A Slice of Paradise Found at Songbird

honeymooners from CT (Meriden, Ct, USA)
Review submitted: September 21, 2011   Date of arrival: September 12, 2011

Arrived at Songbird A on a Monday morning. Although the entire street was being dug up for new water/sewer lines, we found the place clean, pleasant and inviting. Once inside we could not hear or smell the work being done. The decor is light and airy, which echos the Anna Maria Island atmosphere. Almost everything we needed was available. Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, and a handy garden wagon to haul it all to the beach. Easy access to everything on the island, either by car or by free trolley (air conditioned). We never got lost!! The owner greeted us with a phone call to make sure we found everything to our liking. Songbird is a great place. We were calling it "home" by the 3rd day there. The island is spectacular. This visit was our honeymoon and only one week long (short); the next will be longer and soon. I would rather keep it a secret, but we just have to tell. If you are looking for a relaxing, beautiful, warm, breezy, and natural place to vacation....... this is it !!! Inside Songbird AND out on the island. Paridise Found !!

Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: The street work was a surprise but it will improve the rain water drainage and is over the end of September.

We try hard to exceed your expectations.

A stay as lovely as a song bird

Review submitted: September 9, 2011   Date of arrival: August 27, 2011

Recently my wonderful lady and I had a chance to stay at one of the properties called SongbirdA. Awaiting us was an amazing experience. Arrival and check in was easy without confusion or hassle. The unit was clean and fully stocked we were left wanting nothing. The unit had recently been fitted with air-conditioning which made the stay that much more enjoyable. Had it not been there are ceiling fans in all the major rooms as well. The two bedrooms are spacious with plenty of closet space. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances and utensils necessary. All linens and household items were provided and easily accessible. Not to mention the use of the bikes were a great way to see the island and enjoy the day. For those couch potatoes or evening snugglers the tv and entertainment center was great with enough sitting room for a large group of people. Songbird is a great place to stay and the owners are helpful and available to answer any questions or deal with any problems though we had none. This is definitely a place we plan on coming back to.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: We work to keep the place clean and comfortable at a reasonable rate.

There are now 6 bikes and they give you an opportunity to explore the island.

Our goal is to have guests want to return.

Sorry to be tardy in writing,songbird was very clean,neat and comfortable,all we had to buy was the food everything was there from the dishes to the pots and even dish washing detergent did I mention there is a washer and dryer and a ice maker which we loved. The neighborhood was very quiet there were times I thought we were the only ones there,Mr Joel provided us with all the information needed everything was accurate and he even send a list of places and things to do which were very helpful.The beach was a crystal clear jade color and the sand was white we saw dolphins right off the shore while we were swimming almost every time we went to the beach now how awesome is that,the sunset is breathtaking did I mention that the water was always warm. We were here for a month so we went everywhere my favorites were Siesta key beach on sundays there is a sunset drum show it starts at 6PM its very nice, Caspersen beach if you like looking for shark teeth,jungle gardens,smugglers cove,ringling museum in sarasota on thursday after 5PM its half price to get in,rod n reel great food and beautiful sunset,coquinta beach has beautiful seashells we even found a seadollar,my sons favorite was the mote aquarium and tour,there's to many to mention but we had tons of fun everyone was so friendly and helpful,my favorite places to eat was eat here the food and service was unbelievable and danny's pizzeria had the best pizza I had in a long time it brought me back to my homeland NYC.Well all I could say is that I will return and recommend this home away from home to my friends and family it truly is a Paradise thank you Mr Joel.

Recommended for: families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: My goal has been to provide a clean and comfortable place at an affordable price. And to be responsive to issues that can arise.

This guest stayed for 4 weeks and left it as clean as they found it. As my cleaning person said "I hope they come again". Me too.

Thank you.

Mr. Joel
