted the big house experience with my friends for my retirement. It had everything we needed. With 10 people you need the privacy decks and the four bathrooms, but also the big kitchen and table for 10 for big meals and gatherings. The trees all around the pool was wonderful for privacy from neighbors. I loved the rooftop deck!! Many sunrises and sunsets watch there! The decor was awesome. It was clean and maintained very well. Thank you, I'd highly recommend this home."

David and Marcia W Stay

"We would definitely stay at this property again. The walk to the beach literally was a 5 minute walk, the property was so huge, accomodating, clean and provided the room we needed for all of us to be comfortable but not cramped. Lastly, there were 3 things that made our trip outstanding by staying here at Avenue C: 1. Nice pool and hot tub with an outdoor grill and TV set up were nice extras after spending time on the beach 2. Huge common areas that allowed our whole family unit to be together and enjoy each other 3. Perfect location to enjoy the gulf from the upstairs balcony and quick access to restaurants and Publix. Thumbs up to Missy and the team! Finally, an online description and photos on the internet that are accurate and not misleading. It made our trip perfect! David & Marcia W "

It was everything it was supposed to be!

"t was perfect for our Florida vacation, everything that was advertised including the pictures were up to date. Everything was clean and kept up as shown and communication was excellent! Would definitely come back for another stay."

A beautiful home set up for a great stay.

"The property is very special and wonderfully laid out for enjoying time with family and friends and so convenient for time on the beach and meals in many, many great restaurants."

Family Vacation

"Beautiful house just minutes away from the beach! Great for a family vacation! The house was exactly what was listed. We cant wait to go back!"

Great Family Celebration at Blue Water Beach House

"Tremendous house and location. Short walk and I mean short...small children didn't mind the walk! Beach in the morning, back to house for lunch. Then relaxing by the pool in afternoon."

Enjoy Time spent Together

"The home was clean, comfortable and met everyone's needs. Missy, the owner, was responsive to my questions. She even sent a text asking how everything was going. We loved our time!"

Perfect Week!

"We had such a lovely time celebrating our wedding at this house with our families. The home has everything you could think of and need for a week+ stay. The pool, pool area and outdoor dining set made for gorgeous dinners Al fresco. We also loved having coffee and watching the sun rise on the roof deck. The host was super responsive and flexible with all my questions and needs. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again. Thank you!"

Great Trip

"We had a wonderful time in a wonderful house. Family vacation with four generations. Great access to the beach, and a wonderful pool in a beautiful garden habitat. Highly recommend this location. Great property."

Great for Family Vacation

"This property was perfect for 6 adults and 3 young kids with it's well-maintained pool and incredibly short walk to the beach. The rooftop was great for sunsets. We hope to come back next year!"

Magical

"The most amazing week in the most amazing house on the most amazing island. Plenty of room for our 3 families and anything we could need or want for a comfy home away from home. I hope we are lucky enough to come back someday!"

Family Spring Break

"Outstanding rental and the best host we've ever had. Everything about the property was as advertised and was a perfect fit for our party of 8 adults and 4 young children. The property was just off the beach and an easy walk with umbrellas, chairs and carts. We had a couple of TVs that weren't working and the host had a repair man there the next day. Fixed one and replaced the other, the same day. Check in and out were simple and efficient. We had a great time and highly recommend this property."

Perfect House for a great Family Vacation

"Our family of 12, ages 19 mo.-64 just returned from a wonderful week enjoying this spacious house. Great location to beach even thou most wanted to just stay and swim in the pool! Foos ball table and arcade game also entertained us all. A nice little park a short block away which has nice little playground and a basketball court. Several bikes which we used a lot and plenty of pool/beach toys, towels, chairs, umbrella, etc. Made for a great week!"

Lovely

"We had a wonderful time here, no major issues with the house whatsoever, no complaints, no pool issues! Made some great family memories!"

Spring Break

"We rented this property for a family get together during our grandkids spring break. Kids are 9,8,8,&5. They lived the pool and the beach. The house was perfect and Missy was a delight to work with. Would rent it again"

Great!

"We love our stay! The house is perfect for larger groups - we had 4 adults and 2 teenagers that wanted their own room. Everyone had a queen or king bed and their own bathroom which is hard to find. All the bedrooms have USB charging hubs, which I thought was a great add since most people have multiple charging devices. The pool, hot tub, and backyard amenities were great! The backyard gets morning/early afternoon sun so we would hang out by the pool during that time and head to the beach which is only 1.5 blocks away for the rest of the afternoon. We will definitely be back!"

Great Location!

"Short walk to beach - love the location and the crow's nest was amazing!"

Beautiful, Spacious Home

"This house is very nice, and close to the beach! Has a nice pool and hot tub, too. The owner was very nice and responded promptly to any question I had. Very nice and easy to work with! I would highly recommend!"

Great Group Getaway near the Beach!

"This is a lovely, well maintained property with lots of extras like beach towels/toys/wagon/chairs/bikes and a well equipped kitchen. The pool area is a private oasis screened off from the close neighbors. It's a very short walk to the beautiful beach, and from the roof you can see water in two directions. Owner was extremely helpful and responsive and provided lots of great local recommendations. Our teen loved the foosball table, and all ages enjoyed the hot tub and heated pool. It's close to grocery and restaurants. Would recommend for a family or group getaway."

Great house for extended family

"This property had everything we needed for our family vacation- beach toys and all! Would definitely stay again."

