Overall experience
This was our first time at Anna Maria Island. We enjoyed our stay but probably will not return. The parking is an issue even with a golf cart, the private properties limit access to areas. There are very view public accesses to the beach. Kiwi Cabana was nice but did not accommodate. 5 guests for an entire week Sheets and blankets were limited as well as household products. This property could make things more comfortable to vacationers

Tropical paradise
What an awesome beachy cottage ... loved the vibe from the walkway entering the property all the way to the back with the tropical foliage surrounding the pool. Loved our time in AMI. The Kiwi Cabana was home away from home for us. The master suite was super spacious and a cool oasis from long hot days. Guest room suited our two older children just fine. Having our own pool just out the back step with a unique design (not a boring circle or rectangle shape) spoiled us for all future vacations. Distance to the beach was not too far either, just a few blocks away. Appreciated the use of the beach accessories such as 4 chairs and a wagon. The street and neighboring homes were very quiet too. Thanks for a great time!
