We quickly acclimated to being a 'local' and fell in love with this quaint beach town. The heart of the island is in its people and small local businesses which are so focused on welcoming all the visitors flocking here. Every guest to the island wants to enjoy those tangerine sunsets, gin clear warm water of the gulf, and sugary white sand beaches. There is so much to love about Anna Maria Island.
Regardless of what a blissful vacation means to you... fishing off a pier, wildlife watching, enjoying a boat ride, dipping your toes in blue waters, sunning yourself on cool sand, eating your hearts desire of fresh seafood, sipping some island cocktails, grabbing a beer and listening to live music, filling your shopping bags with unique finds, mini-golfing with the little ones, exploring the island by bike, joining a sandbar party, spending time with your loved ones, snoozing in a hammock, enjoying a romantic date night with some fine dining or just doing nothing at all but reading a book and listening to the waves under an umbrella... you will find it here.
AMI always finds a way to reinvigorate your soul by pouring sunshine into your heart and writing cherished memories onto your mind. The idea of Once Upon a Beach was born with the opportunity to manage short term vacation rentals for some of our family-owned homes. As we quickly jumped into this next adventure, it became our top goal to provide a unique, intimate, and simplified vacation rental experience for our guests so that all they had to do was reserve, arrive, and relax. Vacation planning should not be stressful and details shouldn't be a concern. Our guests should feel right at home from the moment they step into one of our unique, beach chic, and luxurious homes and immediately start enjoying all the island has to offer. We take pride in our service and the meticulous maintenance of our homes.
