WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Shawn S. says: Great little house. Everything you need for a beach trip. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Easy walk down to the beach. Great trip.
Vonda S. says: We enjoyed our stay here as it was comfortable, cozy, and quiet-All top tier requirements for us. The beach was a short walk and the property had all the amenities needed that we didn’t have to pack any beach supplies. I was surprised at how quiet it was although very pleased with that! We give this place 5 stars!
Susan S. says: The home has a great location in the north Anna Maria Island area. It takes a couple of minutes to walk to the beautiful wide, white sand beach that is not overly populated. The neighborhood is quiet even though one street over has fun shops and restaurants. The home is tastefully decorated with tropical woods and rattan. The backyard has a pretty heated pool and attractive landscaping making it a little garden oasis. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed our stay.
Allison H. says: Great first-time trip to AMI and we would book from Katy again. We plan to return sometime – loved AMI! Best things about rental: 1 – Location!! We could be on the beach in 2 minutes and Pine Street is just a block over (Pine street is a fun ‘everything’ street). The famed City Pier (end of Pine) is only half mile from house. Sandbar restaurant on the beach is 2 blocks away. Truly a perfect location. 2 – Katy is a great communicator. She responded quickly to texts and checked in several times. And we enjoyed meeting her. 3 – the king bed is sooo comfortable. The room has plenty of space and lots of drawers. (Although we used the second room like a closet too.) 4 – Best stocked house we’ve stayed in: sunscreen, coffee, spices, enough paper goods for the week, soap, etc. (Not like other rentals) Plus a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, floats, toys, and more, ready for usage. 5 – Overall a very comfortable, convenient stay for us. To Consider: The space was very livable and the sectional sofa nice for lounging after an active day. But this is a small beach rental with only a side yard (albeit nicely done) we hardly used given cooler temps and earlier dusk. We are active people who do things until after sunset and go to bed early so great for us. (and we liked sitting out front.) But if lounging around an aesthetic yard is important to your vaca, you might be happier in the other side (same building), which has a nice pool and larger outdoor space.
Stephanie K. says: We loved every minute of our stay in Anna Maria Island, and wish we would have booked more time. The house was perfect for my husband and I – we used the twin beds in the second bedroom to store our suitcases instead of unpacking into the dresser. The kitchen was well set up, although we chose to eat our for all of our meals. Kate was a great host, and promptly provided additional beach chairs, as the ones we found had broken backpack straps. The location of the house was perfect for walking/biking to different places…our rental car stayed parked the entire time! We would love to visit again soon!
Verified traveler says: Highly recommend OHasis Getaway! This beautiful pool home is exactly as pictured & described…couldn’t ask for more! What’s not pictured are all the helpful little things you may need in the kitchen and bathroom that have been thoughtfully included so that you can settle in immediately & feel at home. The other thing you can’t see is how perfect this location is! This home is quiet & private, but just one street over from Pine, full of great dining & shopping options within walking distance! Plus you can easily walk to the beach! We can’t wait to visit again!
Heather E. says: Its super location gives you the best shopping in walking distance along with 200 steps to the beach! I cannot wait to come back to AMI and stay at this house again!
Carolyn A. says: The property is a hold out in an area where sadly smaller beach homes are getting swallowed up by enormous $$$ replacements. The property is well cared for, the host is proactive and has literally thought of everything you could need. Plus, the location allows you to walk to restaurants, coffee and shopping. And it really is only 200 steps to the beach. Will happily stay here again!
Georgina W. says: The property is beautifully furnished, clean and exactly what you see in the photos. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home!
