Quaint secluded place

Nice and well appointed place to stay for my wife and I on a short visit to AMI. The location to the beach was excellent. The only issue was the shower head water pressure was super low but we managed :) We had a terrific stay and recommended the property!!

Great location, just a block from the Gulf of Mexico beach and a couple blocks from Pine St. with restaurants and shops. Small space but good for 2 people and nicely updated interior. Loved the access to the canal and kayaks. We would stay again!

A pretty and quaint location, right on the canal

Fantastic little Anna Maria location, perfect for couples. Equidistant from the beaches on either side of the island, both within walking distance. The property is well equipped with all essential amenities, and even has a comfy bed!

Everything you need in a small space. We explored the canals and bay on kayaks provided, fished off the dock and walked 1 block to beach. Comfortable and quality furnishings. There was even a beach cart and 2 beach chairs. Would stay again!

Perfect location, setting, and amenities

This place is great for a couple or even couples if each rents one of the 4 units on the property. Everything was top notch - clean, top of the line equipment (rare in vacation rentals), the hammock, swing, tables outside - we even had friends over for a BBQ. The best is the location : 2 minute walk to the beach and it's on the canal. We kayaked from the house through the mangroves to the gulf - it's amazing!

Location was great

Super easy access to beach. Backed up on the water and very quiet with privacy. Walkable to all the shops and eateries. Probably needs better signage for unit locations. I had no idea where #5 was when we first drove up.

Nothing lacking

From the time we arrived we were very impressed. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay was right there, from the great unit that we rented, to the beautiful dock out the back door, to the kayaks there for our use. A 3 minute walk to the beach and many things to see and do. Serenity Cove was the perfect name for this place.
