Perfect for our group of 4. We had a great time and enjoyed sitting on dock on canal- saw four manatees go by during our stay. Great location for pine street shopping and dining. Only suggestion would be to have some backpack beach chairs. (We were late to the game and rentals were sold out). Host was very responsive and communicated well during whole process.

The stay was nice, but internet wasn’t working and we tried to contact the manager and never got a response. It lists a dock on the canal and we had no clue which one was the one we could use, no response. The kitchen didn’t have a lot of pans to use. We needed a pizza pan and no one was to be found. Beach chairs and umbrella were rusty and heavy. Just some suggestions that would make it more rentable for a beach families.

Kitchen was stocked with all utensils. Property had travel cleaning products and bathroom toiletries as well. Right on Pine Ave, and very walkable to shops/restaurants. Also directly in front of a trolley stop which is very helpful. Would most definitely stay here again, and highly recommend!

The condo worked perfectly for myself and my daughter. We could walk to the bayside in two minutes for the sunrise and 10 minutes to see the sunset on the ocean side. We enjoyed the location as we could walk to shops, resturants, trolley stop, kayak/bike rentals and just sit by the canal. The condo was nice and clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here on Anna Maria Island! The building complex felt very safe and peaceful, and the location couldn’t have been better. The beach was just perfect — crystal clear blue water and soft sand — truly beautiful!Everything was close by and easy to get to, which made our trip so relaxing. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, and we really appreciated that personal touch.We will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend!

The love shack is amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. It was cozy, had plenty of towels, all the kitchen supplies you would need, beach chairs/umbrella and big TVs in both bedrooms. We enjoyed fishing in the canal and hoping over to 2 scoops for ice cream or a quick snack. Location was great!

Right in the Heart of AMI!

This condo is in the PERFECT location! It was clean, fully stocked, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the canal behind the condo, which is right outside the patio doors. There’s two ice cream shops and restaurants within walking distance. We rented a golf cart to ride around the island, which made going out and to the beach so easy being this condo is so close to everything. Great rental!!

Great accommodations that had everything, including beach chairs. Very close to very nice beaches, walking distance. Close to many options for dining. We didnt rent a car, but you can rent bikes or golf court, and there is also a free shuttle that takes you across the island. The home is very comfortable and clean. Recommend staying here.

Perfect location

Perfect location- we loved being so close to everything, the beach was a block over but we could see it, the canal was cool too and we say Manatees. The interior of the property is very nice- pictures are exact. The beds were Very comfortable! Kitchen was stocked. A cooler would have been nice. The beach towels & chairs were great. We also saw dolphins right out front! Beautiful safe area and everyone is so friendly. Delicious Ice cream right across the street with lots of snack options. We ate at several restaurants including Slims (very local vibe ), the Porch (absolutely amazing- all 4 of us had the best food), the Sandbar (delicious and best location right on the beach)- we wanted to eat at all of them but didn’t have enough time. The location of the market for other supplies was great. The trolley system was perfect. We wish we had another day using that- went to Bridge street and had a blast. Rented bikes several days too- Very nice! Thank you Florida for sharing your amazing island with Wisconsin folks!

This was the absolute perfect choice for our family of five (with a couple young kids). The location is perfect, kitchen is well-stocked, and beds are insanely comfortable! We would like to stay here again the next time we visit Anna Maria Island.
