Great location and property.
Fantastic property and location. Perfect for a couples get away. The only issue we had was a broken beach umbrella which we called the property management about. Unfortunately they never got back to us about the issue or sent a replacement. Minor problem all in all and would gladly return.

Quaint secluded place
Nice and well appointed place to stay for my wife and I on a short visit to AMI. The location to the beach was excellent. The only issue was the shower head water pressure was super low but we managed :) We had a terrific stay and recommended the property!!

Quiet Getaway
This was a gem of a find. Perfect location on a canal with a short walk to the beach on the other side. The place was spotless. Appliances appeared new. When we had trouble with the thermostat I called the property manager and they sent someone right out. I couldn't have been more pleased.

I loved my little spot here on Serenity Cove. Every morning I sat so peacefully on the dock for a couple of hours watching the fish jump and seeing some kayakers. And in the other direction, the beach was only one block away. The apartment itself was exceptionally well appointed and perfect for one person. Thank you so much.

A pretty and quaint location, right on the canal
Fantastic little Anna Maria location, perfect for couples. Equidistant from the beaches on either side of the island, both within walking distance. The property is well equipped with all essential amenities, and even has a comfy bed!

Great location, just a block from the Gulf of Mexico beach and a couple blocks from Pine St. with restaurants and shops. Small space but good for 2 people and nicely updated interior. Loved the access to the canal and kayaks. We would stay again!

Serenity indeed!
What a great spot for some serenity! Peace and quiet abound, given that this unit faces away from the street and instead is on the channel. Perfect accomodations await you. We met and chatted with the owner several times...very friendly and helpful. Layout great. Super clean. Loved having access to kayaks - used one several times.

Location was great
Super easy access to beach. Backed up on the water and very quiet with privacy. Walkable to all the shops and eateries. Probably needs better signage for unit locations. I had no idea where #5 was when we first drove up.

Nothing lacking
From the time we arrived we were very impressed. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay was right there, from the great unit that we rented, to the beautiful dock out the back door, to the kayaks there for our use. A 3 minute walk to the beach and many things to see and do. Serenity Cove was the perfect name for this place.

The perfect couples getaway!
Wow, what an amazing experience my husband and I had here! Here are some things we loved: -Watching the sunrise from the back dock -A quick 2 minute walk to the beautiful beach which wasn’t crowded even though we were there during Spring Break -kayaking on the canals all the way out to Tampa Bay -riding our rental bikes around the island to look at the beautiful homes, get ice cream, and window shop (you don’t even need bike locks here - it’s a super safe area!) -relaxing in the hammock reading a book -the super clean, modern, and high-end feel of the apartment -the fully stocked kitchen -The cute little lizards running around the back yard -the nice beach chairs and wagon to make hauling your stuff to the beach super easy We felt truly relaxed here. It was just what we’d hoped. Something I didn’t realize is that the dock area is shared with the other rental units on the property. There was just one other couple there at the same time as us, and they were really nice so we didn’t mind, but it’s worth mentioning since the dock is right behind this unit. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!

Perfect location, setting, and amenities
This place is great for a couple or even couples if each rents one of the 4 units on the property. Everything was top notch - clean, top of the line equipment (rare in vacation rentals), the hammock, swing, tables outside - we even had friends over for a BBQ. The best is the location : 2 minute walk to the beach and it's on the canal. We kayaked from the house through the mangroves to the gulf - it's amazing!
