Wonderful Stay!
Thanks so much for a wonderful stay at the Oar House! There was plenty of room for our families and grandparents. The kids loved the bunk beds, swimming in the pool, life sized checkers, ping pong, hot tub and so much more! The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances, air fryer, cutting boards,…everything you could need. The walk in shower/ bathtub combo was so nice for the little kids. We loved the sitting area upstairs and the roof top deck. Large walk in closet fit a pack and play! The outdoor shower was perfect for sandy feet! The owners are so sweet and sent sweaters for our crew and even bought us pizza one night! The wagons and umbrella were helpful during the beach trips. Staying on Pine Ave is a great location close to shops, restaurants, and a general store. We walked both directions to the beach multiple times. A golf cart did come in handy with it being so hot. The house was beautifully decorated and had plenty of space and felt right at home! Kroger groceries and Amazon both delivered to the house. We also did Instacart Publix a couple of times. We had a great stay! Thanks for everything!!- Lindsey M from Bradenton, FL, Posted: 08/17/2023
Family Vacation
We spent a week at Oar House for our family vacation. It was perfect for all ages. The kitchen was well stocked to cook in. The living/dining/kitchen area was great for everyone to hang out and talk. The pool was amazing!! We swam in it every day after the beach. The beach equipment was above and beyond, Floats, chairs, tents, coolers! We had a magical time at OAR HOUSE!!!- Kerry M from Knoxville, TN, Posted: 07/23/2024
Best. House. Ever.
We had the most amazing stay at Oar House. Not only was the house lovely and easily accommodated our family of 12, including 3 kids, with king beds in all but one bedroom (which had bunks), and bathrooms connected to all rooms, but the hosts were so thoughtful. The house is very conveniently located, near ice cream, restaurants, shops and a quick golf cart ride or short walk to the public beach access. We will without a doubt stay here again.BEST. HOUSE. EVER.- Annie L from Gainesville, Posted: 06/21/2024
OAR House is AMAZING!
The OAR House was such a beautiful home! They thought of everything! The artwork and all the furnishings are the finest rate. The kitchen has absolutely everything including two coffee pots! We loved the tile in the showers and that every room has its own full bathroom! There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels. A trip to the beach is an easy few minutes walk, with not one, but two wagons to haul everything. They have tents, boogie boards. beach chairs, coolers, and toys for the kids! You don't really need to bring anything other than your swimsuit and sunscreen. We loved hanging out by the pool which is even bigger and nicer than it appears in the photos. We truly appreciate that there was plenty of shade in the pool area. Many of our group had fun with the putting green. The location of the OAR House was perfect. Easy walk to the beach, the pier, shops, and tons of restaurants. An amazing home for spending family time on vacation. Anna Maria Island is a wonderful island to visit!- Laura M from Saint Louis, Posted: 01/05/2023
Beautiful Home!
Truly an amazing home! We knew we were going to love it from the photos and I cannot believe I am saying this since the photos are beautiful, but the photos do NOT even halfway show how breathtaking this home is. Inside and out, down to every details, this place is undeniably the best vacation home we have ever been. When you first walk in you are greeted with two stair cases either to the main level or down to the sub level with access to the garage, game room, and outdoor area. Needless to say, I am from the Midwest and came from gloomy nasty weather, so I was in desperate need of some warm sun in the pool; so I instantly went down stairs and outside. Past the double doors you enter into the game room with a ping pong table dead center with glass door views of the outdoor area. The outdoor area was just… WOW. I probably could have remained out their my entire vacation! Perfectly sized pool with a spa attached. There were spots in the pool where you could layout in the sun and be in the water at the same time, which I have only seen these at all inclusive resorts out of the country. There is a full sized dining table, outdoor cushioned couch, layout chairs, a bar with seating, and a mounted Smart TV. They even have a little portable cooler so we did not have to make extra trips inside for refreshment refills. Oh and there is a little putting green which somehow we always ended up back to every evening. There are pool accessories in the garage that we brought out to the area which include rafts, floaties, and toys for the kiddos. Inside the home continued on this trend of impression. Once on the main level, a long hallway takes you to the common area with a dream kitchen, dining room, living room, and access to an outdoor patio. It is an open concept for very enjoyable and spacious gatherings. The kitchen has everything you can think of and more. It is fully stocked with every utensil, glassware, dishware, or any other type of kitchen piece needed you can think of. There is a half bathroom in the hallway and bedrooms on the main level with personal full bathrooms in each room. On the second level is an additional living area with more bedrooms with full bathrooms attached. All bedrooms have fully functioning smart TVs, are well decorated, clean, and quite cozy. Will mention how well ventilated and cool the rooms stayed even on the hottest day we were there. On the very top level are stairs taking you to the roof of the home with lots of seating. No matter which way you look you get to see Anna Maria Island as the scenic beauty it is. This is a nice little area we ventured to at the end of our evenings to sit, relax, and reflect on our day. We HIGHLY recommend The Oar House. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this home. We cannot wait to come back and bring more friends and family along with us to get to enjoy this house as much as we did!- Kristel C from St. Louis , Posted: 05/19/2022
