First time we stayed at a VRBO that was actually nicer than the description! The home was immaculately clean, kitchen was well stocked with new looking appliances, utensils, pots, pans and dishes. The beach chairs and toys were very nice, the pool was an absolute delight! What an amazing way to wrap up a day after enjoying the short walk or fun golf cart ride to the beach. Close to many nice shops and restaurants. We will return to this property! Excellent communication with the owners and absolutely zero problems or concerns.

We loved this property! The house is spacious, nicely decorated, clean, with an awesome well stocked kitchen. A quiet street on the north half of AMI. We have stayed a number of places between AMI and Siesta Key, but this was our favorite. The back yard with the pool, grill, pergola, furniture, and privacy is terrific. Even on a couple cooler days it was very usable and the pool was kept warm to enjoy all the time.It is a very short walk to the beach, and all the chairs, umbrellas...are available. The large church parking lot on the side and back is a nice place to shoot some baskets or some other recreation.

Perfect place for us!Loved the location- quiet dead end street away from the bustle of the commercial areas of Anna Maria and Holmes beach yet walkable plus the free trolley stop at the end of the street Also loved short walk to the beach (although crossing gulf can be a challenge when traffic is heavy). And the beach by the house is less crowded than public access areas. Loved the cleanliness of the house, everything in working order and everything we needed. The beach chairs, umbrella and wagon were in excellent working order and the back pack chairs were easy to carry and set up. Also loves the magnetic scrabble set on the wall. Loved the back yard. It was big, high privacy fence, nice heated pool and both sunny and shady areas to sit. Although the house is next to a church parking lot we did not hear any noise while sitting outside other than the traffic on gulf blvd. Didn’t love leaving but we will return next year.

Great first trip to AMI
We decided to visit AMI for 6 nights after doing a similar trip to Cape Coral last year. Totally different experience. The location here is perfect and there is so much to do. We spent time at the beach which is a very reasonable walk, and in all the local towns. Most every afternoon we could be found in the pool, which was the perfect size and a great temp. The house was clean and well equipped (bring your own toiletries though). We loved the giant scrabble board and played every day. The hosts were communicative and easy to work with. We will be back to AMI and would certainly consider staying here again.

Can’t say enough good things about the property. Location was perfect less than a block to the beach. Backyard is so private and peaceful perfect for morning coffee and afternoons swimming in the pool. The home was very clean. Kitchen was a dream to cook in.