Tricia G. says: This was by far our favorite place to stay in AMI so far. Katy is a great host and the house was perfect for our family of 4. The location cannot be beat. We love the North end of the island and we could walk to all of our favorite spots, including the beach, within just a few minutes. The beach walk was so short our kids didn’t even complain about helping with chairs and beach gear ( which is there to borrow if needed). The house and pool were very clean, which is always really important to us. We all loved using the heated pool since it was chilly some days for swiming at the beach. The kitchen was thoroughly stocked for every meal we made and Katy even has basic cooking supplies like spices, oil, and more. The master bed was probably more comfortable than our bed at home and the whole house was cozy and homey. Anything we needed was quickly addressed by Katy and we were glad we got to meet her in person one afternoon. We will definitely be back here again soon. It’s really a great quiet spot for a first time visit and if you stay here, you won’t regret it. Make sure you walk around the block for poppos and donut experiment!
Steph O. says: The house was nice and clean and had everything we needed and more. The property was in walking distance to plenty of restaurants. We loved having the private pool. We can’t wait to visit Anna Maria again! The water was absolutely gorgeous!
Adriann H. says: We really enjoyed our time at this rental. The owner is so kind and attentive! Well maintained home and has a great location on the island…short walk to shops and beach.
Jeff J. says: We really appreciated the great communication with the owner, easy and well documented check-in. The golf cart was a nice addition, you need one in Anna Maria, parking is limited and everything is so close no need to use our car. Property was a perfect fit for us and our two kids and the location was minutes walk from the beach, pier, shops and food.
Patricia J. says: We were looking for a nice spot to escape some cold winter weather and found Anna Maria. Although the weather wasn’t great, we were still able to walk on the beautiful beach (which was very close) every day. The pool was warm and we were able to use it as well. Also loved that we were in walking distance of so many shops and restaurants. There were a few things that could use some attention, but overall this was a great place.
Dan M. says: Amazing property – Katy is an excellent host with an excellent property! Will definitely return.
Derek W. says: It was our first time at AMI, and this place did not disappoint. Katy was responsive, the place had a ton of charm, and it was right near everything we needed/wanted to do. Awesome place!
Melissa A. says: We loved our stay at this property. Everything was as described. Great communication with the owner! Just steps from the most beautiful beach. Not crowded and very quiet. We would love to stay again soon!
Leslie U. says: We had a great stay over the 4th of July week. The house was great for our needs. Super close and convenient to the beach. The pool was perfect. Loved the option of utilizing the golf cart as well. Thanks for a great week!
Leslie F. says: Great place to stay with the beach so close to your doorstep. Katy is very responsive and helpful. Comfortable accommodations with convenient area restaurants. Not the hustle and bustle of the public beach area but close enough to drive or golf cart there. So perfect!
Matthew B. says: Beautiful property that is close to the many restaurants and shops on AMI. We enjoyed the amazing pool in the back yard and grilled some locally-caught fish on the propane grill. Property is only a block away from the beach and it was easy to go back and forth, even with our two young children. The unit was well appointed and has everything you need for a relaxing week at the beach!
Ashli F. says: We had a wonderful stay at this property! Katy was very prompt with communication both during the booking process and our stay. This was our 6th visit to AMI but first at this property and it did not disappoint. The house is located very close to the beach and made it easy for us to come and go often. The house is well stocked with all the necessities. It was so nice not to have drag all of our own beach supplies with us on our trip! We loved the option to add the golf cart and didn’t get back in our car for the entire week. We cannot wait to stay at this property again in the future! Katy is a wonderful host with a fantastic property!
Adrain A. says: No doubt Anna Maria Island is one of those places you won’t ever forget. The town, the beach, the breeze, the unbelievable sunset, and from now on, I must say THIS HOUSE! First of all I have to congratulate the owners, specially Katy, what a great customer service!!!! and what a great taste she has when it comes to details and decorations. The house is perfectly neat, she has thought on everything, all that you can ever imagine you may need in your stay it’s in the house. I’m talking about from mosquito repellent until beach’s toys. The only thing you need to bring in it’s your willingness to have a wonderful time, and of course… food! The location is awesome, just few steps away from beach shore, couple of miles from supermarket, restaurants, pier, jet ski rentals and more!!! One of the thing we enjoyed the most was the patio with the pool which it has the perfect size and depth to relax after a whole day in the beach. There are just a couple of things I’d like to bring into attention!!! The entrance to the pool area from the living room has a big step that if you don’t pay attention as you walk you can hurt your toes, or lose balance and fall, this particular area isn’t friendly for people with walking limitations, or whoever in good shape if don’t pay look at floor while walking. Driveway’s entrance to the pool is completely safe! Overall I give a solid 5 star to this place. I would definitely repeat the experience in here! Thank you so much Katy!!!

