We've been coming to AMI for years and this is one of the best homes we've stayed in... It's close to the beach, private access, very comfy beds and furniture. The AC was very cold and the water pressure is great! The kitchen is well equipped. We kept blowing a breaker on the hot tub because we were plugging our golf cart into the same circuit. We figured that out, but management was very kind and sent someone down both times. We loved the location and convenience of this house. It was one of our favorite trips to the island. Would highly recommend this property!

Hi, Thank you for your review. I don't see any notes on your reservation about the hot tub not working. I apologize if it wasn't!

The house was amazing with full size beds, pool table outside and a great pool and hot tub. Lot's of TVs. Location was perfect just a couple of houses from beach access. We live close a beach (isle of palms, charleston) but this beach was excellent with surf for kids to play in with no real current or under toe to worry about and the water was great and clear. We ate at several restaurants like the Sandbar, Harry's and the Ugly Grouper. Would book this house again. Like all beach tourist islands, pay close attention to parking rules. We did not violate any rules but we did see lots of paper on windshields. Very much appreciated the host alerting us to the 4th parade time slot and we had no issues leaving.

Had the most amazing stay! Loved the beautiful house! It was perfect for our family! One of the amenities we wanted was a hot tub and heated pool. We didn’t realize until we arrived that the pool and hot tub are heated by ambient air which left it unusable for most our week with temperatures in the 50–60s. Big disappointment and the reason for only four stars.

Great house, very clean with all the right amenities. Anna Maria Life was an excellent host. They went the extra mile. I had a package arrive a day early and they went and picked it up for me and held it until we arrived. Will definitely look to Anna Maria Life the next time we visit AMI.

We had a wonderful two week stay at Above It All! The home was perfect for our group of two families! It was extremely clean, comfortable, and had so many extras that made our stay more convenient. The outside area is amazing and we found that we used it much more than any other home we have rented. The rooftop deck was the perfect place to watch a beautiful sunrise or catch the sunset if we weren't on the beach. It is a super short walk to the beach and the wagon and chairs were so nice to use. We would highly recommend staying at Above It All!

Family Vacation

This property and area of the island were very nice and laid back. Mostly rental properties but a few of the neighbors were full time residents. The amenities at the property were very convenient. Short walk to the beach and a short drive to all of the restaurants. We would stay here again in the future!

Above it all is correctly named!

This house is beautiful, and is the most extensively furnished property we've ever stayed in, with not one but two full sets of matching dishes, two blocks of cutlery that were actually sharp, and all the pots, pans, and other cookware you could want. The house is very nicely furnished, beds are comfortable, and pool was always warm. The host, Anna Maria Life, were extremely easy to work with, and provided excellent communication. We've been coming to Anna Maria for 8 years, and this is the best house and best rental company we've ever worked with.

Family trip to AMI

We stayed at Above It All with our ten week old and both sets of grandparents. We loved our time. The location is on a nice quiet street that is close to a pristine and sparsely visited section of the beach. The house itself has a wonderful covered outdoor area. We were able to stay outside almost all of the day without getting sunburned. Everything was very clean upon arrival. We would definitely return.

Love Anna Maria island! The only thing I’d change about the house is I wish the pool was refreshing however it was a really hot week, we maybe should have thrown ice in. Also I didn’t know the pool was completely shaded, we would have liked to hang there more but it had no sun. Overall beautiful property and a wonderful trip!

Cleanest vacation rental ever!!

The home was IMMACULATE!!! A few houses down from the sandy beach making the walk over simple. We loved the classy decor of the home. Loved the beach wagon and chairs ( pulling the wagon into the garage each day after a long day at the beach was awesome)! The pool area was a dream! Fully stocked kitchen and so much more. The upper deck was our favorite place to sit after sunset. We sat up there on the 4th of July and had 360 views of the fireworks!! We had a maintenance issue and no joke he was at the house within 5 minutes of me calling!! Great home with great management team!!!

One of our favorites!

We have been coming to the island for 10 years and we have stayed at Above it All the past 2 of our 3 trips. We have traveled with 6 people and we have traveled with 10, and have had plenty of space. One of our favorite homes! The views from the rooftop deck are amazing, the home is in a quiet area and has everything needed. The kitchen is well stocked! Extremely clean, and the outdoor pool space is by far our favorite part, even with the more shaded pool, it is a much needed break from the beach, with it being just steps away. The pool table is a hit with our family of 6, we spend most of our time, between the beach and the pool area! You'll never want to leave! AMLV answered our every call, fixed a few toilets quickly, that needed new chains in the tanks! We will be back!

Best Island House Ever

Walking through those entryway doors knocked our socks off! We felt like movie stars immediately! And i never expected to love being in Florida in August, but the outdoor spaces were so amazing that I spent most of my time there: early morning coffee on the roof and stargazing at night, pool and beach swimming during the day (pool at night, too), and a big screen tv by the pool with a breeze for late night movie watching, too! This place was paradise! Totally unexpected! I was shocked by the gulf view from the rooftop, too--- the pictures don't do it justice--- the house is close and you see a lot of the big gulf! Breath-taking! The house is the best on the island, I'm sure, and the street is private and the gulf access is easy. This place is fantastic!
