Awesome home! Quiet area, and so close to the beach. Pool and spa were so fun and relaxing. We’re already thinking of another trip to AMI and if we do we won’t even search for another property if this one is available for the dates we choose.

This property was everything we needed for our family vacation! The private pool was a big hit, it was a short walk to the beach and has its own little dock over the water. Thanks for a great time!

This home was immaculate, a fabulous location close to beach and Pine St and property management very helpful. Be advised there are many,many stairs! The pool and hot tub very nice. And we had access to double garage for parking. We have been going to AMI for several years and this may be the nicest home we have rented.

Coconut Bayou was truly a vacation dream. The private swimming pool was a gem and so handy for us to take a quick dip. Loved the spacious kitchen. One suggestion would be better beach chairs and an umbrella so you don’t have to rent them.

We were so happy with this rental! Very spacious, huge pool, and driveway was bigger than most on the island. The company was fast to respond to any questions we had and it’s dog friendly/fenced in. It’s just 1 block back from the beach which was perfect for a little quiet time and off the main road. Thank you!

Florida Dreams Realty loves hosting your family in Coconut Bayou! Thanks for being a return guest and for your kind review. We couldn't agree with you more! ;)
Sunny Regards,

This home is absolutely breathtaking. I love staying where you can see a bit of history of the home and homeowners. The house is in a perfect location walking to the beach for sunset or bay for sunrise. Can paddle from the dock at the house out into tampa bay and cruise the beaches on a calm day, or paddle out to the city pier for breakfast. The spa and pool were clean and ready to go upon arrival, everyone was very kind in office and helped with any questions I did have. WIll stay again and would recommend!

We've been on hundreds of beach vacations and Anna Maria Island is definitely one of the best we've experienced. The island is very family friendly, the beach is superb, there are no chain restaurants and all the amenities you could need are easily acquired. Coconut Bayou is in a great location. Walking distance to the beach and many of the local eateries, cafes and general store. We never used our car once we were at Coconut Bayou. The house is very clean, well kept and the beds are comfy. The heated pool (90 degrees) was very welcoming after a day at the beach.

Great neighborhood. Property as advertised. Garage door needs a remote. Pool needs a vacum and the hot tub jets did not work. Messaged the property manager, however; I did not receive a response.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for being our guest in the lovely Coconut Bayou.
The pool is vacuumed by the pool company during their weekly service if needed and unfortunately, the garage door no longer has a remote due to guests not returning it. We did message you that there is a button that will raise and lower the door, and we hope you enjoyed your stay.
Sunny Regards,
