Serendipity Deux -Luxury Beachfront Pool & Spa - Golf Cart -Elevator

Serendipity was a beautiful place to stay overall, and we truly enjoyed our time there—especially the peaceful mornings and the incredible water views. The home itself was comfortable and made for a relaxing getaway.That said, I do want to share important details for future guests so expectations are clear. The biggest difference from the listing is the exterior/beach access. The photos suggest direct walk-out access to the beach, which was a big reason we booked over a year in advance. However, the beach has since washed away, and during our stay there was no actual beach beyond the glass wall—just a drop-off with rocks and shoreline barriers.Activities I looked forward to for the price, like walking along the beach or easily launching the paddleboard weren’t feasible without extra effort (we had to go around and over rocks to access the water). While the views are still stunning, the lack of usable beach access was disappointing compared to what was advertised.

We had a wonderful stay! We loved the house which was very well equipped and super comfortable, and loved the location at bean point beach. Like some others have said there is no beach anymore at the end of the garden but not an issue as beach access was only a 2min walk. We found the hosts very responsive and helpful. Would love to return!

What a beautiful home! We loved the views and sitting on the porch to read and hear the waves. The kids loved the pool and it was fun to try the paddle boards and kayak. We even picked up some bait to go fishing with the provided poles. There is not as much beach as shown in the pictures and there are new rocks or more rocks have been uncovered and the sand is lower so getting down to the water is a bit tricky, especially with the kayak. During low tide there is about 2-3 feet of exposed sand. Great location and fun to explore with the golf cart! The home has everything you need!

Paradise in Anna Maria IslandThe house is unbelievably luxurious and clean. The location is perfect. The house has all the amenities you could ask for from high class espresso machines to a golf cart.Pelicans sit on the water outside of our deck and we saw a few dolphins. I highly recommended and I can’t wait to go back!!

We love this place. It’s our second year coming here and we’ll no doubt be back next year. The house has always been spotless, and has excellent amenities.

There were so many positives about this home-great location, wonderful 4 bedroom Kings with en-suite bathrooms, huge kitchen and once we figured out the stove/oven very easy to prepare meals in, and loved the golf cart❤️❤️❤️ our only negative was spa heating wasn’t always working, very loud a/c vents on upstairs bedrooms, and elevator gave us grief on our last day out! All things that were quickly responded to by owner. Would recommend for unrelated group of 8 or large family

I stayed here with my family for my mother-in-law birthday. The fact that you have your own beach access is huge. It's all depends on what you are looking for. We wanted less people and quiet. It was just that. Positive things Electric 6 person cart, kayak, paddle-board, everything you would need to go to the beach including beach chairs coolers beach shoes etc. was a huge plus. Location to the beach was just what we were looking for. The small details that was included, coffee pods, snacks, water, wine. A few things we did suggest for possible furniture add on was or improvement were :There is no outdoor TV to watch sports when you spend all day at the pool/beach. We wanted to watch a football game but we all had to go up and be inside for it. They do have huge wall space for it if they really want to add to the experience. Pool itself needs some fixing as some of the tiles were broken off and needed some updating to it. We ere getting eaten by the mosquitoes outside maybe install a ceiling fan for the outside pool area to help with that. These are just things that we noticed by spending all of our time outside. I'm sure if people are only by the pool for a few hours they won't mind. But we spent a lot of our time by the pool. They did think of everything other than that. We would absolutely book it again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful the home was—every detail was thoughtfully designed, cozy, and welcoming. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable stay.The location was unbeatable—just steps from the beach with stunning views, peaceful surroundings, and the sound of the waves as our daily soundtrack. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee on the deck or watching the sunset in the evenings, every moment felt like a dream.

If you’re looking a relaxing vacation with friends and family, this is the place. The private beach was the perfect spot to enjoy some quality time while being fully immersed in the beauty that surrounded the house. There are so many places to go that are in walking distance, it makes exploring the town a breeze. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a laidback beach vacation.

Serendipity was absolutely AMAZING! We had the best trip and loved the home. We traveled with small children and they literally thought of everything that we needed (even baby gates on the stairs). Easy check in and extremely responsive host. Rick was very helpful! We had a small issue with the elevator (user error) and Rick was right there fixing it the next morning. The beds were very comfortable and the entire place just made you feel right at home. This home is beauty at its best with a million dollar view! Easy access to the beach and the pool area is surrounded by a fence and a barrier from the ocean for safety. Local restaurants are close by and the food was great each place we went! The home was very clean and the kitchen was out of this world! We made lots of beautiful memories in this beautiful home and can't wait to plan our next trip to Anna Maria Island at Serendipity Deux!

This house was clean, check in was easy, and it was beautiful. The house is remarkably detailed in layout and design and comfortably fit eight adults for three nights. The water out front is shallow and perfect for swimming - where was saw numerous manatees and dolphins. The house included coolers, bikes, golf cart, and all of the other amenities needed to enjoy. We were also very close to Pine Ave and the local shopping and restaurants. Would love to go again!

