Beautiful!
We really loved our stay at Sand Castle. The home was clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable week away. We loved that the beach was so close and loved the cooled temperature of the pool. We met one of the owners, Jim, who was there doing repairs while we were there and he was so welcoming and friendly. ~ Anonymous

Wonderful Week in Paradise
My family of 5 had a magical vacation this past week. We stayed at Sea Turtle and it was just fantastic! A week of life long memories were made. The accommodations were great. My kids especially liked the hammock. My favorite was the little porch off the family room as well as the porch off the kitchen so we could eat dinner outside each night. VERY short walk to the beach = great location. All in all - it was an A+ experience. ~ Rachel

Great place to stay .
My daughter and I spent a week at Mi Happy Place / Sea Horse . The unit was very clean , well kept and looked as is did in the website . It was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach ,which was very convenient. The pool was also great ! We would definitely stay here again! It wasn't our first visit to Anna Maria Island and it definitely won't be our last. ~ Carmen

Amazing!!
This was our families first trip back to MI Happy Place since the 2024 hurricanes - WOW! So many updates and improvements to what was already our favorite place on the island. We rent all four villas and just LOVE the property, the location, and how close it is to the beach. A+ to the owners on making a great place even better! ~ Chris

FAMILY VACATION TO AMI
We were an extended family of 15 adults, so we rented all 4 villas. Having the property to ourselves gave us a lot of flexibility to gather as a group, or to spend time alone. Because it was hot, the pool was our favorite place, and we really appreciated all the seating around the pool. Being able to just walk across the street to swim and play volleyball at the beach was just an added bonus. Everything we needed (groceries, restaurants, shops, recreation) was nearby. We definitely look forward to a return trip and highly recommend to others! You just can't beat the location of MI Happy Place! ~ Julie C.
