Family Vacation
I have a family of eight, and we vacation in Florida all the time. This location was absolutely amazing. It really was the best of everything. It is close to shops and to the beach as well as dining. It's really centrally located to all that the island has to offer. The unit itself is just amazing, and we all absolutely love the setup. You have both private space and spaces for family gatherings for activities and meals. The outdoor landscaping is absolutely beautiful and it reminded us of Hawaii where we're from. It has just enough room to make the units feel large but not distant from each other. If my family and I ever returned to Anna Maria Island, this will definitely be the place we decide to stay.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your family of eight had such a wonderful experience and that the home exceeded your expectations. It means so much to know that the layout, location, and tropical landscaping brought both comfort and a touch of "home" to your stay—especially with the comparison to beautiful Hawaii!

We’re so glad the space offered the perfect balance for both gathering and privacy, and that you were able to enjoy all the best of what Anna Maria Island has to offer just steps away. It would be our absolute pleasure to welcome you back anytime. Thank you again for choosing Once Upon A Beach—we’ll be here whenever you’re ready to return!

Very nice accomodations at Island Girl! Home was very clean when we arrived and had all of the comforts of home. Looks just like the pics posted. Plenty of towels provided. They also provided beach towels, umbrellas, carts and beach toys. Very spacious home with two beautiful, modern but warmly decorated units attached by a large deck. Beautiful pool and surroundings! Short walk to the beach in a beautiful neighborhood. Fast, friendly, responsive, communication. Plan to revisit again. Great family memories made!!
