Construction zone

We arrived on a Saturday evening. The exterior of the condo is old and not well maintained. My kids asked if we were staying in an abandoned building. Lol. Check in went fine. The condo unit is on the smaller size, but it was clean, somewhat updated and had everything we needed. The view is amazing from the balcony and from the master bedroom. Then starting Monday, everything went terribly. Monday through Friday…the rest of our stay…construction started at 8 am and never stopped until 4 pm at least. There was a crane outside of the master bedroom beeping non stop. There were painters right outside of the guest room at 8 am playing music and talking loudly. We could not sit on the balcony, sit in the condo or even use the pool from 8-4 from constant beeping and multiple pressure washers going all at the same time. I didn’t want my kids going back and forth from the beach with workers all over the place and right outside of hallways. I am not exaggerating when I say it was loud and a complete mess. I contacted AMI with daily pictures and videos. Cheryl did absolutely nothing about it. We booked this place 2 weeks prior. They knew this was going on and still allowed us to stay there. They called the week before saying that there were painters but they would be done on the day we arrived. Nope. They aren’t even close to being done. We got one relaxing day in the unit. One day. That’s it from a Saturday to Saturday stay. They should have moved us to another place. do not stay here

Wow! This was the closest to the Beach we have ever stayed …literally steps. Mom is almost 80 and had no trouble getting to the beach. Sitting on the balcony felt like we were on the beach without the sand! Pool is nice and so clean. Loved it so much we booked next year. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Condo & Great Location

My husband and I rented this cute condo for a much needed week of rest, relaxation, and sun. The condo was very clean and was appointed with everything we needed. The only hiccup we had was the internet password was changed and we were given the old one in our check-in email however that was just a quick phone call and was straightened out in minutes. We loved the view from the porch overlooking the gulf. Sunsets were beautiful. We would definitely go back again.

AMI Family Getaway

This was out first time staying at AMI. It is such a beautiful little island. We loved the condo. It had everything we needed and more. It is nearly footsteps from the beach. The only downside I saw was you are right next to the public beach access area so be prepared for it to be pretty busy on some days. The condo was very low key and not busy at all. Some days we had the pool all to ourselves. We rented a golf cart to cruise around Anna Maria Island each evening. We were able to park our rental car and golf cart in our alloted spot. The only thing we could not figure out was how to work the television in the first bedroom. I emailed the property rental company and they said a technician would be out to fix it, but we never did figure out how to turn it on and access cable. Minor issue for a wonderful rental. We will definitely be back!

This was our 4th summer going to AMI, and this property was by far our favorite! The views from the master bedroom and living room/balcony can’t be beat. This unit is steps from the sand and also very central on the island. It was very clean and well-stocked. It had everything we needed to truly enjoy our vacation!
