***OVERCROWDING CONSEQUENCES***
Maximum occupancy of rental homes on Anna Maria Island are set by the Cities and are strictly enforced. An occupant is any person staying overnight, regardless of the number of nights. Due to recent issues of overcrowding in the area, if maximum occupancy is exceeded during your stay, a $1000 (one thousand dollar) overcrowding fee will be charged to the payment method on file and your party will be immediately evicted. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to keep Anna Maria Island enjoyable for everyone.

"You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property."
*Exceeding the noise ordinance could result in disciplinary actions including fines and/or termination of your rental agreement without refund.

Just steps from the beach…

Cute little cottage with a great oasis in the back yard. The price during the off-season is very reasonable so we decided to extend a few days after our first wonderful week. Located close to several great dining locations including our favorite The Doctors Office. The paint & outdoor furniture could use a little TLC but overall it’s a great property.

Great House, Close to the Beach

We loved this trip to AMI. The house is great, essentially a duplex with another rental on the other side of the wall. We could hear the family in the other rental off and on but it wasn’t loud. Each unit has its own small private pool in back which is great. Very private feeling backyard/pool area with tall fence and tall palm plants. Each unit has enough parking for two vehicles. The town is great. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, still close to restaurants, Publix grocery store, CVS. There aren’t really any chain restaurants on the island but all of the local ones we tried were good. Beach is perfect white sand and clear water. Recommend day trips to De Soto State Park to snorkel and to Kayak - we saw many manatees during our July trip. Great, relaxing, fun trip. We hated to leave.

Great Location, Could be maintained better and should be refreshed.

Pros: Location. Management was responsive when we called for broken luggage rack, missing corkscrew, bathroom door assembly loose. Cons: Cleaning was marginal. Not thoroughly scrubbed. Lack of maintenance on things that could be easily addressed: rusty shower curtain rod, rust around the toilet area, rust in kitchen sink sponge holder, rusty grill (we decided not to use the grill), older worn and unappealing pool area furniture. Paint job really needs to be refreshed. All of this is easily fixable and it clearly has been this way for a while. This takes away from the vacation vibe. If management would put some TLC into this property it would shine.
