The perfect home!

Can’t say enough good things about the property. Location was perfect less than a block to the beach. Backyard is so private and peaceful perfect for morning coffee and afternoons swimming in the pool. The home was very clean. Kitchen was a dream to cook in. Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are provided so no need to purchase or bring along which was a bonus for us.

Anna Maria - Diamond Surf fall-break

Diamond Surf was an awesome spot! The owners were great to work with….the house was much bigger than we anticipated and perfect for our family. The pool was great to come back to after a long (short walk) day at the beach! We highly recommend staying at Diamond Surf!

Wonderful quiet stay on AMI!

We had a fantastic experience at this location. The property was impeccably clean and well-stocked with all the amenities we needed for a great week on the Island. It was just a short walk to the beach, making it super convenient. I also appreciated the nearby Trolley stop, which made exploring the island easy. The communication with the owners was excellent, adding to our overall enjoyment. I can't wait to come back to this property again! Highly recommend!

We loved out stay at the Diamond Surf. The property was well maintained and had everything we needed . Loved the interior or the rental as well it was very clean and welcoming. The house is a short walk to the beach crossing Golf Ave can be a challenge at time but it never stopped us . The island is beautiful and we were lucky to have lucked out with this property. Thank you again to the hosts who were accommodating and always so quick to respond!! We hope to return !!

a great stay

walking distance(short walk ,1 block) to a beautiful spot on the beach, all you needed for the beach was there for you and in good shape (nice towels, wagons, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys etc), house was super clean and kept up well. It was just me and my husband but would have been just as perfect for a little family or to have invited another couple. Pool was private. You can walk to the Pier, shops, and restaurants from the house too. We would live there!

About the host

Hosted by Ramona Griffin

Host profile image
Growing up in New Jersey, I enjoyed spending time at the 'Jersey Shore' with my friends and family. I believe this is one reason why I wanted to own a home near the beach. I'm an avid quilter, which occupies the majority of my time as my children are now grown.

Why they chose this property

What drew me to Anna Maria is the slow pace of life, great beaches, friendly people and simple life it offers.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits we enjoy while at the property are: Short walk to the beach, walking the beach looking for sea shells, sunsets (and sunrise on the bay), eating at Waterfront, Sandbar, Rod & Real, City Pier, and riding a bike to explore the island.
