One of the best

We usually stay in bigger houses with more family so we were a little worried about staying in a smaller home. Let me tell you this was one of if not the best we've stayed at. One review said its bigger than it looks in the pictures and that is very true. Would stay here again.

Great house and great vacation

Oh man, what a great trip we had! We have been coming to Anna Maria Island for years due to my family living in Bradenton, but this is only our second time actually staying on the island! We loved the location of this home. It was very centrally located and for us it was great because we were in the middle of all of our favorite places. The little Beach House is so cute and charming. Very, very clean, which is a very big standard of mine. Something really big for me as I have a four-year-old little girl who loves to run around and play on the floor, the floors were about as spotless as they could get. We loved the pool, it’s the perfect size. And something that I just thought was really cute was all the cabinet hardware is different sea creatures. My husband even said we would definitely come back and stay at this house!

Favorite Family Vacation!!

Island Vibe 6 is the perfect AMI property! The location is a perfect midway spot to access all of the island. The home is darling and appointed so well and even better in person! Every detail is considered to make our stay just wonderful! If I had a question or needed anything Cathy responded immediately and even ran over a couple fishing poles and pickleball paddies for us to use! Our teen sons had a blast catching a fish on Rod and Reel Pier with them! The pickleball court is new and just 2 min away right next to the dog park which was also convenient for our pup. We rented a golf cart which I highly recommend and just plugged it in in the driveway. So convenient and fun!! Having our own pool to cool off in after the beach and watch TV while floating was just awesome! A big hit with the teens!! This was our first ever family vacation to AMI and it won’t be our last! We are already making plans to stay at Island Vibe 6B next year! Thank you, Cathy and Sarah!!

Beautiful island, terrific rental!

We had an excellent stay at Island Vibe 6. The owner, Cathy, was absolutely wonderful to work with. No problems at all with check in or check out. The home was spotlessly clean and decorated perfectly for a cute little beach cottage. We enjoyed the backyard so much. Had breakfast by the pool every morning. The pool was clean and at a nice temperature. There’s even a TV outside in the backyard and we had a movie night under the stars. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood and is an easy 10 minute walk to a gorgeous beach. I would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone and we hope to visit again someday!

Peaceful oasis in a great location

This property offers peaceful, serene outdoor pool and patio space with plenty of privacy. The entire home was well stocked and every detail considered. The home is near many local restaurants and stores and within walking distance of the beach. Cathy, the owner left a beautiful note and was responsive and easy to work with. A perfect stay at a beautiful well-appointed home.

Amazing communication, immaculately clean

We had a great stay on our first trip to AMI. The house is a short 5-7 minute walk to a beautiful stretch of sandy beach and was also nicely situated in the middle of the island, just a few steps to the northbound trolley stop. The unit was immaculate, just as other reviewers mentioned. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of bath and beach towels. Since the weather wasn’t quite hot enough for the beach, we were happy to have the heated pool (although it would have been perfect at 1-2 degrees warmer) Communication was efficient and clear and our lovely host generously accommodated our arrival and departure times. Looking forward to a return trip to AMI when it’s warmer. Thank you for the hospitality!

Great location, excellent property

We really enjoyed our stay of 9 nights in August. The property felt bigger than we expected from the photos. It was spotlessly clean and very nicely furnished / decorated. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed and the grill out back was also great to cook on and then enjoy eating in the outside area. Lots of places to sit or lay outside to enjoy the sun along with plenty of shade if needed. Short walk to the beach with all the items to take to the beach provided. We wanted a place where you could walk to bars and restaurants and we were not disappointed. The property is in a quiet neighbourhood so best of both worlds. Enjoyed Duffy's which is low key and hurricane hanks. We used the free trolley to travel to other restaurants so only really needed our car to go off island. The host was excellent, great communication and answered any questions promptly. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

5 stars all around!!

Wanted a relaxing trip with a friend to get a break from our busy lives. This rental was the perfect place to do it!!! From the beginning Sara was so fantastic with communication. We were able to check in a little earlier which we were so excited about and thankful for the accommodation. The rental itself was so much better in person! It was much larger than we thought and the pool was so secluded. We were able to just relax and enjoy. We will definitely be renting here again, thank you Sara!!!

We had a mix up on (our end not mgt) checking in and Sara could not have been more accommodating. We loved the heated private pool and the short walk to beach.

Perfect 1st AMI experience!

We loved our stay at AMI. The house was comfortable and felt like home. I have nothing but good things to say. The beach was a short distance from the house, the pool was great, the trolley stop was steps away, and several restaurants within walking distance. Quick trolley ride to all the hot spots - Pine, Bridge, Bean, and even Publix. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for your kind hospitality, Sara.

Wonderful property

An absolutely lovely property in a great location. Photos don’t do it justice. Very clean with every little thing you could need thought of. Unfortunately we had an issue with the pool heater but Sara was quick to sort. We used the free AMI trolley and there’s a bus stop at the end of the road. 5 mins walk to the beach and a 5 mins drive for groceries. Everyone we met were friendly and the island has a great vibe. We can’t wait to revisit!
