Great Home

Every room has a wonderful beach decor. The location is fantastic. The house is very well equipped with everything you will need for your beach vacation. The beds are extremely comfy (not many rentals can boast about that!). Plenty of towels for our large family! Great to have a washer and dryer on site too! We will be back if it is available! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect in every way!

The online pictures, while totally accurate, didn’t do the property justice! Our family of five (parents and young adult kids) loved our time in paradise. This rental has everything… kitchen utensils, plenty of towels, beach chairs, etc. Owners were responsive and easy to work with. My husband said this was one of, if not THE, best places we’ve ever rented. The setting (view of sea oats and the beach) was fabulous. Now if the weather had been just 10 degrees warmer… :-)

Dreams at AMI came true!

This house far exceeded our expectations! The beach is amazing, the house is well kept and absolutely beautiful! The owners are accommodating and clearly care about their guests. The house is well stocked. Did I mention the beach? It is so close and absolutely better than any we've been to in Florida and in the Caribbean! Turquoise blue water, white sand, shells - it was perfect! We loved the screened in porch in the back and the balcony off two of the bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Publix is nearby for groceries and there are great restaurants and shops close by. This was an all around wonderful experience and we cannot wait to return!

About the host

Retired and enjoying life!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this beach property as our second home when our kids were small. We live closeby so its a convenient get-away. We usually live in it for several months of the year, as well as use it to accommodate family and friends. We love the small town feel of Anna Maria island and look forward to sharing it with you.

What makes this property unique

We love the "old Florida" feel of the ground level home (not on stilts) which allows us to walk right out the door onto the beach. Our yard is one of the few shady yards in the area which allows us to lounge or play games in the shade while still enjoying the views and cool breezes.
