The house was perfect for our group. My wife and I; 6 of our adult children, with 3 of their significant others; and 3 grandkids. We enjoyed the pool with a hottub on a canal for our tritoon rental; we had a couple of golf carts. Everybody had a great time.

This house has been perfect for our family for three summers now. Excellent layout, beautiful furnishings, close to the beach, great pool! Always clean. This year we missed the sectional that use to be in the living room, but the new couches were comfortable too. Hoping to go back again!

We had the best time at Serenity Beach.
The house is beautiful. Rooms are lovely and big, pool area is fabulous, location was amazing and it made the holiday to have manatees come up to the dock. We had a boat too so the dock was fabulous.
Could do with some cushions for the sunbeds as they are very hard and get super hot.
Had everything we needed in garage such as beach chairs, umbrella and carts.
Overall 10/10.
Also excellant service from AMI Locals.
Great pre Christmas trip! There is possibly no better backyard than at this home! The pool area is like it’s own resort pool. The house is huge and clean but could use a few upgrades. The master bed was not very comfy and the bedding seemed worn. The small appliances toaster and coffee maker were really cheap for such a nice house. You can never go wrong with Anna Maria and this house is close to everything including the best sunsets you can find!!

Beautiful Home
House is beautiful and definitely on the higher end side. The only thing I was left wanting were a couple of ceiling fans on the second floor terrace. Would help with the heat and mosquitos. But it definitely would not deter me from coming back. Everything else was perfect. Ashley the host was easy to deal with.

Lovely back yard. Well appointed seating in and out. Charming decor inside..
Well maintained, home stayed cool, pool was clean and numerous places to relax. However, the only 3 pans in the draw were disgusting with food & rust on them. Not good to find when you go to cook breakfast and cannot. Steve at AMI took excellent care of us as soon as we told him. Back with new pans in 7 minutes!! Couches are exceptionally comfortable sadly the beds were not. Showers are wonderful with excellent pressure. Plenty of lovely nooks to nap and a wonderful view of canal. I would highly recommend this rental. For the foodies! Must give 5 stars to Island Grill....THE BEST takeout food we have ever had! For those that rise early for breakfast..not many places open early so plan to cook or try Rod & Reel!!

Large Family Rental
First, let me just say that Ashley was fantastic to work with. I would definitely rent from AMI locals again.
The house was just as pictured and was large enough for our group of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids) and there was even an extra bedroom. The pool was very large and was great at night. We fished off the dock and saw manatees too.
I gave the house 4 stars because there were a few issues.
I know things can happen and it was just bad luck, but these were also reasons we choose this house. There was something wrong with the sliding door that affected the air conditioner, the hot tub did not work until Thursday and there was no hot water in 2 of the 4 showers until Wednesday. Like I said Ashley was fantastic she worked on getting all these problems resolved as soon as she heard about them, but we just would not rent this house again due to so many inconveniences.

Hi Sam – Thanks so much for your review! I’m glad you enjoyed the spacious accommodations, pool area, and canal access at Serenity Beach, and that your daughter had a wonderful birthday trip! Again, I apologize for the inconvenience with the spa and shower heat. Since unfortunately these items could not be fixed by our maintenance team, we had to call in our pool technicians and plumber which took a little extra time. As mentioned, the sliding door was a system glitch that we have since corrected with our technology team. I appreciate your understanding in our efforts to resolve these issues in a timely manner. I look forward to welcoming you at another one of our homes in the near future. Enjoyed working with you, Sam! :) -Ashley
Would have liked the home set up before we came . We had to figure out seating cushions etc any we never got the tv by the pool to work . Other than that great house / great location .

Thank you Susan for choosing your summer getaway with us and for letting us know about the cushions. Your feedback helps us do better and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are looking into the tv issue and hope to resolve it promptly. We strive to provide the utmost care for our wonderful guests and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again.
We were overall very happy with the property. We loved the pool and all the outdoor seating! The kitchen was very well equipped for our needs. (An ice machine would be a great add). We learned the dishwasher wasn't washing properly - but once we notified the management company a repairman was there the same day. A few negatives - The floors were a little squeaky and we had a few door knobs that were loose. The air couldn't be set any lower than 71 (We are all used to lower temperatures at night time.) The only box fan wasn't functioning, but thankfully there were ceiling fans. The location was a short walking distance (could use some newer beach chairs - and bicycles would have been a great add. All in all this home worked well for the four couples and we had a fantastic time.

Thank you Julie for choosing to stay with us. So wonderful to hear you enjoyed the gorgeous pool & outdoor space as its quite a retreat after a full day of sun at the beach. Your helpful suggestions have been noted and will be passed on to our team. We hope you allow us to host you again on your next adventure to the island.
The Serenity Beach Home was a great house, beautifully decorated, in a fantastic location on a beautiful island. We have stayed in various homes on Anna Maria and this was truly the most family friendly. It is decorated both comfortably and yet beautifully. The bedrooms are all comfortable, the kitchen has a great layout for multiple people to cook at the same time. I love how many areas open to the outside. Between multiple windows and doors the house is bright and cheerful. It's a great house for couples as it has four bedrooms with king size beds. The fifth bedroom has three twins and shares a bath with one of the king rooms. There is also a room right off the family room with a day bed with trundle. Plenty of space. The pool area is fantastic and when we were having a problem with the heat someone from AMI was there in minutes. We walked to restaurants and stores with ease. I suggest also renting a golf cart if there for ease of getting around the island and also because it is easier to find a space that fits a golf cart than a car when shopping or dining at high traffic times.
There is a dock on the canal and friends came in from St. Petersburg by boat so the dock was truly a wonderful feature for us.
The only negative (and it does not come close to touching the positives) is that the house feels like a rental. As if there are no owners that stay there to check the little things. It was obvious that the people that stayed before us had moved some of the outdoor furniture around so it was a mix and match on all levels of the patios and decks, We tried to straighten it out knowing this would be a lot of carrying for the housekeeper on her own. You can tell that renters have left things behind and they get incorporated into the decor. The furniture in some areas was a bit worn or stained (dining room chairs, outdoor cushions). None of these things seem out of character for a rental but sometimes when an owner is there more frequently the house feels a bit more like a home.
Overall, this is a home I would absolutely come back to visit again and again!!!
House was exactly as advertised. Great house in a great location. We plan to come again.

Perfect Beach House
We had a WONDERFUL stay at Serenity Beach House. The property is very well furnished and maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing off the dock and enjoying the pool/spa. The hot tub was nice and HOT on those cool nights! We even had a heron visitor come check on us every day which the kids loved. Ashley was very responsive in communicating prior to check in and we very much appreciated her help! We will 100% come back. Loved this home!