House had everything we needed. Beautiful pool area with attached hot tub

"We would come back!"

Wonderful clean place! Great location ! Walking distance to beach

"Whole family went here 13 of us with ages from 60 to 3 months old!! Lots of room with all of us having our own space and the pool was great for all ages! Walking distance to the beach and we also rented a golf kart they enjoyed! Would go back in a Heartbeat"

Perfect Girls Getaway!

"Absolutely loved the house and the location . The outdoor spaces from the rooftop to the underneath patio/entertainment area was amazing we spent every night down and every morning watching the sunrise and sunsets. The owner Missy was absolutely wonderful and always responded immediately. Highly recommend this home it was beautiful and the location was perfect ."

Very Nice

"Fantastic"

Great Location

"Location was great and the house was a nice setup with the pool."

Wonderful time at AMI

"This was our first trip to AMI and we loved it! The house was well located and made it easy to get to everything on the island. Most importantly it was a very quick walk to the beach. The house itself was perfect. We would definitely come back."

Beautiful Home

"Missy was great to work with! Fast to respond. Checked in to make sure we were settling in well. The backyard with the pool is a dream; the kids loved it! The beach is only a short 5minute walk away."

Great Stay!

"Great beach house! Our kids loved the pool, lots of space for our group and we loved the beach stuff available for use (toys, chairs, umbrella, etc.). A short walk to the beach, great location and the owner was great to work with. Highly recommend!"

BlueWater Beach House

"Great House! Great location! Beach access just across the street, and seemed to be a little less busy than other parts of the beach. House had all the chairs, towels and a beach wagon to tow it all down to the beach. Wonderful rooftop deck too. Would 100% stay here again."

Great Week in Paridise

"We had such a great time spending mornings at the beach and afternoons at the pool. The location is an easy walk to the beach (even with two kids under 5 yo) and a quick drive to any other island destinations. This is the second time our family of 9 has visited this home and we can't wait to come back again next year!"

Great Family Home

"We had a wonderful week in your beautiful home!Our daughter,son-in-law and 4 grandchildren ages 11-18 joined us and all had a great time. The home is decorated beautifully and the pool area was so much fun. It was a 3 minute walk to the beach and the water was so warm which after a long winter in Maine was much appreciated. The weather was in the 80's the whole week. We rented a golf cart for 8 and it was fun to get around the island in. Tried many of the restaurants and had delicious meals. Missy was wonderful to deal with and checked on us during the week to see if there was anything we needed. I highly recommend this rental, extremely clean and lots of room to spread out. My grandsons loved the arcade machine. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and giving us all a relaxing vacation!"

Perfection!

"Our group of 12 - 7 adults, 5 children had the most fabulous stay! The house was beautiful and well stocked, pool/spa were amazing (I can't believe how much we used the spa!) and location was so close to both the Gulf and the Bay (around 2 blocks to each). We're hoping to return in 2023!!"

Great Family Vacation

"It was a wonderful place. So clean and pretty and plenty of room. Love the hot tub! Owners were very in touch and so nice. Thank u !"

Family Vacation

"Beautiful property with easy access to the ocean and the bay. You can easily walk to the park for the kids and there is long list of activities that are well within reach of this property. Missy is wonderful and easy to reach if you need anything! "

Great House and Location

"This house was so close to the beach and was very spacious! We loved the rooftop deck, pool & hot tub. I would recommend that the house gets a deep cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our stay!"

The absolute Best!!

"We had 5 adults and 4 children (5, 3, 2 &1). Perfect house for our large family. Pool and hot tub were amazing for all the littles a the beach is a short 2 min walk away. House was clean and had everything we needed. Missy was great to work with! Quick responses and checked on us during our stay. Washer and dryer we great to have as well. Will definitely be back to this house! *Note - lots of stairs, but this was not an issue for us."

Oh my.. this house is perfect! Our family is all over 18, but the amenities here would suit any age

"Beach toys and bikes and a wagon! The pool is beautiful and well maintained! The five + bedrooms were very comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked, even a crock pot! I can't rave enough about our stay!"

Perfect Beach House

"This was the perfect house for a family vacation! We had two sets of grandparents, two kids (2 and 5), parents and one other adult. Everyone had their own space, but the kitchen and open living room was the perfect gathering spot. We enjoyed some happy hours on the roof deck. The weather was a little cool a couple of the days, but the kids still enjoyed the pool. There was plenty of beach toys and beach chairs for everyone to have something they could enjoy at the beach. The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the beach or playground around the corner. Also walkable to some bars/restaurants and a quick drive to Publix or anywhere else on the island. We used the pack n play for our 2 year old, which was nicer than having to bring one with us. Overall would recommend to groups/families and plan on coming back in the future. Missy was easy to contact for anything!"

New Year Kick Off

"Perfect with kids, enjoyed the pool, hot tub, beach, sleeping arrangements."

1st Vacation as a Family since 2019

"Our experience in renting this property was great! The close proximity to the beach and having all the beach needs (chairs, toys, wagon, etc.) available at the house was very nice. The pool and the hot tub were used daily and all instructions about both were easy to follow. The house itself accommodated all of us nicely. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. We also liked that it was on a not heavily traveled street and though surrounded by houses felt very private. Landscaping was amazing! The one issue we had was easily rectified by the host. Definitely a 5 star rating!"

