Perfect First Visit to Anna Maris

Wanting something very different from bustling, high rise beach towns, my family chose Anna Maria Island and it did not disappoint! The apartment is very convenient to the Cortez Bridge and a few restaurants and a gas station. Walk out the front door and a 3 minute walk to the right gets you to a quiet beach perfect for sunny days and catching the gorgeous sunsets. A 5 minute walk to the left, takes you to the quiet Bayside, where you can watch the sunrise. The apartment itself was quiet, clean, and very cute. For a family of four, including 2 kids, it had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shared backyard pool and the quiet, walkable neighborhood. No steps made it ideal for hauling gear to the beach and easily accessing the outdoor shower to rinse off sandy feet. I appreciated the on-site, washer and dryer, laundry baskets for collecting and transporting laundry, and little touches such as night, lights, and many hooks for towels both in and outside the unit.Highly recommend!

Beautiful Beach Getaway

This condo is perfect for a stay at Bradenton Beach. It is directly across the street from a beautiful white sand beach and has a pool located in the back of the property. Jill was a wonderful host and very attentive to any and all of our needs. She kept an open line of communication should we have needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great vacation stay!

The property was in a perfect location. We loved that end of the island and the few short steps to the beach! The cottage was adorable and so very comfortable for all of us to relax in the evenings and rainy afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home (bring your own groceries ), it was super clean and Jill was a fantastic owner/manager to communicate with. We will be back!

Great spot for a family trip

Jill was very communicative and helpful when needed. The property is in a great location for beach access (right across the street) and within walking distance of multiple restaurants/bars. Good amount of room for a family of four. You do share the pool area with a couple of other units and the pool isn't very big but we didn't swim much and the temporary "neighbors" we talked to were nice so these weren't a negative for us. Great time overall.

Nice Little Beach Condo

Exactly as described and pictured. No surprises. Very nice little beach condo with two bedrooms and one bath. Greatly appreciated the cubbies in each room for organizing our items. Located just across the street from the beach. The pool is small, but we had it to ourselves here and there and even when shared, it is only a few condos total that share it (4 I think). Not many places on AMI with pools, so it was nice to have. There is a lovely spa/massage place right across the street as well which is really nice. Jill was very communicative and helpful. The washer was not working, but there were plenty of towels for our short stay. The only real negative is there is no dishwasher and guests are asked to wash dishes themselves. The guests before us must have just rinsed things and put them back because all the dishes were dirty. The coffee mugs had rings of old coffee in them. This was pretty gross and the reason for the 3 stars for cleanliness. Everything else was clean and organized.

My first time on AMI - So happy i chose to stay here! Clean, cute, quiet place with everything you need and more. Owner is very communicative and very responsive- she made sure we had everything we needed and were happy. Access to an uncrowded, white sand beach is just steps away. Publix is just down the road and the free island shuttle stop is also practically in front of the door. I am very happy to have found this little gem, it was a very peaceful little getaway, i will certainly be back!

This was my first trip to AMI and I’m so glad I chose this property to stay in. Nicely remodeled, comfy bed, and well laid-out. We were thrilled with the proximity to the beach, it’s seriously a one-minute walk. Pool was warm enough to get in and the patio was enjoyable too.
