Mattresses, pillows, sheets, all good. Pocket doors close off hallways and keep noise down for sleeping. Appeared to be an older family home with lots of fun memories. Loved to find the family children's names, dates, ages, and heights marked on laundry room wall. Gracie, Abby and Alek must have had a great life on the island. However, some of the old furniture, bed spreads, drapes, and decor items are beyond life expectancy, dirty, broken, cluttered and need to be discarded. A few window cranks weren't operable. Give me $5000.00 and one (1) week to declutter and turn it into a fabulous 5 Star property! Adam Stayed Feb, 2024 Strongly Recommend the Crazy Mermaid! We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Crazy Mermaid on Anna Maria Island, booked through Sky Run Vacation Rentals, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped into this charming fun vacation home, we were greeted with a perfect blend of comfort, style, and entertainment. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the private pool, providing a delightful oasis for our family to unwind. The pool area was immaculately maintained, offering a serene atmosphere for both relaxation and play. It became our go-to spot to start off and end the day after of exploring. The property's strategic location on the canal was a dream come true, providing us with convenient access to a private dock. This feature allowed us to indulge in various water activities, creating a sense of adventure right at our doorstep. The proximity to the Pier and beaches was a game-changer for us, as it made exploring the beauty of Anna Maria Island effortlessly accessible. The Crazy Mermaid exudes a playful yet comfortable vibe, making it the ideal setting for a family getaway. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare delicious meals, cooked on the outside grille adding to the overall feeling of a home away from home. Sky Run Vacation Rentals proved to be a reliable and customer-focused experience during our stay. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a seamless experience greatly contributed to our satisfaction. The Crazy Mermaid property was exactly what our family was looking for – a perfect blend of fun, privacy, and proximity to all the island's treasures.It exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend this vacation rental for anyone seeking a fantastic getaway on Anna Maria Island. Five stars all the way! We will absolutely be back next year! Thomas Stayed Jan, 2024 Review Enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful location. Host's response: Thank you Thomas! Lisa Stayed Jan, 2024 Review House is as pictures indicate . Very clean . Great location Lisa Stayed Dec, 2023 Review We had a wonderful time as a family, in a comfortable place that reminded us of home. Justin Stayed Nov, 2023 Review Great stay! Awesome location and the boat dock was so convenient Host's response: Thank you Justin! Glad you enjoyed your stay, please come back to see us again! Victoria Stayed Oct, 2023 Review We absolutely loved this house! We are born and raised in bradenton but never really have the chance to hang out on the island much. So we decided to have a staycation here. The pool is heated and we were able to easily get our boat in and out on the channel. Even though we only had one car is PLENTY of parking space. The beds were super comfy and you can tell they really take pride in making sure your stay is nice. We had a few questions and when I asked they responded very quickly. We plan on renting this house again for sure! Host's response: Thank you so much Victoria! Very happy you had a great time and please reach back out before you rebook and well make sure youre taken care of. DAvid Stayed Oct, 2023 Review Excellent location Would stay again Host's response: Thank you David! Pleasure hosting you. Philip Stayed Sep, 2023 Review Excellent place to stay. Highly recommend. Host's response: Thank you Philip!! Angelica Stayed Sep, 2023 Review This house was PERFECT & so is the location 5 min drive to the beach/bars/restaurants/ & pier. 12/10 would recommend to stay here! Thank you so much Skyrun rentals for the perfect getaway for my family. Host's response: Thank you Angelica! We are so glad to hear that you had a great time and would love to see you come back any time!! Howard Stayed Jun, 2023 Review We had a wonderful stay. Host's response: Thanks for choosing skyrun, Howard! Whitney Stayed Jun, 2023 Review We had the best time and will return to this house again next year. It was perfect for our family Vacay!! Host's response: Thank you Whitney! We are very happy that you had a great stay, please reach back out to us at SkyRun next time you come! We'd love to have you back. Lindsey Stayed Jun, 2023 Review Loved our stay, looking forward to returning Host's response: Thank you Lindsey! Please come back and see us again. Joseph Stayed Jun, 2023 Review Enjoyed our stay. There is a large beautiful mango tree in backyard, and we saw dolphins from the dock. Location is walkable to beach, Ana Marie city pier and restaurants. Home has great character and met our needs. Host's response: Thank you for the kind words and glad you had a great stay. Come back to see us again! Rhonda G. Stayed May, 2023 Crazy Mermaid Roomy, needs more comfortable bed on main floor. Needs nicer sheets. Pillows . Yes, the door buzzed as everyone says to walk out to the screened porch. Not enough time to get out the door. My husband fell trying to get out & is all bruised up. Need grab bars in the shower. Luckily. I was able to reach him, so he could bring a math mat due to the tub being slippery. Sure wish they had bikes or kayaks we could have used. Nice pool. Loved the canal view. Quiet street. Wish the neighbors across canal had dimmers on their bright lights at night. I wanted a place with a pool, canal view, screened in porch and laundry this had all. It was only my husband & I. I don't understand why the rate Included almost double what we were charged per night for a cleaning fee and some other random fee. Pretty ridiculous. We only used 1 bedroom & 1 bath. I wish more places had closet up mirrors. Not as nice as photos made it look. But we enjoyed Anna Marie Island. Jake Stayed Apr, 2023 Review Had a great experience in our rental. The home was exactly as described and pictured. Close to lots of great restaurants and shopping while still being quiet and peaceful at night. Would definitely suggest staying here to anyone who asked! Host's response: Thank you Jake. