The bungalow was amazing, updated, clean. The trash cans are small but regular trash is right outside if those are an issue. The gulf is like a block away. The house maid is very nice and will help in any way possible. I cant say enough of the good things but well worth every penny.
So happy I chose to stay here very beautiful and up to date property 3 minute walk to the gulf coast on Anna Maria island. Large smart tvs with all streaming devices. Grills and heated pool nicest place I’ve stayed in a while wish I could live here
Our unit was not cleaned well at all when we arrived. The bathroom was so outdated and small. The floor in the unit was very sticky and the AC was set to 78 and smelled like mildew. I definitely wouldn’t stay here again. For over $500 a night there are far better options. This place shouldn’t cost more than $275 a night and that’s even pushing it for what you get. 👎🏼
We went to this place for one night just as a getaway and it’s a very nice private place. There are a few things that could be better, the chairs they give you are falling apart and hard to put on your back to carry bc the straps don’t stay on, the shower is a bit small and we couldn’t figure out the hot tub for awhile, We could turn the lights on and the jets but couldn’t figure out the temp until my husband finally went around building outside the pool area completely and found a temp gauge to turn it up, which is dumb it should be inside the hot tub area so your not searching for it. We also thought it would be more bubbly. :/ Other than those few things it was a nice quiet relaxing stay. Not a long walk to beach maybe 3/4min.
Updated rooms small parking for only 4 vehicles and no microwave no garbage cans only small bathroom ones does have beach chairs close to the beach walking distance

Buying a boat from AHOY in Sarasota, Florida? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask AHOY which models suit the waterways near Sarasota, Florida.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at AHOY.
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like AHOY will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. AHOY should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
Marine financing has unique terms. Here is what to know before financing a boat through AHOY in Sarasota, Florida.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years for larger boats. Smaller boats are typically financed over 5 to 10 years.
Down Payment
10% to 20% is standard. Some lenders require more for older vessels.
Pro Tip
Get pre-approved by your bank before visiting AHOY — it gives you a rate to compare against dealer financing.
