House is well stocked for a large group or family. Great location close to the beach and next to a trolley stop. One minor suggestion is to have a refrigerator in the lower garage area for easy beverage access around the pool.
You will love this house! We had seven adults and four children with the youngest being two years old. The layout worked perfectly for any privacy anybody would want. The location is awesome. It literally took less than five minutes to walk down the road to the beach and it was a perfect part of the beach! The host was excellent in communicating. It was well worth heating the pool. The toys and bikes, and all the extras that you normally pay for and leave was so appreciated. There is literally nothing here that will disappoint.
The house was perfect for our family of 11.The pool was great and the little ones really enjoyed itThe house was really furnished with extras.Since we flew in we were pleasantly surprised to see all the beach and pool supplies. We would definitely stay again.
House was on the main strip through town which made everything we wanted to do close. Rented golf carts and had the best time. Rooms are big and nice. House is very well maintained and had everything we needed. Communication was quick and Jim was very helpful with anything we needed. Highly recommend
Beautiful property only 3 blocks from the beach. Wonderful area to hang out, eat, and shop. We were lucky to have beautiful weather all week. We would definitely visit again.
Lovely property. We had a great time during our day. It’s a hard place to leave! Thank you!

Housekeepers need to do a better job of cleaning. Water filter on the fridge needs to be replaced, we had little ones with us so we chose to buy water. Needed more than 2 towels per bathroom. Had to wash sheets in a couple rooms upon arrival. Everything else was nice.

Hi Teresa, thank you again for staying at Sunset Landing. I really wish you would have mentioned those things to me when you arrived and we could have had them taken care of.
- There are supposed to be 4 bath towels in every bathroom. If there weren't, my cleaners would have gladly run additional towels over.
- I replace the water filter in the refrigerator a couple times a year when I'm down there. It must have just come due, but nobody mentioned it. I apologize for that. I will have that replaced.
- I know you mentioned that one set of sheets didn't look clean, but the cleaners assured me they washed them all. They did offer to run out another set of sheets if you would like, but you chose not to. I apologize that they didn't look clean and you felt the need to wash them again. I can understand how that would be disappointing.
- I usually get compliments from guests on how clean the house is, so I'm surprised that you're saying they need to do a better job. I'm assuming you were just referring to the sheets because you didn't mention anything else to me while you were there.
Again, I apologize for anything that didn't meet your expectations. I really strive for everything to be 5 star quality, and if it's not, I will correct it when I'm informed and given the chance. I hope you give us another chance to provide a 5 star vacation.
We had a great trip to Anna Maria. The house accommodated our entire family of 12 and had everything we needed. Its very close to the beach as well as the Publix and great restaurants like the Sandbar, Ugly Grouper and Ginny and Janes. and The Feast. Ginny and Janes.
We had an excellent stay at this location! The house was a perfect size for our family of 12. Jim was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay. We’re looking forward to our next visit to Anna Maria Island.
There were minor damages inside the house but overall we enjoyed.

Hi Carl, I appreciate you sending me those pictures of where the touch up paint is needed. I will be sure to touch those up during my next trip down. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!
Great place to gather for all ages. Beach within walking distance and free trolley to the Island. Lots of stairs to access living area and more stairs to the upper 4 bedrooms. Owner response was very timely. Would have been nice to have a floor plan included in pictures before booking.
We had a very enjoyable week at this property. The property is comfortable and well-stocked with kitchen items, beach comforts, and games. Jim was very responsive when questions / issues arose. The kids loved splashing around in the heated pool and it was an easy walk to the beach.
The house was as advertised, and Jim was absolutely great when we needed to get ahold of him. Very easy walking distance to the beach. The trolly stop is right next door, great for getting around the island. Our family of 11 had a great time and never felt overcrowded in the home.
We had a wonderful family vacation. We all enjoyed the bicycles provided, and the pool after a hot day at the beach! Jim is quick to answer any questions regarding the property!
This was our second time staying here. Everything was clean and just as described. There was lots of beach gear and cooking supplies that made our stay very comfortable. Will be back again.
Great house, nine if us, parents, two grown daughters and five grandchildren, ranging in age from 78
The house was spotless clean, everything we needed was there. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, all beach necessities. Beautiful pool area, outdoor shower, we all LOVED it. Our first time visiting AMI, definitely will not be our last.
We loved the house. It accommodated all 9 of us very well with everyone have personal space as well as together space. Kitchen was well stocked to fit all of our needs. We loved the pool. Since it was a little cooler when we went we paid extra for a warmer pool which was great and well worth it. Close walk to the beach which we did several times each day.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Magnus
Our family purchased the Sunset Landing Beach House in March 2017 because we fell in love with Anna Maria Island! We gave the house some fresh updates and we look forward to creating memories along with you in this beautiful home in paradise! We gave the poolside covered lanai a luxurious update with tongue and groove ceilings, some new, high-end lounge chairs and a wicker dining table set that seats 8! Plenty of seating by the pool. The landscape was also given a fresh makeover. We continue to stay on top of maintenance and upkeep so the house maintains its 5 star appeal. Come stay with us and you'll surely want to come back. We're committed to doing everything we can to make your stay very enjoyable in our home and we know that you'll enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
Anna Maria Island has everything we were looking for in a perfect vacation retreat. The beaches are the best that we've ever been to with the quartz white sand that doesn't get hot and the beautiful Gulf sunsets. The temperature on AMI is perfect all year long and the Gulf doesn't get too cold either. It's easy to get to AMI from multiple different airports or as a short drive for Florida residents looking for an escape to the Gulf Coast.
The location of this beach house couldn't be better. It's in a beautiful, beachside neighborhood, but yet you can park your car and walk or take the free trolley everywhere. It's 2 blocks from the beach, 4 blocks from shops and great dining in Holmes Beach, 6 blocks from the Manatee Public Beach, and about a mile from Publix, CVS and the Manatee Ave Bridge to get to the mainland.
The beach house itself is PERFECT for gathering multiple friends and families to create wonderful vacation memories. With 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it sleeps 12 and there's plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax comfortably. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful, private tropical pool and lanai and all of the fun games that the home has to offer!
Welcome to paradise at Sunset Landing AMI! RELAX...you're on island time!
