We really enjoyed our stay. It was very easy to get in touch with the host. The house was well stocked. It was also very clean. The pool area was wonderful. As was the tiki bar. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops.
"We had an amazing time . went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Their thoughtful touches and lightning-fast responses made the whole process stress-free. The property was a dream – clean, well-equipped, and in a great location. We couldn't have asked for a better host or stay!"

The property was absolutely amazing. Felt like we were in a private resort! It was a truly relaxing vacation. We hardly ever left the house because we were enjoying the backyard so much! We will definitely be back!!
We had an amazing stay at this house on Anna Maria Island. The island itself is fantastic — beautiful beaches, a relaxed vibe, and plenty to explore. The home’s location was perfect, close to so many great dining options, and the nearby ice cream shop was a huge hit with the kids.Inside, the spacious upstairs living room gave everyone plenty of room to unwind, and the outdoor living and entertaining area quickly became our favorite spot to hang out. The pool was fantastic, and having manatees come right up to the dock in the canal was an unforgettable experience.The beds were very comfortable, making our stay relaxing from beginning to end.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property!
We had so much fun at our stay at AMI. There were so many beautiful beach's (not crowded) and delicious restaurants. A great place to relax and watch sunrise and sunset.

The property was clean and well-maintained. It's in a great location and they were very responsive to a couple questions we had. When we weren't out and about on the island, the pool and tiki bar at the house were great to hang out at. It was our family and another family and we had a wonderful time there for the week. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay in Anna Maria. The accommodations were very good. The pool, kayaking, ping pong, golf cart, tiki bar, etc. were enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend this house / location. Property manager & owners were very helpful & responsive to any issues we had.
We had an incredible stay at the Bayside Inn Anna Maria Island. The house is beautiful, the kitchen fully furnished, lots of beach towels and pool toys and the location was great. We loved having the golf cart to get around town. The owner, Carolyn, was prompt to answer questions during the months leading up to the trip and the property manager , Ashley, made it clear that she was available for anything we might need during our stay. The 5 bdrm/5 bath was a perfect property for our family of 12. We loved everything about the property and the island - we’ll be back !!
The property was well taken care of and the owners were available and ready to communicate before and during our trip. We were close to the beach and the golf cart (included) was the perfect way to get around all of the island. I recommend taking advantage of the boat outings/adventures that can be chartered and leave right from the dock in the back of the house.

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Hodgson
From Minnesota, and well traveled, we wanted to create a personal experience where luxury and comfort came first. If you have rented in Anna Maria before, you know it is a nightmare to rent from one of the big property management companies (AMI Locals, etc.) They are owned by one person who has a monopoly started and is rumored to not provide great service (look them up on Yelp.) We, the owners of this home are the ones managing it. That makes a significant difference in the type of service you receive. Read our reviews, they tell it the best. I personally answer your requests and there is no one with a greater incentive than the owner to make sure our guests are thrilled. This home has everything you could want or need for. Including children's pack and play, high chair, booster, and Jumper. Beach towels, blankets, chairs, chaise loungers, coolers, umbrella's, canopy's, golf carts, you just bring the sunscreen and your swimming suit!
Why they chose this property
This home has water views from everywhere. Across the street from Tampa Bay and the Skyway Bridge, use binoculars provided and watch the cruise ships and ocean freighters go by heading to Tampa Port. At night watch storms and lightening come across the bay - its beautiful and thrilling! The second level on the front of the home has a porch that is covered, and has new composite plus 3 sectional beautiful sets of furniture to enjoy watching the sunsets and wildlife bird watching and sea life. The Free Standing Tiki Bar lights up with neon at night, the pool and the water in the canal does too! New vinyl fence has lights surrounding it and LED lighting is in the Feeney steel cable railings surrounding the porch!
What makes this property unique
5 Bedrooms all with brand new King size gel memory foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and memory pillows! 2 Pull out sleeper sofas king size that are brand new plus one and a half person chaise lounge with ottoman. One of the upstairs master suites also has a Queen Daybed. Plenty of sleeping choices throughout the house! 2 minutes to the Waterfront Restaurant or town...this is the best location you can find in Anna Maria!
