We had a wonderful stay at Rasa's place. The location was incredible; just a short walk to the pristine beach! The house was cleaned and updated with very comfortable beds. We loved using the back patio/pool. The available bikes were such a treat, as AMI is a very bike able area.Would highly recommend!

The location was really great! For a holiday weekend, it didn't feel overly crowded like it does when we've stayed more south. Our host was amazing! Excellent communication and very helpful! The condo was very cozy and clean! Highly recommend!

We loved staying here! The house had everything we needed including beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and bikes! We were able to easily get around to nearby restaurants without a car and loved the 5 minute walk to the beach.

Rasa provided terrific communication and we loved the accommodations and pool. The beach, including Bean Point, and Pine Ave. were only a quick bike ride away. This was the cleanest rental we have stayed in at Anna Maria Island. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved our trip to Anna Maria Island. We stayed in the Skimmer unit and it was clean, comfortable and cute. The washer and dryer, beach chairs, umbrellas and pool were an added bonus. The walk to the beach was a short delight. Bean Point beach is not crowded and it was simply beautiful. We loved eating at The Sandbar for dinner with a sunset. We hope to return one day.

Condo was perfect for us (2 adults 2 kids 10 & 7). Place was clean and very close to Bean Point beach (~5min walk). Rasa is a great host, answered all our questions timely, and accomidated some date changes we needed. Would stay again!

We loved the location just a few blocks away from Bean Point beach. The property was very comfortable and relaxing for our group of three. We also enjoyed the charming private deck area and heated pool. The house was gorgeous when all lit up in the evenings!

The listing seemed pretty accurate. It was a nice quiet stay just north of town, with an easy walk to the beach that took about 5 minutes. The place was great for our family of four, and the host was responsive. It was cooler temps when we were there but the pool was nice and warm which the kids took advantage of. There were folks staying in the upstairs unit but we barely noticed so it felt like we had the place to ourselves.

My daughter and I enjoyed this house. We stayed in the lower level. Loved having a large patio out the back with pool access. A porch in front to relax and enjoy the gardens. Bean Beach is a short walk. Shopping and dining close by. We will rent again next year!

We had a wonderful stay here! The house was perfect and included all of the beach amenities needed for a great day out in the sand. Location is secluded and nice. Raja was incredibly helpful with activity suggestions as we prepared to make the most out of our time on AMI with our two toddlers. The pool and deck area were also great for swimming and hanging out. Everything was very clean and the laundry facilities were also new and very nice! We will be back!

We have been to the island several times but our first stay here. The location was perfect. Quiet, easy stroll to the beach or bike to Pine Ave. The condo itself was very clean and private. Lots of outdoor space. Rasa was great to answer all of our questions and also helped with some specific requests. We will be back for sure!!

We had a great week at the Blue Dolphin. Our rental was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed our coffee on the front porch in the morning and a cocktail on the private deck in the afternoon! Rasa was a wonderful hostess, easy to communicate with and proactive about making sure we had everything we needed. The pool area was a bonus along with bikes and great beach equipment. We will be back!

We had a great stay at Unit A! The unit had all the essentials, it was clean, and comfortable. We loved it because it was so close to the beach, Bean Point Beach was magnificent! The pool was also great. Lots of toys for the pool and beach essentials that were great to have on hand. We practically had the pool to ourselves, which was nice. One of the reviews said that they couldn’t hear the people in the upstairs unit and that wasn’t true for us. Luckily they didn’t arrive until the last day and it didn’t affect our stay but we could definitely hear the family walking around upstairs. Rasa was great and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!!

My family (2 adults and 2 kids, 13 and 9) and I stayed for 6 nights. Check in was very simple, Very clean, probably the cleanest place we’ve ever rented! They provide bikes, a cart for the beach toys and chairs that are also available. The walk to the beach is maybe 5 minutes on a shaded path. The pool is small but perfect, it is shaded in the heat of the day and was a delightful place to hang out in the evenings. The host are very helpful if you need anything. We want to go back already!

I was looking for a single level rental with pool to bring my 90 year old father for a week. We had the best time and cannot say enough good things about this property. It was absolutely spotless, incredibly well appointed with everything you could want (beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.), and so comfortable. We loved having our own covered sitting area for coffee and private outdoor dining table for meals. Access to the lovely, heated pool was just off our back deck. Rasa, the host, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. She answered questions promptly, recommended a golf cart rental company and helped us with restaurant ideas. And you absolutely cannot beat the location - a short walk/golf cart ride to the beautiful beach and convenient to all the shops and restaurants on Pine Ave. Two blocks away is Rod and Reel - we went twice for the grouper!! Thanks for a great week!

We rented Unit A at the Blue Dolphin last minute during a very busy time on Anna Maria Island and we were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The photos do not do this charming little enclave justice! The unit itself was very clean with new linens and soft goods and a well stocked kitchen. The cold water knob in the shower was a little difficult to turn but honestly who can complain about an "old Florida" bathroom when you're in the midst of your casual beach vibe?! We brought our children's bikes with us as we weren't sure of the condition of the bikes on site and again were VERY pleasantly surprised to find brand new beach cruisers at the ready for our family bike rides for donuts at the Donut Experiment or morning smoothies at North Shore Cafe. As mentioned, the beach is a very short walk away with beach chairs and umbrellas and toys available for use. There is a washer/dryer on site, a heated pool, outdoor patio and everything you need for a lovely Anna Maria Island escape. We highly recommend renting from Rasa and staying at the Blue Dolphin!

We Loved our stay on AMI! It was our first visit to the island and we really didn't know much about AMI, and I wasn't really sure where to stay. Well, let me say, I did good on my blind knowledge selecting this home. I chose this home based on others reviews on the LOCATION and ammenities that were provided! and boy were they right. We were literally on the city Beach access path in less than a minutes walk. The owner is a very great host, and makes sure your stay has everything it needs. The bikes are Awesome as an added perk, we just needed to rent a kids bike for our 6 year old from down the street, but we all had bikes to ride which was awesome! also, the beach chairs and umbrellas provided were great, and made our beach time awesome. We also flew in from Texas so packed kind of light, and the owner provided the guests with a cooler. (We were so grateful to discover this!) great for packing a lunch, (or beverages) for the beach. The home was very clean and it was just the perfect accommodations for our family of four! I don't want to say book this you won't regret it, because the secret will be let out of the bag.... But.... Don't hesitate to book this sweet little "Old Florida" charming little cottage! it's quite the little gem! We will be back! Thanks Rasa for being such an amazing Host!

We visited with our two young daughters and found it to be the perfect location for us. Easily walkable to a beautiful beach at Bean Point and we loved the pool which we had all to ourselves. We took advantage of the grill and private fenced in porch. Rasa was super helpful with arranging drop of a rental crib and offered great restaurant recommendations. We hope to visit again in the future!
