Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family vacation! Across the street from the beach… with a pool! Clean, plenty of space for everyone to relax, and a large private deck. All of the amenities you’d expect at a larger resort (and more) with all of the comforts of a private home! 10/10! Thank you!

We loved our stay on Anna Maria Island. Alan was an excellent host and very friendly and responsive when I had a question. The rental was perfect for us and directly across from the beach. Alan had several restaurant recommendations, all of which were excellent. The trolley stop is right on the corner, very convenient. Would definitely come back!

Clean, comfortable and well stocked apartment across the street from a great beach and walking/biking trail. While the traffic is very heavy during the afternoons this place is walkable to restaurants. Overall a great location!

Great location for a spring break getaway! We were 2 blocks from the beach and could easily walk there each day. Parking at the beaches can be tricky, so we were so grateful to have the ability to walk. We had beach towels, umbrellas, boogie boards and some sand toys to use too which was great with kids. We were grateful for all the linens and towels inside too. Having access to laundry was helpful after days out and about. Our kids enjoyed a pool too. We had one issue with microwave and Alan called us immediately and was able to resolve the issue. We love Anna Maria and had such a wonderful experience with our kids. We will definitely be back!

Perfection. It was clean. He offered an early check in. This is a great place to stay. It could not of been easier to walk directly across the street to the beach. The condo had everything you could need. Bonus: plenty of bath towels!!!!

Alan and Donna were amazing. They were very accommodating and flexible. Most importantly they are extremely kind. We are so glad we booked with them and met them. We will definitely be back with our family. The house is located across from the public beach and you can access everything you need all around you. We brought our bikes and biked the entire island multiple times. Donna and Alan were always willing to provide suggestions and it was always nice seeing them and chatting. The pool and wrap around deck was an added bonus. Our daughter loved laying out by the pool and deck. We even ate dinner a few nights on the deck as it had a table, umbrella and chairs. Thank you both for everything. We will be back!

The location to the beach is great! The beds were extremely comfortable and it was great to have a pool to come back to. A couple of things we missed – there are no games or books in the unit. Also, there were no spices (no salt, pepper or sugar even!), no can koozies, little things like that. We flew in so we did not want to buy all those things and not be able to take them with us. We did end up buying a couple of decks of cards, but it’s always nice to have a variety of games available.

Great location. Central to everything, especially the surrounding beaches. You’re a short drive to Coquina Beach, Cortez beach, and all the beaches in Anna Maria, but you can also just walk across the street to Manatee beach if you don’t mind the more populated scene. We’ll worth it!

This was our first time visiting Anna Maria Island and this location was perfect! The Manatee Beach was right across the street so easy access for beach days or the beautiful sunsets. We would highly recommend renting a golf cart for your vacation as such a fun way to travel to all parts of the island, easier parking and such a beach vibe. Many positives for renting Castnetter: Easy access into the unit, everything we needed was available, hosts were responsive and extremely accommodating, location, pool availability, etc. We would definitely stay here again if visit Anna Maria Island!!

The location was great! Right across from Manatee Beach and within walking distance of Publix, restaurants, and shopping. Also there was regular Trolly pick up at the beach. Layout of the place was nice and clean. A big plus was the clean outside deck and pool with nice lounge furniture. It was the highlight as we were there for the sun! The bed linens were soft. I would definitely book again. A bit pricey though.

Alan and Donna are excellent Hosts. Nothing is to much trouble. We loved the property and it lacks nothing. A few steps across Gulf Drive to the beach and Publix a walk away. Can’t recommend this property enough. We will definitely come back.

Really enjoyed Alan’s house for our family vacation. Location is perfect. Across the street from the beach and near the supermarket. Very central location on the island. Alan provides all the necessary amenities you may need for a relaxing day on the beach plus a fantastic outdoor shower on your return. If you feel like cooling off without leaving the house then the pool offers that opportunity as well. Rooms are very comfortable and plenty of space. The deck is large and very comfortable. Loved the island and definitely recommend Alan’s place if you are considering a visit to Anna Maria

Alan’s place was awesome!! Convenient to Manatee Beach but it was really crowded. We enjoyed riding the golf cart to 46th street and parking there where it was less crowded. The duplex is super nice. Alan has thought if everything when it comes to the kitchen. He provides plenty of nice bath and beach towels. It has a great deck to have coffee in the morning as this side is shaded in the morning. The beds are really comfy. If you stay in the master, do yourself a favor and take a shower in the hall shower- IT IS AMAZING!! The pool was lovely to come in for a swim after the day on the beach. There is a nice grill for cooking poolside. The laundry area is nice and stays locked with your code. The shared space wasn’t bad at all- we loved our neighbors. It’s super quiet in there inside and you can’t hear the family beside you. The umbrellas provided were very nice- Tommy Bahama. I was glad we brought our own chairs as the ones provided are more like ball field chairs. We loved this place and would definitely not hesitate to stay there again!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Castnetter beach resort 5. It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The beach proximity was great and the condo was centrally located. The kids enjoyed the pool when we weren’t in the Gulf. They especially loved the comfortable beds. This was our first visit to AMI and we hope to visit again soon!!

