The location of this house is so convenient to the beach and shops and restaurants on the north end. You walk out the gate about 10 steps and then you are on the beach. The appliances and cookware are high quality. They provided everything we needed to enjoy our time. We felt like we were at a resort.

Anna Maria island is a very special place and this house was perfect for young children and my mother and father in law who can’t climb stairs anymore. It was a very short walk down to the beach that was absolutely beautiful!

Serendipty did a nice job in getting the house ready, which included the various small supplies you need on a daily basis (toilet paper, soap, paper towels etc). Our house is in a quiet suburban neighborhood. It is short walk to the beach

We loved our stay at Fantasea! Our family had all the amenities we could ask for - and more!!! It was conveniently located for our daily beach trips, clean and stocked with anything and everything we needed for a lovely vacation.Not to mention, the staff and owners were exceptionally kind and helpful.And a note about the AC - we had no issues with the temperature during our stay despite outdoor temps approaching 100 degrees. As long as all windows and exterior doors were kept closed and lights kept off when not in use - the house stayed cool and we even used blankets and sweatshirts most nights.One of our most favorite vacations to date! We are grateful for the hospitality and anxious to return.

The house is exactly as described and we loved it. Our only complaint is that the house is extremely hot. No matter the temperature or if the fans are on, it feels warm all day and night. It seems they are aware of the issue since they provided box fans, but it may be an AC issue. Also, beautiful backyard, but you can’t enjoy it because the mosquitoes are outrageous. We ended up not being able to hang out back past 6PM. Definitely needs to be sprayed to lessen the mosquitoes.

We had a lovely long weekend celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday! Our only complaint is that the temperature in the bedrooms, specifically the master, was extremely hot. It didn’t matter what the AC was set too or how many extra fans we used, the bedrooms were hot. Other than that, the house was exactly as described. Walk to the beach was easy and close! Golf cart, bikes, beach chairs, all a huge plus. It was our first time to AMI and we all loved it!

I can't say enough about this location, it's on the quieter end of the island, but still just a golf-cart ride away from shopping and restaurants. It's a quick walk to the beach which is key. The house comfortably fit our two families and had all the amenities you could need for a week long stay. They were very responsive, quick and kind, and never made us feel like our questions or requests were unreasonable. Would (and already have) recommend this house and any other's from Serendipity!

This location is 10/10! The quick walk to and from the beach made things so easy. The house is great, kitchen fully stocked. The backyard was so great for hanging out. The pool isn’t covered so it gets very warm but it was still nice to jump in after being in the saltwater. Communication was great! The only thing we had a problem with was how hot the house was. We had to use multiple fans in the bedrooms at night to stay comfortable.

What a beautiful space- and just steps to a GREAT beach that was not crowded at all. And the host had everything you needed from great beach chairs to bikes to an awesome golf cart to take to close by bars and restaurants. The house was awesome with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths with a well appointed kitchen. Our only disappointment was the pool - its an older pool and due to hot summer days the water was very warm and not refreshing at all! Not sure if there is anything that can be done about that! Despite the pool the stay was 10 out of 10!

Thank you for a wonderful time. We relaxed, laughed, ate, shopped, swam, beached and all got sunburned, lol. Everything we ever needed was there for our use, which is not always the case. Beds were very comfortable. Proximity to the beach was perfect. Coastal breeze all of the time. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. Neighborhood was amazing as well. It was truly an amazing time for all. Thank you again. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. ☺️

Was pleased to arrive and see the photos matched the home exactly! Beautiful home. It was clean, comfortable, and a short walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool, and the adults had many great areas to hang outside. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. Great stay, highly recommend!

This property is exceptional. We have stayed at many Florida beach homes and this was by far our best experience to date. The home itself has a lovely layout, and is spacious. The bedrooms are cool, beds comfortable, and bathrooms accommodating and clean. The kitchen was very well stocked for us to enjoy family meals together. The pool and volleyball set up outside were a delight. The pool is saltwater and was warm and allowed for hours of enjoyable swimming. They have many pool toys and floats for guests to use. The golf cart of fun and enjoyable to get around the island on. There were many other amenities we did not have a chance to use, like bikes (with helmets!), and other beach toys and chairs. The property has immediate beach access to the sugary white and soft sands of the island, and you are close by to everything! What’s more, the folks who help coordinate your stay are communicative and helpful, while also very friendly. I would not hesitate to return!!

