My husband, adult son and I were planning a much needed vacation kind of last minute. We had lost the original house that we wanted because we had to wait for some money to come through. So, we settled on this property even though it was a bit farther from the beach than we wanted originally. But, when we got there and saw the property, I was extremely glad we ended up there. The place was immaculately clean and open and convenient. And, the pool area was so beautiful and very private. It has a number coded front door lock and that was extremely convenient. We had a small problem with the air in the first 24 hours. I texted Monday morning to let them know that it was pretty warm and humid. They literally had someone there within 20 minutes to check it out and within an hour, we had nice cool air blowing through the vents. The kitchen was also very convenient and well stocked. Obviously, we were very happy with our stay and highly recommend it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us, Dolly. We are glad you enjoyed the home and communication with our team. You were terrific guests, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
House was better than advertised. Very clean, spacious, and well decorated. We had everything we needed including beach towels. It was an easy walk to the back and the kids loved the pool.

Nothing beats arriving and finding a home that's even better than you expected, Nicholas! We're so glad Blissful Bungalow by AMI Locals exceeded your expectations. From the clean, spacious layout to the thoughtful touches and beach essentials, it's wonderful to hear the home had everything your family needed for a relaxing stay. Having the beach just an easy walk away and a pool waiting back at the house is a pretty great combination, and we're happy to hear the kids had so much fun making the most of it. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome your family back for more beach days, pool time, and unforgettable island memories!
This property looks exactly as pictured. Great layout with plenty of room for the family and updated decor. Outside pool area is great but does not get much sunlight so made swimming a little chilly- but it is a great pool. The only suggestion would be improving the cleanliness of the kitchen area. The ice maker and outside shower did not work during our stay. Location was very central but did not really allow us to rent a golf cart because of the main busy road. Overall a nice stay for the price in January.

Thank you, Karen! We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you too for your suggestions and feedback, it is a great help to us to be able to review with our team and improve. We hope you will return again, you were wonderful guests!
Beautiful Property. Photos are not misleading. It is a great oasis from everyday life. Pool heater didn't function perfectly, but other than that everything was top notch.
This house was Great! At the end of a quite cold-a-sac and located right in the middles of Anna Maria Island so we were a quick golf cart ride to anything we wanted to do. House was beautiful! very clean and really, really cute. I love the way the owner has it decorated, I wish they would come help me decorate my house! Nice outside area, plenty of seating around pool and very private. Would definitely recommend!
