POLICIES:
NO PETS. NO SMOKING.

Registered Guest must provide copy of ID, be at least 25 years of age and be present throughout entire stay.

Quiet Hours 10p-8a. You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Reservations are typically taken for 7 night Saturday-Saturday stays. However, we can offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins/check-outs during most of the year with exception to holidays and peak weeks unless city ordinances prohibit it. Always feel free to ask prior to booking to see if this is a possibility as we may not be able to accommodate changes after booking.

POOL & SPA (if any):
The pool is heated year round at no additional cost for the convenience and comfort of our guests. Pool temperatures are set between 82-85 degrees and will not be set higher due to keeping proper chemical balance, clarity, and cleanliness of the pools. Due to strict city noise ordinances pool heaters and filters do not run during the hours of 10p-8a. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures (>20 degree difference between water and air temperature) may result in pool heater unable to compensate the difference. We are not responsible for cold spells causing cooler pool temperatures or unexpected failure of equipment. Please note that a residential spa is a section of pool that once turned on provides relaxation, misting bubbles and warmer temperatures in the high 90s - low 100s but are not permitted to remain on 24/7 or will not reach temperatures like that of a commercial hot tub. Spas may not be operational during the months of June - September to avoid high temperatures of pool water which is detrimental to keeping proper pool chemical balances. Guests are required to read and abide by all posted rules, safety and operating information. Under no circumstance is any guest allowed to adjust pool equipment. Failure to abide may result in guests being fined or liable for any damages to equipment.

PROPERTY SECURITY/SAFETY:

Additional cleaning and laundry services are available by request mid-stay at additional charge. For stays of 28-days or more, a mid-stay clean will be required to be scheduled and paid by guest at additional cost.

These are professionally laundered at a commercial facility between each guest.  Please keep in mind extra sets are not kept in homes.

Perfect Paradise!
We had an absolutely amazing time! The home was perfect! The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped. The bedroom were all amazing! The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor space was absolutely stunning! We spent so much time in the pool and loved having a comfortable space for games and gathering together near the pool. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The location was fantastic, so close to the beach and great shops and restaurants. Truly one of our very best vacations! We can't wait to go back!

We have been coming to AMI for many years and AcquaLuxe is by far one of our favorite rentals. The house is beautiful and accommodated our family so well! Thank you for a home that provided us with a lot of Fun! We will be back!

We stayed at this beautiful home and had an amazing time. The highlight of our trip was taking out the kayaks and having manatees swim right by us. The pool was relaxing and the property is absolutely beautiful. We look forward to going back to the specific property next year

I had the opportunity to stay at AquaLuxe and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Location and amenities were top notch. This gorgeous property felt like I was home. As soon as you walk in you get a sophisticated hotel feel. Everything from spacious living , different outdoor lounge areas and stunning decor in each of the bedrooms and baths we truly felt like we each had our own special experience. We enjoyed the bar/pool area day and night and took a quick walk each day to catch the sunset. Anyone who stays here won’t be disappointed!

The house is as advertised with beach chairs and umbrella, beach cart, kayaks etc. Inside was clean, up to date, well stocked kitchen, plenty of areas to congregate with family. The pool area was perfect with pool table, hot tub, couches and TV. I’d love to keep this house a secret so we can have it available whenever we want but that’s not fair to the Rental and Management company of Once Upon A Beach. They promptly responded to all our inquiries. They deserve praise for providing a home that was a dream come true.

Hello, I am looking at renting a 4 bedroom home April 26 2025- May 3 2025 and was wondering about Aqua Lux. Does it have an area that you can launch kayak's from the canal? Also, I am wondering about the location of Aqua Lux and crossing Gulf Dr. Is it crossable now, (it was 9 years ago when I was at AMI) or is there a better 4 bedroom rental in your opinion? Thank you so much for your response, Leslie

Leslie B - Posted: 03/05/2024

Answer:

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for reaching out! We're excited to hear you're considering AcquaLuxe for your stay. I'm happy to let you know that you can absolutely launch a kayak right from the dock on the canal—it's a fantastic feature for enjoying the water.

As for crossing Gulf Dr., it is still crossable and remains a convenient option for accessing the beach. AcquaLuxe is in a great location, but we’d be happy to suggest other 4-bedroom rentals if you’re interested. Each has its own unique charm, and we can help you find the perfect fit for your stay.

Let us know if you have any more questions or need further assistance. We’re here to help!

If you kayak; are there sharks in the canals often?

Pam R - Posted: 06/08/2024

Answer:

Anna Maria Island's canals are typically safe for kayaking. While sharks do inhabit the waters around the island, they are generally not found in the canals frequently. It's always a good idea to stay informed about local wildlife and follow any safety guidelines provided by local authorities or kayaking tours.

When you walk in the front door into the ground floor; is that area air conditioned? I ask because I was wondering if I could set up a pack and play there while we are at the pool. My monitor would definitely reach that far while my baby naps.

Pam R - Posted: 08/23/2024

Answer:

Yes, the area you enter on the ground floor is air-conditioned. Setting up a pack and play there while you're at the pool should be a comfortable option, and your monitor should indeed reach that far, allowing you to keep an eye on your baby during nap time.

If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to ask!