Very Nice Place -- Would go back!

"10!!"

Book this Today!!!!

"We had the BEST time here! This house was so perfect for our family of 9!!! So much room to spread out, great bedrooms and bathrooms! The pool/hot tub was a treat!! We ate dinner pool side, drank coffee on the roof top deck, watched the sunrise then the sunset on the beach! And the hostess was amazing and so accommodating!!!! Loved it!!!"

Wonderful Vacation

"We had an awesome trip to Anna Maria Island. We had plenty of space for our family plus grandparents. My 3 kids will forever remember swimming in the pool for hours! Beach access was super easy and we liked the central location on the island. We noticed the outside table and coffee table hadn't been wiped down from the previous guests but that was only the minor thing we could find. We will definitely be back!"

Beautiful Home!

"What a gorgeous home. Wonderful location. Great pool and AMAZING rooftop views! The owner is VERY easy to contact and was very helpful throughout our stay. A few issues were addressed right away. Super sweet and apologetic. Some of the furniture pictures are not what are actually in the house - which may be addressed in the future. Overall, we had 8 women in our group and we loved the time there. Highly recommend!"

Great Family House

"Our family of 12 had a great stay! The pool and backyard was perfect for everyone with the beach just a short walk away. The beach supplies was not quite what was pictured in the listing. Great rental for a large family with young kids!"

Wonderful Stay!

"We had the best time on our vacation here! We wished we could have stayed longer! The house is perfectly accommodating for a large family! It has beautiful views and an awesome pool! We would definitely consider returning in the future!"

Amazing AMI Vacation

"We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Water Beach house. It was the perfect backdrop for our family of 11 meeting up from different cities. The location from the beach was superb, and much closer than many other houses on the island that we have stayed at. The pool was relaxing each day, and a kid favorite. Perfect mix of sun and shade for our family. Missy was an fantastic host. Some minor issues arose (not in her control), and she dealt with everything expertly. Would definitely stay again in the future."

Exceeded Expectations

"This was the ultimate vacation house. For our large group of three families it had all the comforts we needed for the sunny days, the rainy days and starry nights. The outside entertainment area was perfect for when we came off the beach, large kitchen/ dining room table for feeding our crew and family game night. We also enjoyed the little extras like the arcade! We would definitely stay here again."

Great Family Vacation House

"Missy was a great host! She was very easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions promptly. The property was accurately represented in the listing, with plenty of space for a large family. The close proximity to the beach and the private pool in the backyard made this an ideal location for our family vacation!"

Son Proposed

"My son proposed on this vacation. The house was a perfect setting for this. Location was great. Very short walk to the beach. Everyone had plenty of room and the backyard with spa/pool was amazing. The owner was very very helpful and responsive with answers to our questions. This trip will be remembered as our best ever. I would highly recommend this house and owner to everyone."

Family Vacation in paradise

"Our family of 10 had a blast on our beach family vacation. Our family had 8 adults and 2 kids stay here comfortably for 7 days. The house is a quick and easy walk to the beach (even with two kids under 5yo). We spent our mornings at the beach and afternoons poolside. We can't wait to vacation here again!"

Ave C - Paradise

"Awesome location, house was as advertised, enough bedrooms, bathrooms for us. Only thing missing was some extra pillowcases for the new pillows. Enjoyed every day!"

"One of the best houses we have rented for vacation. Plenty of room for 10 adults to enjoy gathering together and having privacy. Missy was very attentive to our needs. The house had everything we need for a fantastic vacation."

Family Getaway

"This was our 3rd trip as a family to AMI and this house has been the best! The owners were very nice and accommodating. They are easy to contact and quick to respond. This house is in a great location and beach access was great. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."

A Nice Trip, Nice House, very Responsive Owner

"We had a great time in this house, the owner was more then inviting and quick to respond. We would love to stay there again."

Amazing Location and House

"We couldn't have asked for anything more! Had an absolute blast and will definitely be back soon!!"

Incredible

"This property is amazing for families. I can't express in words how happy we were with this property. It's close to the beach and with having your own pool/spa makes this a great vacation spot. Melissa was on top of everything. We had one very minor issue with the pool & it was handled quickly. I would highly recommended this property to anyone."

FAMILY VACATION

"The whole family - 4 generations - all agreed that this house was fantastic! The house was clean and is as shown in the photos. It was nice to have our own bedrooms w/ bathrooms. The pool area is really nice and the kids had a blast swimming everyday. There are a lot of steps in the house - good exercise for most of us, not so much for great grandma tho! The neighborhood and location are nice, easy walking to the bay and the beach. We also rented a golf cart which was a fun way to get around on the island."

Wonderful Home away from Home

"This house is amazing! The location was perfect for our group! Lots of wonderful restaurants nearby! We spent all our days around the pool and hot tub! The sunsets are awesome from The rooftop deck! Would highly recommend this property! Missy was awesome!! Thanks for sharing your home with us!!"

Great Family Vacation

"Missy was great to work with prior to our arrival in Florida - she was always extremely responsive. The house was perfect for our group of 12! We had grandparents all the way down to infants. It was so nice to have the pool right in our backyard for those days you did not was to carry all the equipment down the to the beach, and we loved the fact it was so private. I would highly recommend Missy's property should you be looking to stay in Anna Maria!"

