"This home was perfect for our crew of grandma, mom and 3 kids ages 8-13. The pool area and game was perfect for all of us. The hot tub was soooo nice in the evening! The beach and park right down the road (and Anna Maria Pier) was great for watching the sunrise and morning entertainment. My son got to fish off the pier and we would go shelling and play at the little park there each morning. My older daughters loved shopping and painting sand dollars on pine ave--just a few minutes away. Beautiful bean point is just down the road. The home includes all the beach gear you'll need! Wish I'd have known we could've used a cart through a house vs. renting one but that was an oversight on my part--be sure to ask! Happy Hibiscus has everything you'll need for a perfect getaway--enjoy!!"

"The house is literally across the beach from a small public park with beach access on the bay side and about 5 short blocks to the MOST AMAZING Gulf side beach at Bean Point...literally the northern bend of the island. The house was perfectly appointed in every aspect...from dishes to dish detergent, plenty of pool/beach and bath towels, nice comfortable linens for the beds, impeccably clean and so many options for entertainment that even on the random rainy weekend not even the most difficult to entertain in the group can get bored. Open concept living room with ample comfortable furniture for everyone to have a comfy seat, space to work and to work out. All rooms have their own TV and Living Room TV is set up with streaming services. We didn't watch a minute of TV so I can't report if all TVs have the same. Rooms are on the opposite end of the house so early to bed can sleep while the rest of the group stays up. There is a nice 4 burner gas grill on the deck right ourside the kitchen and a lovely front porch deck which was a beautiful spot to catch the sunrise with a cup of coffee every morning. The whole lower level (1st floor/ground level) is behind the garage. It has a futon and a large full bath in what is a great game room with entertainment consoles for the gamers, foosball, darts, ping pong and pool tables. This room leads out to the pool area. The pool is what we call a "drunk pool" not more than 5.5' deep with a tahitian deck and seating all along the length of one side. Great for sitting and talking and for little ones who may not feel confident yet. The hot tub was delicious :) This area has a massive TV, wireless speakers, lounge area sitting and a high top dining table with stools, a stash of pool toys as well as a putting green! We were a group from ages 5 to 78 (including 2 tweens(!))and NOT 1 person had a complaint. The only thing you may need to remember to bring aside from personal effects and food is oil for cooking and aluminum foil. That's it!"

"Everything you need and more! A half block from Bayfront Park and beaches. Two blocks from rod and reel. Less than a half a mile from shops and restaurants. The listing doesn’t even list all of the things the home has to offer. The pool and hot tub are perfect. We would definitely book again!"

nice outdoor area

"All in all we had a great time. The red tide in the area got us all sick but the home was in a good location close to everything and it had a bonus bathroom and bed downstairs which was a nice supprise. The outdoor area is really nice. The only complaint we had was the air filters need cleaned really bad."

A little slice of paradise at the Happy Hibiscus!

"Wow! Where to begin :-) We had a wonderful time at the Happy Hibiscus. Walking distance to both beaches and the bay, the house has been beautifully renovated and has all high end finishes. Very welcoming, open living areas. Bed and bathrooms are very well appointed, with super comfortable, new beds. Kitchen was totally stocked with everything necessary....even a couple of sharp knives!!! A rarity for most vacation houses! The outdoor area is incredible - gorgeous pool and hot-tub area with seating and dining areas, gas firepit, bluetooth outdoor speakers and wonderful putting green. The extra touches are what really make this an exceptional rental; tons of board games, video games, outdoor games, bikes, everything for the beach, including chairs, umbrellas, beach cart, toys etc. etc. Great, friendly communication from Nicole. I would recommend the Happy Hibiscus without hesitation...we can't wait to return!!!"

"Fantastic home. Great location. Lots of fun games and activities to enjoy with your family."

Great Florida Getaway

"What a great property!!! True Florida living. Walk to the beach , ride your bike, and great restaurants. The home is perfect for a family and friends gathering. Spacious, with all the amenities one needs to enjoy a True Florida Vacation. Lastly , whether you have small children or teenagers they will all be entertained. Highly recommend ."

Amazing Anna Maria Gettaway

"Took my 2 kids and their families for a weekend stay to celebrate a birthday. Amenities galore and in-between beach time and meals out, we had a blast having family competitions with chip and putt, cornhole and foosballl. There simply was not enough time to get to all of the included options that were available. We even used the grill one night for steaks. This was by far the best family gathering that we have had and all could not wait to come back! Highly recommended!"

The perfect accommodations and the perfect location!

"Walk down the street with your coffee and watch the sun rise. Walk a couple blocks in the opposite direction with your favorite beverage and watch the sun set. The home is perfect for couples or families with activities for all OR just set by or in the pool and chill. Great restaurants are very close. My favorites are the Sandbar and The Ugly Grouper. Anna Maria and the Happy Hibiscus an escape from reality."

Our new favorite vaca spot!!

"OMG… This place is fantastic! It was so welcoming, beautiful scenery, the house itself was so well laid out and decorated, very inviting! There’s so many fun things to do at the property itself, in addition to the amazing access to the bay and beach and local restaurants and dining. We have already booked our next trip! "
