Kitchen was well stocked and the welcome kit with essentials for a few days (i.e. soaps, paper towels, etc.) was much appreciated! And the back deck was a peaceful sitting area for our morning coffee.

That sounds like a perfect little island routine, Elaine! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Bikini So Tiny by AMI Locals. A well-stocked kitchen and those starter essentials really help you settle in, and that peaceful back deck is just made for slow mornings with coffee. Hope we get to welcome you back for more easy, breezy island days soon!
We have stayed down in Siesta Key and visited Anna Maria in the past. This year we decided to book a stay on AMI. We loved this property. It was within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. It was spacious and offered plenty of privacy while being in the heart of all the island has to offer. The cottage was well appointed and the communication was excellent throughout our stay. It was the perfect couples getaway for me and my husband, and would certainly book this property again.

Sounds like you made the right call switching it up this year, Julia! So glad Bikini So Tiny by AMI Locals ended up being the perfect fit for your AMI stay. Being able to walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants while still having your own quiet space is the best of both worlds. Love that it worked so well for a couple's getaway that cozy, well-appointed feel really makes it easy to relax and enjoy the island. We’d love to have you back anytime for another AMI escape!
The location of this property is unmatched. Right smack in the middle of everything and a minute from the beach. I loved the outdoor entertainment space and the beach equipment on hand for us. Great job! Wound recommend!

Now that’s a prime island spot, Gabriel! We’re so glad you loved Bikini So Tiny by AMI Locals—being right in the middle of everything and just a quick minute to the beach makes it so easy to enjoy every part of AMI. That outdoor space and the beach gear really do make a difference for those laid-back days in the sun. Thanks for the recommendation and we’d love to have you back anytime!
Host was very helpful. Was very comfortable and convenient to shopping and dining. Great little outdoor sitting area to enjoy coffee in the AM. Once in a lifetime visit though. The cost of the 2 night stay was really out of our price range. Thank you for everything

Thank you so much for your sweet note, Thomas! We’re really glad Bikini So Tiny by AMI Locals felt comfy and convenient and that you enjoyed those quiet morning coffees outside. That’s such a simple but special part of island time. We totally understand that a quick two-night getaway can feel like a splurge, especially on the island. With limited spots and high demand, shorter stays tend to come in at a higher nightly rate, but we always do our best to keep things fair for the location and experience. It truly means a lot that you chose to stay with us. If the island ever calls you back, we’d love to have you again.
The place was great and as presented on the app. Having a designated parking space was very helpful. Close to many great restaurants, shops, the beach, etc. The north shore cafe and waterfront restaurant were both very good and very close in walking distance

Hi, Justin, Thank you so much for the kind words. We are thrilled to hear you loved the home and the easy island walkability. Having your own parking spot really does make those beach days and dinner outings a breeze. North Shore Cafe and The Waterfront are two of our favorites too. They are such great spots for a relaxed meal and that true Anna Maria vibe. We hope to welcome you back for more sunshine, great eats, and island adventures with AMI Locals!!

Our family had a great time staying at the property! The location was perfect and the host had wonderful communication. Would definitely stay again!
The cottage is just beautiful. It's very historic and true to Old Florida while being impeccably beautiful inside. The renovation done is an impressive feat of retaining the historic charm while providing all the modern amenities. Cottage is squeaky clean, bed was so comfortable, and it was nice for us to be able to spread out a bit in the evening to our own decompression spaces. There is seating galore, but not at all cluttered. We loved the coastal modern furniture and decor. Layout is nice to have the bathroom off the bedroom but also with an entrance through the kitchen. We regrettably only stayed one night, but the dining room space & kitchenware were ample to have allowed some meals at home. Location was perfect. Right on Pine Avenue, with the ocean (and access) only a few blocks in one direction, shops in the other. Everything we needed was steps out the front gate. A huge plus was the golf cart and bike rental right across the street. They were so nice and swung us a nice deal for the few hours we needed. All three of us (me & two teen girls) fell in love with the cottage.
