Condo was outdated and had ants. Even after we called to have it sprayed there was still a lot of ants. AC in MBR was weak. Kind of stuffy. I expected more for the price.

Family vacation

This was our first time to AMI and absolutely loved it! Condo was located in a great spot to easily access north Anna Maria and Bradenton beach attractions. We highly recommend getting a golf cart. The condo was well equipped and beach was amazing! Easy walk to and from the unit to the beach. We would definitely stay at this property again. Check in process was a bit confusing because we came in at 9:00 pm and had no access codes but it was resolved quickly.

Great Location

This condo was a great find - we have never been to Anna Maria Island before so we didn't know what to expect. It was so easy to check in and enter, and the location was excellent. The unit itself is clean and kept up, and the complex itself was VERY quiet! Beautiful pool and very clean, easy-to-access beach was great to have too.
