Fanatic Beach Condo
5/5 Amazing place for a staycation. Friends and family visited often. The unit is completely updated, immaculate and has everything you need plus plenty of parking. We created unforgettable memories!!!
Quick family getaway
5/5 The property was lovely and accurately described. We had issues with the door lock but received quick responses. Easy golf cart ride to the beach and close to a lot of the restaurants and shops on the island. Enjoyed our stay!

A Little Piece of Paradise
5/5 PERFECT LOCATION! When needing some beach time, I would definitely recommend Anna Maria Island. This townhome was ideal. Just a short walk to a soft white sandy beach. We drove our rental car to unload items too bulky to carry. We drove back to unit and walked to beach for the day. We did find parking the last day however.
The townhome was as the pictures depicted by Evolve. It was clean and comfortable. Our contact person with Evolve was courteous and responsive with all questions upon arrival and with any questions we had during our stay.
It is situated on a main road which could make for a longer exit during peak season. We were within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. There is a trolly with a stop across the street that runs daily so there really is no need for a vehicle if you are able to walk. The kitchen is furnished well for home cooking. Publix will deliver groceries.
The screened in deck was a great place for private relaxation after a day at the beach. Bring your sunscreen during the summer as the sun is intense during that time.
CAN'T WAIT FOR A RETURN TRIP TO ANNA MARIA AND TO OUR NEW HOME AWAY FROM HOME, HOLMES BEACH RETREAT!
Great, clean place...needs a new bed!
4/5 The Good: very clean, beautiful space! Really enjoyed the screened-in porch. Within walking distance to beach. Plenty of parking. Quiet neighbors.
The Bad: 1 out of 3 ceiling fans worked, garbage disposal didn't work, 1 out of 2 tv remotes worked, bed was TIRED, and sheets were rough.
Would I stay here again? Yes, but needs some simple updates and repairs.
Worked perfectly for me
5/5 Great location, convenient to both ends of the island, well located on main street with a little road noise. Very clean upon arrival. Quick response for a couple of small concerns. I would definitely stay again. Older but updated throughout , walking distance to most things on the island and near trolley stops and the beach. I loved it!
