Six reasons why you will love our Condo:
*VIEW! Wonderful views of the Mexican Gulf from the living room and master bedroom - not to mention from the roof-top terrace!
*LOCATION! Close to the beach, grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants and everyday needs. 'We really appreciate not having to use a car to buy milk. Also, with several restaurants within half a mile, it's so nice not to have to take turns driving'.
*QUIET! This Condo is on the calm stretch of Gulf Drive, with little traffic. No restaurants are so close that they will disturb you.
*BRIGHT and AIRY! Plenty of windows on three sides make it bright, fresh and welcoming.
*SPACIOUS! Ample living and sleeping space (1330 square feet, 124 square meter) make you feel like you can stretch out and relax.
*FRESH NEW LOOK! We have replaced floor surfaces in all rooms as well as updated furniture to make it a place to enjoy.
Anna Maria is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. This narrow island with its sugary white sand, does not have any high rises, in fact building codes prevent the construction of houses with more than two stories above a carport.
7 miles of white sand stretch on the west side of the island, less than 250 ft from our Condo.
There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The island's biggest grocery store and a pharmacy are also easily reached by foot. If you don't want to drive or walk, there is a free trolley driving up and down the island.
Sarasota is considered to be the 'cultural capital' of Florida with art galleries, theaters and an Opera House, and of course you have beach/sea activities, and shopping in the area.
Prime Outlet, Ellenton, a 30 min drive, is voted to be one of the 25 best factory outlets in the States, and many more stores are found closer. Busch Gardens, Tampa, is a theme park within one hour drive and our Condo is the perfect place to relax after a hectic stay in Orlando (two hours drive), the capital of amusement parks.
Welcome to a slice of paradise!

Why the Owner Chose Anna Maria
We chose Anna Maria Island because it is such a relaxed, welcoming feeling here.
When you live a busy life, this is really the place to unwind.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our condo building only has 4 units, so there's a very private feel to it.
It has views of the Gulf and a large roof-top sundeck where you can eat breakfast, watch the sun set into the warm Mexican Gulf or see fireworks on the 4th of July.
It is close to the beach, grocery store, pharmacy and several restaurants and shops. Still it's very quiet and you can hear the waves against the beach.
All the pancakes you can eat for breakfast! Nice lunch and dinner too.
Best burgers on the island in this Burger joint that's been around since Skinny started it in 1952. Still run by the family. Try their curly fries! Good selection of beers.
Largest grocery store on the island. Pool and beach attire sold in the entrance.
Lifeguards, volleyball courts, children's playground, public restrooms

We had an absolute wonderful vacation! Our 5, almost 6 year old, LOVED that she had a TV in "her" room. We were concerned about the ease and distance between the beach and the condo but we learned that it was actually closer and easier access than some condos we've stayed at which were directly on the beach! We also appreciated that the shower didn't have those sometime common water savers where the water lightly sprinkles on you :-) The decor was beautiful and the sofas very comfy! We loved our stay and definitely plan to be back!
Owner response:Yes, the beach is very close and so easy to reach! Thank you for your review and welcome back!

We had a great time on Anna Maria island October this year. This condo is perfect in location, size and decoration. On top of that, the rental agency provided an easy, fast and friendly service. This condo and AMI is a perfect match. We'd definitely recommend and will surely go back. Regards, Sylvia + Emanuel / Hamburg, Germany

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in your fine beach condo! Instead of naming all the great things about it (everything truly was!) I will just mention the only slight drawback. A pool is a huge plus for us but we had to time our use as it was consistently occupied by a larger group in an adjacent condo.
Owner response:We are so happy that you enjoyed the condo and gave it a 5 star review! After our conversation in connection with you mentioning the larger group in the adjacent condo (I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a case of cramming more people in than is allowed), I think that your reply probably is the answer: "I imagine they may have felt the same when we occupied the pool because they always waited for the two of us to leave before they came down and vice versa. The pool was awesome, I believe it was a situation of strangers giving each other space"

We really enjoyed this nice and very well kept condo! It´s nicely decorated and furnished and has a great access to the beach. It was great to come home to after a hot day on the beach and it was fantastic for our teenagers to go between the sea and the pool. It´s close to the grocery and some other small shops and restaurants. The roof terrace had a fantastic view and we enjoyed a perfect sunset although we could have used the terrace more, but for a week it´s difficult to have time for everything you want to see and enjoy. It´s our second time on Anna Maria Island and we really like this relaxed place and plan to come back in the future. We have rented quite a few houses and condos but have never stayed in a cleaner or more perfectly kept place before!
Owner response:We are so glad that you think so highly of our home, and we do agree, one week is to short for everything one wants to do on Anna Maria Island!

Third time and each year always exceeds the prior! Counting the weeks till next year! We love this apartment and it's perfect location.
Owner response:Thank you! It is our gem, and it is such pleasure to do improvements. We want it to be a second home and not just a rental. With all the positive responses we get, it gets even more rewarding!

We visited over Christmas 2010 and were very pleased with the unit. It's beautifully decorated and we appreciated the quality of the furnishings, linens and kitchen items. The location is very convenient to the beach and to shopping and restaurants. There are only 4 units in the building, so it wasn't crowded or noisy and the neighbors we met were quite friendly. The view from the rooftop deck is spectacular. It was hard to leave and we would certainly stay there again.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your review! We are glad that you feel the same way about our condo as we do :-D

Our vacation in florida this year was realy great, mainly due to your fantastic condo we stayed there for four weeks, while there, we felt totally at home, there was nothing we looked for that was not there. we also welcomed the personel touch of the owner telephoning us to make sure everything was ok. we have visited the area many times,so it was no surprise to find everything just as we remembered. the condo itself was furnished to a high standard was clean and comfortable. if you do want to improve somthing the roof terrece was in need of a little tender loving care,although we still enjoyed many hours up there reading and enjoying the sunsets. we left your condo in exelent condition with the hope to return in the future.
Owner response:Thank you for your excellent review! Just a few days after your departure, we arrived and added some furnitures to the condo. We hope that you will like it when you stay with us the next time! (I will update the pictures in our ads and website shortly) Also, we appreciate your pointer about the roof terrace. It is on the condo association's agenda. We will renovate the pool in January and at the same time replace the fence. There will also be added a new picnic area that we hope will be a place to enjoy for everyone. Welcome back!

We spent a week in this lovely location. It was very clean and spacious. (Clean is a MUST for me.) We were able to do so much; I enjoyed reading on the lanai, reading & sunning on the rooftop deck, sunning and reading by the pool. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach, which is just across the road. The water is beautiful, much like the Caribbean, very blue/green. The sand is white and clean. We enjoyed eating at several of the local restaurants, some right on the sand/beach! It is quiet compared to most beach resorts, which we enjoyed. The test is always: Would I return? Yes, I would.
Owner response:Yes, the beach and water are such treasures - we'd love to have you back!

We just returned from our trip to AMI. We so enjoyed your condo #2 at Tropical Sunset. It was clean, no bugs, and so many places to enjoy there; the lania, roof-top deck, pool and the beach. I took pictures several nights of sunsets from the roof-top deck. I enjoyed many hours reading on the lanai. We sat at the pool, where I could enjoy the sun and David could be in the shade. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach. We would definitely go back to AMI and your condo. We appreciate your making it available for others to enjoy. It was our "first pick" and we were thrilled to be able to be there. We were the only ones until Friday night; so it was our own private space for most of our week there. Again, thanks to you-all - - it was one of our best vacations!