Escape from Quarantine

"I can't say enough about this property. We escaped the cold of Minnesota to continue our work and school from home... just warmer. This house is absolutely amazing and on the few occasions where we needed help, it came right away to solve the problem. We will absolutley come back!"

Lovely Home

"Very cute decor. Home was spacious and comfortable. Host was responsive and helpful. I would recommend!"

Family Thanksgiving Get Together

"It was an overdue family get together to celebrate Thanksgiving as well.as as many other occasions. The house looked exactly as it was described on the site. It was a good size with full capacity and pretty decor. Kids loved the pool.and jacuzzi area and spend their evenings in the water while the rest of us enjoyed dinners outdoors on the patio. The house is conveniently located 3 min driving distance from.the store, so it was easy to make a quick fun if we needed anything. The beach was 5 walking minutes away that enabled us to have morning walks along the shore. The house had everything we needed. We had a fantastic time."

Perfect Couples Getaway!

"Beautiful property as described and photographed! Super close to both the bay and gulf - walked the beach every morning. House was very clean and well appointed - pool and rooftop deck were great for coffee, cocktails and just relaxing. Always difficult to find equal accommodations for 4 couples so BWBH was perfect with 4 comfortable king bedrooms with private bathrooms. Missy was SO nice and responsive with all of our communication. Everything went smoothly during our stay but she touched base right before check-in and on our last day to ensure things were good. We did not cook any meals but appeared the kitchen had plenty of pots/pans/dishes - some dish soap and extra garbage bags would have been a plus. We also did not utilize the bikes or beach stuff but they were available. Lots of great golf and restaurants close by. Would highly recommend BWBH for either couples or families!"

Perfection

"Gorgeous house in a great location. Our family loves walking and this place is wonderfully situated on the island. Close to the beach. The host was courteous and extremely helpful. Clean and in working order. We loved this place."

Lovely Experience, great Vacation Home

"This was a family vacation that included several of us and included small children. We had plenty of room to spread out. The home was clean and well-appointed. We very much enjoyed the pool and spa, the rooftop deck, and of course being steps from the beach (with all the chairs, wagon and umbrella!) All in all we had a fantastic stay, and Missy was very responsive with any questions we had prior to the stay and during our stay. This place is an oasis and we would definitely stay here again."

Fantastic for Families!

"The house was well stocked with every imaginable "extra" that could be helpful for a family vacation! (High chair, pack n play, Kid dishes, kid step in the bathroom, fun arcade and game room, lots of beach and pool toys!) Owner was very kind and responded super quick to any question we had. The house is a very short walk to the beach- easy to do with small kiddos. We highly recommend!"

Wonderful house with wonderful owners

"First off, Missy is a DREAM to work with. Her responses are incredibly fast. We arrived to town and early and didn't want to be in public due to COVID so we asked if the kids could at least swim while we waited for the cleaning people to leave--she responded back (on a holiday) within minutes that she totally understood and it was fine. The house is huge and wonderful. There were a few minor things---like no extra sheets of any kind so you couldn't change a pillowcase or change bedding at all. But any real "issue" or question we asked while we were there she was quick to take care of and appreciative to know about. The house is well stocked with every kitchen thing you could possibly need. The bikes provided were an added bonus and a great thing to have. The beach is so close to walk to and not near huge hotel buildings so the beach was often very empty. She had plenty of beach umbrellas and a wagon to cart everything around, which was great. But really the best part of the house is the pool. It is COMPLETELY private. Not a soul can see into the backyard. We absolutely loved the pool area. Several days we never even went to the beach. The mosquitos are a problem at night however---both by the pool and on the rooftop. We would stay here again a million times over. The house was beautiful and comfortable and we can't say enough great things about Missy!"

"Cannot say enough good things about renting here. It is a beautiful property with a pool and a block from the beach. Less than a mile into one of the main parts of AMI with access to restaurants and local shops. We had family down with us and two small kids. We had plenty of room and a lot of stuff to do with the kids. Communication was incredible throughout the entire process and Missy was always helpful both before and during the stay to answer any questions while we were down there. This was our first family trip to AMI and it did not disappoint. Do not hesitate to book this property!!"

Wonderful, exactly as promised!

"We had a fabulous stay - house accommodated our three generation family. Pool was perfect, bikes and beach toys used daily and we loved the spacious and well equipped kitchen. All our questions were answered promptly and completely. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat! Please note you do need to be able to navigate stairs to enter/exit the house and get to pool. Completely manageable but just good to note if you have older guests,"

Awesome House for a Group Vacation!

"This was a beautiful house for 8 of us! Each couple had their own bathroom with plenty of space! The location was perfect from the beach and not on the busy road! The pool and hot tub were also nice to have to hang out at home. The owners were wonderful and provided plenty of helpful information about local restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend this place! Also kid friendly!"

February Beach Stay

"We rented this property as four couples trying to be near the beach and enjoy some warm weather over the winter. The house is very nicely located and an easy walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub were nice and we enjoyed these in the mornings. It was nice to have four king beds and bathrooms separately for each couple. Missy was very easy to communicate with and her house is very nice. We really enjoyed our stay!The description of the property is accurate and it was very nice to have the trolley to travel up and down the island. We did not rent a car.There are a lot of steps in this house so anyone with mobility issues should consider this.This is a great property and highly recommended."

