Ernesto was a pleasure to host Great base on Anna Maria to explore the island. The beach and the bike path are right across the street and the town is just a short walk away.

We hope to host you again in the future! We had an amazing stay at this beautiful 7-bedroom home in Bradenton Beach, near Anna Maria Island. It is perfect for large families and group gatherings, we even celebrated Christmas there, and it was unforgettable. The location is excellent, just steps from the beach. From the rooftop, you can enjoy both sunrise and sunset with stunning views of the ocean and bay. The home is spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped, featuring a heated pool, games for kids, ping pong, mini golf, beach chairs, and beach towels. Everything was spotless and well organized, from the kitchen to the bedrooms, bathrooms, linens, and towels. The rooms and bathrooms are large and very comfortable. Having washers and dryers on each floor was extremely convenient. Great restaurants, ice cream shops, and beautiful sunset spots are nearby. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Jeremy was a pleasure to host! Stayed for my son’s baseball tournament for the weekend and had a great time. Right across the street Fromt he beach which was awesome and the outside area of the house was a great place to hang out as well! House was very clean and well put together! Spacious rooms with big bathrooms!

It was a pleasure hosting Troy! We hope to host them again in the future! Including me and my wife, we had a crew of thirteen children, spouses and grandchildren. The home easily accommodated all of us. The table tennis, foosball, air hockey, shuffleboard, putting green, pool and jacuzzi were a hit with everyone. The pool alarm sensor fell off the pool access door in the middle of the first night setting off the alarm and waking everyone up. We were able to disable it and contacted AMI to come fix it the next day. They responded within a few hours, and got it reinstalled with a temporary fix and the sensor fell off again while we were there. From the looks of it, the alarm has had previous issues. I think AMI needs to acquire a better solution. Thankfully, we didn’t have any small children with us or I would’ve been nervous about them getting out to the pool area unsupervised. All in all the home met or exceeded all of our needs. Would rent again if we return to Bradenton Beach.

Our three children and families came to celebrate our 50th anniversary. With seven bedrooms and baths, it was a perfect fit. We enjoyed the pool, and the "hot tub" when we remembered to turn it on in advance. It will also shut off at intervals so keep your eyes on it. The beach is a half block away and there are beach chairs, towels, and wagons to pull everything to the beach. It is a short walk to the shops and restaurants at Bridge Street and we only used our vehicle for supplies and a couple outings. There were days when the kids lived by the pool, and there was plenty of room for the adults to have some great conversations. The kitchen was easy to use for cooking a number of meals throughout the week. This will be a trip our children and our grandchildren will long remember. Every sunset was greeted either on the roof or the beach. Now for my beef with this property.I do have a problem with a beautiful 7 bedroom property that cost us a significant amount that cheaped us out in everything else. My kids laughed when we opened the Welcome box to find 2 dishwasher pods. We had 1 roll of paper towels, no garbage bags, no coffee filters and so on. We had to buy dishwasher pods, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, coffee filters, dish soap and more. I've never had this problem in any other VRBO that we have rented. Very annoying and cheap. Be prepared.

Bryan, was a pleasure to host! Great place for large group

It was wonderful for a big group. We all had a really nice weekend. It is not stocked for meal prep (ie - salt and pepper) but overall great stay.

We had an amazing time in Bradenton Beach. The house was beautiful, big spaces, great amenities, calm neighborhood, and steps away from the beach. The only thing to keep in mind is that there's lots of stairs in the house, not recommended for people with limited mobility, I wish we had been aware of that since the beginning... other than that the house is amazing!

Peter was a pleasure to host!

The house was very nice and spacious for our family. Pretty clean but small roaches in kitchen cabinets. They were doing sewage work in front of the house, so there was no access to house via car. We had to park in a lot a couple of blocks away. Very inconvenient. There were working on the sewer each day, and it was noisy. We had to make many calls to get pool serviced. Rental agents insisted that it had been serviced on Monday, but we knew it hadn’t. It took 3 trips to completely service the pool, and the cleaning was finally completed late Thursday afternoon. They advertise the house as being 6000 sq ft which is inaccurate. The lot is 6000 sq ft - not the house. This is not the first time that a house size has been inaccurately advertised. I paid almost 17k for this house and feel that rental agents could have been more accommodating- especially because we had no access to house via car. I feel like a portion of my money should have been refunded.

House and location was wonderful. Definitely would stay again. The house was very well equipped with beach towels, chairs, wagons etc. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable. Great family beach vacation!
