The Serenity Beach Home was a great house, beautifully decorated, in a fantastic location on a beautiful island. We have stayed in various homes on Anna Maria and this was truly the most family friendly. It is decorated both comfortably and yet beautifully. The bedrooms are all comfortable, the kitchen has a great layout for multiple people to cook at the same time. I love how many areas open to the outside. Between multiple windows and doors the house is bright and cheerful. It's a great house for couples as it has four bedrooms with king size beds. The fifth bedroom has three twins and shares a bath with one of the king rooms. There is also a room right off the family room with a day bed with trundle. Plenty of space. The pool area is fantastic and when we were having a problem with the heat someone from AMI was there in minutes. We walked to restaurants and stores with ease. I suggest also renting a golf cart if there for ease of getting around the island and also because it is easier to find a space that fits a golf cart than a car when shopping or dining at high traffic times. There is a dock on the canal and friends came in from St. Petersburg by boat so the dock was truly a wonderful feature for us. The only negative (and it does not come close to touching the positives) is that the house feels like a rental. As if there are no owners that stay there to check the little things. It was obvious that the people that stayed before us had moved some of the outdoor furniture around so it was a mix and match on all levels of the patios and decks, We tried to straighten it out knowing this would be a lot of carrying for the housekeeper on her own. You can tell that renters have left things behind and they get incorporated into the decor. The furniture in some areas was a bit worn or stained (dining room chairs, outdoor cushions). None of these things seem out of character for a rental but sometimes when an owner is there more frequently the house feels a bit more like a home. Overall, this is a home I would absolutely come back to visit again and again!!!

Very happy memories for all the family of all ages

Very easy process and AMI locals were fantastic! Would highly recommend renting this property for a fabulous beach getaway!

House was exactly as advertised. Great house in a great location. We plan to come again.

Well maintained, home stayed cool, pool was clean and numerous places to relax. However, the only 3 pans in the draw were disgusting with food & rust on them. Not good to find when you go to cook breakfast and cannot. Steve at AMI took excellent care of us as soon as we told him. Back with new pans in 7 minutes!! Couches are exceptionally comfortable sadly the beds were not. Showers are wonderful with excellent pressure. Plenty of lovely nooks to nap and a wonderful view of canal. I would highly recommend this rental. For the foodies! Must give 5 stars to Island Grill....THE BEST takeout food we have ever had! For those that rise early for breakfast..not many places open early so plan to cook or try Rod & Reel!!

Awesome house. My kids loved the pool. Great for families and great location on the island. Must see!!

We enjoyed 4 short days at Anna maria Island. First time there and we loved everything about it!! Publix is located very conveniently, beach is only 2-3 blocks away. the house has everything you might need and it was beautiful. Pristine clean, the pool has all the gadgets for kids, TVs with netflix, great wifi for teenagers. We loved it and look forward to go back!! thanks Andrea for all the details. We highly recommend it

We had a WONDERFUL stay at Serenity Beach House. The property is very well furnished and maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing off the dock and enjoying the pool/spa. The hot tub was nice and HOT on those cool nights! We even had a heron visitor come check on us every day which the kids loved. Ashley was very responsive in communicating prior to check in and we very much appreciated her help! We will 100% come back. Loved this home!

What a beautiful home! We had a wonderful time. Hope we are able to stay there again. Ashley did a wonderful job fulfilling our every need.

Beautiful home and so convenient to everything, travel, shopping, beach, trolley and restaurants. Twelve women who had the space and opportunity to do whatever we chose to do. I would be thrilled to be able to return at another time.

A beautiful home, spotlessly clean! The swimming pool was so relaxing and the location was perfect.... a short walk to the Ocean and spending some quality time on the beautiful sandy beach, watching the waves roll in! I give this home a 5 Star rateing!! Beautiful inside and out!!! The home was spotlessly clean and the property was very well maintained. I would recomment this home to anyone who might be considering renting .....we loved our stay and were very pleased with all the accomadations.

I felt like I was in a five star hotel, but it all belonged to me! Fantastic time. Loved every minute of my stay. Amenities were fabulous!

This property is spectacular! My family and had the absolute best time making forever memories here. There was more than enough room for our large group and we loved that there was room upstairs, as well as down stairs (shaded) for us to gather. Restaurants and beaches are walking distance too! We can't wait to stay again!

This home has it all! Plenty of parking, plenty of seating inside & out, spacious bedrooms, separate areas for kids & adults, clean, well-maintained, spacious kitchen that is fully stocked, large patio area (plenty of shade & sunning areas) and a quick walk to Pine Avenue for shopping, dining, etc. My favorite part was that it is on a canal, so we were able to enjoy going out on the boat during our stay. This is the perfect home for a family gathering, our family of 14 had a wonderful time together but also felt like we had our own space. Ashley was fantastic! She was very responsive and extremely helpful throughout the entire booking process & during our stay. I highly recommend this home & AMI Locals!!!

We had an absolute wonderful time staying at this house. It accommodated our large family of 14 (10 adults and 4 children) perfectly! We only went out a few times to eat and stayed at the house the rest of the time. The pool and pool deck is huge and really makes you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation! We would highly recommended this rental for your next trip to AMI!

First, let me just say that Ashley was fantastic to work with. I would definitely rent from AMI locals again. The house was just as pictured and was large enough for our group of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids) and there was even an extra bedroom. The pool was very large and was great at night. We fished off the dock and saw manatees too. I gave the house 4 stars because there were a few issues. I know things can happen and it was just bad luck, but these were also reasons we choose this house. There was something wrong with the sliding door that affected the air conditioner, the hot tub did not work until Thursday and there was no hot water in 2 of the 4 showers until Wednesday. Like I said Ashley was fantastic she worked on getting all these problems resolved as soon as she heard about them, but we just would not rent this house again due to so many inconveniences.

We booked this home with a total of 10 family members for our beach wedding. Looking at the pictures, we knew there would be room for everyone and not feel overcrowded at all. All I can say is "WOW" did this home deliver. We bbq'd every night, used the pool everyday and the proximity to the beach was perfect. One huge plus, all families had private bathrooms and showers. I would rebook this home in a heartbeat as it was pure fun from the moment we arrived. Ashley was incredible to work with and so responsive to questions and a few minor repairs while we were there. If you are considering Serenity Beach, don't wait to book - this house is the real deal. Dave & Carrie

The house was absolutely gorgeous! Perfect get-away.

House is beautiful and definitely on the higher end side. The only thing I was left wanting were a couple of ceiling fans on the second floor terrace. Would help with the heat and mosquitos. But it definitely would not deter me from coming back. Everything else was perfect. Ashley the host was easy to deal with.
