This is part of four units that shares a nice pool across the street from Manatee beach. Looks like everything is new due to the hurricane rebuild. Kitchen is not well accesorized but just a clean ground floor unit with decent beds.

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very nice - so clean and convenient to everything. It was a nostalgic vacation for me. My family stayed on Anna Maria Island many times, when I was a child growing up. Wish we could have stayed longer.Thank you and Many Blessings,Kathy

This condo was exactly how they described and portrayed! It was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed as far as kitchen supplies and linens go! The pool was always clean and although laundry wasn’t in unit, it was just across the yard of the property & was very clean and worked perfectly! It was a great location on Anna Maria, right across the street from the public beach x

Holmes beach vacation

Had a great time at Mi Happy Place. Clean, convenient and well situated on the island. Short walk to the beach, grocery store and some local restaurants. Hosts were very responsive as well. The pool was very nice and the space worked perfectly for us. Definitely recommend for a small group looking for a beach getaway.

LOVED MI HAPPY PLACE !!

This was our first time to AMI and we had a great vacation !! Our condo was conveniently located about a 3min. walk to a beautiful beach which had a restaurant and a great place to watch the sunset. The condo was very clean and perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed . The owners are the greatest people to work with, friendly and super fast responses. We are looking forward to staying here again :)
