This beautiful home was immaculate, clean and well presented. It is spectacularly close to the beach and water. Listening to the waves lapping on the shore at night was very soothing. The view of the sunrise was amazing. It’s walking distance to some smart places to eat. Dale, our host was incredibly friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. Thoroughly recommended and 5 star review well deserved.

Thank you Gillian , for that excellent review. It thrilled me, to host you all and to know you came all the way, from England, to stay, was about beyond belief. I'm so glad, you all had such a good time and want to come again. The house really is amazing, to be able to step out the door and literally be at your own private beach and being on the water, is breath taking. Then to get to see Manatees, dolphin and all the wildlife, just sets it off. Thank you for choosing AMISKYVIEW, you are welcome back, anytime.

Mr. Dale was an exceptional host. He was very attentive in his communication and his number one priority was making our stay special for our family to make memories. The house is located close to all the shops and restaurants all easily accessible by walking. The beach was great and very calm waters which allowed our younger children to play without concerns of large waves or rip tides. Will definitely book this house again for our next stay in Anna Maria.

This house was perfect for my family. Being right on the water was ideal for our young family. Our two year old and a six month old, were able to nap inside while I sat in the sand. The water was also perfect for the kids, being only about 3 feet deep for a good distance. We ate every meal on the patio out back. We enjoyed all of the fun toys at the house : kayak, paddle boards, lounge chairs, beach chairs, and sand toys galore. There was so much wildlife activity in the water- we saw dolphins right near the shore almost every day. The inside was super clean and just as described. The kitchen was a bit tight, but our family of six adults made it work. Added bonus, the house was a 2-3 minute walk to shops including Two Scoops ice cream. Only a short drive to the ocean side as well. Dale was an excellent host! He quickly communicated and was accommodating about our arrival. Thank you!

Thank you Janessa....for that very nice, Super Review. I appreciate, your kindness and you all staying, at Amiskyview. It was great, the kids, had so much fun and you all got to see a lot of dolphins and wildlife. You really can't beat the incredible views, location and uniqueness, of the house. Our family, came to the island in the 1930's and at the time, could have gotten property, anywhere on the island, but chose and loved, that location. I thank you again, for choosing to stay and I hope you all, can return again, to paradise, soon.

Amazing spot that is close to everything on the island. Beach front that can’t be beat. We saw dolphins, a stingray, and found plenty of good shells (including two shark teeth). Dale was very responsive and even arranged for his crew to install a scooter ramp for my Dad on Christmas Eve. A huge bonus is the amount of water and sand toys, including kids/toddler life vests. Great stay all around!

Second time staying at this property. Fourth time at AMI. We just love both. I especially like this house because I’m handicapped and unable to access most beaches and bodies of water. This property is perfect for me as the sand and water are right there! Each bedroom having own full bath is great when having company. Place is fully stocked with anything you may have forgotten.
