As you may have heard, Hurricane Helene has seriously impacted Anna Maria Island.
Our office sustained major damage so we are not available for phone calls for the foreseeable future. We are displaced and working remotely, but it has its challenges and we can only field so many messages at a time.
❗If you are a guest arriving in 2025, please DO NOT contact us by text or email at this time.❗
🚩 At this time, we are not accepting reservations for arrival at any property before November 1, 2024. If we have received word of a later restoration ETA for any homes, we have disabled bookings through that date. This is an ongoing process and calendars will be updated regularly.
🚩 Late last night, the City of Holmes Beach (1 of 3 cities on AMI) issued a 45-day moratorium on short-term vacation rentals. **This may be rescinded at any time** depending on restoration efforts.
It’s too early to tell if the moratorium will run through the 45 days or be rescinded in advance.
PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT TO US YET if you are arriving during that period. We are catching up and will begin addressing this development as soon as we can.
🚩 We are also continuing the process of contacting those whose rental home status we are sure of. *Please wait for us to reach out to you.*
❗If you are already due a refund, please be patient.❗ Refunds are being processed as quickly as possible, but the sheer volume will take some time to get through. The processor is also backed up. We are doing our best and thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.
✨ There are many moving pieces, but we are working through them slowly but surely while continuing assessment, cleanup, and restoration efforts.
As ever, to all those who have already demonstrated immense patience and understanding, THANK YOU! It means more than you know.
We will rebuild and hope to welcome everyone back to the Island sooner than later. ❤️
