Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the great location, comfortable furniture, and beds. It's always wonderful to be so close to both the beach and convenient shopping spots. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!
This home is my vibe ! The moment I walked in I felt at home !My husband and I were down for our nephews wedding and it was perfect for us .. my nephew then stopped in for one night with his daughter and we walked to the beach and stores ..I love that I only had to go next door to the olive oil store for my wine !!! The pool was perfect for us .. however I don’t see it would work if I brought my grandkids .. the neighbors complained to us about the noise of the pool filter .. which we knew was a bit loud did not bother us .. what was the bother was the neighbors complaining to us ..some beach and pool equipment would be nice to have . We went and bought stuff from the store and had to leave it and or give it away . I would definitely stay here again !!! I absolutely loved sitting on the front porch with my coffee .. you don’t feel like you are dead center of the town ..

This one sound like it just clicked from the moment you walked in, Connie. So glad Buttonwood Cottage by AMI Locals felt like your kind of place from morning coffee on the porch, easy walks to the beach and shops, and even a quick stop next door for wine… that’s peak island living. We really appreciate you sharing the details, too. The pool pump noise you experienced was due to a warranty issue and has since been taken care of. And for the beach gear—chairs, umbrella, and a cart are provided, so if anything ever seems missing, just give us a shout and we’ll get you sorted right away. Sorry you had that interaction with the neighbors that’s definitely not the vibe we want for your stay. Sounds like you made some great memories here. We’d love to have you back anytime for another laid-back island escape!
Property is centrally located, nicely furnished (cute and beachey with good quality furniture and linens) and geared to family groups. The online photos do not do justice to how generously sized the rooms are. The porches, front and back, were pleasantly shaded with ceiling fans and comfy seating. The pool is quite small - which was not a surprise, but it did get quite warm in the late afternoon. Water temperature was pleasant in the mornings.
We were able to easily. walk to either the bay or gulf side beaches and many shops and restaurants. AMI Locals (property management company) was responsive and prompt in our only request to them - we needed some additional bath towels and they brought them right away.
Altogether, we had a great stay and would not hesitate to book Buttonood Cottage again.
The pool was not heated like advertised. The alarms on the doors did not work properly. Great location and cozy but definitely needs a new mattress in the main bedroom. Didn’t know that there would not be any sheets on the bed so we had to lay on the flat sheet that would not stay in place. Moldy pool cushions were disappointing . Loved it but needs updating. Excellent location being close to Anna Maria Pier.

We were encouraged by the photos and description of this property but photos can be deceiving. The pool was 6x15, big enough for 3 adults and about 4 feet deep. The house is showing it’s age, needing some TLC and while it lists room for 8, it is probably better suited for a family with three kids. The location is ideal, the air conditioning perfect.

This property was amazing! We vacation on AMI frequently and will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits. Loved that it was steps from shopping/dining, and just a short walk to the beach.
