Annual AMI trip
The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Neighbors were so kind. Pool was big and nice and beach access was beautiful. Elevator is hit or miss but it was only one flight of stairs. Beds were comfortable and we lived out on the balcony. It was very peaceful.

Perfect getaway
Located right on the beach! Tennis court was in great shape. Pool and hot tub very clean. Unit itself was very nicely decorated and spacious. And plenty of beach towels and beach toys were provided. Location on the Island was perfect. Easy bike ride to Anna Maria and other locations on the Island.

Fantastic Holmes Beach
We rented this apartment for 14 days. The location right on Holmes Beach which has the most amazing white sand. The pool was properly heated and great to go straight in unlike many places where the pool is too cold to use. The hot tub was toasty. Property managers Suzanne and Tom were great when we needed some help. All in all a great apartment in a very nice friendly complex.

A Lovely Stay
This was a lovely place to stay for our trip. The location and view really made us want to stay longer. Pool and jacuzzi were very easy to access and great to jump into after hitting the beach. Inside the layout was very comfortable for us. Kitchen was fully supplied which made it easy for us to make our own meals as we wished. The building staff was also pleasant to deal with. Finally, Suzanne, who managed our stay, is absolutely wonderful and was very quick to respond helpfully when we had a question or a need. We recommend this property and hope to come back again.

AM I DREAMING?
We absolutely love Anna Maria Island. That being said , renting a property with direct beach access is A critical component to our overall experience. There are multiple gates to go through for beach access, which I assume are there for security and privacy reasons. The locks in the gates were worn to the point where they required us to reach through and manipulate the lock with the key from the opposite side every time we accessed the pool area. The other gate lock to beach access required us to fight the key in and out of it every time. That would be the only negative item that we experienced. Now for the good. It’s AMI !!!!! Sugary Sand Beaches. I had the entire pool to myself almost every day for 3 weeks! Walk through aforementioned gates and Voila! Beautiful Sunset 🌅 in the Gulf. The condo exterior has a subtle Spanish theme. The interior had a light Beachy feel. Also, having a washer/dryer in the unit was huge! After all, we’re on vacation. No one wants to go to a laundromat or community laundry room. Great amenity.