Oh My God, my first reaction
I was privileged to have been invited to spend a long weekend at two places. The company of both groups have been dear friends of mine for years so regardless of where I decided to go I knew that good times were a given. The first was to Ft. Lauderdale. I had been there several years ago and had a very nice time. I stayed up way too late and slept in way too much. Lots of places to go and all of it had a glitz and glam to it that is so different than my normal live here in the Midwest. The second was to Anna Maria Island. A thirty five minute ride from Sarasota airport to an alleged sleepy town full of rich history and an general overall feeling of relaxation and calmness. At least that’s what I was told by some people I know who frequent there often. I chose Anna Maria. Without getting into too much detail… I will be happy to be the official spokesperson of this place for free. The scenery, the people the small shops restaurants and ice cream shops (my weakness) complimented the calm beautiful surroundings. If I was told that when I could vacation I could only go one place for now on? Anna Maria…no problem! I stayed at the Oar House. It’s a new home just built on Pine Island, right in the middle of all the places that you need to experience. It’s a modern day beach house that is a culmination off all the things you want in a new home. A gorgeous kitchen, fantastic bathrooms with the coolest tiling in the showers with everything spaced out in such a way that you were with your people but never felt as though you were on top of each other…if that makes sense at all. Yet although the house was something out of a magazine, it has an overwhelming feeling of relaxation that a vacation home brings. By far the best part of the home….the back yard and swimming pool. For starters, the back yard is framed out with palm trees that provide you with this overwhelming feeling of privacy and serenity, making you feel as though it’s a private resort. And the pool…its one of those pools made for socializing. A gorgeous hot tub along with a wading pool (the deepest part had to be five feet) that allowed you to either walk or float around to different gatherings and conversations. (I did my best to pretend that I was listening all the time but the bar has a TV that you can see from the pool and the PGA Championship was on..) I’m not a person that has ever really done things with great spontaneity, but I booked this house for a week in October the morning after our first day there. Don’t tell everyone..

Oar House is our new Oasis!
We just returned from a weeks stay at the Oar House over the 4th holiday and could not be MORE pleased with our choice. From the moment you walk in this stunning home you feel pampered. I read other reviews that said the photos do not do this house justice and I couldn't agree more! The luxurious great room with high ceilings and gourmet kitchen were the perfect gathering place for our two families. The kitchen is beautifully organized and has anything and everything you could possibly need to make a wonderful meal. And the pool area ......absolutely divine, so private that you will feel like you're at your own personal resort. The entire outdoor space is lush and the perfect place to unwind and cool off after a day of fun on the beach. Our high energy kiddos enjoyed the numerous games and putting green as well. The beach is just a short .25 mile walk from the house and Oar House provides everything you need to make for a great day, including 2 wagons, 8 nice beach chairs, cooler, tent, umbrella, noodles, floats, towels and more. The home was absolutely spotless and each bedroom has it's own bathroom and is decorated beautifully with high end bedding, comfortable beds and large smart TV's. It is also centrally located in the middle of Pine Avenue, close to numerous shops, the city pier and restaurants. We walked for donuts one day at the Donut Experiment, waffles at Waffle Press another day and for ice cream nearly every night at Dips which is only two doors up from the house. We also enjoyed dinner at the Waterfront and lunch at the Sandbar as well as Poppos Tacqueria, all are within a short walking distance and we highly recommend! Finally, I wanted to extend a special thanks to the owners who really made an impression. We received a lovely welcome call from Erin and she was so warm and helpful. We had only one small issue with the icemaker and she was on it. She immediately contacted AMILocals to fix the issue and had several bags of ice delivered to the house for our convenience. Our week at the Oar House was absolute bliss and we are already dreaming about the next time we can visit! If you are looking to visit Anna Maria Island and stay at a luxury, family friendly home in a safe area then look no further, Oar House is it!!- Gray P from Bluefield, Virginia, Posted: 07/10/2023
A Beautiful Home Away From Home!!