January Stay

"We loved the house! It was in a perfect location just a short walk to the beautiful beach. The kids & us enjoyed the pool and the hot tub - even though it was January - it was a perfect getaway from a cold winter at home. The house had everything we needed - we used the bikes provided by the owner and rode around Anna Maria Island - and the area is beautiful. The owner Missy continued to check on us throughout the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend the beautiful house - couldn't ask for a better vacation!"

Great Stay

"Beautiful property in a great location. The roof top deck is spectacular. Really well provisioned with beach toys, bikes, etc. the owner was great to communicate with and very responsive. I highly recommend"

Family Loved this Home

"Great house for 6 adults and 4 children. The pool was fantastic and the beach was a short walk. The owner was great in communicating and was very responsive to questions."

Wonderful Experience

"This house had everything to make our stay even more enjoyable. From bikes to beach gear to pool supplies. Our family really enjoyed our stay and it was largely due to the amazing house that helped us relax all the more. We had 3 separate families and we were all able to feel like we had plenty of private space to enjoy during break times between outings. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and every room had its own tv with tons of channels and Netflix. The kitchen was huge and we loved the colors and decor of the place. It truly felt like a clean luxury resort. We were blessed by being able to stay at this home and will definitely consider staying here again in the future. Thanks for your warm accommodations and attention to detail to make our trip that much more memorable."

Great Location!

"This house is one we will come back to many times in years to come . Very clean and is bigger then the pictures look great kitchen and pool area . Beach is just a short walk away . Can’t wait for our next visit . Owners are very easy to communicate with and are prompt when we had questions."

Immaculate home

"This beach house is absolutely beautiful! It is a 2 min walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub were nice when you just wanna hang out around the house. Very close to many restaurants, and the store. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. We had an amazing time and would definitely rent this home again."

Happy Memories

"Blue Water Beach House was a wonderful place to build happy memories with our extended family! It was very clean and fully equipped with kitchen items, beach items, pool items, etc. The beach was just a short walk away. Missy, the manager, was wonderful to work with! The entire family voted it their favorite place to stay at the beach."

Family Vacation

"This property was beautiful. Owner was very responsive and followed up on everything! Property had everything needed for our party of 10 and was very spacious and better than the pics show. We thought it would be further from the beach than it is, it really is only a few houses away. We would rent this property again or any property from this owner!"

Bradenton Beach Blue Water Great!

"Blue Water Beach House is perfect!: Super close to the beach access (1 block). And the beach is excellent. Great bedrooms and bathrooms. Terrific, secluded back yard with pool. Super high-end outdoor furniture and plenty of it. Great kitchen and island, etc. For our family of 8 adults and 4 kids, couldn't have been better. Highly recommended!"

Wonderful Week

"This property worked well for our large 3-generation family. Loved the layout and decor of the house. Missy was prompt and very helpful in answering all our questions."

Awesome!

"Our family of 12 (8 adults and 4 kids) loved this house. Close to beach, shopping, restaurants and grocery store. It was so nice having the Rooftop, pool, covered patio and outdoor shower. Beautiful beach and we had awesome weather. Anna Maria is our new favorite vacation spot!!!"

The Perfect Family Vacation!

"We had 8 adults & 4 boys ages 4 & under. This home was well supplied for all ages. We lived the pool & rooftop- great additions! The 4 king bedrooms were perfect because every family had their own space. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare meals. A quick walk to the beach with beach chairs, umbrellas & beach toys made for fun days! We could not have had a better experience anywhere!"

Best Vacation!

"My family & I decided to try a new place this year and so glad we did. We loved AMI & this beach house was amazing to say the least. Spacious, clean & accommodating. Looking forward to future trips!"

Great House

"Perfect size house for 6 to 12 people. Heated pool and hot tub are awesome and the covered outside pool area awesome. Short walk to the beach and great views from the top deck. Great property and owner was very responsive! Highly recommend!"

Anna Maria

"Great house - perfect location! Had a little trouble with pool water - no fault of owner - owner very responsive to issues and work was started within the hour! Very roomy place! After renting several places in FL my only suggestion to owners for each place would be to have a second frig maybe in garage for beverages - food for a larger group takes up a lot of room - would be nice to have a little extra refrigerator space. Would highly recommend this house - so close to the beach and lots of amenities. We enjoyed our stay!!"

Perfect Family Getaway

"Beautiful property, beach, and location! Loved it!"

Blue Water Beach House

"Our family spent a most memorable week at the Blue Water Beach House on Bradenton Beach. Everything was perfect! The beach, the pool and the hot tub were big hits with everyone. The owners have thought of everything making our stay a very comfortable home away from home!! ❤️ The Van Vranken family"

Best vacation Rental ever!!! (having stayed in other ones)

"This was perfect for or family. the size, location, amenities and cleanliness was outstanding. From the roof top deck to the pool and spa and everything in between it fit us and our 3 adult children and spouses perfectly. The communication with Missy was helpful, friendly, and prompt. the 2 minute walk to the white sand beach was perfect. The heated pool and spa made for a perfect morning and evening gathering place. Brice & Brenda"

Pefect set up for multiple families!

"This house was perfect! We had a big group of us and the house was perfect in accommodating all of us. The backyard was our big hang out. The beach is literally a block away and they have lots of toys, carts, etc for the beach. We took use of the bikes and rode around which was fun too. The only time we had an issue with the pool Missy was so quick to get it checked out. To us it was the perfect area for kids as well. Right down the street is some cute shops, cafes, a Walgreens and grocery store. We would absolutely stay here again!!"

