We had a great time here for a week with the family. The house was very clean and the pool and hot tub was really great. It's one block to the beach and one block to Pine street where a lot of stores and restaurants. It's really an amazing location.

Great location- close to beach and close to Pine St. For shopping and restaurants! We walked most everywhere. Heated pool and hot tub were nice for the cooler days. Very responsive property managers too. Stairs are only way in/out which was no issue for us, just good to be aware of if that’s an issue for anyone in your group. Overall a very nice rental!

Beautiful home with all amenities. The spa and pool were nice and relaxing. 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and 10 minutes to the city pier. Gorgeous area. Lots of local restaurants to try. AMI kept in touch at all times. We just wish we’d stayed longer and we will definitely be back again. Thank you for a nice quiet week.

Carefree Cay - Feb 2022

Great property, the location is absolutely fabulous, close to beach and shops. Would stay here again and again. One suggestion, WiFi is not currently sufficient. It cut out quite a few times on us, and does not reach many parts of the property (downstairs, pool, deck, etc).

Great Break from the MI Winter

Beautiful home in a great location. Smooth check in with great communication from management company throughout. Pictures are an accurate representation of the place. Very spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Heated in ground pool and spa were perfect with convenient outdoor bathroom and shower. Short walk to beach and place provided a wagon, cooler, 3 beach chairs, umbrella.Safety features of door alarms to pool were nice but we did have to rent a gate for an open stairway to the basement. Would strongly recommend and stay again!

Beautiful house in the perfect location

My wife and I, along with our two toddlers, had an amazing time in this house. It was very clean and as described in the listing. Perfect location a block from the beach which made it so convenient with toddlers. The pool area was just a relaxing quiet setting. A few blocks walk to cute little shops and restaurants too. We really enjoyed our time and hope to go back. The only two things I wish they had was possibly a pack ‘n play for younger ones to sleep in, and maybe a way to block or close off the step going down into the basement- I had to barricade the top of the steps with chairs.

PERFECT paradise!

PERFECT place for a vacation on AMI! Ideal location, close to the gorgeous beach and downtown Pine Avenue. Our family of four had plenty of room to eat, sleep and relax in this immaculate home. Layout was fantastic! After soaking up the sun at the beautiful beach, we went for a dip in the refreshing pool right in the backyard. Kitchen stocked with every appliance you can imagine! Openness of kitchen was wonderful.. Beds very comfortable. Super fun basement with shuffleboard opened right to the backyard with pool, hot tub, outdoor bathroom and closet packed with every beach / pool item you need. Plenty of towels, sheets, and pillows. We are already planning to book again so we can make AMI a family tradition!

The house was clean and the landscaping and pool were beautiful. We loved the beach decor! Our beach was gorgeous and we enjoyed the spectacular sunsets every night. We saw manatee in the clear blue/green waters and the kids found handfuls of sand dollars! The Anna Maria pier opened during our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
