This house is exceptional. Very close to the beach and directly on the bay - you can see sunrises from any of the beautiful outdoor areas and sunsets over the Gulf from the rooftop deck. The pool & hot tub are wonderful and the house easily accommodated all 9 of us. The kitchen is high-end with Sub Zero and Wolf appliances. The only drawback for us was no outdoor TV's. Would have been great to be able to watch the kids in the pool area and the Final Four (Go Blue!) at the same time.

Now that’s living the island dream, Gregory! So glad Salt Life by AMI Locals delivered for your crew—sunrises on the bay, sunsets from the rooftop, and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. That pool hot tub combo with a high-end kitchen (Sub-Zero and Wolf!) really brings that luxury beach house vibe together. We hear you on the outdoor TV—that would definitely level up those poolside game days (and we’re with you… Go Blue!). Appreciate you calling that out. Sounds like an unforgettable trip, come back and do it all again soon!
Our family had a relaxing & memorable stay in this beautiful home. So close to the beach & restaurants too. Will definitely be back to Anna Maria Island!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Kristi. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again in the future!
First time in Bradenton for family vacation house was perfect location and beautifully decorated
The kitchen could have more things to help cook dinners for 11 people and we had limited bath towels, called for more but never received them. Beds are comfortable and the couch we loved for everyone to fit for movie night. Would love to stay again
We stayed for 3 weeks in January 2021. Group of 8 adults. Great place. As advertised. Management company is really good. Couple of minor issues and they handled immediately. Would absolutely stay again.

Thank you so much for being our guest, Jeff! We especially appreciate your kind words about our management company, and hope to host you again in the future!
This property is beautiful and well appointed. The pictures online do not do it justice. The location is perfect, on the water way side of the island but a < 5minute walk to the beach. Easy walk to the quaint downtown area. My only wish is that the "beach" in the back yard was sand instead of pebbles.

The swim spa didn’t work for most of the trip. We contacted the AMI Folks but it was never fixed.
No swim spa. Didn’t work other than that ok

Hi Anthony, thank you for staying with us. You chose a great location and property - a very popular area. The team is checking the spa and will make repairs if needed. We are happy you enjoyed your vacation with us and look forward to your next visit.
This location is perfect. you have the canal on one side and the ocean on the other (very short walk). Because the beach water was too cold, the kids enjoyed fishing every day. The particular enjoyed fishing out on the desk at night! apparently that's when the cat fish were out. Recommend a light on the dock. The house itself is beautiful. But you can see it's age. I think a good maintenance man can fix all the little issues. loved the kitchen. could definitely use some pot holders. would have loved to use the dishwasher, but no detergent could be located. Hot water in the evening was an issue, definitely had a few showers on the cooler side. the property is fenced however with no gates, we could not let our dog off the leash. The parking is an issue. THe pics don't explain it well. but you're in an ally and getting three cars (SUV) to park was difficult. The next house is really close to you so not a lot of elbow room. Again difficult to discern that from the pics. This is not a deal breaker, just not what I was expecting. Best to back in down the ally so you can get the car out easier. On days where the water was calm a paddle board or even a canoe would have been fun. I guess we could have rented one. Beds were comfortable. Liked the spa. I think someone else mentioned in prior review the controls are difficult to operate. You can really only see them when it gets dark. Not sure if that can be fixed. But the spa was enjoyable. All in all a good time and nice property.

Deborah, thank you for your recent stay with us here at Salt Life! Great to hear the location was a well fit, and that the fishing was a fun experience. All of your honest feedback is much appreciated and we have informed our team of all the helpful suggestions you have mentioned. We look forward to hosting your family again.
My family and I had a great time staying at this home for a few days as I had some clients to visit in the area. The House was beautiful and very clean, but the view was the best part. We spent most of our time on one of the decks and the swim spa was incredible. Super easy walk to see the sunsets at the beach and plenty of restaurants to pick from that were very close by. I would highly recommend staying here. Next time we are in town this is were we would want to stay.

Hi Ryan, It sounds like you had a fantastic guys trip! We are very excited that you enjoyed your stay. You chose a great property in a great location. We hope that you will chose us again and again on your future trips to beautiful Anna Maria Island.
House is very nice, but definitely starting to show some wear and tear. Close to a lot of restaurants and the beach. Tons of space for a large family to stay comfortably. Swim spa/pool is really more a spa. The view of the intercostal was nice and patio was a great place to relax. Was great to have chairs and a wagon to take down to the beach.
