We should have stayed one extra week... or more! We felt reassured that the place was not going to be a disappointment. Joel has been involved all the way in the renting process. That is a first for us! We were well informed and Joel kept contact with us for procedures or information. Well appreciated! Merci! PS It truly is a paradise!

Enjoyed the condo very much. It is very convenient for most activities. Due to the traffic, it made it especially nice just to walk to restaurants or take the trolley. Thanks for everything.

You will be overwhelmed by the wonderful view from the balcony, lapping waves, a beach with sand textured like powder sugar, a resturant scene to meet every taste, and you will be surrounded by "Happy" people! The condo has three bedrooms, (the master overlooks the beach) a well stocked kitchen, towels, washer and dryer, flatscreen tv's, with cable! If this unit were for sale, I would buy for myself. The owners definately take pride of ownership! I will be back as soon as I am able. This was one of the best rental experiences I have had, and we rent units four to five times a year. The owner is great; any questions, no matter how trivial will be answered promptly. Just DO IT!

Have you ever sat in a traffic jam, an office on a wet grey miserable day, an airport waiting to board a very long delayed flight and wished you were some place else? Well this is the place!! Tranquility personified and with all the trimmings. What better way to go to sleep than lulled by the gentle sound of the waves caressing a sandy beach, awakening to the days chorus of a thousand birds, the warm breeze from the gulf, and the aroma of fresh coffee from the automatic coffee maker. This place gives so much pleasure it could draw a tear from a glass eye! Hi Joel and Denise, Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful condo. We had a fantastic, relaxing time. We will highly recommend to friends and family and hope to be back next year. Deborah

Paradise is exactly what describes our stay and memory of this week. Your condo is beautiful. Nicely decorated, clean, and includes all you need. We took a chance by doing without a car rental all week. Everything is steps away along with trolley rides got us anywhere we needed to go. A week of paradise ... no car ... beautiful condo ... everything very low key ... This is exactly what we had in mind for our spring break getaway. Thanks Steph and Chris

Just got back from Anna Maria! Already looking forward to next year! The condo is in the best location on the beach-you can walk to everything that you need-restaurants, bars, and shops. (And the all important ice cream parlor!) The Publix is just a trolley ride away. I love to wake up, see the beautiful beach from my comfy bed, drink my coffee and just relax! All amenities in the kitchen that you could need for broiling your grouper and boiling your shrimp. I love the master bath with the huge shower and big walk-in closet. You can actually see the ocean while you shower! Joel and Denise have a beautiful condo!

The month went way to fast. Just when you think there is nothing more to say about Joel and Denise's bit of paradise I would like to add a very positive thought for those of you who may have accessibility issues. This condo is a dream, from the elevator to the step in shower. I am dependent on a power wheel chair and need lifts for all transfers. With limited modifications (if you have any questions, ask Joel as he saw what I had to do) I recommend this condo W/O hesitation (the shower is not a roll in). At night when the lights are out do not forget to open the blinds in the MBR to enjoy watching the phases of the moon, wishing stars and if you are real lucky, shooting STARS! Your courage, cheerfulness and resolution helps me carry on - Dougout
