The property itself was nice, as well as the area. The unit was clean and perfect for our trip. The lagoon behind the house is lovely and peaceful. Beach is close by, and restaurants are too. My complaints are with Anna Maria Life as the property management. If you compare their host fees through VRBO/Expedia to similar properties, they are incredibly high. We were required to evacuate the property and area two days before scheduled check-out due to hurricane Helene. We checked the agreement we were required to sign with AML and it stated no refunds due to mandatory evacuations. But after leaving, we were contacted by VRBO explaining that when they implement the Extenuating Circumstances period, the host is required to refund the unused portion of the reservation. Evidently this was an update to VRBO earlier this year. Well, AMLā€™s required agreement is in direct conflict of this policy. Even when VRBO directly contacted AML, they stated they would not issue the refund. We escalated the case and waited a few days and finally received an email stating they would provide the refund less the applicable credit card fees. Perhaps AML should review their legal documents to ensure they are not in direct conflict with policies such as this and ensure guests feel confident in who they are booking with, not just trying to get more money. I get it, itā€™s a business. BUT, I would have been a repeat guest had it been handled better, which would have brought more money in the end.

This was a gem of a find. Perfect location on a canal with a short walk to the beach on the other side. The place was spotless. Appliances appeared new. When we had trouble with the thermostat I called the property manager and they sent someone right out. I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the time we arrived we were very impressed. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay was right there, from the great unit that we rented, to the beautiful dock out the back door, to the kayaks there for our use. A 3 minute walk to the beach and many things to see and do. Serenity Cove was the perfect name for this place.

Fantastic property and location. Perfect for a couples get away. The only issue we had was a broken beach umbrella which we called the property management about. Unfortunately they never got back to us about the issue or sent a replacement. Minor problem all in all and would gladly return.

The perfect couples getaway!
Wow, what an amazing experience my husband and I had here! Here are some things we loved: -Watching the sunrise from the back dock -A quick 2 minute walk to the beautiful beach which wasnā€™t crowded even though we were there during Spring Break -kayaking on the canals all the way out to Tampa Bay -riding our rental bikes around the island to look at the beautiful homes, get ice cream, and window shop (you donā€™t even need bike locks here - itā€™s a super safe area!) -relaxing in the hammock reading a book -the super clean, modern, and high-end feel of the apartment -the fully stocked kitchen -The cute little lizards running around the back yard -the nice beach chairs and wagon to make hauling your stuff to the beach super easy We felt truly relaxed here. It was just what weā€™d hoped. Something I didnā€™t realize is that the dock area is shared with the other rental units on the property. There was just one other couple there at the same time as us, and they were really nice so we didnā€™t mind, but itā€™s worth mentioning since the dock is right behind this unit. We truly couldnā€™t have asked for a better getaway!

This place is great for a couple or even couples if each rents one of the 4 units on the property. Everything was top notch - clean, top of the line equipment (rare in vacation rentals), the hammock, swing, tables outside - we even had friends over for a BBQ. The best is the location : 2 minute walk to the beach and it's on the canal. We kayaked from the house through the mangroves to the gulf - it's amazing!
