Serendipity - Beach Front 4/3

My family and I had an excellent time at Serendipity. Would highly recommend! The golf cart is a must to explore the island. The hot tub was also an excellent touch. Rick and Maria were very responsive and extremely helpful in local recommendations and making sure our stay was as relaxing and carefree as possible. We would stay at any one of their properties!

Rick and Maria were great at communicating throughout our entire process of pre check-in and during our stay and check-out. They had great amenities that my adult children enjoyed using! Thank you for making it a smooth process and a weekend they'll remember with beautiful memories! Maria

This home boasts a truly stunning location that takes your breath away the moment you step onto the main floor. The view is absolutely incredible, and the hosts are both responsive and friendly. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a restful stay.One thing to be aware of is the empty lot next door. While we were lounging outside, there were often people next to us, fishing or exploring the area, and it's possible that construction may begin there at some point.We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, which was a great bonus. Although there’s no direct beach access from the waterfront of the property, walking just a few houses down gets you there easily — something we didn’t mind at all. Overall, it's a beautiful spot and well worth the visit.

Serendipity is a lovely home situated right on the water. We were able to easily access the beach, watch dolphins pass through daily, see fisherman with their catch and enjoy the peace that the north end of the island offers. This home was pristine complete with ample towels, a fully stocked kitchen and extremely comfortable beds! We made good use of the game room, golf cart, bikes and hot tub. The owner and Maria were super friendly and helpful with suggestions and communication. An absolute winner of a property!

Great house and location! Very clean and comfy. Beautiful views. Lots of kitchen tools. Beds were very comfortable. And owners very responsive to our needs. It was colder when we were there and we could have used a few extra blankets, and it would have been great to have a few throws in the living room. No other suggestions!

Our stay at this beachfront house was nothing short of spectacular! The location is unbeatable – right on the water, with breathtaking views that made every moment special. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we could have asked for. From the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds, it was clear that a lot of thought went into ensuring guests have a wonderful experience. We loved spending time on , enjoying the sunrise and sunset over the ocean from the back deck. The area is also perfect and peaceful enough for a truly relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly attentive, providing helpful tips and responding promptly to any questions we had. This property exceeded all of our expectations, and we can't wait to come back again!

What a beautiful location! Our family had a fantastic visit to Ana Maria Island and this was the perfect home for us. Clean, roomy, with beautiful views from the living room and back porch. Incredible swimming, shell collecting, and water sports are all right outside your door. Lovely evening walks down the beach to catch the sunset. Great variety of sports equipment available for use. Check the house notes - beach replenishment work happens each summer and so there may be some construction activity on the beach directly behind the house.This did not bother us, as the beach is still easily accessible from the neighborhood.

We stayed at Serendipity for one week with family. The house worked very well as far as everyone had their own room and the living area was spacious. The highlight was the view of the gulf from the upper deck. We loved that the home included two paddle boards, a kayak, bicycles, beach chairs and coolers, among other beach items. We also had a great time tooling around in the six seater golf cart. We would certainly rent the house again.

This stay was amazing. The house was very spacious and having a full kitchen was very convenient. They had a lot of extras in the garage including water activities, and a golf cart. The area was perfect and everything was within a bike ride/ short golf cart ride. We did have a little issue with the golf cart but they were very responsive and came out to replace it with a newer one very quickly. Even with the construction of the seawall at the beach area, we were not inconvenienced at all. We still had quick access to the beach and the noises were almost non existent. Overall I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a beautiful beach house in Ana Maria island to spend time with the family.

The location on the island is wonderful. Unfortunately for my group construction began on the seawall the week we were there, causing noise and workers there every day as well as limiting direct beach access - my primary reason for picking it. Rick was open to hearing my concerns and we came to an agreement we could all live with. Home and yard/beachfront will be lovely when complete. Home has all you need for a comfortable stay.

We will definitely return to serendipity on Anna Maria. The views from the back porch were amazing, we saw dolphins, manatees, and stingrays! Clean and welcoming home with responsive and helpful hosts. Thank you for a perfect relaxing vacation. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our visit to Serendipity. Right on the water, the view is beautiful from the open family room and kitchen through the wall of windows, and from the large porch. The hot tub was a nice bonus, and the golf cart, kayak and SUPs were great. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We will definitely stay again the next time we visit Anna Maria island.

went here on spring break with another family. 10 of us total. 6 kids, 4 adults. we all had an amazing time. the back of this property is not necessarily a beach that you would want to take little kids. but we had a couple of calm days and used the stand up paddle boards, etc. the beach was a quick golf cart ride away. it was just a magical trip. and rick and his wife were very helpful and wonderful hosts! couldnt recommend this place more!

Everything was beautiful, the house was as we expected, very well stocked kitchen ! the communication with the property manager was fantastic! Beautiful views from the porch . the only drawback was that there is a public access point on one side of the house and an empty lot on the other side so there was a lot of public traffic - people walking very close to the house, swimming and fishing right below you and vehicle parking in the empty lot

Serendipity is beautiful and unique for how close it is to the water. The deck overlooks the ocean and is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing.

Beautiful spot in probably the best area of the island. The house is North facing, so shaded on the porch most of the day (which is ideal in the summer months).Anna Maria has lots of restaurants and cafes many of which are a five minute buggy ride from the house.The facilities were really good too. The six seater buggy meant we hardly used the car and the Kayak and SUP were great too. Kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped.The only slight negative was that the upstairs could get a little noisy if the washer/dryer was on as well as the air con unit.

We enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive and helpful. The location is good, you can easily (just climbing over a few rocks) walk for a long ways down the ocean side of the island. The house had everything that was listed, plus some. The house has a hot tub that I don't think was in the pictures. The hot tub seems brand new and works great. My kids used the paddle boards and ping pong table. The house is right next to a public access so there is a lot of foot traffic on the beach side of the house with people trying to find that exit. Not loud or disturbing, just surprising sometimes. There is a new house being built just across the street so during the week there was construction noise. The view can't be beat. When standing in the living room or kitchen and looking out, all you see is water. The elevator didn't work during our stay. The host responded quickly but it wasn't fixed during our stay. One of our family members has difficulty with stairs and there are lots.

Amazing!! We were so pleased with Serendipity! Super clean. It had everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable! It’s located in a very nice neighborhood near shopping and restaurants. Bean Point Beach is just steps away. The view from the porch is tremendous. We loved every minute at Serendipity. We were sad to leave.

The house was great and a perfect setup for our family. Very well kept. They even had some kid safety features like built in “gates” at each of the stairs. We thought we would use the deck a lot more but it was very windy on the bay side the entire time we were there. The property by the water was covered in roots from a tree that had been partially removed. My wife and I spent the first hour cleaning up the sand so that we could put some chairs out there. Also not easy access to the water due to all the rocks. Great views though out of the living room. All in all we enjoyed the house and our time on the island.
