A great little property - perfect for a couple! This property was true to the listing, very clean and comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed a lot of time on the dock where we caught fish, and the walk to the beach was minutes - we enjoyed morning walks up to Bean Point and loved the proximity to Pine Avenue!
Wonderful loation!

The location was amazing! So close to the beach and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. We loved having the dock out back with kayaks. The setting was absolutely perfect! The interior of the unit met all of our needs. We would definitely stay there again!

Mangoes and Location! Location! Conveniently located to the most beautiful beach and the loveliest of shops on this side of the island. Plus the mangoes were an amazing surprise treat! The canal has jumping fish that make for peaceful entertainment when having coffee or a beer on the dock. Book this place you will not regret it but please save me a week next year because we will be back!

We were very fortunate to book the Snails Pace #4 thru Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals. Our stay on Anna Maria Island was made all the more special by this very nice property. The word cozy is often synonymous with small but not at the Snails Pace it truly was cozy. All the appliances worked perfectly. How nice it was to have a full size washer and dryer! The air conditioner was great as we could set it as we pleased. A very comfy bed was a pleasure to lie down on after a day at the beach. The canal and kayaks were in the back yard. The dock on the canal with table, umbrella and chairs was a pleasure to relax on in the evening. I could go on but suffice to say it was truly a great place to call home for a week.
Quaint little space

Well equipped and quaint little space. We have stayed at many rentals and this was the cleanest shower at any of our stays! The rest of the space was kept up as well and surprisingly not a single bug! The addition of kayaks was great and there was also all the equipment you need for the beach. The beach itself was a short 2-3 block walk and stores and shops were about twice that. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for two! Everything we needed was at our disposal. Nice quiet location very close to the Gulf. We walked to the Gulf in 3 minutes. Very clean and renovated. We both loved this place. Sits back off the road. Almost forgot to mention the canal and dock in the back yard. Situated within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. We would highly recommend this rental and are thinking of coming back this fall.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Anna Maria Island. Cozy little spot with everything we needed for a quick Beach vacation. Loved that the walk to the beach was so short, and we also enjoyed taking kayaks out on the canal. Would definitely stay at Snail’s Pace again.

Perfect little get away Snails Pace is the front half of a duplex. The back half faces the lagoon. Nice little yard area to walk the dog. Very quiet neighborhood, everything we needed was available even some fishing gear and a beech wagon. Kitchen is well stocked. Note the coffee maker takes those large cone filters. But there is also a bean grinder so you can bring your favorite and grind fresh.

I will keep coming back AGAIN & AGAIN! My 14 y/o son & I spent Easter week @ Snails Pace. This place is just perfect…extremely efficient, thought put into properties details interior & exterior. The canal steps away & the Gulf a few hundred. We used the kayaks daily & navigated to the Bay once. Then there is Henry…an amazing soul, who will assure you a comfortable & accommodating stay on his beautiful property

5/5 Coziest little place and so close to the beach We can’t say enough about this property. We loved it! It was spotless! And the walk to the beach was insanely close, 3 minutes give or take. Walking distance to Pine Avenue. The owner of the property was around a lot and he was so kind and helpful. We will definitely be back! It was the best place we’ve stayed at on the island. Hands down.

We stayed here in June 2023 for five nights. The cottage is perfect for a couple as there is only one queen bed. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything that you will need. Drip coffee maker, (no Keurig). It has excellent cold A/C. We streamed Netflix, didn’t use the cable. The cottage is an easy walk (one block) to the gulf with all of the beach things you will need including an umbrella, chairs, beach towels and beach wagon. We were able to bring our two dogs along which was a HUGE BONUS. They had plenty of grassy areas to use the restroom! This location is on the quiet North end of the island so not much traffic and is five blocks to Pine Ave where are the restaurants and shops are located. This is an easy walk! There are NO STAIRS to get to the cottage or inside the cottage so would be good for someone with those requirements. We would definitely recommend a Snails Pace and we would stay here again!

Perfect location Clean and updated- had everything we needed including a full size washer and dryer! Right on the canal, with comfortable seating in front and back so we could enjoy the outdoors. Nice and quiet. Just a couple minutes walk to the beach! Also a short walk to Pine St with shops & restaurants.