Our group of 11 was coming together over the week after the graduation of my niece. It was our first trip to Anna Maria island so we weren't sure what to expect of the area but had hopes that starting with a relaxing and comfortable home base would give us a chance to learn all about it. Oar House was the perfect home to serve this purpose for us! Is it perfect for your needs, that will depend on you. One small thing that we didn't know about the house was that the entry way and downstairs are only cooled by the air that comes from the main floor if you leave the door between those floors open. Because it was blazing hot the week we were there, leaving that open could affect the upstairs temperature on the second floor which we noticed almost immediately. We decided to keep the door closed and from then on the temperature of the 2nd and 3rd floors (sleeping and dining areas) stayed wonderfully cool inside even with extreme temperatures and humidity outside. Another item worth mentioning is the alarm to the pool area is set for a relatively short time so we heard it "a lot" until every individual could get used to pressing the button in time. But to be fair, these two "mentions" (because these aren't complaints) are common items to this area from what I was told. The first is common to multi-story homes and second to homes with pools. Lastly, when coming in from the beach having a place to wash the sand off on the ground level would have been a nice feature but you can work around it by using the hose off the deck of the second level but one person will still need to go in to turn the water on and off and potentially lower the hose if you don't leave it lowered. These are the only things that I could say I would have wanted to know if someone I knew had stayed here before me. Do you love the beach? Oar House is nicely located to walk to a couple if necessary but several easily gotten to in minutes by golf cart (we rented) or car. We tried 3 (Anna Maria, Holmes and Bean Point) as our preference is for the gulf side of the island. Being centrally located, as the Oar House is, opens up so many options for you as well for eating well. There are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance with options for all types of diners. The home itself simply makes you feel like relaxing is in order. Starting on the ground level, the garage is huge and spacious if you have things you need to store or chose to park inside (we did not for our purposes). I would perhaps be conscious of the height of what you pull into the garage as some of the raised golf carts they rent on the island are taller than your standard minivan/suv. They have beach chairs their but maybe not enough for your whole party (we were blown away they had them at all so a great find!!). Also, take advantage of the wagon if walking to the beach with your items, so awesome!!! Then you have the gaming room with ping pong table and multiple other activities you can do. We putted on the green out back, played cornhole and pulled out the water canons for fun family time!! The pool area, for me, was the masterpiece of the home!! Well manicured and maintained with trees that delivered the privacy we all sought even in the middle of everything. The covered area for those that wanted to relax, snack, drink in the shade or in the spa. Then there was the open area in the pool (raised deck area) or around it where you can always find full sun if you want it. A perfect location for every member of our group could always be found. One note, I do not recommend leaving any food in this area overnight if you have members who would do such. I always went to check and make sure the sliding glass doors were locked each night. Upon one of my nightly rounds I turned the lights on to reveal a member of the local florida wildlife outside looking for scraps I'm sure. We kept the area clean as it wasn't our tendency to eat out there so there was nothing for it to find thankfully. It was a possum (nothing exotic) if you were curious :-). On the second and third levels, the sleeping areas were tastefully decorated and provided with soft, comfortable bedding for sweet dreams and well rested bodies! All of the cooks of our group raved about how well stocked the kitchen was on the second level. No matter what we pulled out to cook, snack on, chop up or pop open we were never left without what we needed. Even when it came to washing your clothes or ironing a last second change of clothes Oar House has you covered. The owners of this property have clearly taken pride in it and in providing the home away from home experience for their guest!!! We hope you love it as much as we did!!!- Adrian S from Greer, Posted: 07/10/2022
50th Bday Gathering
The pictures don't show how nice this place really is!!! The wife and family were as excited about the property and surrounding small town shops....as they were to celebrate the occasion. This was a dream property with plenty of room for all. A relaxing backyard and ample parking if the garage is used. No need to bring any beach chairs or coolers. This place has it all! We will book this one again and again. FYI, the property next door at 423 is also a new replica! Book them both!!- Stan P from Orlando, Posted: 05/09/2022
fully rested and relaxed!
