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!

About the host

Hosted by Rex Geissler

Host profile image
Growing up in Florida, my wife enjoyed the best of the beaches. It was always a special time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with family and friends. Michele had heard about the beaches south of Tampa where she grew up but did not experience them until we went to Nokomis Beach and Casey Key. We fell in love with the area. And since my husband is from Colorado and we live on a mountain property named Quartz Mountain Ranch, the island beaches give us an incredible contrast to the mountains.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Cortez Beach 65 steps away along with Gulf + Sarasota Bay water views + $150,000 pool + Bridge Street 3 blocks away make the best location. The fishing jetty is fabulous.