Location is incredible, a very short walk to the beach from the backyard. Very accommodating for our family of 5 with three young kids. Everything you need for a great beach vacation is included. Beach chairs, toys, etc are waiting for you in the garage. No real need for a vehicle either as everything on the island is accessible with the golf cart that is included!

Our stay at Serendipity was absolutely perfect! The hosts were extremely helpful, communicative, and accommodating. The house was the perfect size for our group (8 adults), and matched the description and photos within the listing exactly! The location was outstanding and was right off the beach! We very much enjoyed our stay and the hosts made it the most relaxing and luxurious getaway!

Wonderful home in a fantastic location. Perfect for a family with tweens and kids. So much to do. Loved the bikes, scooters, volleyball, beach, and pool. Wish the weather would have been more pleasant, but plenty to do even in bad weather. Would love to visit again!

Beautiful home at a great location with the beach was just a few steps away!The home was as described and pictured with lots of great amenities throughout. Host was super responsive and always very quick to respond.Having the golf cart available was the cherry on top! Our family was able to put that to use throughout our stay.

Great location, steps from beach outside back yard. Beautiful private beach. Pool relaxing & quiet. Golf cart so nice to have instead of driving car. Comfy beds & lots of towels which was amazing with 2 teenage girls. Incredible to have 4 bathrooms! Hope to come back & stay for longer next time.

1st time to Anna Marie and it was so much fun. We really enjoyed the area and location of the house. The house had an old Florida bungalow feel to it but was very up to date with today’s times. We would 100% stay here again. The property manager was very prompt and friendly which was a plus as well. Loved it!

Had an excellent stay. The house is perfectly situated right off the beach but also close to the town center. Backyard is awesome for kids with pool, lots of toys, beach volleyball, etc. House interior is great for a group to stay and make dinners, grill, hang out. Golf cart made it easy and fun to get around. Hosts were very responsive and helpful.

Everything was perfect! The hosts made sure we had everything we needed. The house was super clean, well stocked and close to everything but also private. Heated pool was amazing, the beach path was just a short walk out of the backyard. Family volleyball were events to remember!Highly recommend these hosts and we will definitely be back!

Will be staying again. Great location, well distributed Floorplan and great amenities. host was second to none with all the proactive communication. We never even moved our cars because we used the included golf cart to get around the entire time.

Great size for our family of five. Loved the pool and proximity to the beach! It felt cozy and like home right from the start. The hosts were proactive in sending all the needed information and even let us borrow a cooler when we needed one for a boat ride. The golf cart was very nice and wonderful to get around in. The kids loved it. We went in August during the off season and we will be back. The heat wasn’t a problem with the pool and gulf and afternoon movies became a great way to cool off. Don’t hesitate!

Our family (including 2 teens) loved the location, a very short walk out back to the nearly private white sands! Away from the crowds, but close to Pine Ave. and a quick golf cart ride to restaurants/shopping. We loved the surfer bungalow vibe, private enclosed backyard, access to kayaks/paddleboards, large golf cart, perfect sized pool, and sand volleyball court. Nearly every amenity is thought of- beach chairs, beach towels, fishing poles, beach toys, volleyballs, not to mention surprises to welcome us! Loved both outdoor showers too. Thank you for an easy, relaxing week to reset with our family!

This property was amazing. It had everything we could want and more. My husband and I stayed with our 17 year old daughter, 14 year old son, and his friend. They all loved it and want to rent the house again. Rick was great. He was very responsive and helped with everything we needed.

Our family had a wonderful time at the FantaSea home! We loved having the golf cart- made exploring the town so convenient and fun. Location was amazing - 1 minute walk to the most beautiful beach. We’ll definitely be back to AMI!

Amazing home and location. Definitely got our money’s worth. The free use of the golf cart was a huge hit with our kids. The pool was our hangout spot in the evenings and there were no hidden fees to heat the pool. We will definitely be back.
Stayed: May 2023 Submitted: May 14, 2023
FantaSea was wonderful for our family. The only thing we could have asked for differently was an actual master bathroom. All the bathrooms were set up essentially the same with limited counter space but were very nice and clean.
Stayed: May 2023 Submitted: May 09, 2023
Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The accommodation were immaculate and as shown, the location on the Island was wonderful. The heated pool and the volleyball court provided some amazing family activities that will not soon be forgotten. Bring beach chairs and umbrellas or plan on renting them while there since there were only 3 chairs and no umbrellas provided...no big deal though since rental companies are right around the corner.The only negative to our vacation on AMI was the "red tide", which we were completely unaware of. Do your research on this phenomenon, since it prevented all of us from enjoying the beach like we had planned.
