GET TO KNOW THE AREA!

Experience the serenity of our world class beaches where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddle board, and fish. Take a morning walk down to the soft white sand of Siesta Key Beach or to little Shell Beach to find sand dollars and an assortment of other sea shells. Head to the South side of Siesta key to check out Turtle Beach; a more secluded beach with less people and great surf fishing on the south end.

Visit one of the centerpieces of Siesta Key, the AMI City Pier where there is great fishing and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Take a stroll down the Coquina Baywalk and Leffis Key to find a small nature walk with peaceful walking trails.

Take the provided bicycles all around the island and search for the 6 beaches that AMI has to offer (can you find them all?); Coquina Beach, Manatee Beach, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, Cortez Beach and Anna Maria Beach (with Bean Point being part of that).

Our favorite Anna Maria Island Restaurants:
•Beach House Waterfront (Excellent Seafood)

•Owen’s Fish Camp (Unique atmosphere, great seafood)
•Baker and Wife (American, great food)
•SKOB - Siesta Key Oyster Barn (Great happy house and oysters)

Perfect St Armands getaway

We were two couples staying in the house which was perfect for our needs. The owner/manager did a fantastic job rehabbing the house post-hurricane so we were able to keep our reservation. There were a few minor issues when we checked in and within an hour or two everything was solved. The combination of a great, well-equipped house, lovely heated pool, location and responsive management made for a perfect vacation. We hope to stay in this home again next year.
