Our March visit from PA with our daughters was perfect. So perfect we have booked next year already. The other tenants were kind and helpful. View of beach and sunsets were spectacular. The pool was perfectly situated. The condo layout was open and the bedrooms just what we needed for 6 adults. Kitchen well stocked. There was maintenance of railings going on during our visit - which indicates the property is well-maintained and held to code. Hate to wish our life away - but so excited to return in 2027!! Thank you for a wonderful family experience.

The property location is outstanding. This is the third time we have stayed at this complex, and we will continue to! Kitchen was well stocked (baking dishes, blender, crockpot.. everything). Coffee options were traditional coffee maker, kcup and espresso (provide your own beans/grounds/pods). Patio is perfect for early morning coffee and AMI sunsets. Space overall was great with room to spread out. Livingroom has great seating for 6. Beds were comfy. Closet space was great. Recommendations from seasoned AMI renters: leave spray cleaner for guests, towel fee is very high (350), I’d have rather saved that and brought our own, one fan was non functioning, no beach umbrella present (I know it’s hard to keep up with beach equipment), beach chairs were poor quality compared to other friends’ on the island at different locations. Overall it was a great stay! I’d consider this unit again if it was available. Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us! :)

The cleaning and linen fee is not just for towels. It is for the linens and towels and the departure clean after you leave. We supply you with a 24/7 maintenance line that you can reach out to or call the office during business hours to report anything that is not working correctly during your stay so we can take care of it. We do not guarantee beach equipment due to wear and tear between guests. We refer our guests to Fun and More Rentals and that is in the arrival instructions that we send you.

Balcony on the beach was the perfect place to watch the sunset

We really enjoyed our stay on Anna Maria Island. The condo is located right on the beach with a balcony overlooking the sand and water. The open concept of the condo was perfect for our family to hang out at the end of a beach day. The pool area was nice with a view of the ocean. The communication with the rental agency was easy they promptly answered any questions I had.

Lovely quiet Oceanside Property

We loved the location, view, distance to the trolley, and the quiet beautiful beach. It was perfect for our needs. 2 king beds was a plus. There were a few maintenance items that could use attention ( loose chair leg, lightbulbs out, etc and we left a note for management) but we highly recommend this condo. FYI There were some some broken chairs and boogie board in the outside closet you probably want to throw away. We brought our own so it wasn’t a problem. We are grateful to have been able to stay at this restful place.