Cory W. says: House is clean and close to beach. Would recommend to anyone.
Beth M. says: Our family loved this property for our recent trip to Anna Maria. Katy is an awesome host and the property has everything you need!
Lisa B. says: Great location and very well equipped home. Our 23 month old grandson loved the beach toys. We loved the seclusion of the backyard and the pool was so nice after our beach time. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of room of our adult children. We can not wait to return in 2025!
Susan S. says: The home has a great location in the north Anna Maria Island area. It takes a couple of minutes to walk to the beautiful wide, white sand beach that is not overly populated. The neighborhood is quiet even though one street over has fun shops and restaurants. The home is tastefully decorated with tropical woods and rattan. The backyard has a pretty heated pool and attractive landscaping making it a little garden oasis. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed our stay.
Patty J. says: We had a great stay at this property. It was in the perfect location for us. It had everything we needed for the beach. Hosts were available for any problems or questions we had. We hope to be back some day!
Linda K. says: The house had everything we could possibly need. Clean and roomy with a perfect location. Loved the outdoor patio!
Michelle G. says: The property was exactly as advertised! The location is wonderful. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We are looking forward to visiting again next year!
Tammy P. says: Although I don’t want word to get out about how great this property is, I have to be honest. We were so completely blown away by the attention to detail from the hosts. It is very obvious they care about their guests and provide so many little details to make you feel at home and welcomed. Coffee beans and grinder, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soaps and all the little amenities that you need but always have to throw when you leave were included. The house was so clean! Decor was so cute. The location could only be better if it was right on beach. One block or so to beach, right around the corner was Pine Avenue restaurants and shops. We walked everywhere! We loved it so much we booked again for next year before we even checked out
Mark W. says: Our family Christmas vacation was amazing! We especially enjoyed the location near the beach, the beach chairs and the heated private pool. The home had everything we needed for our stay. Great communication with our hosts as well!
Ashli N. says: We had such a wonderful vacation on AMI! The house is so perfectly situated – steps to a gorgeous beach and still close enough to shops and restaurants. Robert & Katy have thought of everything to make your stay so easy – we loved having beach towels and a wagon and beach chairs, and our kids loved when they discovered all the sand toys! We highly recommend renting their golf cart as well – that was the cherry on top and made it possible to explore so much of the island! We certainly hope to be back soon!
Craig S. says: I shouldn’t write this review, it only hurts my chances of finding another available date to book this vacation home again in the future. The pool is bigger than it appears in photos and is so richly landscaped that, even though you’re a block off the main street in Anna Maria, you would never know it while you’re out back. The convenience of this location cannot be overstated–by being a block north of Pine, you have less car traffic, making it safer for younger kids to bike, etc. You’re also just a block and a half from the beach–it’s such a simple, flat walk, no stress for the grandparents who stopped by for ice cream and a sunset. It’s obvious the owners care a lot about this home–this is not contractor-grade building or furnishing. It’s got tissues, a blender, an alarm system for the pool to keep toddlers safe, a sturdy beach cart (!), bikes, and even Tupperware! These may sound like weird points, but the details of this home really set it apart from other places we have rented in Anna Maria. The home is well laid out, quiet, clean, convenient, and simply a happy place to be. If you’re reading this review and are on the fence about whether to book it, I encourage you to quit hesitating, book the date, and look forward to a stress-free trip to AMI.