Amazing Property!

"We loved our stay at Blue Water Beach House! The house was just a short walk to the beach which we loved! And the rooftop deck was amazing...you could see the Gulf on one side and the bay on the other. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed. The amount of beach chairs, coolers, pool floats, towels, etc. was an added bonus. And the bikes! The older kids loved to ride the bikes to get ice cream and play mini golf. And Missy was amazing to work with. Answered any and all questions and checked in on us throughout the week. We would definitely recommend Blue Water Beach House and look forward to starting there again!!"

Beautiful, well-appointed house with very caring owner.

"Three generations of our family spent a week at this house. It could not have been better!. The house is well-stocked, from Kitchen to beach toys to pool toys to bicycles to ample towels. Nothing was left to chance. I cannot recommend this house, and its owner, highly enough."

Perfect house for four couples!

"Four couples stayed here 1/18-2/1/2019. Upon arrival, we had easy access to the house. While there were more steps to negotiate than we realized, it really wasn’t an issue. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Eating in most nights we had every two needed for cooking. Plenty of dishes and silverware so we could go for a few meals without having to run the dishwasher. The location of the house was conveniently located close to the beach and grocery store. We walked most days up to the store and back even if we didn’t need anything. The beach was a close walk across the main road. We had no trouble crossing as most people would stop to let you go. The owner was a joy to work with. She responded promptly to a few minor issues that we brought to her attention. She followed up to make sure things were taken care of. The house is beautifully furnished with lots of beachy decor. Each couple had their own bathroom, which was one of the reasons we rented this particular. The rooftop deck was fabulous, although the weather did not allow us to use it as much as we wanted. The pool and spa are nicely situated in the back with beautiful landscaping for privacy. We had a lovely time in spite of not so great weather. Comfortable beds, lots of space, great hi def flat screens in every room with a great cable package. Would definitely rent here again should we need a house this big in the future. The owners were some of the most responsive we have ever dealt with. Recommend them highly!"

Our entire family agreed this was the best family vacation yet!!

"My husband and I, our three adult children with spouses and three grandchildren, ages 4, 19 months and 16 months thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in this beautiful beach home. The location is great being a two minute walk from the beach. Bridge Street is about a 5 minutes drive away with cute, quaint shops and neat little restau rants. Be sure to visit the Bridge Tender restaurant Or the oyster bar. North of this Beachhouse is Anna Maria with lots to explore on Pine Street. There is a build your own donut shop that is a very cool experience with the freshest donuts you’ll ever taste. This house was set up for families and everything we needed was here including beach toys, a beach cart to walk to the beach and lots of beach umbrellas. We spent countless hours out in the swimming pool and hot tub and grilled a couple of meals outside on the grill in the outdoor living space. We also bike rode around the island. The bike lanes get a bit narrow in spots but we maneuvered between sidewalks and the bike lane. We rented a golf cart for a couple of days and explored and went for several golf cart rides. Our entire family was in agreement that this was one of our best vacations yet!!"

We loved our stay at the Blue Water Beach House. The location is great!!

"The property was well kept, the house was clean and was stocked with everything that we needed. We would definitely come back again."

We loved the views and accessibility of the roof area! A fun surprise!

"Missy was great to work with~would easily recommend this property. Plenty of beds for the 10 of us...we shared a great Thanksgiving meal together at the kitchen table. Thanks!!"

Wow!

"Our stay at this gem of a place was amazing! We traveled with 6 ladies and we all had plenty of space to relax and unwind. We loved being able to walk to the beach and enjoyed rooftop sunrise/sunsets each day. The food on AMI was amazing - never had a bad meal! The island is full of adventure, quaint little shops/restaurants and friendly people. I cannot wait until our next vacation - we will definitely return to AMI!"

Great house and location!

"This was an amazing trip with a home that allowed 4 couples and 4 kids to relax, unwind at the pool/beach, and enjoy sunsets from the crow's nest. Great views up top and great privacy around the pool. Thanks Missy!"

We had an Awesome Time!

"We had a wonderful time. Missy was very prompt about answering any questions we had. The house was beautiful. Great location and only steps to the beach!"

An Unforgettable Long Weekend!

"This house was absolutely amazing!!! It was beautiful and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and then some. The pool was a plus as well as the upper deck for watching the sunsets in the evening. We had our immediate family stay with us, as this was a destination wedding and one of the most memorable vacations we have had with all of our loved ones. Many thanks to Missy and her family for making our wedding weekend so special. We are already talking about coming back to AMI and staying at the Blue Water Beach House for our Anniversary. XoXo, The New Mr. and Mrs. Steven Hirshey"

Wonderful!

"We had the best time at the Blue Water Beach House. The house itself is gorgeous and extremely accomodating to our large family. The backyard was amazing and location, perfect. Missy was a pleasure to work with and super sweet. We hope to return!"

Wonderful Beach House

"This house had EVERYTHING we needed for our large family. Missy was very responsive to questions before and during our time at the house. The pool was a wonderful feature since we had so many young children that constantly wanted to be in the water. The beach is just a short walk away from the house, which is also beneficial. I highly recommend this house and we plan on returning in the future! Thanks for everything, Missy!"

Awesome Home! We Loved It!!