Let me just say that the owners did a fantastic job with this home! The home was beautiful and my family and I truly enjoyed our stay. Pros and cons according to my family and I: Pros - BEAUTIFUL home + location - Amazing view - Nice amenities - Owner! Extremely understanding and attentive. Cons - property management team! I was told that I could fill out paperwork when I got there and was harassed for months. It started off as weekly and then daily… msg’d me on the app, via email + text. Be warned that you will need to fill out paperwork in advance. They will also charge you (+ extra) without warning if mentioned via text. Lastly, conflicting/lacking info via msgs - cleanliness: the kitchen plates, bowls, utensils, etc were nasty! Caked on food from previous stays. I had to rewash everything I used. Also - there were ants in the master bathroom. - dead plants in bathrooms - the floors = gorgeous but very uncomfortable to stand on. Bring slippers! I would come back but w/price lowered.

Every detail, from the high-end décor to the well-thought-out amenities, made us feel like royalty.

We had three adult couples staying for our short trip. The house was beautiful and very well maintained. As stated in some of the other reviews, the pictures of the beach access were a tad misleading. There is a large concrete barrier to climb over with not a whole lot of sand area to sit by the water remaining. It didn't change my overall opinion on the property. We still loved the trip and will be recommending to anyone looking to stay in the area. The owner was extremly responsive and such a great help to the few question I had. Loved the property and will definitely stay again!

I will start with the good first. This home was absolutely gorgeous. Like breathtaking. Clean. Fast responses to host. No issues with the home other than water in bathtub not getting warm and temp on middle floor staying a bit warm. But all issues the owner/manager responded with so fast and was willing to fix, etc. super nice guy. There isn’t a “beach” area like the photos….The tide is too high. You have to climb over rocks. They def need to update their listing pic as it is deceiving and not accurate whatsoever. our last full day here they did construction work right outside the house. We weren’t informed this would be happening before or after we booked the home. When you pay 15k for only truly 4 full days at a home that you are supposed to be able to get to the beach from by opening a gate.. that was pretty annoying. 3k a day basically for a home with beach front access- that shouldn’t happen. No notice given, no discount, no sorry for the inconvenience. Other than that- perfect.

La casa es un espectáculo, muy bonita, zona muy tranquila y cerca de todo Pero sinceramente íbamos con la mentalidad de que íbamos a poder disfrutar de la playa que está justo detrás de la casa, lamentablemente el acceso es difícil (más con niños) ya que hay rocas y estaba llena de algas Independientemente disfrutamos mucho de AMI y de la casa ya que está muy cerca de accesos de playas paradisíacas de arena blanca y perfectas para niños Gracias

This was an incredible luxury palace that my children and their partners and my elderly in-laws stayed for a week. From the gourmet kitchen to the high end finishes and elevator, it totally served all of our needs. The outdoor pool and spa and the grounds were spectacular. The golf cart, bikes, water toys and games were a complete hit. It is close to everything so you could walk, bike or take the golf cart wherever you needed to go. Our family of eight ranged from 20-80 years old and we all felt we were at a luxury resort! Highly, highly recommend!! We could walk into the water and swim, we saw manatees, dolphins, manta rays, and tins of fish right from one of the two balcony’s. Hot tub heats up in seconds and wifi was great. We love Anna Maria Island and will definitely be back. ❤️❤️❤️

We had a great stay. Loved that they provided baby equipment and 6 seat golf cart and bikes. The kitchen area was beautiful. Only complaint was we would have liked more towels. Also, the biggest downside was there was no beach and the pictures online show a nice sized beach. Our son was with us that has foot problems and 3 small children and the reason we rented this particular house was because of the pictures of the beach. We felt that the pictures should be updated. We understand weather issues and beach erosion, however, this was a material difference that should have been communicated to us and pictures should have been updated.

This home worked great for our family. My wife’s parents were with and the elevator made things very easy for the them. Everything was spotless and perfect.

We will be back.

My stay was amazing! Did not want to leave. Didn’t think it was possible but the house was even better than the pictures. The pool was heated and had party lights. A complete vibe. The host provides local excursion information that came in handy and made everything easy to book. The house included a 6 seater golf cart and 4 bikes which made it very convenient getting around. I recommend not going grocery shopping until after you check in and see what is already provided. The house comes with a lot of stuff already stocked. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We were even able to check out late which I greatly appreciated since our flight got delayed. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Definitely coming back

Serendipity Duex is my dream come true. From the mind blowing Caribbeam color water like views, to the elegant high end decor, the architecture of the home, it is like something out of a fairy tale. The home is well stocked, spotlessly clean, the marble showers are spacious with various heads (which were appreciated), the pool and its arches feel like they’re straight from architectural digest. I’ve rented high end properties all over the world and this was hands down my favorite. A+ would be an understatement. Also the hosts were very kind and responsive. Thank you for your hospitality.

Rick was/is an amazing host. The host is gorgeous on a nice location. It’s literally a 30 second walk from Bean point. The house is near flawless…yes there are appliance annoyances like every rental on AMI but who cares. But Rick truly is first class. Here is an example…we missed the first 4 days due to the extreme cold weather in Minnesota. So what did he do? Allowed us to stay an extra 4 days. He gives off great karma and we cannot wait to rent one of his many houses again on AMI.
