This past week’s vacation has been the most relaxed one we have ever taken. Property was clean and close to the beach. Highly recommend and hope to return again one day.
We enjoyed our stay in the Dolphin on Anna Maria. Excellent communication from the owners. Great walking distance beach and close to shopping & restaurants.
Location to beach is five star! We also walked with ease to Pine Street and other neighborhood small business locations. Everything we needed for the beach was available, the kitchen and bathrooms well supplied. Lynda is available and responsive should visitors to AMI need help with anything during their stay.
This house was perfect! Very clean and cute…had the perfect balcony to sit and relax. Conveniently located near the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Property owners were super friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend!!
Enjoyed our stay at this nicely renovated duplex. Location was really nice for beach access and Pine Street which were a short walk or bike away. As with other reviews, there is some traffic noise, but otherwise a great stay!
We stayed 5 days at this little gem in Anna Maria and it was awesome! The house was very clean and comfortable, the walk to the beach not too long.
We had and amazing time and will come back for sure.
Thank you Lynda!!
This was the perfect place for my husband and I and our 2 teenage daughters. The location was perfect as it was an easy walk to Pine Street (less than a mile) where several shops and restaurants are. It was also an easy walk to the beach and the cart available made it easier to transport our beach items. It was also very clean and recently updated. Would love to come back!

Thank you for staying with us Sara. You are welcome back anytime!
This perfectly appointed, charming home allowed for the ultimate relaxation. Easy beach access, centrally located to all this special island has to offer. The home is fresh, light and beautifully decorated. We'll be returning customers without a doubt!
We have stayed on AMI for 12 years as a family and this year our crew was much smaller. My daughter and I enjoyed this quaint unit for the ease to the beach and accessing all things AMI. It was a perfect location for enjoying the island 4th of July parade.
This is a darling little new h cottage with everything you need in a great location on AMI.
It’s a convenient walk to all the shopping and restaurants on AMI, with easy access to the beach. The owners were always in communication and provided plenty of information about the island as well as laundry facilities and beach chairs, umbrellas and anything you would need. The kitchen has everything you will need and beds are very comfortable.
The Dolphin house was a perfect rental home for our introduction to AMI. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. Beautifully decorated with nicely organized amenities, we quickly settled in. Despite being located on a busier road, we found the home quiet while inside and secure. The short walk to the residential beach and availability of beach accessories was great. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
We escaped a little of the midwest winter/cold for some sunshine and white sand beach. The dolphin was clean, updated, everything was in working order. We had everything we needed for the beach— chairs, umbrellas, towels . Host was very responsive with suggestions on places to go and restaurants. Gave great advice about putting our name in early at some of the places.
Martin & Lynda Took care of any of our concerns immediately, bringing us some containers for leftovers and a pizza cutter.
They also fixed a shower door that had moved off its track.
There were plenty of kitchen utensils , beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys…
Very nicely outfitted and equipped
We had an amazing stay. Communication was great we were all set when we arrived. The house was very clean, bright perfect for our family of four. Close to the beach (5 minute walk) easy commute to restaurants or nearby shops. Would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion that we would have for improvement would be screen doors for the front sliders. We left the front sliding doors open all evening as the weather was beautiful but a few bugs started to come in later on. Would just be nice to leave these open longer and not have the bugs inside. Again no issue just a suggestion for the future. Place was perfect for us - we loved it! Thank you - look forward to staying again.

Hi Jeremy & Sarah, Thank you for staying with us and leaving a review. We can look into the screens on the sliding glass doors but I think these are custom orders and may take a while to come in. But great suggestion.
Thanks!
