Fantastic week on AMI
We had a great stay at Caribbean Reef. This almost never happens but the house was even better than pictured. The pool was a great alternative to the beach for quick dips or on chilly days. The kitchen was well equipped for a week stay with good cookware and knives, even a crockpot and griddle. Barbecue was clean and worked great, oven was sparklingly clean. The rental company was responsive and accommodating when we had a late flight on checkout day. Next time I’ll plan better and bring my own soap and dishwasher detergent as the rental comes with a tiny amount. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back to this house again!

Great home with good location
Home was wonderful but needs more blankets. The Tv’s in the bedrooms also struggled to work and are not smart Tv’s. Ice machine in fridge also broken and was never repaired so we had to buy bags of ice.

Perfect Family Getaway!
This was our first experience renting through VRBO, and it was our first time in Ana Maria Island after a colleague recommendation… Highly recommend visit this beautiful place, and we hope to return again soon! The rental process was super easy, and they even accommodated our request to extend our stay upon arrival due to have beautiful this home is! The house was clean, and it had the amenities we needed for the week. We drove down with a toddler and an infant to reduce our potential for Covid exposures, and the yard with private pool was ideal for our little guy to jump and swim in. The beach was also a three minute walk from the home, and the wagon and beach chairs provided by the host mean for easy transport with kids to relax on the beach as well.

Great Covid Getaway!
We needed to get the heck out of Michigan for a bit and this place delivered! We decided last minute (like booked 3 days before we left) that we were heading back to AMI. House was great, had everything we needed from bottle openers to kitchen towels! The master bed wasn’t super comfy, but whatever. I just took a nap in the sun later in the day! Haha! We’ll be back!