"The home was wonderful!! Plenty of room for our family vacation!! The pool and deck area were great! Loads of room for everyone in and around the pool. Or a short walk to the beach. The house is big enough that everyone had their own room and bath but cozy enough for us to be together. We cooked many meals in the large kitchen as a group with plenty of space. We loved watching the sunsets and sunrises from the rooftop deck. We would recommend The Blue Water Beach House. We will be back!!!"

Paradise at the Beach

"We just got back from Anna Maria Island and the prettiest home on the island, Blue Water Beach House. It was harder than normal to end this vacation. We enjoyed our first family vacation here. And it was fantastic. We had 6 adults, 3 teens, 1 preteen, a 6 and 3 year old. Blue Water Beach House fulfilled our every wish. The pool and spa were used multiple times a day, before and after the beach. There was an ongoing challenge on the arcade game. I could go on and on. Then there were the beach umbrellas and toys provided. The bikes were used to explore the area. The roof top deck was the crown on this beauty. I simply can't say enough great things about this home. It was the perfect location for our extra special family vacation. No down time only go time - time for fun!!"

Just Perfect!

"Our family of 9 had an awesome experience here! So much to praise that I'm not sure where to start! Loved the spaciousness and arrangement of the house along with the easy, easy, short walk to the beach! And, oh that roof top deck! Pool area was a hit as well! Kitchen is very large and the huge dining table allowed all of us to eat together as well as play games! We appreciated being close to Publix! Thank you to the owner, Missy, for being so dedicated to making sure all was well! Added perks we appreciated were, all the beach toys, toddler bed, highchair, beach towels, and well stocked kitchen equipment! Much more, but I've shared highlights! We will return to AMI and Blue Water Beach House...no question about it!"

The Perfect Beach House DOES exist!

"Our stay at this beautiful beach house was from April 14th-21st 2018. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone. The backyard was it's very own oasis. The pool and spa were wonderful and the whole space was perfectly laid out. It was very close to the beach, so hauling all of our stuff to the beach was a breeze. The rooftop deck offered amazing views and was a regular hangout at sunsets. The kitchen/dining area was enormous and offered us plenty of space for everyone to spend time together while eating. This home was perfect for our stay. Any questions or concerns that we had were only a quick phone call or text away. Missy was prompt in answering our call and made sure any issue we had was addressed. We've been visiting the Anna Maria area and renting beach homes for 15 years and this was without a doubt the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. We would highly recommend this home to anyone thinking about staying in the area. It was worth every penny!"

Wonderful Vacation

"Eight adults shared this beautiful beach home. We had more than enough room and everything we needed was supplied. A few steps from the spectacular beach and close to many wonderful restaurants. The owner kept in touch with us up to our stay and catered to our every need. We would highly recommend a stay at the Blue Water Beach House !!! Hope we can return..."

Just Perfect

"We just returned from a week at the Blue Water Beach House, and it was definitely the perfect place for our family of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids, ages 2-12) to get together and enjoy special family time together on vacation. This house is absolutely everything you need, and you will not be disappointed! Missy was attentive, a joy to work with, and has thought of everything. The garage was stocked with bikes, pool/beach toys, beach chairs, coolers, all rooms were very clean and spacious, and the pool and hot tub were definitely a bit hit for everyone. The kids loved the bunk beds, and we couldn't believe they never fought once! :). We prepared most meals at the house and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The location was ideal, in the heart of a safe and family-friendly neighborhood, and only a 5-minute walk to the beach! I can't say enough about how happy we were with the house and the ease of dealing with the Prout family. We definitely plan to return!"

Everything You Want and More

"We had such an amazing time at Anna Maria island and are so grateful for the Prout Family (and only regret not having the time to sign the adorable guest book! But don’t worry I’ll post it on my travel blog with this review!) and their amazingly well thought out house! We had a wonderful family vacation, cooking dinners and breakfasts together (in the amazing kitchen or on the grill), relaxing outside, watching sunsets and sunrises, going to the beach and finding shells galore, playing in the pool and hot tub, and enjoying the restaurants On Bridge street and also Sarasota! From less than 6 months old, all the way up to 85 years old, it was an amazing time beyond expanation and this house helped give our family such a memorable vacation that we’ll always cherish!"

Amazing House for a Family Vacation

"This vacation house had everything! Fully stocked for beach time with chairs, toys and wagon to transport to the beach which is only a 5 min walk. House was decorated beautifully and had everything needed for cooking or grilling. Private heated pool was perfect for the kids. Missy was great to work with. Very responsive and answered all questions very quickly. We will definitely be back for another stay!"

Beach House

"We loved the beach house! It is conveniently located close to the beach. The home is very clean and nice. Kitchen is well stocked. Will stay there again! Great place!!!"

Amazing!

"By far the best renting experience I’ve ever had. Awesome location, beautiful place, and the best people I’ve ever dealt with. Missy made our experience one for the record books. If you’re looking for a stellar vacation in Bradenton Beach — look no further. You simply can’t find something better than this."

The property was just as described. Very nice and well suited for our family vacation!

"We stayed at Blue Water Beach House with our extended family over the New Year’s holiday. The property was wonderful! Spacious home with plenty of room for multiple families to spend time together or to have time to themselves. Missy was great and went above and beyond to be sure our stay was perfect. We had a couple small pool issues and someone was sent right over to get them taken care of. The property is located on a quiet street across from the ocean. I would recommend this home for anyone looking for unforgettable beach vacation! We can’t wait to go back!"

