We had a wonderful stay! Clear instructions getting in and out- easy to find. Lots of close restaurants and shops and close to the beach. We rented a golf cart which made it much easier getting around- they provided tons of info for the island! The bedrooms were as described- however the double bunk room is pretty tight and the mattresses are very thin. No other complaints or issues from the other bedrooms or areas of the house.
Cheyenne - Posted: 4/26/2026
Sounds like you had a fun island stay, Cheyenne! We’re glad Whispering Whale Retreat by Anna Maria Vacations was easy to find and close to all the restaurants, shops, and beach spots that make AMI so special. Love that the golf cart helped you explore the island as it’s one of the best ways to get around! We also appreciate the helpful feedback about the bunk room setup and mattresses, and we’ll be sure to share that with our team. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to have you back for another getaway!

Easy to access, clean and very comfortable home. The pool was a great bonus. My only feedback is to add outdoor lighting by the pool so it can be used after sunset. Great stay!

Great stay for 8 yr old to 85 year old
Hard to summarize: great space for just. Hanging out , enjoying nice meals in the cozy nook, watch tv (ROKU),the pool was nice and warm and everyone really enjoyed it and the shaded area was super nice. So close to everything down on Pine (the main hub with restaurants and sand beaches at either end of the short street ). location is the best and the house is so nicely appointed with everything anyone would want to cook and relax. plenty of towels for pool and daily use...nice linens. ***You really need to make sure that you have large numerals for the house incase someone comes in late! ***AND even more importantly: lights on on the house and inside if someone is coming in late at night!! A big negative for me coming in from the airport driving in a strange neighborhood with no lights at 9:30 and a very dark night! Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location, spacious interior and exterior lounge options. The only entrance has a long flight of stairs to the 2nd story. Not recommended for elderly or impaired, if climbing the stairs every entrance and exit is an issue. Responsive guest services. Walking distance to the pier and plenty of shops, restaurants, and pristine beaches make this a gem.

Great island experience
This place was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. We were 4 adults and 2 kids and it was a great experience for all. Only complaint was the communication for checking from property management. Reached out at 12 to follow up on if we can have an earlier checkin. Was told the room was finishing up from being cleaned and we would be notified when it is. Never heard anything from them after that and at 430 had to call from the property to find out how to be let on because we had still not received the final information. Outside of that the experience was great and I would strongly recommend this property

Great stay
We were happy to find this place so last minute. The house was clean, roomy and met all our needs. The location was close to the pier and all the small shops on Pine. We rented bikes around the corner because most of the bikes from the house had flat tires (no pump). A few other things we wish the house came with were coffee filters, laundry detergent and better hand soap but all these things were available for purchase at the local shop on Pine.

Great retreat for a family of five
We loved the house, it was so clean and well kept. The only downside was the pool was dirty and the pool area not well kept up. We did, however, have a wonderful week!
Marnie W. - Posted: 4/10/2021
Marnie, thank you for the five-star review of Whispering Whale Retreat. We are happy that you enjoyed your time with us here on the island and apologize for the pool area. You visited during a time of some unseasonal storms and we had a small EF-1 tornado that caused some damage but mostly just made a mess of landscape. It took the companies a while to get everything caught up and back to normal after that storm, so we apologize if the pool and pool area needed attention. We were doing our best to get everything back to 100%. We hope that you will come back and visit us soon!

Whispering Whale
We very much enjoyed our stay at Whispering Whale and have already reserved the house for next year. The only suggestions we would have for this property is to have access to the garage and since the main entrance and exit is at the rear of this raised living area house there is no escape route in the event of a fire from the master bedroom which is situated at the front of the house. We would suggest that this should be addressed by making a portable window escape ladder available.

Perfect getaway!
It was a great property! Awesome location! Quiet neighborhood and close to the beach off Spring Ave! The house did need some tile fixed in the hallway and rail addressed at deck stairs, but other than that it was good! Thank you!

A beautiful house in the perfect location
We really enjoyed our recent stay on Anna Maria Island in the Whispering Whale retreat. The house is decorated in a perfectly beachy way. Everything, including the kitchen and bathrooms were very high end. The location is wonderful, as we could easily walk to either side of the island and visit the beaches. Close to great restaurants and shops. Perfect for 2 families of 4 (plus extra room beyond that!). Our only suggestion would be to improve the stock items in the kitchen. Kitchen could benefit from tea towels to dry dishes, a 9x13 pan, sponge to wash dishes, garbage bags, and other small items, like cooking oil, basic spices, plastic wrap, and ziplock bags. We made do, but if we had known in advance that these items were not there, we would have brought them ourselves. Overall, highly recommend the house and would definitely rent again.
