AMI Summer Strand

We have been doing a week in AMI for the last three years. Our previous rentals were all fine but nothing that made us want to return. This house will not go down that way!!!! Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had! From the second you walk into this amazing house and you are greeted with a gourmet charcuterie board you know it’s a whole new level. The photos of this house do not begin to do it justice!!! Every amenity you could want and a perfect location too. I considered gate keeping this place so it will always be available to us in the future but it’s so awesome I can’t keep it to myself!!!!

Five Star Luxury on AMI

Our family of 6 adults and a toddler spent a week at Summer Strand and it is by far the nicest house we’ve ever rented! The home is even bigger than it appears in the pictures, and it is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is equipped with everything you can imagine, and everything in it is top notch. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice, and there is more than enough room for a big group to hang out inside or out. The pool area makes you feel like you are at a resort, and the kayak and paddle boards are a fun addition. Going to the beach is a breeze since it’s a short walk and the buggy, chairs, umbrellas, and toys are all provided. Nicole is a wonderful host, and the management company was super-responsive. We will be back!

Amazing Property

Summer Strand is the best rental we have ever had on Anna Maria Island and perhaps anywhere. The house is luxurious, clean, comfortable, and attention was given to every detail. The location on AMI is perfect - tucked away enough to be private, yet walkable to the beach and restaurants. Summer Strand is a master class in rental property lifestyle branding.

The perfect place with all the details

What a beautiful week with family and friends. If you have teen boys this is the perfect place. Hot tub with a TV, pool room, ping pong, and a dock for fishing. For the girls, sun in the backyard until about 1:00, And then off to the beach in a quick ride with a golf cart. A well stocked garage with bikes, chairs, floats essentially everything you would need. We used it all. The house is beautifully decorated, The master bathroom is heaven. I will be using this wonderful hosts ideas when I redo my bathrooms. The beds were also very comfortable. This area was mostly spared from the hurricane. I would recommend breakfast at the North shore, lunch or dinner at the tropical BBQ and a wonderful Italian dinner at Ila Scala. We headed to the Ugly Grouper for a fun night out as well. I would highly recommend this house and the hosts. We will be back!

Great property!

Stayed with my wife and 2 other couples. House is new, modern and spacious. Backyard is amazing and where we spent most of our time. Close to the beach, easy area to get around in a golf cart and plenty of great restaurants near by. Our host was attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had. Only slight things of note…no bathroom on the ground level so needed to go upstairs inside the house. Also, waterfall for pool was not working. Still highly recommend!

Wonderful Anna Maria Island Vacation

The Summer Strand home is truly amazing! Two families of 4 shared the home with kids between 9 and 13. It was a perfect fit. I can’t say enough about the beautiful design, finishes and furniture. It was a true 5 star experience! It was thoughtfully stocked with basics that I haven’t experienced in other homes which was really helpful, and the owners provided great beach items. The walk to the beach was easy with great beach access options. The kids had a hard time leaving the gorgeous pool area. With the canal, mosquitoes bothered us around dusk into the evening, but they have installed a mosquito repellent solution that helped. Highly recommend this beautiful home! Nicole, the home owner, was absolutely great to work with to get everything setup for the rental. We love AMI and Summer Strand!
