Our original AMI home is much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators.

Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.

Great place to stay!
Location was perfect to everything we needed. We rented the upstairs and friends rented the lower level. We all loved the pool area and how close we were to the beach and Bridge Street. Highly recommended renting with friends or large families!

Location was awesome!
This is the third year our family stayed in Anna Maria. We chose this home because of the location and amenities. It truly is steps from the beach or the bay and we were able to walk everywhere including Bridge Street for shopping and restaurants. We only got on the free bus once to visit the North end of the island - check out the Sandbar Restaurant if you go! Sunsets and sunrises all week long and the pool and hot tub were perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. Rex was a great host! Five stars plus one!

Great location to beach and bay, beautiful pool, lots to do
The location is excellent, so close to the beach and steps from access to the bay. We were able to take advantage of the calm waters of the bay while kayaking and paddle boarding. Then some nice walks and bike rides to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed a nice and relaxing time while here. The pool is a shared space with other tenants/renters in the home, but it all worked out nicely.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and quiet and the A/C worked great. Comfortable bed in master BR. The pool and area around it was great too, very well done. The description says the unit has three bedrooms, but when you scroll down it counts the living room as a bedroom because it’s got a sleeper sofa, so it’s really a two bedroom place. Not a dealbreaker, but that should be corrected on the website. One of the kayaks (the brighter orange one) took on water at the stern that I found out the hard way once I was in the bay. Got back to shore safely, but it was a little disappointing. Lots of beach chairs and accessories to choose from, but the umbrella pole auger had two broken handles (cheap plastic) and it was a chore to get it into the ground to secure the only useful umbrella there (blue canvas one). The washing machine leaked a lot of water all over the floor when we attempted to use it (again, not a dealbreaker) and when I reported it, Rex responded to my text immediately. Overall a great location, great experience and I would recommend it.
