Perfect Family Christmas Getway!

We stayed Christmas week and Calypso Cottage had everything we needed to have a really wonderful vacation! The house is only 2 blocks from the beach which is beautiful and has a souvenir/convenience store and a beach café–excellent pancakes. The house was immaculate and the furniture in excellent condition. The kitchen was big and the chairs and bedding very very comfy! We took our Boston Terrier and he was a very well-behaved boy! We enjoyed the TV’s in all rooms and the pool area and hot tub are just fabulous with plenty of seating. The wrap around the house heated pool is huge (goes to 5 ft) and perfect for someone with little ones since it is really shallow (truly ankle length on the side of the house almost Zero depth entry). The added bonus is the privacy of the foliage around the house and there are 2 rooms off the lounge area next to the pool and one of these rooms has a nice sitting area with big TV and the other room has a ping pong table and chairs– just like a game room!. There is also a storage room with beach toys and beach chairs/cart. We rented a golf cart to drive around the island. My 8, 23 and 26 year olds loved it and we drove to the beach and to the shopping areas. The weather on Anna Maria island was in the 70’s and perfect. You can even walk your dog on the causeways that connect the island to the mainland– close to the house . Anna Maria vacations staff was outstanding with answering our questions and even sent out their own staff to clean the pool and fix the WI-FI since there was a big storm a few days before we checked in. I am so happy with the excellent service they provided and we will be back again! Thank You to the Owners and to the AMI vacations staff for a beautiful experience and stay in a lovely home!!!

Thank you for the amazing review, Pam! We are so glad to hear that everything worked out well and appreciate your kindness regarding the issues during your stay. We are very happy everyone enjoyed the property, it’s amenities, and the location. We are glad you were also able to experience the area, enjoying pancakes at the beach café, cruising around on the golf cart, and walking your dog along the causeway! We greatly appreciate your kind words and we would love to have you back again as a repeat guest and happy to apply the returning guest discount!
