We stayed for a week in Kokomo. It was a block off the beach, which made it so convenient. The place was clean and decorated so cute. Would definitely stay there again.

Kokomo was the perfect spot for us. Brief walk to the beach. Quick drive to most anything. Best of all, a quiet central location. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. I would love to go back!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear Kokomo was the perfect spot for your getaway. The quiet, central location really is a gem—and we're happy you found it both relaxing and convenient. It’s great to know the home had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

Our getaway week to Kokomo on Anna Maria Island was over the top fabulous. The Kokomo residence was perfect for us to unwind and relax and share sister moments together, which was long overdue. Kokomo was so “beachie” decorated, we could have stayed every day at the unit. We had our “own” little pool which was so relaxing after a day at the beach. The beach was a five-minute walk from our front door. Available was a beach cabana (wonderful) for those hot afternoons, beach chairs, and more with a wagon to transport everything to the beach! What more could you ask for. Your stay at this unit will be unforgettable. The updates from Hurricane Helene and Milton were not even noticeable. The remodel was beautiful. A very special place to stay and will be in our hearts for a long time. Oh, and beds and sheets were luxurious!

Wow—thank you so much for this beautiful review! We’re absolutely thrilled that Kokomo was the perfect setting for your long-overdue sister getaway. It means the world to know that you felt relaxed, pampered, and right at home. We love that you enjoyed the beachy décor, the private pool, and all the little extras we include to make a beach day easy and enjoyable. Your kind words about the remodel mean a lot, especially after the hard work put in post-Hurricane Helene and Milton. We're so happy Kokomo left a lasting impression, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime. Until then, we’ll be holding space for your next unforgettable stay!

Kokomo was a great place to stay. Steps away from the beach, restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again. Everything was perfect.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that Kokomo was the perfect spot for your stay and that you enjoyed the easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shops. It’s always our goal to create a seamless, relaxing experience—and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
