Our original AMI home is much easier to navigate than new-build 3-story homes on Anna Maria Island because our first floor is on the ground level and the second floor is one easy set of stairs. Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators.
Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.
Please consider bringing more family/friends to our 14 Florida Beach Homes or 8 Colorado Mountain Lodges or 4 Tennessee Lake/Country Homes on either Vrbo or the other primary platform. The number at the start are the # folks who can stay there:

Great location
Much of the listing was great. The beach- amazing. Sharing the pool with downstairs was a bit awkward at times but the pool itself was amazing. Lots of broken equipment and equipment in disrepair. Communication with owner didn’t feel friendly.

Great Location and Pool
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect for walking to the Cortez Beach and Bridge Street shops/restaurants. Coquina Beach was an easy, short drive. The pool was fantastic and my kids really enjoyed it every day. The property was clean, attractive, and plenty of room for our family of 5. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!
Location was perfect to everything we needed. We rented the upstairs and friends rented the lower level. We all loved the pool area and how close we were to the beach and Bridge Street. Highly recommended renting with friends or large families!
