Loved our stay. It was close to everything that we needed (beach, restaurants, shops, etc). We found ourselves spending most of the time at the rental which was amazing.

There’s something pretty special about a vacation home that makes you want to spend your days there, Jason! We’re glad Blue Marlin by AMI Locals gave you that feeling, while still putting the beach, restaurants, and shops close at hand. Having everything nearby makes exploring easy but having a home you genuinely enjoy coming back to is even better. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back to Blue Marlin for another relaxing island escape!
This is an awesome place to stay! So spacious and clean and the back yard is so much fun! Also an awesome location on the island!

Hi we are about to leave the house. What time will you be coming for the golf car? Or can we leave it here?

Blue Marlin was spotless, the beds were comfy, the pool/spa was perfect, and it is conveniently located to the best restaurants, shops, and beaches! It was the total package for our family of 7, ranging in ages from 18-67! We are already planning our return visit!!

Nothing makes us happier than hearing you're already planning your return trip, Tammie. Blue Marlin by AMI Locals has a way of bringing everyone together, and we're so glad it was the perfect fit for your family. From pool and spa time to exploring the nearby beaches, shops, and restaurants, it sounds like everyone from 18 to 67 found something to love. Clean, comfortable, and close to all the fun is exactly what a great island getaway should be. Thank you for spending your family vacation with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for round two!
Had a wonderful girls weekend at this amazing house. We each loved having our own bathroom and king size bed. The pool was perfect and we spent a ton of time outside. Can't wait to return!

Tara, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed the home, location, and backyard. We hope to welcome you back again sometime soon!
Great location two half blocks off of Pine Avenue. Layout of the house is perfect for a Florida pool home. The deck below the second level provides a great shaded area overlooking the pool and hot tub. Indoors the bedrooms are all very private, the bathrooms are large and the kitchen is huge. Highly recommend to any family or group that needs four large bedrooms and a relaxing entertainment area around the pool.

Jeff, thank you for your positive review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the great location, layout, and amenities of our property. It's wonderful to hear that the deck, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen met your needs, and we appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future!
Everything was as wonderful, as stated. My kids and grandkids had an amazing time. Property was perfect for the whole family. I didn't give it a 5 for check in due to the fact we couldn't get in, due to wifi issues. Property Management was quick to fix it, no problems after that. Will definitely return.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Tamara. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that our team was able to assist with any issues. You were terrific guests, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
We had an amazing time! The property location is perfect! Super close to everything. AMI Locals provided great referrals for grocery shoppers who delivered our groceries before we arrived, private chef who we hired for a dinner, golf carts that were delivered to the house, and pop up tent rentals for the beach. It was nice to relax and not have to worry about these things. They did provide us with a list of things not included so we could add to our grocery list. Only thing not listed was coffee filters just FYI. Only suggestion I have is for a larger group we could have used more coffee cups and more steak knives. All in all, it was amazing! The pool was perfect, plenty of towels for the pool, chairs, etc. We will definitely rent again!

Blue Marlin
The Blue Marlin was a nice home, and the outdoor space was wonderful. There were eight adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. These are the issues we encountered while staying in the house, poor water pressure, fridge icemaker not working, dishwasher needs to be replaced or fixed and kitchen stove issues. AMI brought us ice to resolve the ice problem and were very helpful when we called. The items had to have manufacturer service, so nothing was fixed while we were there. It's not much fun having to wash dishes on vacation. I would ask if these items have been repaired or replaced before booking.
AMI host team was beyond excellent, the service provided was also super. I will be renting and recommending to all my family and friends.

Photos very accurate. Lots of space Beds comfortable.
Used golf cart to get around island and beaches. Close to all the wonderful AMI restaurants. Only critique is that the kitchen could use an upgrade in pots and pans.
Staying at the Blue Marlin was a wonderful experience! The home was beautiful and well kept. Anna Maria Island is a little piece of paradise! So many beautiful memories made! We definitely want to visit again and so enjoyed our accommodations!
Beautiful home and very clean! My family of 8 just returned from a wonderful vacation at this house! Very spacious rooms, super comfortable beds and plenty of towels (bath and pool)! Fully stocked kitchen with lots of extras. The pool and spa area was our favorite place to hang out! There are stairs to the main level and again to second level, but not an issue for us at all. Short walk to the beach!! We loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

Thank you Timothy for choosing to escape to paradise at the Blue Marlin property! The pool and outdoor space is one of our fave places to relax. We look forward to your return as you were fantastic guests!
Brand new property, the location is perfect to walk to the beach or pier. Pool is great to have for family fun. Overall house was clean and well appointed. The only improvement would be for the house to have better cookware.

Graham, thank you for your past stay with us here on the island. We are happy to hear your beach getaway was full of family fun. You were wonderful guests and we hope to have the pleasure of your family again.
Beautiful beach house! Perfect weather, beach was amazing.
Our family fully enjoyed this vacation. Very comfortable, house was as described. Everyone commented on the comfortable beds, We spent many afternoons in the pool after a day at the beach. Perfect house for family fun. We will definitely return.
We had a very good week, and the accommodations were more than sufficient! We were a bit surprised that they were absolutely no items in the kitchen such as salt and pepper but we left our basic spices and hope they will give the next guest some pleasure in their meals. The staff from AMI were very responsive and assisted us with anything we needed.
New House Two Blocks from Pine- Great for Families
New house in an excellent location two blocks from restaurants and shops on Pine. House is exactly like the pictures. House was awesome except air in master does not work effectively and property manager will only allow thermostat to 71. Master is very hot. Kitchen could also use more essentials such as Tupperware. Beach items very limited. Otherwise a great house.