A Wonderful House in a Great Location

"This house is quite beautiful with all the finishes and a lovely pool and rec area. The pictures are accurate and the owners are attentive and thoughtful. Every bedroom was as lovely as the next. All bathrooms are updated. This is a well cared for, recently updated property. The location is great - just off the main road, within a two minute walk to the beach. Our family celebrated a wonderful Christmas here!!!"

Perfect Spot!

"Missy was a joy to work with on renting her home. Really easy walk to a beautiful beach and the home is spacious and very well stocked. Everything feels brand new (great washer/dryer and kitchen appliances). Some things that are better than advertised: the roof top deck, the hot tub, the beach supplies in their garage, and the full size old school arcade game. Couldn't be happier with this house. We will be going back next year if it is available!"

Great House and Owners!

"Just stayed at Blue Water Beach House and had a great time. House was very spacious and everything was in great shape! We enjoyed having the pool to relax by, but also having the beach so close was fabulous! Enjoyed sunsets on the roof and also at the beach!! Missy, the owner, was so helpful and friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone!!"

Great Family Retreat!

"House is spacious and beautiful. Pool area inviting. Short walk to beach for some of the most amazing sun sets you will ever see. roof top deck is an unexpected bonus. All of the cooking needs present. Missy was a pleasure to work with, attentive and helped us when we had to postpone due to Irma. definitely recommend."

Like a Dream Come True

"We booked this home to celebrate my wife's birthday. We wanted a home close to the beach that also had an outdoor entertainment area. We couldn't be happier with the pool, hot tub and outdoor living space. The beach was a short walk and was perfect. Dealing with the owners was seamless, Missy was great. No issues arose during our stay as everything was as advertised. We had 6 adults and 3 children in our party and there was room to spare. In the garage there are all kinds of pool/beach toys, chairs and bikes. Thank you again to the Prout Family, you helped make my wife's birthday perfect!"

We Loved Everything about the House!

"We loved that it had 4 king bedrooms which is very hard to find . There was plenty of room for everyone to eat together ( there was 10 of us ) . The owner Missy was very kind . She is definitely a on hands owner . She was wonderful to work with . The house everything you could possibly need on vacation at the beach from bikes"

Beautiful, Well-Equipped Home

"So pleased with the home for our family vacation! We enjoyed the pool, our walks to the beach, the rooftop vista for sunrise and sunset! We cooked in most of our meals for 12 of us. Large island, many kitchen accessories and plenty of dishes and glassware made for easy meal prep. We would certainly consider returning to Blue Water Beach House in the future."

Beautiful Home, Perfect Location, Wonderful Owner

"Just returned from a one week stay at the Blue Water Beach House. We had an absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end and would definitely recommend to our friends and family! The home is gorgeous, spacious, and tastefully decorated. I traveled with my husband, children (ages 7,5,1.5) and in laws and there was the perfect amount of space for us. Everything was immaculate upon arrival, and finding it and getting in was a breeze. We cooked mostly all of our breakfasts and lunches in the home and the kitchen was fully stocked. Each of the bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area was lovely and a nice break when we weren't at the beach. My kids loved the foosball table and the arcade machine, I think they were the big hit of their vacation! We also loved the roof deck and the beautiful views of the ocean! The location of the home was perfect for us. At first we were looking on the north end, but this home is right smack in between the north end and bridge street, which was so lovely with tons of shops and restaurants. We walked right out our door, crossed two streets and there was Beach access. We were also able to get to the north end and Pine street very quickly! The owner, Missy, was pretty much a dream to work with. We had only one small issue of the dryer not working and it was addressed within minutes and fixed within a few hours. She also was very accommodating to our requests, answered emails promptly, and had many great restaurant suggestions for us which we greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation home. If you're considering staying here, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to return!"

Awesome Stay

"A group of us, 4 families, stayed at this lovely beach house for 4 days and had a great time, the house has everything you need and is very comfortable. It has amazing views and located less than 5 min walk to the beach or the bay. The owner has been so helpful and accommodating. I definitely recommend this for family reunions or a group of friends who want to enjoy a good time in the beautiful Anna Maria Island."

Perfect House and Location!

"This is the perfect house for several families. We had 3 families, 6 adults and 4 children, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot. The house is only a block from the beach and the outdoor pool area was fantastic. Not only is the house in a perfect location, it is decorated beautifully. The beds were so comfortable and the large kitchen was great for prepping meals for our group. The owner is great and after learning we had a baby, sent the cleaning crew to get a new pack and play and high chair! We definitely recommend this property and will be booking again for next summer!"

Perfect!

"What an amazing house! I wish I owned Blue Water Beach House and would not change a single thing about it. The decor is beautiful, the furniture and beds are all comfy, the finishes in the house are gorgeous.The house was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed. We had a group of 5 children and 5 adults and the house provided plenty of room for us all. It rained a lot during our trip, but the covered patio area allowed us to still spend time outside while the kids swam in the rain. The toddlers loved being able to watch cartoons from the pool! Unlike other rentals I have stayed at in the past, the kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and baking dishes. Anna Maria Island is such a safe, family-friendly place with plenty to do. I would highly recommend this house. The owner was fantastic about staying and touch from the date of inquiry all the way through our trip. It was nice to have her checking in. I can't wait to return next summer."

Beach Pool Paradise

"Perfect location to the beach! The house provided plenty of room for 6 adults and 5 young children! We'd stay there again!"
