Family Tides was perfect for our group of 23. The location is great. We were just a short walk to the beautiful beach, grocery store, and shopping. The pool area is fantastic! Lots of room to hangout. Plenty of seating. The grills are also a plus! It was nice to have a hot tub for the early mornings and evenings. The house itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The large room off the pool area was nice for us to gather at. The garage was stocked with beach accessories-wagon, chairs, umbrellas and more. The host was great to work with. We absolutely would recommend this property. Our stay was very enjoyable!

Great spot for big family gathering

Great location close to beach and stores, our group of teenagers enjoyed having their own space and everyone loved the pool. The space is huge, having different kitchens worked out well and everything was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend.

Family Vacation

Great property, great location with close beach access. The plants around the pool could have been trimmed back to allow more access to the chairs and the grills were not in good shape. The overall layout was perfect giving everyone their own space or the ability to gather together in the large common areas.

Large family vacation

Stayed with 12 children and 14 adults and the place was the perfect size for our group! Everything was great and very accommodating to families with small children. Very close walk to the beach. Great pool! The large multipurpose room could really use a dishwasher especially for groups that like to cook and eat together! Make sure kids wear shoes on the stairs/deck or they will get slivers.otherwise no issues! We had a wonderful time!

Family Beach Trip

The property was everything we expected and more. Our extended family makes an annual trip to the beach. This was the first time we have been to Anna Maria Island in many years. The close proximity to restaurants and shopping were a huge plus. Having a private pool was so enjoyable as well as the short walk to the beach which we made at least twice each day. The large gathering areas made family times extra special. We look forward to staying here again.

Amazing house for a group!

This house was a wonderful set up for multiple families vacationing together! It had everything we needed and was a great location. So close to the beach and grocery stores! It was probably one of the best stocked homes any of us have ever stayed at as far as kitchen items, toiletries, beach items and extras. The hosts were amazing and incredibly responsive! They promptly answered all our questions and gave great recommendations for the area. All the families agreed it was the perfect set up and we would definitely stay here again!

Family get-away

It was perfect. We were 14 people! With this property we could all gather together but we also had separate spaces when it was best to be apart! It was walkable but also close to access the public busses. We had a small problem when we arrived and the owner handled it right away! We'll go there again!

Beautiful and spacious property!

We loved staying here. The area is great and so many things within walking distance - beach, grocery store, restaurants, and shops. We did take the free Trolley and the Monkey Bus to explore the area further- both were easy to hop on. We had plenty of space in this rental. Happy that there was a rec room area where we could all gather together to play games, etc. The property manager was very responsive throughout our process which was much appreciated! Thank you and we love Family Tides!

Great property.

This is a perfect place for big families who need separate space. Each unit is accommodating, spacious, and inviting. The pool, hot tub, lower gathering room, and quick walk to beach with wagon and toys was a huge plus! The only reason for three stars for cleanliness was because our socks were dirty from the floor and washing machines could be cleaned from dirt, but I am a neat freak so it probably wouldn't bother others. It's a huge place to keep clean so it's understandable and the cleaning lady we met was a gem and so sweet! There was immediate response if there was a question. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

Big family vacation 2023

Perfect for large family gatherings! This property had something for everyone; especially the individual units for each family. From first making contact with owner to book the desired week to the day of checkout, my experience was super easy and stress free. Owner staff is friendly, professional and responds quickly. The property is clean, modern, well stocked to meet every need, fun, has amazing pool and the location is perfect for beach time and shopping. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with all 19 members of our extended family. We couldn’t have found a more perfect location to lodge 4 individual families. The only thing that would have made it more special would have been a welcome gift from the host; otherwise, it was perfect!

I spent a week here with my family and friends to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space, even though we all spent a lot of time in the rec room playing games and partying. The house is so convenient to the beach, trolley, grocery store, restaurants. The golf cart is great amenity with this house. There were a couple of hiccups, but nothing that was going to ruin the fun. I felt like there should have been a better supply of toilet paper and paper towels, so that we wouldn’t have had to ask for more or go buy it. I recommend having some kind of cleaning spray or solution for wiping down counters and tables. We had to go buy some because wiping down with dish soap and water just doesn’t do the job. The floors didn’t seem like they had been cleaned good in awhile, my granddaughters feet were black the first day from the floor in her suite. It advertised bikes that were not there. It is definitely stocked with enough beach chairs and toys for the entire group. My granddaughter loved the little play area that was a new addition I was told. I am also not sure if it was the time of year that we there, but the pool doesn’t get any sun until the afternoon. We laid out in the sun on the roof and the porch until we were able to use the pool lounge chairs. All in all it was a great week and I would recommend this property and would probably book again if I had big group visiting the area.

Best Beach House For a Big Family!

My family of 14 stayed here from October 8th - the 12th! It was amazing and I would absolutely recommend. We have rented a lot of houses in Florida but never for this many people so I was concerned about too much togetherness. There is so much space for everyone to have their privacy and plenty of places to all be together. The room on the ground level was perfect for all gathering together, with foosball plenty of seating for everyone, a separate refrigerator and a separate ice machine made filling coolers for the beach a breeze. It is about a 2 minute walk to the beach which was sooo amazing!!! The garage has everything you need. So many chairs ( enough for all 14 of us ) and the beach wagon to haul everything was a life saver! Toys for kids, a corn hole set, plenty of balls for the pool which we used so much, a paddle board, a surf board and so much more! Another bonus is that there are so many beach towels for all to use! All units are decorated beautifully and everything is so clean. We spent alot of time in the heated pool also, which has a basket ball hoop that my teenage boys could not get enough of. I can no say enough good things about this property. Sorry if it sounds like I'm rambling but if I could give 10 stars I would. We will definatly be back.

This was our second family reunion at Family Tides. Having four separate suites for living quarters is a novel solution for a family gathering of 22 people. One great feature of the family room on the ground floor is the incredibly large gathering table. It was perfect for our large meals and group games. When one was out of the game, they just hung out at the tv lounge. Don't forget to check out the Crow's Nest! There are stairs in the back that lead to the roof top view with Adirondack chairs. Having 5 full refrigerators is a luxury that we took full advantage of to store ice and extras. The proximity to Publix is an unmatched perk, as well.Parking was abundant in the front and side of Family Tides. I believe there is room for at least 10 cars, plus the golf cart. Our issues during our stay were taken care of quickly. The wifi was not working, and with one call, I was able to reset it myself. One of the bathroom sink drains was stuck, and someone fixed it that day. Communication was quick and easy with Beach Life Rentals. Things to consider bringing: An extra tent for the lanai is handy to be able to enjoy the pool edge in the shade. An extra fan could be helpful in the children's bunk room, as it seems to get a little stuffy.Proximity to the beach is about as close as you can get without actually being on the beach. Such a short walk! Thanks for another great vacation Family Tides.

Great for all ages. Easy walk to beachFamily reunion: Spent hours in the pool. Plenty of many chairs and chaise lounges. Littles loved the on-site play area. Parents appreciated the fences around both the play area and grounds, so littles couldn’t “escape”, LOL. EVERYTHING was provided: ample kitchen supplies, beach towels – which we could wash with the on-site laundry. Had everything needed for the beach: sand toys, plenty of chairs, and a wagon to transport them. Beach is so close, just cross the street and walk through a short path. Televisions throughout, including in common areas. WE LOVED this home!!