My family of 4 stayed in Castnetter 5. It was perfectly sized for me, my wife & 2 young kids. The location is very convenient to Manatee Beach, literally right across the street. Having a beach umbrella, chairs, and a cart to haul it all was perfect! On-site laundry room was also very convenient. After a long day at the beach, there’s an outdoor shower to cleanup & a nice little pool to cool down & relax. The outdoor gas grill was well kept / clean / equipped with cooking utensils. Alan is an amazing host, who was very responsive & attentive. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.

It was clean and had everything we needed for quick meal preps with a smaller crockpot, blender, toaster, coffee maker and kuerig, microwave, dishwasher and stove/oven. All kitchen essentials were there also! The location is great as we could walk to the beach using chairs, umbrellas, beach towels And a cart with wheels! It was awesome!!! Grocery store (PUBLIX) and Dollar Tree( great place to get small sizes of things) close by as well! Nice pool area and friendly neighbors. Loved our stay!! A+++

We had a fantastic week at the Castnetter 5! Nicely updated unit- had everything we needed to make it a great vacation! Deck was nice for hanging out, pool was small but perfect for a break from the beach. Beach towels, carts, chairs- everything you need to make it a fun beach day. Location was perfect- right across the street from the Manatee beach- where all the action a bunch of teens could want happens! A five minute bike ride from the Publix, Skinny’s hamburger place a two minute walk and a trolley stop across the street! We would definitely book Alan’s place again!!

We had a delightful week at Castnetter! It helped that the weather was fabulous, so we could just walk across the road to the beach. Grocery stores were nearby and the kitchen was well-equipped (plus we used the charcoal grills at the park) so we didn’t need to eat out at all, although we did get takeout pizza once. It was a great escape during the pandemic – easy to enjoy being together as a family and avoid the rest of the world! We’ll have to come back and try out the social scene when it’s safe to do so.

This is a terrific property! Right across from the public beach, which is ideal during season when traffic can be horrible getting on and off the island. It is also walking distance to some great restaurants, to Publix, and to the beach shops. That said, it’s still very quiet and enough off the road from the road that you have privacy on the patio and at the pool. The property was also extremely clean and clearly very well maintained. We were comfortable from the moment we walked in the door with all the amenities we needed, within the condo and on the grounds (beach chairs, umbrella, carts, laundry, grill, pool supplies, etc). Donna and Alan were lovely; very responsive and helpful with any questions or issues that needed resolution (minor toilet repair). Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will for sure be back to AMI and this perfect little condo for 4!

The location of #10 was excellent, a very short walk to the beach, Publix right around the block, and a variety of restaurants within a couple of short miles. The unit itself was very clean and comfortable, with the pool right outside our door. We will definitely be back!

It is in the BEST location on the island, it’s sparkling clean, comfortable bed, tons of space for storage/room, and the owners are helpful and kind. It is a 2 minute walk from the beach + the free trolley on island, so you can get anywhere with ease. 10/10 suggest! ❤️

Alan’s Castnetter’s Beach Resort is the perfect place to stay on the island. It is close to everything, clean, and with great amenities. I did not have a car on the island and didn’t need one. The Manatee Beach, Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe, and trolly stops are across the street. This trolley is free and runs the entire length of the island. Publix grocery store, CVS, and Skinny’s Place (bar with great burgers) are all just a block away. Alan and Donna are great hosts and always willing to help in any way. I highly recommend Castnetter’s Beach Resort. It is the perfect place to stay on Anna Maria Island.

Very clean, well maintained and stocked. Easily accessible (bike/walking/trolley) if you don’t want to drive. Everything you need for a day, a week or a month — stay in and cook (all utensils, etc. you need) or go to the beach across the street (beach toys/carts, umbrellas etc.) You can’t go wrong with this place.

The spot was amazing, really. It was cozy and full of thoughtful touches including paper plates and plastic silverware for convenience. It had laundry detergent, dish soap, a sponge and everything you could need, extra trashbags too. It was also a nice little spot that was extremely comfortable for my girlfriend and I, with the beach being right across the street, a nice secluded pool and a Publix and CVS less than 2 minutes away. Even if you crave a fast food restaurant most placrs can be found within 20 minutes. It was genuinely worth every penny.
