Island Girl (East & West) were very nice and meet our needs completely. The pool was fantastic. The setting among the palm trees was private and relaxing. The house itself was comfortable, spacious, clean and very enjoyable. Proximity to the brach was great. A short walk down the block lead straight to the beach access. Being pet friendly was a game changer for us. We have a special needs pet that we could not leave with someone else, so being able to bring him was tremendous.

Our stay at Island girl east and west was perfect! Couldn’t beat the location on this beautiful island. We have been coming to the island for 30 years and this was one of our favorite times and places to stay. The house has everything you need or could want. There’s plenty of room if you have a large party, we had seven. I just can’t say enough about how clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up the two houses are. I would highly recommend and stay there again.

Family Vacation
I have a family of eight, and we vacation in Florida all the time. This location was absolutely amazing. It really was the best of everything. It is close to shops and to the beach as well as dining. It's really centrally located to all that the island has to offer. The unit itself is just amazing, and we all absolutely love the setup. You have both private space and spaces for family gatherings for activities and meals. The outdoor landscaping is absolutely beautiful and it reminded us of Hawaii where we're from. It has just enough room to make the units feel large but not distant from each other. If my family and I ever returned to Anna Maria Island, this will definitely be the place we decide to stay.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your family of eight had such a wonderful experience and that the home exceeded your expectations. It means so much to know that the layout, location, and tropical landscaping brought both comfort and a touch of "home" to your stay—especially with the comparison to beautiful Hawaii!
We're so glad the space offered the perfect balance for both gathering and privacy, and that you were able to enjoy all the best of what Anna Maria Island has to offer just steps away. It would be our absolute pleasure to welcome you back anytime. Thank you again for choosing Once Upon A Beach—we'll be here whenever you're ready to return!

Island Girl is an Old Girl
Island Girl East/West is located in Holmes Beach two blocks from the Gulf. It is 5 houses from Gulf Drive, then another short walk up 1 block to the beach. A golf cart or other means of transportation is recommended to quickly get around that area of the island. This house needs some good general maintenance, The stair boards are wobbly on the West side, there is an area on the front porch of the East side that is rotting and we were afraid someone would go through, the pool heater did not work until the pool maintenance person manually turned it on. The electrical must have taken a hit during the hurricanes as there was black duck tape holding a cover together on the outside. There is no water pressure in the master bath on the west side and the washer did not work on the East side. We feel that if this house was well maintained, it would be a prime rental but in the state that it is currently in, I cannot give it more than three stars. It should also be noted that all of the main living areas are on the second floor so when utilizing the pool area, we were constantly running up and down stairs to get drinks, snacks, stuff to grill, etc.... I would recommend setting up an outdoor pool bar area with a mini fridge and some counter space. We would love to see the property given a little TLC then I think it would be a perfect rental for adults and older children due to the stairs. Once Upon a Beach Vacation Rentals was a pleasure to deal with and addressed all concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're so glad to hear that you found our team at Once Upon A Beach pleasant to work with and that we were able to address your concerns during your stay.
We truly appreciate your honest observations regarding the property. While Island Girl East & West offers a fantastic location and layout for many guests, we agree that ongoing maintenance is key to ensuring the best experience possible. We’ve already begun addressing the areas you mentioned, including the porch, stair boards, and mechanical systems, and will be working with our maintenance team and the owners to ensure these issues are fully resolved.
Your suggestion for a poolside bar area is a great idea—we always value insights that can enhance our guest experience, especially for families and groups spending time outdoors.
We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future and give us the opportunity to provide a stay that more closely aligns with the high standards we strive for. Thank you again for helping us improve! 🌴
