Spring Break with the Boys
I booked spring break here with my son and three of his best friends! I was looking forward to a spring break with these junior boys, and it did not disappoint! I personally stayed in the main level and the boys were all upstairs. It was a perfect house for our group. The teenagers had just enough of their own space to get alone time, but also it was easy to hang out together and play cards sit at the pool grill out and make big breakfast for all of the boys some nights. I would have six of the boys over and three adult friends, and there was more than enough room in the house for all of us.. The house was very well taken care of. I interacted with Anna the owner multiple times for different reasons and she was attentive and kind. I met her and her husband and they were amazing.!! Everything in the house is very well taken care of and clean. I ordered Instacart from Publix the first day and then again on the second and third day and everything came fast. This part of the island is further from downtown where I like to stay so we used our golf cart every day.! The house is a short walk to the beach and the view is stunning!!!I recommend everything about this house from the pool to the hot tub, the shaded area for the boys who sunburned easily the outdoor grilling area where we could watch the national championship games and the two large common tables for us to play poker and eat together.overall 10 out of 10 perfect house-perfect hosts and the perfect vacation! Thank uo

Perfect Way to Get Away
Emeralds Seas was perfect for our extended family. Anna did an amazing job making repairs and getting the property ready after the hurricanes. She was forward and honest with all communication prior to our trip and she was available for questions and help during our stay. Our favorite spot was the salt water pool - - perfect shallow landing for the 3yo and 1yo, with attached hot tub for the adults (of course, not when the children were in the pool). . . easy access to the beach with supplied beach cart to move chairs and umbrellas and toy. Having bedrooms with separate bathrooms was a plus. Well stocked kitchen and house.I highly recommend Emerald Seas

Amazing July 4th Week
This house was just as listed. Large open kitchen, large bedrooms, well stocked all around. Excellent size and spacious for our 2 families (total of 10 people). The pool was excellent and it being shaded was key after some full sun hours on the beach each day.
Owner was excellent to communicate with throughout the whole process. Very responsive and super helpful and accommodating! The location was perfect with the beach access at the end of the street. First trip to AMI and we will definitely come again for sure!

We were a family of 11 and totally enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful! Well maintained and clean. Plenty of towels, soaps and other household item. The pool and outside area is magnificent. The kitchen is well equipped. The host responded to our questions quickly. We gave it a 5 out of 5 stars for everything except location only because our personal

Everything You Need
Emerald Seas is a gorgeous luxury accommodation and is well- stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. So many small details- like extra hooks in every bathroom; 2 ice makers in the fridge; plenty of glasses, plates, silverware, kitchen towels, pots and pans, etc for a large group; and beach and pool equipment. There were also many baby items that we noticed, even though we did not need to use them. Our family had a fabulous stay here!

Family Vacation!
We had a lovely family vacation. Would have liked a little warmer weather but the pool was heated so the kids didn’t care. We rented a wagon to pull the toddlers to the beach. If you have little ones, would recommend renting a wagon to take them and the beach toys to the beach. The beach was beautiful and the kids loved building sand castles. The location and the house were just amazing! Anna Maria Island is lovely! Would highly recommend for a family vacation. Had a great time and would come back.

BEST FAMILY BEACH VACATION!!!
Everything about this property was an amazing fit for our family. The house, the location to the beach and the amenities that were included were more than we could ask for. We had eight adults and three children in our group and everyone had their own space. The house was laid out great, well equipped and very clean. We cooked, grilled, had pool time daily and had everything we needed for the beach right there at the house. AMI is the perfect place for families and we would absolutely stay in this house again. Good mattresses too. Not disappointed with anything and the pictures were an accurate representation of what you get. Worth every penny for the lifetime of memories that were made here!

Wonderful Family Vacation
We stayed a week at Anna’s home on Anna Maria Island with our children and grandchildren. It was a wonderful week and Anna’s home was the perfect place to be. The home is beautiful with many amenities. The kitchen is very well-equipped with everything we needed and the outdoor grilling area was an added plus. The pool and entire outdoor area were fabulous and our grandchildren hardly wanted to leave the pool to go to the beach. It was a short walk to the beach and everything we needed for the beach was available at the home. This is a very well-kept, lovely place to stay with plenty of room for everyone. Any questions I had were promptly answered by Anna. Much attention and detail have gone into making this a perfect vacation home.

Perfect Location!
My family of 9 (6 adults, 3 kids) came for a family Vacation and absolutely LOVED IT! The house was amazing, had everything fully stocked that we needed, tons of pool and beach toys, and everything you need for the beach!
The location of the house was perfect! Directly in the middle of the island and close to everything, especially the beach. Only 2 blocks away about a 5 minute walk!!!
The only down fall is the time of year we came the pool didn’t get much sun. However, it didn’t bother us because the beach was so close and we loved it there! Would highly recommend this house to stay at! We would love to come back!!
