We had a very nice week at this homeon the canal. House was clean, beds were comfortable, and the private pool and hot tub were great! We got to watch the manatee's play every day in the canal. Restaurants and shopping in the area were great too! Lots to do and see.

Watching manatees play in the canal every day sounds like such a special part of your stay, Suzanne! We’re glad Beach and Boat House by AMI Locals gave you a comfortable home base, with clean spaces, cozy beds, and a private pool and hot tub to enjoy. It’s wonderful that you could also explore the nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We’d love to welcome you back for another week of canal views and island adventures!

Well equipped home. Very spacious with a bathroom for each bedroom. Plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Hot tub heats up quickly. Nice to have a private pool.You can see a bit of the bay from the balcony too!The owner should probably dispose of the two twin mattress and foam toppers that are stored in the primary bedroom closet though. It takes up a lot of space and you can’t fully use the hooks for hanging items. Also, the garage opening and closing is a bit odd. The keypad outside will work for getting in, but not for closing from exterior. You must hold down the button inside until the garage is fully closed, or it will reopen.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at Beach and Boat House by AMI Locals, Irene. We're glad to hear you otherwise enjoyed your visit. We're sorry to learn that the pool and bathroom did not meet your expectations. Had we been made aware of these concerns during your stay, we would have gladly sent our housekeeping or pool team to address them right away. We did receive your report regarding the broken chair and were happy to assist, and we always encourage guests to let us know about any other inconveniences as they arise so we have the opportunity to make things right. Regarding the pool alarms, they are required under the City of Anna Maria's pool safety ordinance for residential vacation rentals and are in place to help enhance pool safety, particularly for children. We appreciate your understanding and your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another enjoyable island stay.

Fun in Anna Maria

The house accommodated all 7 of us very nicely. There was a quick walk to the beach and drive to town. Publix was close by for convenience. The house hot tub and pool were very nice. The Feast restaurant had really good food. Hanks Hurricane was hard to get into.

We truly found our home away from home – can't wait to come back!

We had the best family getaway at the Beach and Boat House! The kids couldn’t get enough of the private pool and spa, and being just a short walk from the beach was a huge bonus. We spent our days fishing from the dock, and we even spotted some manatees—so cool! The bedrooms were super comfortable, and after our busy days, we loved hanging out in the game room playing foosball and ping pong. Plus, the outdoor dining area was perfect for family dinners. With those gorgeous canal views all around, it really felt like a little slice of paradise. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to vacation on Anna Maria Island - 5 stars all around.

Our favorite rental place on AMI hands down

We had an incredible stay at the Beach and Boat House! This beautiful canal-front rental is just a quick five-minute walk to the beach, which made enjoying sunny days on Anna Maria Island especially enjoyable. The island has such a charming vibe with awesome shops and delicious local dining. The private pool and in-ground spa were perfect for relaxing. The living area was bright and comfy, and beautifully decorated, we enjoyed cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Each bedroom felt like a cozy retreat—especially the primary suite with its amazing spa tub. A big shoutout to AMI Locals for their fantastic customer service, making everything easy.

Beautiful Home

The home is exactly as it appears online. Hot Tub was hot, which was perfect for the cooler weather. Island is up and running but still many restaurants not open. Salt and Waterfront were amazing restaurants. We were happy to support the Island. The only downside was AMI only supplies minimal essentials like 2 dishwasher pods, 2 rolls of toilet paper, etc. For the price, there should be basics like salt & pepper, cooking oil, etc and enough toilet paper for your stay. I would give 5 star across the board if it wasn't for the essentials being so minimal.
