Loved the location. Loved the outdoor areas. Would just suggest a gas grill or list it as charcoal grill. Need a broom for all the sand. Stove eyes are in need of repair or a stove with oven. Possibly a bigger counter top oven for say pizza if no traditional oven. Only one roll of toilet paper for four people staying 4 days is not enough. Maybe more trash can liners. We had a wonderful trip and would love to come again to Bradenton Beach!

Overall decor, location and property was VERY nice. Not the cleanest I have stayed in but I am type-A about that. Friends who stay with me know, no matter what, the first purchase is coffee and cleaning supplies! So I windexed the kitchen and living room outside windows, and cleaned the screens so we could enjoy the view. I also cleaned the legs and under the glass on the coffee and end tables, and the fridge door seal. But that’s just me. Did I mention I like things clean? 😂The screens are in poor repair, (multiple large holes) and windows needed to be propped open to enjoy the fresh air. But that would allow mosquitoes to enter, so we decided against having the windows open.
My biggest concern was for bedbugs. Our guest using the king bed had multiple bites on awakening, and new bites each morning. Host assured me they were sand fleas, aka no-see-ums. I am not convinced. The season is wrong for no-see-ums and I have personally experienced bites from these creatures. In my experience they occur on the beach and you know when you have been bitten. This guest is particularly fastidious. She showered daily after the beach, and did not ever notice any irritation or bites occurring while on the beach, only on awakening.
The hosts kindly offered us a deal if I rented again from them. We were not looking for a deal, or even a discount. We WERE looking for them to know we had a problem, and to address it, so no other guests had similar problems. I hope that happens.

Very clean, well appointed, beach is across the street and is beautiful. Washer and dryer are brand new and free. We didn’t use the pool but on a hot day it would be good for cooling off.

This was the perfect place to stay for our Anna Maria Island vacation! The condo had everything we needed and the host Jo-El is amazing! We love the tropical patio for breakfast in the morning and after dinner drinks and the pool was perfect and private. Highly recommend this unit. We cannot wait to book our stay for next year!

I've stayed here several times, and enjoyed each visit. Clean Home, perfect location.

Overall we had an excellent visit at this property. I did award 5 stars in all categories however, I would be remiss if I didn't point out a few things:
The bed is extremely firm.
The Owner requests the temperature to be no less than 75 when occupied and higher when unoccupied.
The bathroom has no vents and gets quite steamy. The location is centrally located on the island and very close to the beach - ideal for kids. While not officially ADA Accessible, people with limited mobility not requiring a wheelchair will likely not encounter any significant problems.
Towels were abundant. The kitchen was well-outfitted.
WiFi is suitable for remote work.
The pool is ideal for an evening drink and soak with friends.
There is ample parking (Other units in the building were vacant, and there is street parking).

This was an awesome place to stay! Owners are very friendly and accomodating. This rentals is so close to the ocean. Pool is relaxing, and has nice afternoon shade to escape the sun. The restaurants are fantastic...Hurricane Hanks and Ugly Grouper were some favorites. We highly recommend this rental.
10.0
Location perfect; accommodations very accommodating for 3 adults / 1 child; laundry and restroom at poolside very convenient; so close to the beach that one can almost touch it; easy parking for both tenants & visitors! Only thing I could think of that might make this place any easier would be to add a propane grill outside on the patio ( next to the charcoal one) but honestly who wants to cook on vacation when there is so many delicious “eats” on the island to try, not me! Thanks for a wonderful stay and the memory makers for a lifetime! We will be back! 😎🏝️🤩

Great location. A walk across the street to the beach. The tables outside where great for morning breakfast. Loved the small pool after a day at the beach.
Remind your guests there is not an oven.

We found the condo to be well suited for a few days on the beach. It was a little cold (for that area) during our trip, but I still found the opportunity to walk to the beach several times and it is really as close as it looks or maybe even closer. There are lots of little touches we thought were very thoughtful like how the beds in the kids bedroom had usb ports built in so lots of places to charge devices without having them clogging up central area. If I come back to this area I will definitely stay there again if its available.

The place was right across from the beach. It was a quite location within minutes of food and shopping. The beach and sunsets were amazing. Would definitely stay again.

Property was exactly as listed. Steps from the beach with numerous awesome restaurants in surrounding area.

