My kids loved the pool being right in our backyard and having it all to ourselves. The walk to the beach was super easy and nice and close. The jome itself is in a great location, very central to all of the island activities as well as easy on and of acces from the island to the main land. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

So happy to hear your family had such a great stay, Amber! It sounds like Banana Cabana by AMI Accommodations was a perfect fit having the pool right in the backyard is always a big hit with the kids. And that easy walk to the beach plus a central spot on the island makes getting around a breeze. We really appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you all back for another fun AMI getaway!
Absolutely amazing!!! A great time the place was gorgeous and super easy check in and check out. So happy with it!

We had a fantastic time at the Banana Cabana. It was a couple minute walk to the beach, and a quick golf cart ride to several other beaches/restaurants/etc. on the island. The pool was a perfect retreat from the heat in the mid day, and the kitchen had everything needed to cook. Would stay again!

Banana Cabana is in a great area and is perfect for a family of 6. They had a wagon, towels & beach chairs & the backyard pool & hot tub were great. The only negative was they provided only a bare minimum of TP & dish soap supplies & NO coffee filters. We loved coffee on the deck every morning.

Everything was just as listing, location is great, walking distance to beach. Only suggestion is the house needs a few updates such as a smart tv in the living room. We had 2 rainy days and having that would of been nice , the tv only had regular cable. Otherwise, everything was good. We have used Ami locals several times, they are always responsive and good to work with.

We appreciate your suggestion about adding a smart TV in the living room—that’s great feedback, and we’ll take it into consideration for future updates.
Thank you for your kind words about our team’s responsiveness—we always aim to make your stay as smooth as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit to AMI!
We truly enjoyed our stay at this location. We were a family of 5 visiting with older teenagers. The home is located closer to the bay side of the island, but because the island isn't very wide, it's only two blocks to the ocean. Certainly a manageable walk. The house itself is comfortable and well appointed. The pool area is very nice and is in full sun between 11am and 3:00pm. We had a car and a golf cart, so we used those to get around the island (mostly the golf cart). If you wanted to, you could walk to the downtown area adjacent to Holmes Beach, but it would be a very long walk to downtown Anna Maria. All in all, I would recommend staying here.

Great Location
The property is in a great location. Within walking distance to beach, shopping, restaurants. The property could use a little tlc as far as paint on the interior. The most disappointing aspect of the vacation was that the supposedly heated pool and hot tub never got to a useable temperature. After contacting the company twice, the issue never got resolved. Very disappointing to see the neighbors using their amenities and not being able to use ours and what we paid for.

Lovely home on Anna Maria
Plus side : First I want to say that the home was very clean and modern! decorated very nice. The kitchen was great! nice dinning area, Great Bathrooms really it is a very nice property.
The backyard area was just lovely. The warm jacuzzi was nice in February since the weather can be spring like, the pool is heated too. The location was good although the traffic noise from Marina Drive on the front porch was a bit noisy, not too bad though. the location is only one house away from Marina Drive. Trolly very close 1/2 block away, beach access also close.
Down Side: We didn't sit in the backyard much because it was a hike down stairs to reach it because this is a elevated home, and there is no bathroom etc.. down there. You need to run back and forth. There is an elevator in the house but it is locked off, Check with management they probably open it if it is needed for a disabled person. We brought a cooler and used that to put ice, drinks and snacks in for pool side sitting. Never actually went into the pool though it is heated. The yards but up against each other so it could get noisy if other houses are occupied with kids swimming but all houses on the island are pretty close to each other and there is a noise ordinance of 10pm.
All in All nice place lovely backyard, close to everything and trolly, modern clean nicely decorated.

