Rented a beach front vacation home on Anna Maria for April of 2021. 2 hours before we were to check in Duncan Real Estate staff called us and said that the home was not available. A Classic IMO "Bait and switch" situation. And if you look at their reviews from past rentals, it was NOT the 1st time they had done this to a customer. They offered a very low rent home in exchange and indicted to us, that our rental would be free because of their screw up. Their staff, a woman with a British accent, told us it would be free. She indicated it would be free 2-3 times. We in turn found a similar home,

Our family had a unique situation that required us to find a rental in a few hours of arriving unexpectedly. The Duncan Team was very accommodating, responsive and helpful. The process and service was very simple. Our rental was very clean and had everything we needed. Will be utilizing Duncan again for our next visit to AMI.

This is our second year visiting AMI. Our 1st Summer we booked through Airbnb. Once we found out that Duncan Real Estate managed the property, we booked through this this Summer. Our experience was much more person than with Airbnb. Duncan's customer service is excellent, and their staff is very informative and friendly. I highly recommend Duncan for vacation rentals in AMI.

We had a GREAT vacation at Marmalade Mermaid! The house was so cute, so much more than the pictures! The walk to the beach was so quick and easy. The bathroom in the smaller bedroom needs attention but wasn't a deal breaker. The swim spa was a nice addition but we are beach people!
Ducan Realty was awesome to work with. I contacted them a few times to get ideas about the island because it was our first visit there and my baby had an 18th bday during our vacation. They were always quick to respond with helpful information. Our family would for sure stay in Marmalade Mermaid and rent from Team

We just returned from a wonderful vacation on Anna Maria Island. We rented Island Gem B on Magnolia street from Duncan Real Estate, and were very happy with the whole process. Sybille was very helpful and responsive thru the whole process. When we arrived there was a nice welcome package with lot of information about the island. The place was very clean and need, linens and supplies were perfect.
The pool was a great added feature for the days we didn't go to the beach. The backyard grill was great for cooking the fish we caught on our charter trip. We could not be happier with the vacation and