The condo is so adorable. We used the pool, beach, laundry, outdoor shower, etc. It was a perfect fit for our family of four. We spent 4 days at Disney World and then recovered at sunisle #2 AMI for 4 days. It is literally steps from the beach and fine sugar sand is amazing. The only thing I thought might be an issue is that the unit doesn't have an oven or a grill, but the toaster oven worked great for what we needed. There is a charcoal grill set up on the deck but it was raining the day we got there and the brickettes were wet, but it didn't matter. The condo is close to everything yet quite and well equipped enough that you don't have to leave if you pick up a few food items on Your way into the condo. Would highly recommend and will hopefully get to stay again someday

A must rent!!! Great location, steps from the beach. Condo is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable beds. Outside pool area is wonderful. Cliff and Jo-el were incredible hosts and quick to respond to any questions we had.

This space would be perfect for a family (2 BRs, 1 w giant bed, other has 2 doubles, couch folds out too). I came out to get some quiet time. But it was easy to invite friends for a visit. They joined me at the beach, and then we went to multiple places to eat and drink. The condo was quiet, clean, and was perfectly located. Owner is great, very responsive to inquiries. Offered multiple options for food, and I took many suggestions. All were good. Especially Smoqe House! Friends were commenting how much they loved the space and wanted to book a weekend for themselves.

Amazing property just steps from the beach. It had everything we needed. It was also really nice the outdoor pool with a laundry room, the seating/grill area and a bathroom.
The only complain was the mattress of the sofa-bed, which did not look very clean underneaths, so we ended up using our own spare airbed..
Communication with the host was also very easy and she was very accommodating when we needed it (Thanks Jo-el!!)
I can’t say enough about how beautiful this beach is as well as how close to the condo.
In general, we had an awesome time here and definitely recommend the property.

Great location
The condo was clean and well maintained and the location was perfect. We were within 10 or 15 minutes of everything. The pool and outdoor area were perfect for the afternoons to grill and hang out. The host was very responsive and had some good recommendations on restaurants and things to do in the area. Overall it was a great place to visit and we would definitely go back.

Great location, good price
Very comfy king bed! Loved the salt water pool, clean laundry, shaded tables. Could use an umbrella by the pool. Also unit #2 could use front door bling fixed, updated kitchen cookware, Woyld stay here again. First floor for our older knees was nice.

Beach Vacation
This property is very clean and quiet. Very easy to get to with beach access directly across the street and Publix a few blocks away. Many shopping stops along the island with easy transportation via the free Trolly or the Monkey Bus, just tip them. We had no trouble with the facility and were able to make new friends. We loved going to the beach every day, but the pool was nice as well. We wanted a low key, relaxing vacation and that is exactly what we enjoyed. I would recommend this facility for any small group. We hope to be back! Thank you for a great stay.

Amazing property
We had an amazing vacation. Property is in a great, convenient location just across the street from the beach. Condo was clean, comfortable, and very nice. The only thing I could possibly complain about was it had very uncomfortable living room furniture. But the limited amount if time spent in it made it not really a thing. I will reserve again. Thank you!!

Beach days
Location is great, just across from the beach. Stayed closer to condo this year because of civic concerns. Cliff and Jo-el were easy to communicate with and attentive to needs. The only minus for us was the living room furniture was not good for our bad backs, but the bed was great! Our friends had never been to AMI before and couldn't get over the beautiful white sand and so many beaches. They biked around the island on a tandem for their week. Completely relaxing and a wonderful month for us.

Perfect girls getaway
We loved the condo! It was just what we wanted for a relaxing beach girlfriends getaway to combat the Ohio winter blues. We stayed a week. The location was great, just walked across the street to the beach and had close access to the free trolley. Also loved the pool area and parking. Overall, just about perfect!

Beautiful beach
We absolutely loved our stay on Anna Maria Island. It was our first time here and we will be back! Beautiful beaches and friendly people. The beach was such an easy walk across the street and the pool was great to come back to in the evening! It had everything we needed for a perfect relaxing beach vacation!

My family of four loved the island, the condo location, and the information about local restaurants provided by the renter. It provided all of the amenities we were looking for. The beach is literally just across the street and beautiful!! No need to worry about parking. The pool and patio were great for morning coffee and evening beverages. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great location, comfortable stay, love the pool!
We had a great stay. Perfect location just across the street from the beach. We really enjoyed the heated pool as well and it was so nice to have a bathroom by the pool! An oversight on MY part was that there isn’t a tub, just a shower, and the pressure was too strong for my young kids. We had a small issue and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The place was comfortable for our family of 4 and we would return again!

Love AMI
