Our stay at Tarpon Flats was wonderful! Laura is a tremendous host! She is quick to respond, accommodating, understanding and working with her is super easy. The home is as advertised. The kitchen is well equipped, neat, clean and current. The entire house was very clean with a nice supply towels; bath and beach. Check before shopping for incidentals as they are available on the property. The five minute walk to the beach was easy and the wagon for hauling our beach things was appreciated. Enjoyed our stay and we're coming back! Thank you, Laura!

Great stay steps from Bradenton Beach

We throughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, well equipped with plenty of amenities in the kitchen, beach equipment, lots of towels and beach towels, a washer and dryer. The couch was so comfortable and great to laze on in the evening. We enjoying sitting on the front balcony/porch having a morning coffee, this side of the house is east and bay side facing so you can watch a beautiful bayside sunrise. Communication with the host was flawless and we would definitely stay again.

Excellent Spring Break!

AMI is our yearly destination for spring break. This was our 10th year. We’ve stayed at condos and multi-family houses throughout Bradenton beach. This was our favorite space. Communication with Laura was top-notch. Location, accuracy, affordability, all exactly what we needed. Well-stocked kitchen, beach necessities, laundry, etc. Looking forward to our stay for spring break 2026!!

Great location. Perfect house. We had everything we needed for our family vacation. One of the best hosts I’ve ever rented from. Laura was so helpful and accommodating. The house was in a great location to walk or bike to restaurants and the beach. The view of the bay was incredible. The beaches on Anna Maria are unmatched. We can’t wait to stay here again soon!

Wow! What a great time our family had on this vacation. This house is in a great location and is a close walk to the beach or for a short stroll to view the bay. Our family loved the restaurants and experience of the places that Laura suggested. Laura has prompt communication and is a wonderful host. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great stay

Overall this was a great place! Location was great..could see the Bay from the balcony and the beach was a 3 block walk. Close to everything- however we rented a golf cart for the week so that made getting around 100% easier. Neighbors we encountered were all very friendly. If I could give recommendations for anything it would be that the bathrooms could use some updates. And the beach chairs werent the best - but we brought our own also. AMI is amazing and we had the best time and will be back.

Great rental

My family and I which consisted of my two boys, my parents, and my husband and I found the accommodations to be quite spacious and very comfortable. We are only three blocks from the beach. There was a tent that everybody fit under to block the sun at the beach, a wagon, & plenty of chairs. The beds were all very comfortable. And I’m pretty picky when it comes to beds. But I slept great. The outdoor porch was good it was screened in. Everybody enjoyed the hammock. The neighborhood was wonderful everybody felt safe. And Anna Maria Island was great we loved it!

Met basic needs but…

The house met our basic needs but needs some work. One of the doors to the front balcony wouldn’t shut properly nor lock. During our week long stay we had to prop a dining room chair against the door to keep it shut. Reached out about the issue, the manager responded via messages very quickly but the problem was never fixed. Another major issue is the “master” bathroom. This bathroom has the only shower/tub. So with 5 people having to share was a timely inconvenience. The biggest problem with the bathroom is the “contemporary” glass blue sink. The sink had a green mold growing from the handle and the sink was very loose. My wife and I refused to the sink for any reason. Often going to the kitchen to brush our teeth. We did love how close to house was to the beach and the screened in back baloney with the hammock. We definitely appreciated all the beach gear.
