Beach Paradise

Stayed for a week in AMI and wanted a place that was clean, updated, and close to the beach. This place was absolutely perfect for two people, and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. King bed is very comfortable, and one of the best features was the beach chairs/umbrella/and cart in the storage unit for use every day! Will definitely be checking to see if Unit A is available next time we come to AMI!

Lovely Stay

This is a lovely property on a lovely Island. It was small but perfect in every way for just the two of us. Great location, really near the beach and perfect for the free island trolly stops. Christy was really nice to deal with.

Great place to stay

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderful! Super clean unit and the pool was very clean as well. Very short walk to beach. We had no reason to need to contact the host, however they did reach out to after our first night to check in and see if we needed anything. All around great experience!

Live like an Islander

This was perfect in every way. Up to date, immaculate, every convenience and perfectly located. We enjoyed all the island had to offer and a beautiful pool when we had wrapped up our time at the various beaches each day. The trolley stop is right out front and the beach is straight ahead about 2 blocks. Perfection!

Our 7 nights here was good. Very pretty decorated. Great for 2 people that’s it. 10 min walk to the beach. Beach towels and beach chairs available if needed. Shower, water pressure sucked! You want to be able to take a good shower, especially from being all day in the beach with all the sand on you. Also, if you want to have visitors they do not allow visitors on the premises (FYI) Other than that was a good stay.

remodeled du plex

The newly remodeled du plex was great for our stay on Anna Maria. It had everything that we needed The King bed was very comfortable. It was a few blocks walk to beautiful Holmes beach on the Gulf. The duplex was just off a busier road, but there was a sound machine provided with wave sounds or white noise and we slept very soundly.. Michael and Christine were super helpful hosts

AMI bungalow

Enjoyed everything about our stay except the road noise. I had read about it and we used sound machine on our phone to help drown out. Wonder if better windows would help??Host was receptive to suggestions I made for hooks/ towel rack in bathroom. Also could use foldable drying rack for swim suits/laundry.

Up to date and well furnished

First off, Christy was great to deal with, responded very quickly to any questions. The unit is very clean and well furnished, comfortable bed. Centrally located about a mile north of Publix grocery store and within walking distance of beach, shops and restaurants. Use the crosswalk for getting across the busy Main Street! Would stay here again next time I visit Anna Maria.

As Promised

This property was just as described. Newly remodeled, very clean, efficient and very nice hosts. We had one issue with the tv and they called us back in less than a minute to help us. The heated pool and spa were very relaxing and also exactly as pictured. We do agree with one other review, that the only drawback is that the bedroom is in the front of the unit and you could hear the traffic. But we brought earplugs and that did help. Also the location was great. The free trolley was right outside on the corner and we were within walking distance to restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again and already recommended it to our friends.

Lovely stay

Seaside unit A is as a lovely renovated apartment with all the amenities. Road traffic was loud as the bedroom is closest to the street in this unit. We got used to this after a couple of nights though. I highly recommend staying here. It was centrally located on the island and a 5 min walk to the beach.

Great experience

Christy was super responsive with any questions and when I requested a few extra things she immediately sent them over. The house was spotless and the owners definitely took a lot of pride in putting it together. Bed was super comfortable and mattress was new. Same with couches and the pull out mattress! The only downside was the busy road that was in front of the property. You can hear traffic at night and I wasn’t super comfortable crossing it to go to the beach with my three kids and a wagon of beach gear. With kids and a wagon the walk is more like ten minutes and waiting to get across the busy road. We ended up driving most of the time and the parking was hit or miss by the beach. We also thought we wouldn’t need pool access bc I’m a total ocean person, but it would have been nice to have for some downtime in the evening. The good definitely outweighed the bad though, would totally stay there again! Would have been fine if not for having younger children to walk to the beach with.

Anna Maria island escape

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property. The unit was exactly as the pictures showed on line. Extremely clean and everything was brand new. The owners were VERY responsive to our needs which were virtually non existent! the location was perfect! Close to everything and the beach was a very short 5 minute walk. And boy was the beach gorgeous! Very private and stunning sunsets. Do not hesitate to book this stunner! Thank you Christy, Mike, Rick and Bella! My only complaint was that my month long stay here went by way too fast!😊

Great get away!

Property was newly renovated, clean, and quaint! Great location as far as proximity to beach and restaurants and shops. Publix and CVS only a minute or two away. Easy check in and check out. We didn’t have any issues and Christine checked in with us multiple times to see that we had everything we needed. She was very responsive. Beach towels and chairs, blow dryer, pots and pans - everything we needed. AMI was great! Only critique: Noise from traffic on Gulf Dr. was noticeable, even into the night. Gulf Dr. was very busy. Didn’t really bother us but just a note. Thanks for a great stay!!! We loved our Christmas/New Years get away!
