Stunning Beach House!

The Once Upon a Beach team are attentive and responsive and ensure their top priority is to give guests an unforgettable vacation. This is our 2nd time staying in a Once Upon a Beach home. The were communicative during our check in process knowing we arrived early to the island and were able to accommodate an early check in for us. Which we greatly appreciated! Kokomo was a 4 min walk to the beach and a bike rides distance from both amazing ends of the island. Bridge Street and Pine Ave. The home is just perfectly decorated, was clean and had quality amenities. The beds and pillows were so comfy and soft too. Our family of 4 enjoyed the pool after a hot beach day and we just can't say enough good things about this home and the team and close location to the beach! Highly recommend!

Cutest Cottage !

We loved our 3-week stay on Anna Maria Island. Kokomo was a wonderful home base for exploring everything the island has to offer. The location was fantastic — just a short walk to the beach and an easy bike ride to the shops and restaurants on Pine Avenue. A special shout-out to North Shore Café for the best coffee and all-around great vibe. The bungalow was spotless when we arrived, and the adjustable beds were a fun surprise and very comfortable. The pool was always the perfect temperature, and we loved being able to cool off in the privacy of our own little backyard oasis. We also made great use of the front-yard BBQ and hammock, which added to the relaxed island feel. One tip for future guests: stop at Detwiler's in Bradenton on your way to the island. It may be the best grocery store we've ever visited, and it made stocking up for our stay easy and enjoyable. The team at Once Upon A Beach was excellent to deal with throughout our stay. They were easy to reach, responsive, and went out of their way to help me track down a package that had been delivered. We also highly recommend renting bikes. The rental credit included with the property covered the cost, and biking around the island ended up being one of our favourite parts of the trip. One thing to note is that the cottage is quite compact. It was perfect for the two of us, but our college-aged sons had originally planned to join us and we realized it would have felt a bit tight for four adults for an extended stay. Overall, Kokomo was a charming, comfortable, and well-located place to stay, and we would happily return. Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that Kokomo served as such a wonderful home base for your three-week island getaway. It sounds like you truly embraced the Anna Maria Island lifestyle, from relaxing by the pool and enjoying the hammock to exploring the island by bike and discovering local favorites like North Shore Café. We're especially happy to hear that the adjustable beds, private outdoor spaces, and included bike rental credit helped make your stay even more enjoyable. Thank you as well for your kind words about our team. It was our pleasure to assist during your stay, and we're glad we could help track down your package. Thank you again for choosing Once Upon A Beach. We'd love to welcome you back to Kokomo the next time you're ready for an island escape!

Charming little cottage!

A perfect little cottage just a block from the beach! It was super clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed, including beach chairs and umbrellas and a wagon to pull it all. The kitchen had every thing we needed for cooking meals. The little pool is big enough for adults to cool off in, and for the kids to play in. Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear the cottage was the perfect fit for your beach getaway. It's great to know you enjoyed the easy walk to the beach, the well stocked kitchen, and all the beach gear that helped make your days on the sand even more enjoyable. We're also glad the pool provided a fun spot for the kids and a refreshing place for the adults to unwind. We appreciate you choosing Once Upon A Beach and would love to host your family again on a future Anna Maria Island vacation! ☀️🏖️🌴🏡💙

The Perfect Beach House!

The house was very clean, and the home itself is calming and thoughtfully furnished. A Very Wonderful surprise was the split king adjustable bed in the first bedroom, a true game changer for people like me with back issues! I somehow hadn't realized that there were 2 separate, full bathrooms, another nice surprise. The beach is just a quick walk, and the home is in a nice residential area close to everything. There's a hangout space out front with Adirondack chairs, a hammock, and a BBQ with an extra propane tank in case it runs out (a nice touch!) It's private and shielded from the road with foliage; a great place to sit and chill. The back patio pool was plenty for our party of 4 to dip, play and cool off, and has both sunny and shaded areas. Lounge chairs and a dinette table for 4. We come to AMI twice a year and have stayed at many places… this will be my go-to from now on… 5 stars! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are thrilled to hear that the home exceeded your expectations and provided such a relaxing and comfortable stay. The split king adjustable bed has quickly become a guest favorite, and we're especially happy it helped make your vacation more enjoyable. It's wonderful to know you appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the property, from the private outdoor living spaces and pool area to the backup propane tank and convenient beach access. Our team works hard to create an experience that feels both comfortable and effortless, so hearing those details stood out means a great deal. As returning visitors to Anna Maria Island, your compliment that this will be your "go-to" home moving forward is truly the highest praise we could receive. Thank you for choosing Once Upon A Beach, and we can't wait to welcome you back for your next island getaway!
