Great location and lots of room for all

This house was in a great location and had plenty of room to suit everybody that was with. The beach was only two blocks away and plenty of bars and shops were within walking distance, along with having the trolley only a few hundred feet away. Jim was great at communicating the whole time and the house has plenty of accommodations. There were a couple things with the house that were showing wear and tear but it’s expected with a rental, and Jim was very aware and attentive to those issues. Would definitely stay again!

Great location

The location was great, we could walk to the beach and it was a short drive to the store. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there were NO extra amenities at all. I have stayed at multiple rentals and they all included everyday spices, oils, garbage bags, soaps, TP, etc. Also, we stayed for a week and the only “dressers” were small nightstands with a couple drawers. So we still lived out of the suitcase for a week.

Our party of 12 had a great time on AMI. House has beautiful décor and is pretty well stocked. Could use some plastic storage containers. Would be great if there were shelves in closets to put your clothes on since no room for dressers. Kept clothes in suit case, not a big deal! Couple minor issues. Can't say enough about Jim the owner, took care of all the minor issues very quickly. Would highly recommend staying here, great location and a very great place to visit.

Sunset Landing AMI is true love

We did not want for anything during our week long stay. The kitchen is fully stocked and more and the stand up showers were incredible (lots of hot water too). Laundry in the house was key with 3 children. The location was perfect. SO close to the beach, near the Island Trolley stops and in the middle of the island. The house is on a busy road but we never noticed it unless we went out front to leave. Groceries, liquor, and pharmacy around the corner were also an asset. The pool area was amazing with ample toys, chairs and towels. I highly recommend this home. One note would be there are a lot of stairs - keep in mind if you’re booking with littles or older folks which may find them difficult. 5 Star service supported by the host who was easy to contact and quick to reply!

Great location but needs a deep clean and maintenance.

The house has a great set up, as well as a perfect location, that being said the house is in need of a major deep clean and maintenance. Walls were beat up, doors were filthy, walls need painting. Our feet were black after walking across the floor and a rag was also black after washing the kitchen table. For the amount of money I would expect a spotless home. Jim, the host was very easy to deal with, and was very responsive, but needs to maintain the property better.

Great Place for Great Memories!

Nice accommodations for a family of 8 adults, 2 kids and 2 infants. We all enjoyed our own king size beds, and bathroom's for each family. Located within a couple blocks of the beach. It was a chilly week but still had plenty to do. We still enjoyed the beach; played in the sand, fished, and shell hunted. Favorite restaurant was the Freckled Finn, an Irish Pub! Went inland and played mini golf at the Smugglers Cove. The Robinson and Neal preserves were really neat. The kids loved the Bishop Science Museum where we saw a few Manatees. Thanks Jim for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us. Much appreciated!

We loved the house. It accommodated all 9 of us very well with everyone have personal space as well as together space. Kitchen was well stocked to fit all of our needs. We loved the pool. Since it was a little cooler when we went we paid extra for a warmer pool which was great and well worth it. Close walk to the beach which we did several times each day.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Magnus

Host profile image
Our family purchased the Sunset Landing Beach House in March 2017 because we fell in love with Anna Maria Island! We gave the house some fresh updates and we look forward to creating memories along with you in this beautiful home in paradise! We gave the poolside covered lanai a luxurious update with tongue and groove ceilings, some new, high-end lounge chairs and a wicker dining table set that seats 8! Plenty of seating by the pool. The landscape was also given a fresh makeover. We continue to stay on top of maintenance and upkeep so the house maintains its 5 star appeal. Come stay with us and you'll surely want to come back. We're committed to doing everything we can to make your stay very enjoyable in our home and we know that you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Anna Maria Island has everything we were looking for in a perfect vacation retreat. The beaches are the best that we've ever been to with the quartz white sand that doesn't get hot and the beautiful Gulf sunsets. The temperature on AMI is perfect all year long and the Gulf doesn't get too cold either. It's easy to get to AMI from multiple different airports or as a short drive for Florida residents looking for an escape to the Gulf Coast.

The location of this beach house couldn't be better. It's in a beautiful, beachside neighborhood, but yet you can park your car and walk or take the free trolley everywhere. It's 2 blocks from the beach, 4 blocks from shops and great dining in Holmes Beach, 6 blocks from the Manatee Public Beach, and about a mile from Publix, CVS and the Manatee Ave Bridge to get to the mainland.

The beach house itself is PERFECT for gathering multiple friends and families to create wonderful vacation memories. With 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it sleeps 12 and there's plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax comfortably. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful, private tropical pool and lanai and all of the fun games that the home has to offer!

Welcome to paradise at Sunset Landing AMI! RELAX...you're on island time!

What makes this property unique

Past guests have commented how they love the coastal décor and the wonderful amenities of home in the kitchen that help them enjoy this home away from home. Kids and adults alike all enjoy the pool, real video arcade game, foosball table, bikes, and wide assortment of beach toys and beach carts to carry them to and from the beach. They all LOVE the location and its close proximity to the beach and restaurants. You'll find your favorite places to dine on fresh seafood or any other preference within walking distance. So park the car and relax all week.