Hi Melinda, Thank you for taking the time to leave review! It sounds like you did enjoy your time on the island at the Banana Cabana. The elevator in this home is usable for the guests with no call to the management company needed. It sounds like what was thought to be an elevator that is locked out was actually the elevator car being parked on a different floor. To call the car, push the button located next to the door and it will call the car to the bottom or top level of the home. Thanks again for the feedback and hope to see you back on the island soon!
Fantastic Rental - great for families, would rent again!
First of all, this location was perfect for our family which included two teenagers. It is a short walk to the beach access 2 blocks away. The house is located in Holmes Beach which is in the middle of AMI giving you access to fun stuff on Pine in the north and Bridge St to the South. There are a number of good restaurants nearby in the middle very close to the house. The house was perfectly cleaned when we arrived. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. The master is separate on the upper floor and has an amazing bathroom with a jet tub and large shower. The two bedrooms on the main floor were perfect for the kids and a bathroom for them to share was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked. The back yard is amazing, pool was great and the shaded couch area was perfect for reading while the kids played in the pool. The house has a really nice gas grill which we made use of one night. There are lots of chairs and a wagon to bring gear to the beach. There are two beach umbrellas which are a little dated and could be upgraded to bigger/newer ones. Would have been nice to have some floats to take to the ocean or chill in the pool. There was not a cooler to take drinks to the beach which was a little disappointing because we flew and obviously didn't bring a cooler on the plane. I did however buy a small cooler and left it with the beach gear for future guests to use. The only other thing it could use is maybe a portable speaker to listen to music out by the pool.
Beautiful house and pool. Easy walk to the beach. I only have two complaints. First, the home has a basic cable package with about 10 channels. It works randomly. There is no smart television or streaming devices. Five of the channels are local news stations. Either pay for the next level of cable or have some way to stream. My husband and I watched my laptop. Very sad for the price of this property. Next the beds are very very hard and the furniture in the living area is low backed and low to sit in. We enjoyed our vacation but for the price of this property, it should be better.
The house, pool, and all the other amenities were amazing. Also, I am a big fan of nice TV's, music, kids shows, so having all TV's be smart TV's was great for the entire family! Very easy to communicate with management team as well. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home!

We had an AMAZING week at Banana Cabana! This house is absolutely beautiful and comes equipped with everything you need for a family beach vacation- beach gear, including chairs, towels, a wagon, even had umbrellas and sand toys. There were even baby gates if you need those! We loved the convienece of the elevator with all of the floors. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds and other furniture were comfortable. Pool and hot tub were clean and perfect Temps for swimming, even on a few chilly days we had. The house is in a great location on the island- only 2 blocks from beach access and a great mid-island location close to everything. The only issue we had was the elevator was broken when we first arrived, but we let them know and they had someone out very quickly and had it fixed, so not much of an issue at all. Overall, we had an amazing week here and are already thinking about when we can come back!!
We had one of the best vacations at this home. The house has everything you need. We loved the views and being able to sit outside on the balcony and by the dock. The hot tub and pool were great. We rented a golf cart and took to the beach everyday. I really can't say enough about this home and we look forward to returning.
Everything was in place as described and we had all the amenities we could need. The island is awesome and this was the perfect place for our family during our visit!
The house is perfect, it has everything you may need. It's only a couple of blocks from the beach, we walked it every day without any issues. Lovely place.

Great vacation
This is a great home. One thing is there is a lot of stairs. This was not a problem for us but just a heads up for someone that does not like a lot of steps. With that being said there was an elevator to use. This home had everything we needed for the perfect island vacation. The beach was only about 4 blocks away and it was an easy walk. The pool at the house was a great place for coffee in the morning and an afternoon swim. The front porch was also a great place to sit and relax. I definitely would recommend this home.

Lovely Home on a Quiet Street
A beautiful house - lovely furnishings, fenced in backyard with a pool, hot tub, grill, outdoor dining and seating, outdoor shower, and a kitchen with all the utensils and dishes you could possibly need! The open concept really makes the house seem very spacious. The beach is a short walk and the house has beach chairs, towels, beach umbrella and cart. We walked some days and others we drove and had no trouble parking. The elevator came in handy when bringing in groceries. When we first checked in, the pool and hot tub temperature needed to be adjusted - after making a call, the serviceman was there in literally 5 minutes! It was our first time vacationing on Anna Maria Island and we just loved it. Would definitely recommend Banana Cabana.
