Thank you, Michelle! We are happy you chose to stay with AMI Locals and we appreciate your business. We'll have to see what we can do to control the weather next time! ;)
We were not disappointed with this rental. House was very nice,
great location, steps from the beach. Beautiful relaxing pool. Needed a little maintenance here and there but overall very nice. We would definitely stay again.

Thanks for your feedback Corrine. We'd love the opportunity to host a return trip to the island!
Patrick, Great to hear your Christmas Holiday was nothing but awesome! We look forward to you visiting us again, as the island is waiting for your return.
We had such a great time celebrating my 40th birthday at this lovely beach cottage - such a perfect location! From the heated pool to the lovely spa to the gorgeous white sand beaches just steps out the back gate... everything was perfect. We stayed in and cooked in the well appointed kitchen - local fish, shrimp and lobster oh my! So good.

Thank you so much for staying with us Mary. We are happy to hear that you had a fantastic time with us. We hope to host you again on your next exciting adventure to the islands.
The home is SO adorable and cozy. The pool was incredible - 3x bigger than we would have expected for a house that size. There were a few issues which were taken care of right away and a couple (rusted out patio dining furniture, no working pool lights for nighttime swimming) which were not resolved during our stay but we did receive a small credit (which was appreciated). The beach was just a short walk from the backyard and it was nice to hear the waves day and night! We would definitely stay here at the Beach Bungalo again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, location
Very old home
We walked in and were a bit upset about the cleanliness.
Stained living and dining room furniture.
We felt the house was dark and depressing. Musty. Needs a good household update… I would not pay over 500.00 a night for this property.
I give 1 star for the gorgeous beach
I give 1 star for the representative responsible for this property.
They sent someone out to steam clean the chairs in the living room. They looked brand new.
They cleaned the a/c vent and changed the filter.
The management team did as much as they could. So I do appreciate them.
I feel the house needs an overhaul and to be cleaned of mold…
No I would not stay here again.

Blanche, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Please allow us to apologize for the issues you experienced. We are happy to hear our team was able to assist you, and we will be sure to pass your feedback on. Thank you, and we hope to host you again sometime in the future.
We had extended family ranging from 13-75, and all agree it was a wonderful week! The listing was accurate - and the pictures show the property just as it is. Being steps from the beach was a luxurious convenience. The large, clean pool was a great bonus & got lots of use. The management was very responsive to just a few minor concerns - addressed same day. We wish we could stay longer.
Escape from the North - Amazing Beachfront with great pool
4/17-4/24 We headed south for our first visit to AMI. We wanted a private pool on the beach for 4 adults, two 18 year old boys, 16 year old girl and 13 year old boy. Beachfront Bungalow was the perfect spot. Beach access was amazing. Pool was big with a sun deck built in and a few sitting ledges. Hot tub would heat up pretty quickly. House was great, smaller living room with seating for 5 but we were outside most of the time. Bedrooms were great, 3 King beds and bunk room with two twin over full beds. Lots of towels and beach towels. Great outdoor shower and 1/2 bath is connected to pool deck. Our only suggestion would be to update outdoor dinning table/chairs. There is a table but only 4 chairs for eating outside. We all agreed, we will be back!!

Anne, thanks for staying at our cozy bungalow this past fall. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the tranquil pool and beach as much as we do. We welcome you back anytime as you were wonderful guests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Bungalow. The property was well maintained, the large pool was great. Plenty of chairs to enjoy the views by the pool, and it was so nice to have our own private, gated walk to the beach right out of our back door. We highly recommend staying here...we will definitely be repeat guests!

Stacey, thanks so much for the heartwarming review! We are thrilled that the beach bungalow was perfect for your stay and we welcome you back to the endless sunsets anytime. The island will be waiting for your return.
This was a perfect spot for a family beach vacation. Having the Anna Maria beach as our extended backyard just beyond the pool was amazing. The house was clean and comfortable and the property manager responsive. Pictures showed the property exactly as it was.
Super nice to have a pool on the beach side of the house. Hot tub was wonderful since it was still a little cool outside. Very well stocked with towels and beach towels and super easy access to everything on the island. Big shout out to The Donut Experience! Delicious and fun!
Very nice beach house. Everything very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool. It's one of the biggest pools we have ever rented in a beach house. Management very communicative and helpful. It was really great. Cant wait to come back!
The house and location were wonderful, wonderful!! The pool was like a resort pool. We and members of our family live on Anna Maria but wanted a place for members from out of town, where they could really enjoy the beach, the Island and our Florida weather with pool. This place maximized all of that, it made the week so much fun. thank you to the owners for sharing it!!