OMG! This place is AWESOME! great house in an even better community of like minded beach bums. The owners are clearly foodie's b/c the kitchen had everything you could ever want to prepare meals. the views are amazing and the private pool/hot tub is a slice of some serious good living. LOVE IT!- Sal B from Ballwin, MO, Posted: 12/30/2022
Amazing Holiday Weekend at the Oar House - AMI
We had a family group getting together on AMI for Memorial Day weekend. The Oar House was exactly as represented and just a beautiful property in a perfect location. The downstairs games and pool area was so much fun but in a tranquil setting at the same time. The Beach became optional for some! The bean bags, golf green, pool, spa and plenty of furniture to go with the TV and the ping pong table. Not to mention floats and other games for the pool. They also supply everything you need for an amazing day at the beach - chairs, towels and wagons. The rest of the house was just as stunning. The huge main room and gorgeous (and well applianced ) kitchen, 6 bedrooms all with TV's and private bathroom/showers. And don't forget the sunsets on the roof deck where you can see the Gulf and the Bay! Walking distance to the best pizza, ice cream, coffee, restaurants and donuts as well! This is THE place for an AMI gathering! We can't wait to go back to the Oar House!

Feels like home
This is one of my favorites.. The location is prime, Walking distance to all the beach shops, Ice cream store bike and golf cart rentals and if you forgot something there is the mini mart, The beaches and pier are within walking distance too. As soon as you open the front door to this gorgeous new home you will think you at a beachy resort but with the cozy comforts of being home. The huge kitchen and family room with patio welcomes entertainment. Plenty of space for lots of people to enjoy a home cooked dinner and an evening of games or relaxation. We spent lots of time in the pool and evenings enjoying wine gathers by the spa We didn’t have our kids with us as it was adult vacation but I look forward to going back again as they have a pool table, cornhole and games for the kids (Adults too) to play. The beds were very comfortable as well as the bedding. We all loved the fact too each couple had their own bathroom attached as it much easier for us all to get ready. If you love a good sunset there were 2 patios to enjoy the view, you don’t want to miss. There was nothing the owners left out, We felt as though family had invited us in and we know we will look forward to coming back.- Lanie C from Ft Myers FL, Posted: 06/30/2022
PERFECT LOCATION!!
Not sure where to start with this one! The house is located right on Pine Ave (thats the happening spot on that part of the island), walking distance to both the beach and Tampa Bay. The house itself is spacious with an open floor plan, very modernly decororated. The outside pool area has a lot of room. I love the partially covered area. Its so nice you can be in the pool but not directly in the hot sun! The bar and TV area were great to enterain outside. The bedrooms are large and have plently of drawers to put stuff away, so we didnt have to live out of our suitcases the whole week! I cant say enough great things about this house!- Sammy P from Denver, Posted: 04/25/2022

The Oar House is divine!
The Oar House is divine! You won’t be disappointed. The location is central to many shops, cafes and restaurants. Beds were super comfy and the house is stocked with everything you need for the beach. The outdoor space is amazing, but don’t forget your bug spray. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!- Jason F from Airbnb, Posted: 09/17/2022
