This is a great home and a great location! Just steps away from the beach and also a quieter part of the beach on the north end. The house was well laid out, beautifully designed with a modern beach vibe. The Crows Nest was a great spot in the evenings and the front deck was a great spot for morning coffee's. Pool area was also very nice and a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend it!

Paradise Bound by AMI Locals sounds like it delivered the full island experience, Home. Being just steps from that quieter north-end beach is such a huge plus, and it sounds like you made the most of every space from morning coffee on the front deck to evenings up in the Crow’s Nest. Love hearing you enjoyed the modern beach design and peaceful neighborhood too. Add in the pool area, and it’s the kind of place that makes it easy to completely unwind. Thanks so much for the recommendation, and we’d love to have you back for another AMI escape soon!

Property was very clean and layout was fantastic for us. Fully stocked house with beach chairs, wagon and towels. Loved how attentive the property company was to check in to make sure we had what we needed and no issues. Would 100% recommend. This was year 7 for us and we have rented houses each year and this is our top house. We have had wonderful stays at others but loved the location and the 4 bath / 4 bedroom!

A great vacation home

This house was perfect for my family. Location was less than a minute walk to the beach and about 5 minutes to local restaurants. The view from the rooftop was breathe taking. Everything was very modern and new. The elevator was very helpful while getting our luggages in and out as there were many stairs. The pool was absolutely amazing, enjoyed our time in it especially how private it was! Will definitely consider staying there again as it made our vacation that much better!

Great family stay

Our family booked a last second trip to Anna Maria. This was our second time on the island and this house was a perfect location for the Beach and Pine Ave. The house and pool area were spotless. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked and had everything we needed. The best part about the house was the seperate floors, lookout deck and the amenities. We greatly appreciated the wagon, umbrellas, chairs and football. We left a new set of sand buckets for the next family that stays. We look forward to being back next year!

Stunning home!

Our third time renting on the island. This home was definitely our favorite! We splurged a little more on a house that had a shorter walk to the beach and more up-to-date....this home was completely worth it! Short walk to the beach on a quiet street, tastefully decorated, kitchen was gorgeous with everything we needed, pool was clean & heated which was perfect for our cool week we had there. Communication with rental company was excellent and the roof top patio had brilliant views of the ocean for evening cocktails! We loved the little extras that made us feel comfortable; plenty of towels, quality kitchenware, fireplace with LED flames for a cozy ambiance. We will rent here again!

Hidden Gem

We loved our stay at Paradise Bound in Anna Maria! This ended up being an unexpected booking when our original VRBO host cancelled our booking day of our check-in, and we are so grateful it was available so last minute! AMI locals was super attentive to our comfort the entire time of our stay, even bringing over additional silverware that we may have needed. Everything was very clean and very well taken care of, we highly recommend! The kids loved the pool and spa and the very convenient private beach access just down the street. The fact that every room had its own bathroom was also an added bonus! The only thing that was missing was basic kitchen staples we usually find at VRBO homes we have stayed in in the past. Otherwise, this was the absolute perfect save to our almost ruined vacation. Thank you AMI Locals!!!

Staycation

Our family throughly enjoyed this vacation. We had 2 families, 4 adults and 4 kids ages 5-8. The location was perfect walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shops. The home was well equipped with wagons, chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys. We had enough towels for both showers and the beach. I would recommend bringing extra trash bags, paper towels, dish detergent, and laundry pods. The home does start you off with a couple of each. Each bathroom comes with a mini stock of toiletries as well. Unloading all our groceries and suitcases was easy due to the elevator. The layout was nice for our families. I do wish that the pool was more visible from the living room/kitchen area as we do have young swimmers. This wouldn’t deter us from staying again. Very clean home. A couple of the kids in our party have environmental allergies and they had no issues with this home. Shortly after arrival, we did receive a call from maintenance requesting if they could come by to replace an air filter. They were very accommodating when we requested for them to come the following day when we would be present. We will be booking again!

Worst experience ever

The day we checked in, we noticed many things wrong with the property. Lights were falling off the ceiling, there were BUGS all over one of the bedrooms, and there were bugs all over the kitchen. We notified the property management instantly and they refused to do anything. The following day I noticed bugs were calling all over my kids while they were asleep. I took pictures and notified the property manager again and they refused to do anything. Then our ac stops working, after calling nonstop and complaining they send a tech out to look at it at 11 pm, and the end results were I can't fix this until the following day, so in the crazy FL heat, we didn't have any AC. Then someone comes and turns off the pool filter, the heater, and all the features related to the pool. When we called to ask why well their answer was we received a complaint from the neighbor that there was a loud beeping noise coming from the side of the house so we had to shut off the pool. We kindly ask them to come to fix it since we still had several days left and were instantly denied. I would never recommend this property to anyone. There was no manager that wanted to speak with us directly. Each time we called we got pushed off by the employees that work in the property management. We even tried to get in touch with the owner of the property and he seemed to ignore calls from VRBO.

Beautiful Property!!

This is a beautiful property and so close to the beach! I highly recommend it! A couple things to take in consideration , as this is the first time I experienced this in a rental. They only provide one trash bag, they do not have any kitchen towels and there is no condiments in the house, not even salt and pepper. I was not impressed with the property management either and how they handled an issue we had with the pool. We reported an issue with the pool one hour after we checked in and they sent someone over that couldn't fix it. The pool then started making such an unbearable noise that even the neighbors called several times to complain. Finally someone came over at 10 PM to turn it off after 12 hours. Thankfully we found the breaker before then! it was loud! We couldn't really use the pool or spa as it was fixed the day we checked out. 3 days later! And the pool guy had it fixed in about 30 minutes as we were literally pulling out to leave. We understand things break, but the way it was handled was very disappointing. Which is a shame as the house is really beautiful and in a great location.
