Wonderful Vacation Home
Bateman’s place is just as pictured and described. Beautiful view of the canal, perfect pool for little ones, and spacious open concept - living room, dining, and kitchen. We saw good size fish and manatee off the dock. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, great beach wagon and toys. Once Upon A Beach was very responsive and easy to work with. This is the 6th Anna Maria house we have stayed at over many years, and by far the nicest.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Bateman’s exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the beautiful canal views, peaceful pool area, and all the thoughtful details inside the home.

It’s always so rewarding to hear that returning guests to Anna Maria Island find new favorites — and knowing this was your sixth visit makes your kind words even more meaningful. We truly appreciate you recognizing our team’s responsiveness and the care we put into ensuring each stay feels special.

We’d love to welcome you back again the next time your travels bring you to the island!

Wonderful Stay
We have stayed in many places over the years on AMI and I can confidently say that Bateman's by far surpassed all them. The house was exactly as described. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with everything we needed for our week's stay and then some! We appreciated the beach, chairs, toys, wagon, fishing gear, etc. Everything was spotless and the location was convenient to town and the beach. We will definitely book this house again when we return to the island. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that Bateman’s exceeded your expectations and that you had everything you needed for a wonderful stay. It means a lot to know the home—and all the thoughtful touches—made your time on the island so enjoyable. We’d be honored to welcome you back on your next visit to AMI and look forward to helping you make more unforgettable memories!

The Most Beautiful Home!!
This house is incredible!! Location - perfect. Literally a straight walk up to Bean Point. The house was beautifully cleaned and ready for our arrival. The kitchen had everything you need. And some extras! I wish I was more of a cook 🤣🤣!! The layout of the home was wonderful. Privacy, comfort, and beautifully appointed. Everything from the management company was communicated clearly ands promptly. My kid said it’s the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. I agree. It was almost so nice, we didn’t want to go out to the beach!!! 🤣🤣 10 stars!!

Wow — thank you so much for the glowing review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic stay. It sounds like you made the most of everything the home and the location have to offer — from the perfect proximity to Bean Point to all the little extras in the kitchen (even if they didn’t turn you into a gourmet chef just yet 🤣).

We especially loved hearing your kid's comment — what a compliment! It truly means the world to us that this was one of your favorite places you’ve stayed, and we’re so glad the home was a comfortable and memorable retreat for your family.
You’re welcome back anytime — we’d love to host you again!

This home was absolutely superb!! It had everything we could have wanted and more. My children loved the foosball table, the ping pong table, and the ring toss, as well as the Xbox. The adults enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and the outdoor bar area. The house itself was immaculate and very comfortable. There was plenty of room for my family of four, as well as my parents. We will defiantly be renting Batemans again!!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so happy to hear that Bateman’s was a hit for the whole family—from the game room fun for the kids to the relaxing pool, hot tub, and outdoor bar for the adults. It’s wonderful to know the home felt spacious, spotless, and comfortable for everyone. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you and your family back for another stay—can’t wait to have you at Bateman’s again! 🎮☀️🏡💙

Working with Nikki and Michael was excellent. The house is beyond beautiful, everything you could possibly think of has been provided. This is a MUST Go place, rent a golf cart and boat and live the best life. Owners are beyond accommodating , outside living space is perfect. We did Thanksgiving outside with family and it was PERFECT. Thank you for such a great experience, and my family and I cannot wait to go back!

This will be the house we book again! It greatly exceeded our expectations and the pictures do not do it justice. It was sparkling clean, much larger than expected and our welcome gift was so unexpected. The added bonus was the abundance of blankets, beach towels and toiletries. It was like being at home but of course so much better. The location is amazing and so relaxing. You are a short stroll to the beach and downtown, yet tucked away in your own private oasis. Anytime we had a minor question, Nikki responded back immediately. It was as if we had our own private concierge. I do not have a single thing I would change about this home and this house will be the reason we return to AMI as we often visit different location in FL to escape the cold of Ohio. I LOVE this house and we plan to return ASAP. Thanks for all!

Wow—thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re beyond happy to hear that the home exceeded your expectations and truly felt like a home-away-from-home (but better!).

We’re especially glad you felt supported throughout your trip—Nikki will be thrilled to hear your kind words! We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime, and we’ll have your private oasis ready whenever you’re ready to escape the Ohio cold again. ☀️🌴💙

This beautiful home has everything you could ever need. It is gorgeous and looks like it should be in a magazine. The four bedrooms are huge and my teenagers appreciated having their own space as well as bathroom. The beds are comfy and there are tons of extra blankets. There are plenty of regular towels, pool towels and beach towels. The location is perfect and we were able to walk to the pier, Bean Point or Pine Avenue for an ice cream break. The garage is fully stocked with everything you need for beach as well as fishing gear. My daughter even caught a 26" fish off the dock in back of the house! We can't wait to book our next trip to Anna Maria Island!!
Brook - Posted: 6/19/2023
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear the home provided everything you needed—and more—for a memorable and relaxing getaway. It’s great to know your teens enjoyed the spacious bedrooms and their own bathrooms (always a win!), and we love that you were able to take full advantage of the perfect location, beach gear, and even get in some successful fishing—26" is impressive! 🐟 We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome your family back for your next trip to Anna Maria Island. Until then, we’ll be here whenever you’re ready for more island magic! 🌴☀️🎣