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again in the future! Christopher Stayed Mar, 2023 Review Great location and great amenities Host's response: Thank you Christopher! Marina Stayed Mar, 2023 Great family rental Great spot for our family gathering and water fun. Had everything we needed. Ruben Stayed Feb, 2023 Great stay! Great stay at Crazy Mermaid in AMI. Great location on the island, good layout for multiple guests, heated pool, well stocked house! Working direct with SkyRun was MUCH better than working through a 3rd party booking site and I would suggest anyone to do the same. Excellent communication and price for this 'value' property (which we found to be nice for a rustic beach house!) Kelly Stayed Feb, 2023 Review Great hosts and I would book again. House is outdated, which you can see clearly in photos so it was no surprise. The pool was clean and warm, the screened in porch was perfect for lounging, and the space was perfect for two small families. One family with two kids stayed downstairs while another family with one child stayed upstairs (so we had our own space despite staying in the same house). We fished off of the dock, and saw many dolphins swimming in the canal. We were Walking distance to what turned into our favorite restaurant (The waterfront). The walk to the beach was a little less convenient, but not horrible. The hosts made this property very enjoyable, as they were very responsive and helpful in some special requests we had. Definitely recommend this host! Host's response: Kelly! Thank you for being a great guest. We loved hosting you and your party. We appreciate the kind and honest words - please reach back out as we'd love to host you again! Brian And Juli Stayed Jan, 2023 Review Fantastic stay for the whole family. Great location. Host's response: Thank you! Please come back and see us again! Tom Stayed Jan, 2023 Review Great location. House is outdated. Host's response: Thank you for your feedback, we will do our best to get some of the features updated. Danny Stayed Jan, 2023 Review The house is great. We reallyEnjoyed our stay. The pool was awesome and the dock was great. Location was awesome. Very close to all of the shops and restaurants. We lost power for a little bit, but that was because a transformer in the neighborhood went out. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay! Kim Stayed Dec, 2022 Review This is an older rental with older supplies and had a few missing items (dish towels, extra blankets), but was very functional and clean. Location and price were excellent, but manager is not close by so if something needed it can take a while. SkyRun did everything that they could, but we had the mishap of the furnace breaking while there. A new furnace was needed and could not be installed until after our visit. We received a 25% discount and were supplied with space heaters. We loved being close to the pier and not far from the beach. Very nice dock out back on the canal. Set up of house worked well for a group of 8. Joshua N. Stayed Dec, 2022 Anna Maria Pool heater broke so pool was cold. But host was very responsive and tried his best to do what he could on a weekend to get it addressed. House was very clean and in nice neighborhood. Host's response: We do apologize for that happening during your stay. It was very unfortunate timing on a Friday night and not being able to get the part until Monday morning. I know it doesn't help your stay, but it is already fixed. We appreciate the kind words about the management of the property and we hope you stay with us again. Thank you for being a great guest and look forward to your next trip to see us! David Stayed Nov, 2022 Review Very responsive. Beautiful location. Eclectic decor. Host's response: Thank you David. Great to have you. Taylor Stayed Nov, 2022 Review Wish the house came with beach chairs and bikes but overall a great place for a long weekend! Host's response: In the future let us know what you need because we have partnerships on the island that could have provided those items. Thanks. Dylan Stayed Oct, 2022 Great Stay We just returned from a 5 night stay. It was amazing! The house was great, we saw dolphins, manatee and a small shark off the dock while fishing in the mornings. Great location to the beaches and Anna Maria City Pier. Matt was amazing to work with, he went over the top to make sure we had everything we needed, we look forward to our next stay! Shehzad Stayed Oct, 2022 Review We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and great location. The canal was great for morning views. They communicated really well when we needed anything. I would come stay again. Host's response: Thank you Shehzad. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again! Please come back and see us anytime! John Stayed Sep, 2022 Review Great house, great location, great value! We had an awesome time & thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, pots/pans, anything you need to make a meal. The beds are comfortable. The pool & patio area is great! Close walk to the beach, the pier, shops. Only comment is that we had to purchase our own dish soap, garbage bags, paper towels, etc. to use during our stay. Not a huge deal but would have liked to know that upfront. Host's response: John, we are very glad you had a good time. I wish you would have told us about the lack of supplies prior to your review because we would have reimbursed you or brought it. Those are things that should have been in the house. We will be taking to our housekeepers because they should have notified us. Sorry for the inconvenience. Enrique Stayed Sep, 2022 Review I highly recommend this Airbnb we had a good time the house was nice , clean and neat everything organize very good communication with host Host's response: Thank you Enrique! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you have you back again! Tania Stayed Sep, 2022 Review Very nice house. The beach access that is to the house is a very nice beach. We had a great time. Host's response: Tania, glad you had a great time! Please come back again! Kaila S. Stayed Sep, 2022 Amazing! Our stay at Crazy Mermaid was fantastic! The house had plenty of space that fit all 8 of us more than comfortably. Beds were cozy and house was stocked with everything we needed- dishes, linens, etc. The pool, where we spent most of our time, was perfect. Property owners/management were accommodating and very easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend this property! Host's response: Thank you for the kind review Kaila. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time at the Crazy Mermaid and hope you host you again in the future! Nick Stayed Aug, 2022 Review The Crazy Mermaid House was the perfect place for a little getaway. Perfect communication and accommodations from Sky Run Rentals. The layout of the house was awesome. We had 4 couples staying and everyone was comfortable and had their own rooms. Great Place for the price. Availability Select your travel dates to view a detailed quote.
