We loved our beautiful stay the Crab Shack! The house was very clean, and the layout was perfect for our family of 5. Our kids loved the pool and it was so helpful to have a wagon and chairs to bring to the beach. Also, Jackie was very responsive with any questions we had. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to AMI!

The host was very responsive and answered every question we had. The house was wonderful. The location and condition is excellent. We loved walking to the beach. The little shed was equipped with all the beach essentials. The pool was clean and warm and so inviting for relaxing in the sun. No complaints, it was a fantastic stay, at a fantastic house, in a fantastic location.

Perfect home away from home!

This was our first time to visit Anna Maria Island so we weren’t sure what to expect. The house was in a perfect central location on a quiet street. The home was beautiful and we absolutely loved the pool! We are hoping to make this an annual getaway.

Beautiful and great location!

Beautiful and tastefully decorated home. Plenty of space for six people. I would definitely rent again. The central location is perfect for exploring the island, many restaurants within walking distance. The owner reached out well in advance of the stay for me to ask questions etc, and even called me on check in day letting us know the home was available at lunchtime! I highly recommend the Crab Shack!

We loved the place! The pool was amazing, it had the perfect amount of room for 5 of us. It is not far from the beach. There is a wagon for the beach, with chairs, umbrellas, rafts for the pool beach toys for the kids we donated a body board as well. Jackie was great she called to let me know everything we needed to know and was available if we needed to get ahold of her before our stay and during. We would stay here again it felt like home! Thanks Jackie we had a great week!

❤️ AMI

Our first trip to AMI was amazing. Thank you Jackie for your tips and hospitality! The property had everything we needed for a week in the beach and the pool was an added bonus. The location was ideal for us - right in the middle to explore all areas of the island. We can’t wait to come back!

Lovely place

I travel every year to Anna Maria Island and have for many many years as my father in law lives in Bradenton. This is our annual beach trip/visit him trip. This is the first time we have stayed at this property and it is by far our favorite place! It had just enough space for 4 adults with a little extra space, but still quaint enough as well. We will definitely be booking again for next year. Beautifully done after the hurricane damaged it. 100% recommend.

Has It All

Perfect for 2 seniors, high beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon to pull it all, and when the beach was too much, we had that wonderful pool with great pool floats. TVs in all bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Everything that you would need in the kitchen is there. Parking right by the front door. I look forward to renting this property again.

Perfect!

This house was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 4 teenagers. Check-in was super easy and the house was clean and had everything we needed for the week. The kitchen appliances and washer and dryer all seemed brand new. The pool and deck area were wonderful, plenty of seating and it included a shed full of everything you need for a trip to the beach, which is about a 10 minute walk from the house. We always love coming to AMI and this house did not disappoint!

This was one of our favorite houses we've stayed at on AMI. We did a girls trip with me and my sister plus our daughters/nieces who are in their 20s. Everyone loved the pool area (beautifully landscaped with both sun & shade depending on time of day), plus Jackie had great accessories we could take to the beach. The house was super clean, well-maintained, and in a central location. We frequently walked to shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Jackie was super communicative. If we needed anything or had a question, she always responded immediately and went above and beyond to take care of our requests.
