About the host: Vacationed on Anna Maria Island in 2008, loved the relaxing atmosphere and charm of the area. Decided to buy this vacation home and have shared it with thousands of guests since July, 2008. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and come over to my vacation home as often as possible.
I grew up in western Kentucky near Bowling Green. I was drafted in 1971 and spent 2 years in the Army. I graduated with chemical engineering degree in December 1974 from University of Kentucky that moved me to Louisiana in January 1975. I have been in Baton Rouge all but first 3 years in Lake Charles. I was married and have 4 children that attended Baton Rouge schools and graduated from Louisiana State University as Tiger fans.
Why this property? The old real estate saying, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In addition to that, the home had such a warm comfortable feeling that you felt relaxed immediately and ready to enjoy that island vacation atmosphere. The convenience of it on the island and surrounding area made it great to stay a week or quickly feel “at home” for a much longer stay. The atmosphere of island is very laid back, relax you are on vacation!!!

RobertGreat Vacation Spot. Great Owner. Awesome Location
What an awesome place. Lots of rooms to stretch out. The 2 car garage and big drive way were nice for ease of parking and to securely store things. The large shared pool is wonderful and perfect temp. Nice outdoor shower to wash off after the beach. Very centrally located to everything. Public’s was 1/2 mile away. Walked to shopping 3 blocks down the road.Thanks David. We can’t wait to come back next April. We already reserved our 2 weeks next year.

Laurie M.Awesome house and outdoor area
Nice house with a fantastic outdoor area with a nice pool, sitting area, bar, and t.v.. Close to the beach and there were chairs, tents, beach toys, and a wagon. Walking distance to several restaurants that we really liked.

Gwen P.Location!
The location was awesome, we were only one block from the beach! We kept our loaded wagon in the garage and were ready to go each morning. The house was roomy and bright; with 3 decks there was lots of outdoor space. The best part was how nice the owner, David was; he was always available, a phone call away! Nice big pool. All in all I would give this rental a 4 only because it needed some minor updates. Having said that I would stay there again.

Kathleen C.Quiet Beach View Location
This house is all about the location!! It's a Great location, 2 houses from the beach on a dead-end road. This home has 2 decks facing the beach for you to sit out and enjoy the beautiful sunsets! It's a very spacious 3 bedroom home with all the amenities you'd want or need! When you want a quick bite to eat, It's location is a short walk down the beach to a local outside grille area where they have nightly entertainment. We appreciated being able to communicate directly with the owner! David was very attentive to meeting our needs. I love dealing with the owners vs. The management companies. It's more personal. Perfect getaway for these northern Healthcare workers! Kitty and Doug

Christina J.What a perfect spot on AMI!
No traffic, no noise and right across from the beach! From the pool to the kitchen, we didn't have to look far to have all our needs met. The landlord, David, is a phone call away and very prompt to respond if you have a question. More than enough room for everyone - even a balcony tucked away when you need some alone time!

Lacie H.Location, space and value!
The owner of this beach home was top notch! Great to communicate with, and flexible! We typically stay on the North end of the beach, this was our first time at Homes. Very close to Publix and Dollar Tree for things we needed. The beach was so close and allowed our group of 6 to come and go for lunch, pool breaks, etc. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Public Beach/Beach Cafe to grab a cocktail, a bite to eat and listen to live music. They also had sand volley ball courts. Huge garage with an extra fridge that was handy for our drinks. Plenty of space for us to all spread out. Loved the different balconies and the views. The inside is a bit dated, and the linens/bedding/pillows could be updated as well but for the value, location, and marvelous owner, can't really complain. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the awesome memories!

Heather M.Great time in August
This is the 3rd time we have stayed here. As always we had a great time and no rain. House was very clean and no issues. The owner has a list of expectations which is great. The owner is available if you need anything and makes contact with you during the week to confirm no issues. Love the location, close to the beach and quiet neighborhood. Definitely recommend.

Heather, glad you, family, and boat returned for another vacation at my 2 houses there. Glad I found you a boat ramp option closer by the house to launch. Always looking forward to hear from you for your next stay at the houses. I appreciate your attention and feed back on the new larger air conditioning system installed in July and letting me know it is working great. Looking forward to your next stay. Thanks, David.
Pamela R.Convenient location and comfortable home
This was our second time renting this house, and also once rented the next store house. Nice beach houses, easy walk to beach, plenty of room, comfortable abodes. David was very responsive, amiable, and quick to resolve an issue that we had. He has always been very accomodating and easy to work with. Easy access to PUBLIX Grocery store is a plus as well. Plenty of towels and nice washer/dryer. House was very clean upon arrival. We hope to rent from David again next August. Always a pleasant experience.

Pam, I enjoy having your family at my houses and know they will be taken care of if as it were your own home. I appreciate your comments to make me aware of issues that need my attention and care. Always glad to have return for a stay at either house. Thanks for your stay again, David.
Chanda H.Terrific Location
The house was just as listed. The owner was very kind and responsive to any question or concern. The guidelines and expectations were clearly written and easy to follow.They proximity to the beach was very convenient and a beautiful access walk to the beach. It is a fairly calm road with little traffic. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house was clean and stocked with essentials. We liked the different floors for living space and bedroom spaces. The pool was a nice addition (even though in July the water was quite warm).We look forward to coming back again and again!

Penny O.Holmes Beach Happy Place!!
Spacious, clean and comfortable house with all the amenities for a get-a-way beach vacation! The house has a lovely heated pool, multiple decks, fully equipped kitchen, with plenty of seating areas to relax and enjoy. It has a fabulous location on the island with a 2 minute walk to beach on a quiet street that dead ends to beach. There is easy walkable access to shopping and restaurants and a free trolley for transportation throughout Anna Maria island. We enjoyed wonderful walks on the white sandy beach from dawn to sunset. Would love to revisit!!

Penny & Ed, thank you for your gracious review and your stay at my house. It was a pleasure having you and look forward to you returning. It was so much appreciated the respect and care you took of the house while you were there. I strive to keep the house clean & comfortable for guests and your efforts on your departure makes the preparation for next guest so much easier. Thank you again, David.
Faye B.Great week at Anna Maria Island.
This house was very warm and most accommodating for a family or a group of 8 friends. The heated pool was very inviting,clean and well kept and a very warm temperature of 85. The patio around the pool had all the comforts of home with a gas grill and plenty of chairs around the table and plenty of lounge chairs. The beach is only a short walk of 150 ft with easy access from 47th street which dead ends to the beach giving easy access to the beach. The white powdery sand was inviting and wonderful walking on the beach. The sunsets are beautiful on Anna Maria. It was lovely having a huge garage to keep the car out of the sun.
