Our original AMI home is much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators.

Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free Anna Maria Island Trolley. One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.

    The two bedrooms had very comfy beds. It was nice having his & hers bathrooms so we didn’t have to share! The kitchen was newly updated with nice appliances and well equipped. The cherry on top was the beautiful pool and hot tub! We definitely will be back!

    Property is clean. Pool is nice. Recommend for couple. Parking at beach during day is available if you have more than two vehicles. My son and his girlfriend visited the night of his birthday so be sure to use offsite parking if you have more than two vehicles at any point. Unfortunately we had lots of rain but when the sun came out we enjoyed the pool and the grill.

    Good place. Only drawback was small children on the second floor, in a building not well insulated or sound proofed.

    We were very happy with our stay here when visiting Anna Maria Island. This property was a very good value. Great location, clean, comfortable bed, amazing pool and the amenities such as the beach chairs and umbrella and bikes were a huge plus.

    This location was wonderful. Cortez Beach was across the street and the pool and hot tub provided the additional fun to the location. The owner provides all the water toys and even camp chairs to use at the beach. Restaurants and historic Bridge Street is approximately 1/4 mile away.
