Our original AMI home is much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators.

Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.

The views of the beach and the bay were amazing. Just a few short steps to both! The pool was amazing! The house had everything we needed. Love the bed and shower! Rex was great to communicate with about everything and responded promptly. Would definitely stay here again!

Location was perfect to everything we needed. We rented the upstairs and friends rented the lower level. We all loved the pool area and how close we were to the beach and Bridge Street. Highly recommended renting with friends or large families!

This is the third year our family stayed in Anna Maria. We chose this home because of the location and amenities. It truly is steps from the beach or the bay and we were able to walk everywhere including Bridge Street for shopping and restaurants. We only got on the free bus once to visit the North end of the island - check out the Sandbar Restaurant if you go! Sunsets and sunrises all week long and the pool and hot tub were perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. Rex was a great host! Five stars plus one!
