Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family loved our week at this lovely beach home, an older house that has been thoughtfully remodeled. Gorgeous views of the bay from the living room and kitchen! Back deck has plenty of space to lay out in the sun. The sea wall is near the deck, and the beach area is rocky with about 6 feet to water during day. At night, water covers rocks and laps up to sea wall…beautiful and peaceful.My teenage daughter and her friend enjoyed having their own space in the upstairs loft bedroom with its en suite bath. Husband and I found the primary bedroom to be spacious and very comfortable. Third BR went unused but is very nice as well. Practical points: —Kitchen has plenty of dishes, glasses, mugs, serving bowls, utensils, plastic food storage containers, etc. Standard drip coffee maker. Electric water boiler (great for tea and coffee press; bring your own press if that is your thing.) —Second refrigerator in garage, perfect for extra drinks —Beach gear stored in garage: 2 wagons, 2 umbrellas, at least 6 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards, and lots of pool noodles and sand toys! —For full beach experience, we walked about 4-5 blocks along North Shore Drive to one of the access points for Bean Point Beach. Street parking (for car or golf cart) is limited. We found it was about as quick to walk. —Anna Maria Life rental company was super responsive when we had a small clog in the garbage disposal. They sent someone out same day. Wonderful home! We hope to return! ![View from kitchen dining nook](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0c54a5f5-6b72-40ad-84e1-42cdbfc6aee1-1755877819311.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lori F.

Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Anna Maria Island where your memory lasts a lifetime This home had everything we needed. Kids loved double bunk beds, if you have kids, upstairs of the home is kids only zone and their shower was better then mine downstairs. Kitchen area was small but big enough for basic use, just watch you head when you are clocking, vent is low. I waa glad Master Bedroom was downstairs, it never got too hot. Although most homes like to control temp of inside, this one did not, we kept home cool for the entire stay. Due to recent storms and water leaves, beach area was small in afternoon unexisting in early day hrs but this didnt bother our kids, you can walk further down and beach was 3 houses down if you want to set out chairs. Next door home is currently undergoing renovation, hopefully they will be finsihed soon. One thing I did not like is lack or privacy. Other side of home is open beach access to public that was busy all the time, night and day. During day, people would walk by and stare if we were upfront or patio, would try to set up chairs on wall despite the sign that states its private property and there was no trespassing. Living room area is mildly hidden by a screened-in patio, during the day was fine but at night, lack of blinds or privacy film on widows left us feeling exposes and felt like we were displayed to folks that were walking by accessing beach from the street or going on to street from the beach area. Management was amazing. Booking process, payment, checking in and out, effortless.

We cooked several meals there and had everything we needed. Bonus fridge in the garage for extra drinks. The house is located right next to public access for the beach, so there were many days that strangers, and even a unleashed dog, walked onto the property, even though a sign says no trespassing on sea wall. Perhaps a small fence or chain, or landscaping would help keep it more private. You can walk to many shops on Pine Ave. Dips was our favorite ice cream place. ##### Lisa P.

House was decent but no obvious renovations for decades and could use some work. Missing some ammenities that tyou wouls expect at this price point, like chaise lounge chairs, trash bags, paper products, spices (not even salt and pepper). That being said, we still had a great time. It would have neen better if we knew what it didn't have ...We would rent again and come prepared. ##### Ted & Debbie E.

Location on the Beach on the beautiful North End of the island absolutely ideal. Breakfast room looking out over ocean and spacious screened porch on the ocean were wonderful. Unfortunately the house has been very poorly maintained and not that well cleaned. Lots of details coming loose and in disrepair. Did not feel or smell clean.

Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Great beach but uncomfortable This property is well located on the north shore of AMI facing the inside of Tampa Bay. Lovely water to swim, see dolphins, proximity to shops and restaurants and other beaches. However, the inside amenities are few- kitchen, furniture and beds outdated and uncomfortable. Make sure to bring or plan to buy all necessary cooking items such as foil, paper towel, napkins, detergent, sponge. Towels were ample, but a challenge to cook on stove, burners slanted. Refrigerator freezer does not keep items frozen. No ice so buy. No laying place in living area. Furnishings are limited and uncomfortable. Linens and towels were ample and clean. Great location and dog friendly ##### Edwina K. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leena B.

Location, location, location. This house is right on the beach! Small beach but perfect for family with little kids. We can sit on the deck and watch the kids play in the water or sand. They can rest at any time without us dragging all our gear home. All of us enjoyed the beach and water!! The cons would be the broken dryer. We used their massive bushes by the deck. The response from property management was immediate. Unfortunately a part was needed for the machine and we were leaving the next day so the next visitors would have a working machine. A few minor things need repair but the property managers were made aware and are fixing those items. All in all it was a lovely time with my family and we would rent this place again. ##### Leena B.

Mornings were spent leisurely sipping our coffee either in the pretty breakfast nook or out on the deck to watch the sunrise. After breakfast we’d take the short golf cart ride over to Bean Point Beach to float in the most gorgeous, clear water we’ve ever seen, stateside. After cleaning up and having a light lunch, we read or watched a little tv then napped…usually to a little rain shower. We spent so much time watching the ships coming under the bridge. We even saw dolphins swimming by one afternoon! We tried a new restaurant each day for an early dinner. On our last night we grilled steaks and shrimp at home. The kitchen was well-equipped in order to do so. Evenings were spent either enjoying the breeze from the bay on the deck or taking a ride around the island in the golf cart. This home is pet-friendly so our dog Mabel was with us and she had a blast watching all the pelicans and other birds you don’t see in Arkansas. So many exciting new sights and sounds for her to explore in the neighborhood during her walks. This is a residential area of the island so it’s incredibly peaceful and quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for. We visited with the neighbors next door a couple of times. Betty and Kenny are a lovely couple who’ve lived on AMI for the past 40 years! Ship Watch looked exactly as photographed. It’s decorated beautifully and it was the perfect vacation getaway for us. ##### Dede P.
