We loved this property! The house is spacious, nicely decorated, clean, with an awesome well stocked kitchen. A quiet street on the north half of AMI. We have stayed a number of places between AMI and Siesta Key, but this was our favorite. The back yard with the pool, grill, pergola, furniture, and privacy is terrific. Even on a couple cooler days it was very usable and the pool was kept warm to enjoy all the time.It is a very short walk to the beach, and all the chairs, umbrellas...are available. The large church parking lot on the side and back is a nice place to shoot some baskets or some other recreation.

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.
