Thanks for recognizing our great rooftop views. Hope to have you back again as we added a rubber tile roof patio.
This is our 2nd stay here. Excellent location and proximity to the beach; just a few steps away. Property is well maintained and clean. Nicely decorated. Available beach equipment is a plus.

Thanks so much Lisa for your comments. We love to hear when our place exceeds meets your expectations.
Amazing location. Just a few feet from the beach. Beautiful views. Unit was recently renovated and was very comfortable. We look forward to staying again next year.
Nicely furnished cozy home with great open kitchen area and everything close by. Beach just a few minutes walk right behind the building. Roof terrace with lounge chairs to take that beach breeze. There is a new house being built behind the building so expect to be up early with the construction noise until it’s completed.
The condo was very well set up with anything we needed. The walk to the beach was about 2 minutes. The pool was nice and warm. We will hopefully be back next year!!!

Thanks for staying and your wonderful comments . We appreciate your recognition of our well kept condo. Hope to hear from you in the future.
We couldn't ask for a better location. The family loved the short walk to the beach and then to the pool. The local flavor was amazing. The property was perfect for the six of us and allowed us the relaxation we were looking for. Close to fantastic eateries yet easy to stay in for a home cooked meal in the full kitchen. Would return!

Great to hear our place worked well for your family. We really are pleased families appreciate our amenities suited to them. Ray and Lisa
Had a great time at this condo. Loved the open concept kitchen/dining/living room and the enclosed lanai with laundry in unit! The rooms are spacious and welcoming with a beach theme. Gift shops, restaurants, Walgreens, cvs and groceries/liquor store are nearby and walkable. Great location steps from the beach. Owners very responsive and want you to let them know if you need anything which is a bonus. Would definately stay here again!

The online pictures do not do the condo justice , it is very crisp and clean. The beds were so comfortable. Brought our daughter and grandson with us, and we had a blast. The beach is literally right there. We will definitely book here again. The owners even checked on us through text. Great experience!

Beautiful condo at beautiful beaches
We really loved the beautiful, cosy and nicely decorated beach condo from Lisa and Ray. It is perfectly equipped and we didn’t miss anything.
Lisa and Ray the owners are very easy to work with and really focused on their customers. Even a shortening of our stay die to personal reasons has been made possible.
We would love to come back.

Thanks so much Heike for recognizing our efforts to assist you. We focus 100% on accommodating reasonable requests and as the owners we make that our priority. Hope to see you again.
We really enjoyed our stay and had a truly wonderful vacation in Anna Maria and in Ray & Lisa's condo! Weather was fantastic with many hours spent on the beach. Everything we needed was there (towels, beach stuff etc). We are a family of four with 2 teenage girls and it was plenty of space for all of us. Apartment was clean, bright and just really nice.
Ray & Lisa was very good to deal with and we got quick response if any question occurred (how to log on to Wi-Fi...)
We had a great time and recommend this place.

House was properly stocked. 1300 SF so plenty of room. Couches and beds were super comfy. AC ran cold and maintained temperature. Owners have lots of beach gear they shared. Kids loved pool and you don’t have to cross the street to get to the ocean. My only complaint was I had to come home.

Super cute, comfy, rooftop views!
We stayed from October 15-20, 2017. Everything was perfect when we arrived. Condo is so cute! Love the beachy look and feel! The rooftop views are gorgeous, perfect for sunset dining! Condo is also conveniently located within walking distance to Anna Maria Beach Cafe, Skinny Burgers, and lots of souvenir shopping! I also recommend dining at The Sandbar which is just a short drive away! Thank you, Lisa and Ray for your perfect Condo! We WILL be back!!

Thank you Kelly for your kind words and sharing your pleasure from a traveler perspective. Our goal is to make our vacation home your go to place and will do whatever we can to make your vacation everything you expect. We would be pleased to have you back.
This property was absolutely perfect for our family vacation.
The condo had plenty of room for our family of six and is beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly need. Including a storage cupboard downstairs to keep all of our sandy beach gear in.
There is a wonderful view of the beach and it was such an easy walk to and from the beach. No traffic to worry about with little kids. Lovely pool too.
Ray and Lisa are the perfect hosts. Can't believe we found this gem and will most definitely book for next year. Thank you.
This is my 4 h stay on AMI. This place by far is my favorite and would highly recommend!
Space and amenities are great! Loved the 2 porches. You can see the beach from the back porch.
Short walking distance to the beach and not far from AMI Beach Cafe. Also, waking distance to Publix, CVS, Dollar Tree, etc.
It was a quiet beach area for us, but not too far to walk and enjoy the party!
Plenty of beach supplies and towels and a cart to take it to the beach. You are so close to businesses but far away enough to feel secluded amongst houses.
Thank you for a great stay
Can't wait to stay again!

Look no further!
We have 4 children and need space! This condo provided an excellent use of space, the bedrooms were larger than your typical condo. The open floor allows a great place to visit, while taking in the view of the water! I loved the different patios and the access from all rooms! The area is quiet, but centrally located and close to trolley stops! The owners are wonderful to work with and provided a personal touch to your visit with informative emails. They were also helpful in providing our family with a spectacular visit to Anna Maria! Thank you!!!

Hi Holly!
We are so happy that our condo setup was perfect for you and your family and you had such a great time. We feel that space is just as important as location. Since we do stay there, we want our guests to be as comfortable as we are.
Thank you again and we hope to see you again!
Lisa and Ray
The closeness to the beach and the beach supplies were amazing. It could’ve been a bit more toilet paper and paper towel towels, but that was an easy fix by going to the store. I would definitely stay there again.
The well-appointed condo was spacious and comfortable. It was ideally located close to the beautiful beach, Walgreens, grocery store, pizza, ice cream and other tourist shops. The trolley conveniently picked up right in front of Walgreens and allowed us to explore the island without a rental car. Ray and Lisa were a joy to work with and had thought of everything we needed. I highly recommend this condo!
When we come to AMI this condo is the first one we look for to see if it’s available. We love the location. Nice and quiet. Love the roof. Husband loves the roof at night.
This property was very clean and in a great location. Loved the rooftop deck where we watched the sunset every night. The pool was so refreshing in the evenings. We will definitely come back.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa & Ray Whitmore,
We fell in love with Anna Maria Island upon our first visit. We purchased this condo in 2016 after looking for two years. This location just seemed perfect for us and our second home. Now we get to share our home with you. Let us be your "home away from home" and we are certain it will become a place for great memories for you as well.
Why they chose this property
The location! Nothing better than stepping out your door and walking to the beach with your first cup of morning coffee or the roof deck to watch the most amazing sun set. The three block walk to shops, restaurants and the AMI Free trolley will be convenient for your family.
What makes this property unique
We previously rented a unit on that looked beautiful on the website. When we walked in, we realized it was just about 750 sq. ft. That took us by surprise. From that point, anything we looked at had to be over a certain square footage. Our little get-a-way is just over 1375 sq ft. Trust us, it makes a difference.
