Wonderful Vacation in AMI

The property was very nice and well kept. The house was exactly as showed, and we enjoyed our time there. The location is great, and the pool was nice and warm! Our only issue was the comfort of the mattress. It was not that comfortable. It felt as if it dipped in the middle. It would receive 5 stars if the mattress was replaced.

Great Vacation Rental

The location was great for the price. We rented it becasue of the privacy it provided and only 2 blocks from the beach. They have everything you need to enjoy the private saltwater pool or the beach. A wagon, sand toys for the kids, beach umbrella, cooler, floaties and chairs!! The property was very nice and clean. It has 1 king bed and a fold out couch. We also enjoyed having the TV outside in the covered area. Managment answered our phone calls right away if we had any questions. We definately plan to come back soon!

Vacation

The property was very nice and clean. Close to the beach and various restaurants. Our only complaint is the WIFI wasn't working. We called just about every day from Saturday and it finally got fixed on Wednesday. We couldn't work on our laptops or watch tv for long as it would spin and go out. The one guy who came to check it said it was that we brought our own modem. Have no idea why he thought that.

The house was very dated. But the main disappointments for us was the cleanliness. When we arrived we found sand all in the bed, we contacted the property manager and they made it right. The pool wasn’t clean, the other issue was the shower had mold in it. Overall experience with the property manager was good, but the house definitely needs some attention.

Loved AMI and our vacation stay at AMI Sand Dollar B!

This was our first time in AMI and we loved everything about it, including our stay at Sand Dollar B. The home was perfect for us and is perfectly situated, a minute walk to beautiful beaches, a 10-minute walk to restaurants and shops and easy access to everything else you could want or need. The home was relaxing, clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful week. This is a great home for singles, couples and families, too. The pool is sparkling, the living/entertaining spaces inside and out are comfortable and plentiful and the kitchen had everything we needed. In addition, the service we received from the Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals team was outstanding and we truly appreciated the quick responses to every question and all they did to make our stay even better! All around a great place to stay. Thank you, we'll be back!

Another great trip to AMI

4.5 stars. Second time renting with Anna Maria Life - they do a great job, really like the rental company. We also really love Anna Maria Island have been several times and it feels like a second home. This duplex is wonderful! Prefect for our family of 4 and our dog. Unit was sparkling clean except bathroom - time for a new shower curtain and deep clean - everything else was perfectly clean. Loved the private pool, loved the outdoor seating area (tv would take this to the next level of outdoor entertainment) but it is still the perfect area to break from the sun. I hate to even critique this place because it really was perfect so take any suggestions here as just that from a seasoned vacationer. Had an amazing 2 weeks stay - since we did stay longer than a week having a laundry basket would have been nice, having a couple extra pillows on king bed would have been good. Would definitely book this same place again. It was close enough to beach, shops and restaurants to walk to whatever you needed. Thanks owners for a great place!!

Memorable!

We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful property. The pool was wonderful after a day at the beach. The beach is such a close walk or a 1 minute bike ride. The bedrooms were perfect for our family of 4. The owners are so thoughtful to have a cart and chairs for the beach. We absolutely cannot wait to come back!
