Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the home and our service. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! 🌴✨
We loved this location! Great spot with awesome views of the ocean. Beds were very comfortable and had plenty of room. The only complaint would be the lack of silverware and no spices. We loved this place!
This house was the perfect spot for our family reunion which included two small children. The back porch opens to an expanse of sand (makes for a killer sand box) and is just steps from the beach (which not only provides breathtaking views but is also super convenient for trips back and forth to the house). The hosts live nearby and were super responsive to our questions about the area.
These cute old Florida cottages on the beach are hard to come by. Such beautiful decor and a fabulous view of the ocean. The beach equipment and golf cart were an appreciated bonus, too. We would stay here again!
Three couples came to AMI to spend some quality time together for the weekend. Beautiful beach, comfortable home. A great time was had by all. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope to host you again soon!
We had a great time. Perfect location and it was very dog friendly with the fenced in yard. We could have used a larger table or an outdoor dining table. This was our first visit to Anna Marie and we will definitely be back.
This was our first stay at Serendipity, but will not be our last! Absolutely as pictured, if not better.
House is well appointed, all beach gear supplied, and even a golf cart. The owner stopped by to say hello while we were there. Have been visiting Anna Maria for many years, and we will only stay at one of Rick and Lyn's property when we next go back.

Thank you for choosing Serendipity!
We look forward to welcoming you back!
Serendipity was the absolute perfect location for our friends Florida getaway. The beach was steps away and sunsets were amazing. The lodging was even better than advertised! Each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom! Very quiet area but very close to some great restaurants and entertainment. Golf cart was a plus! Rick, Lyn, and Dan were excellent hosts. Would highly recommend this property!
We had three couples that stayed for a long weekend. This home is immaculate extremely well kept, and so comfortable. The golf cart was certainly an added bonus. Maria was an awesome host and very responsive. I can't say enough good about this home. We will be coming back.
I had the pleasure of staying in this beautifully designed and impeccably clean rental house. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an inviting and well-organized space that exuded a sense of calm and comfort. This beautiful property, provided the perfect backdrop for celebrating an intimate wedding with our parents and closest friends. It’s a true gem for a relaxing getaway and intimate gatherings. We will be back to celebrate our anniversary!