Lovely, comfortable, private home that is fully stocked from the kitchen to the outside amenities (especially liked playing Corn Hole in the evenings). We enjoyed the opportunity to boat and kayak from the dock, and our main mode of transportation was golf cart. The beach at Bean Point is expansive and beautiful and is about a 10 minute walk from the home or quick golf cart ride. Visiting Egmont Key was a favorite plus enjoyed seeing the dolphins on the way there! We encourage all to take in a gorgeous sunrise from the pier area and a sunset from the beach. If anything, there is so much to do here, there is simply not enough time in a week span to leisurely do it all! We were also thrilled to see a manatee from the dock!
S D - Posted: 6/19/2023
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the comfort, privacy, and fully stocked amenities of the home—corn hole evenings and manatee sightings sound like the perfect island memories! We're so glad you took full advantage of the dock for boating and kayaking, and that you were able to explore special spots like Bean Point, Egmont Key, and both sunrise and sunset views. It truly sounds like you made the most of every moment! We’d love to welcome you back anytime—there’s always more magic to discover on AMI! 🌅🐬🌴

Absolutely amazing! Our first visit to AMI! This home featured ample space for 4 couples to have private bedrooms/bathrooms plus areas to dine/cook/entertain in different areas of the home. We enjoyed the outdoor area, pool/hot tub and fishing! Beautifully appointed with all the amenities! Excellent location! We will be back!! Thanks!

It’s great to know the space worked so well for your group, giving everyone their own privacy while still having room to gather, cook, and relax together.

Yup, we'll be back! This house was perfect for our party of 8 (4 couples). All of the living area/bedrooms/laundry room were located on the main (upper) floor. The living room, kitchen, and dining room were open and great for group meals and hanging out together! The King bedrooms were perfect for each couple with each having it's own attached ensuite. The decor was current and lovely. The house was clean and well cared for...and the outdoor space....AMAZING! Such a fun outdoor area under the house blending into the back yard/pool area. The pool is heated, the spa gets hot, the sectional seating area has a fire pit table, and the dining/bar area has a TV for watching football games. There's also a hammock, foosball table, and ping pong table. What else could you ask for?? The house was well equipped with everything we needed, including plenty of beach chairs, beach buggies for hauling beach gear, coolers, beach towels, umbrellas and tents, and even fishing gear for fishing in the canal behind the house! When I reached out to the rental company for help with the Spa, they responded quickly and the information was helpful! We enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the mornings drinking coffee and watching the fish splash in the canal. We LOVED this house and had an amazing visit to AMI!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear the home was a perfect fit for your group—and it sounds like you made the most of every single amenity! 💙 From the spacious, thoughtfully designed layout to the king suites with private ensuites, we’re so glad everyone had the space and comfort they needed. And that outdoor area… we love hearing how much you enjoyed it—from football by the fire pit to soaking in the spa, and everything in between! 🏖️🔥🏈 It’s also wonderful to know the beach gear and fishing setup came in handy—and that our team could support you quickly when you needed it. We truly aim to make your stay as smooth and memorable as possible. We’re so happy you had an amazing time on AMI and at the house, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back again soon!

If you are looking to relax in a beautiful and fun fill spot, then this is the place for you. The apartment is outstanding and well equipped, set in a peaceful and private setting and the local places to eat and drink will not disappoint. We were amazed by the beaches with their white sand and clear blue seas. Nothing is too much trouble for Once Upon a Beach and our stay was a perfect mixture of slowing down and sightseeing. A big thank you from our family for making this stay special.

This house is truly marvelous! Our second visit to the Bateman's and AMI. We absolutely love the house and all that it offers. A massive kitchen and dinning area, large living room and very elegant bedrooms makes for an extremely comfortable stay. The outside area is awesome, the swimming pool, spa, table tennis, foosball and bar area with TV are perfect for hanging out at the house and firing up the grill. The dock on the canal is great for fishing off of (fishing gear in the garage) and spending hours just watching the manatee's go by. The house is in a wonderful location within walking distance to the local stores and restaurants, there are also many golf cart rentals near by. The beach "Bean Point" is amazing and only a short walk from the house, beautiful white sand, aqua color water and never very crowded. The house even has, beach chairs, coolers, canopy and a beach buggy to haul the gear to and from the beach!! We LOVE this house and the local area!

It sounds like you truly made the most of everything the home and location have to offer—from the spacious and elegant interiors to the fun-packed outdoor area and serene moments on the canal. We love that you were able to enjoy Bean Point and all the thoughtful beach gear included for your convenience. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back again for another unforgettable stay! 🌴☀️🐠

Answer:

Guests with reservations at any Once Upon A Beach property will receive a credit towards beach gear rentals, which includes bicycles! The credit amount varies by nightly rate and can be found when entering your Reservation ID into the VayKLife Portal. After reserving your home, you'll receive an email from VayKLife to select your gear via the Once Upon A Beach customized beach gear website. If you exceed the credit limit, additional items can be added at discounted rates. Your gear will be delivered to your rental property on the day you arrive and picked up on the day you depart, ensuring a stress-free vacation experience.
