The moment you walk in you’re welcomed by such a beautiful view. We enjoyed our 7 day stay so much. The location is tucked back and hidden and it feels like your own little oasis!
Our host Amy was extremely responsive, personable and helpful. The location of our house was quiet and peaceful. We were within easy walking distance to the beach. The heated pool was lovely and well maintained. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Being up at the north end of the island is special. It was the oerfect place to be.
Couldn’t have been happier - beautiful home and location!
Amy was a wonderful host and communication was great. We loved being walking distance to the beach and also loved the backyard/canal access! we had everything we needed in the house and would definitely book again!
The house is was very clean and cute. The location is fabulous! Short walk to the beach, shops and a few restaurants. If you’re a Morning person, the sunrise view of the canal was stunning! There is an osprey nest in a tall tree a couple of houses away and we enjoyed watching the birds fishing and circling above. The beaches were very clean and not too busy on the north end of the island. Amy was very responsive when we had an issue that needed seeing to. Communication was top notch. There are still a lot of homes on the island with construction projects due to hurricane damage but nothing too close to the house. We could hear power tools occasionally from work being done a couple of blocks away.
Incredible place for a peaceful get away! Spacious home with everything you could need. The pool was fantastic as well as the view of the canal. The use of the 2 kayaks was awesome. Easy walk to beach, restaurants and shops Highly recommend this property
I wish I could give this more than five stars honestly, the place the house the setting, the tranquility, the amenities everything were above and beyond of what I could’ve expected it was an amazing vacation for myself and my family, and we look forward to going back again in the future
The island is beautiful, the property is well-maintained and clean. The view is lovely. The house/kitchen is well-equipped. Amy, the owner was attentive, friendly and helpful. The blue heron came to visit and hung out by the canal several times. What a treat! Great vacation! Definitely recommend and would love to return in the future.
Morning, noon and night there are things to appreciate here. Walkable, easy ways to beaches, privacy and serenity. You will wish there were more hours in the day.
Great spot on Anna Maria! Right on the canal. Kayak’s available for use and we saw Manatee in the canal 4 days of our visit. Beautiful pool, house was clean and the kitchen had everything you need. Amy was responsive and easy to work with! We hope to visit again.
Simple, one story, clean, bright, well kept, close to town, beaches, and the bay side. The views from the pool/patio are better than most other houses we've seen. And we had a manatee visitor right to the dock. Can't say enough good things about the house, Amy, and the whole experience.
Amy was a wonderful host and great to work with when I had questions. The entire process was easy. The location was great. We all enjoyed our stay. Compared to other VRBO stays we have had over the last 8 years the kitchen was very minimally stocked for cooking at the house. It didn’t ruin our vacation at all but if you plan to cook this isn’t the best kitchen for you.

Sharon -We will do an inventory! This is the first that we heard about not having enough items to cook.
The summer has been busy with guests so either the missing items were put in a strange location, broken/discarded or they have gone missing (the missing white bowls, pots, and pans are the strangest part?). We do a quarterly inventory for missing and damaged items. Everything was there at the beginning of the summer. We also personally cook ourselves....more than we go out.... so I completely understand the issue for you.
We are super glad to have the feedback, just surprised to hear it. One thing any host would ask is to please don't be shy about communicating suggestions personally..... and as soon as you are aware, vs wait and put it in a review. We had no idea. We painstakingly worked on providing a plethora of kitchen items so that people can cook. Those of us that try really hard to accommodate a guest's many requests can be crushed by a review that comes as a blindside particularly when we could have easily accommodated. Then you would have had what you wanted while you were there!
I hope your rescheduled flight home got easier and you were able to make many wonderful memories during your stay in AMI. Best regards,
Amy
This home was absolutely perfect - from the big windows overlooking the canal, to the pool, to the close walk to the beach, to the cozy beds and wonderful shower—it all was incredible.
We loved kayaking right off the dock each morning, seeing all the beautiful birds and the peaceful location was such a blessing. Amy is a top notch host, who is excellent with communication and desires to make your stay wonderful! She truly is the best.
Thankful to have found some a treasure of a home in such a magical location.
The house was perfect for our group. I really enjoyed the panoramic view of the canal outside the large windows on the back. The house itself was very nice in a quiet neighborhood with enough trees and foliage to make it seem almost private! I thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Anna Maria. I love the laid-back atmosphere and old-Florida feel of the entire island. It's on my bucket list for a do-over! Amy was great, a real help with the best places to eat, etc. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
I highly recommend this property! Beautiful canal view, awesome pool, great kayaking right off your dock! So many bonuses!! My son caught so many fish right from the dock! Just a few short blocks from a very uncrowned part of the beach right in the gulf side! Amy is great to work with and super responsive! I couldn’t recommend this property more! We will be back!
Everything about our experience was fantastic! The location is great - walk to Bean Point or into town for dinner. The canal in the back is a wonderful view for sitting on the lovely patio - we had manatees visit! We enjoyed the pool and the kayaks very much - even kayaked out to Tampa Bay. The house is clean and well furnished for everything you might need in the kitchen, to go to the beach, or even to bike around. The beds, pillows and linens were quality and very comfortable! I enjoyed communicating with Amy and she was very quick to answer any questions! We were a party of 3 adults (myself and two grown children) and it was quite roomy for us. Highly recommend!!!!
The location was wonderful. Patio by the water was so pretty. We loved the views from there. Close to white beaches and turquoise water of the gulf coast. Would definitely stay here again. Hostessp
We really enjoyed our stay at Amy’s property. The house was in a great location. Very close to the beach. We loved staying on the canal for easy launch of kayaks and SUP. The pool was a great change of pace from the beach. We really loved the huge windows overlooking the pool and canal. The home was well equipped and more than enough space for our family of 4. We will definitely be back! Thank you Amy for the great vacation.
This location is truly spectacular, the landscaping around the pool makes you feel like your in a tropical spa. House is very nice for 6 people with a private bathroom for each bedroom, beds all comfy. Kayaking in the canal was really a treat. The walk to the beach is no problem and with the provided beach cart a breeze. The beach was spectacular for sure, like a private resort but a little people watching and wild life galore. We lived out stay. Amy is a super accessible host of you have any questions or issues she is on them immediately.
Our vacation could not have been better! Staying at this property truly felt like we were in a tropical paradise - surrounded by palm trees, a beautiful pool that overlooks the canal, white sandy beaches just a short walk away. Also, Amy was a fantastic host! Check-in/out was incredibly easy, the house was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better first stay on AMI!