Nice! Best appointed property so far. Great washer and dryer as well as refrigerator. Great shower. Did lack a dishwasher. Well I guess it did have one: me. It actually was set up well to do the few dishes we used. And the dishes and utensils were quite good. Only a surprisingly short walk to the beach.

Wonderful stay We truly enjoyed Snail’s Pace. Anna Maria Island is a beautiful place and Snails Pace is perfectly located on the quiet north end of the island. The beach is simply beautiful with it’s white soft sand which feels like talcum powder. We were a short walk to the beach and many wonderful restaurants and shops. We appreciated and enjoyed the use of the beach cart and chairs that were provided by Henry (the owner) who was very nice and helpful in many ways. We also rented a golf cart from Fun and More Rentals and cannot express what a great company this is. We were able to explore the island without using our vehicle once. We plan to return to AMI in the future because of it’s beautiful white sandy beach, lovely restaurants and great accommodations. My husband enjoyed fishing from shore and from the Rod & Reel Pier. We met lovely people and overall had a great experience and vacation. Cannot wait to return!!
Our Sanibel replacement

We usually go to Sanibel Island every year for a week long stay just us as a couple. After Hurricane Ian, that's not going to happen for quite a while. So we made a quick reservation here. Snails Pace is a great location. On the north end of the Island, so I think it's a little quieter, which is what we like. But still quite a few restaurants to chose from. We LOVED Ginney and Jane E's for breakfast and lunch, so much so, we ordered lunch 'to go' to have for dinner later. We also liked Pizza Social, Slims and the City Pier. Most of it is within walking distance, if you don't mind walking. There are several rental places for golf carts, bikes, etc. if you want to instead of driving your car. Short walk to the beach, which is pristine. Beautiful white sand, hard packed in a sense. Unfortunately no shell's for the wife to hunt for (which Sanibel is known for). I was able to fish on shore, caught several types of fish, especially little Bonnet Head Sharks. Great sunsets to watch. The city pier is nearby for fishing. They have bait and rent fishing rods as well. (and beer). The unit itself is immaculately clean. Regular size stove top, with a double oven, one being convection. Full size fridge. Water was clean, seemed like city water. (We're native Floridians and can drive with all of our beach stuff including a water filter for drinking). Big TV in the living room, good sized one in the bedroom. A real cable box for all your normal channels and a DVD player. Kitchen was well stocked, no real big pots or skillets, but big enough for two people to make meals. Nice dish rack, toaster, regular coffee maker, microwave. A few left over staples were available, like Pam spray, salt, pepper, coffee, filters. Full size washer/dryer with several types of detergent available, and dryer sheets. There was a regular sized Weber gas grill that was clean and in good working order. (each unit has their own). Cooked a couple of good sirloins on it! The wood deck on the back was a great place to sit and read. I did fish several times on the deck. The first night I caught a nice sized Crevalle Jack, but after that, not much else. I tried multiple type of bait and lures. But still, we would just sit out there with a drink, waiting for sunset with a book or a crossword. You do have a typical patio table and 4 chairs with an umbrella just outside the front door if you want to eat dinner outside just for your use. There also is some beach stuff available for folks who fly in. A couple of beach chairs, beach towels to use, umbrellas, etc. and a wagon (similar to ours) to haul all of your stuff to the beach. There were two things we didn't like which made me give it a 4 star. 1. The bed is hard. I know some people like that, I'm not one of those, but my wife is, and she agreed it was a little on the hard side. And we didn't think it was an actual queen. Granted we have those Sleep Number beds that are basically two twins put together (King sized) and we adjust our "Sleep Number" to our individual liking, so we may be a "little" spoiled?!?! 2. The ceiling is open between the bedroom and the rest of the unit. So, if you're like me, and wake up before your partner and like to watch tv with coffee, it has to be quiet. Over all, the unit was well worth the price. Location, appliances, cleanliness, amenities well worth it. We didn't have any need to contact Anna Maria Rentals during our stay, but they provided great check in/out emails and we had no issues. One final thing, there is a Publix on the island just as you come over the bridge (Manatee Ave/Hwy 64). For those not from FL, Publix is the best supermarket in FL. It's a smaller version, but well stocked with anything you would need. Including the cheapest frozen bait.
