Great location

This property was nicely renovated. It was the perfect size for us (a couple and two dogs). The backyard was adorable and the pool was beautiful. We also appreciated that the back area was completely fenced in. The location was convenient to all of the restaurants and shops on Pine Ave and we were able to walk everywhere. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Little Home on AMI

This beautiful home was a perfect fit for our family, including our 18 and 16-year-old children, offering ample space for everyone. A fantastic bonus was the small pool in the backyard, providing a refreshing alternative when we wanted a break from the beach. Although the house is located on Pine Street, which is a lively area with coffee shops and boutiques, its position set back behind the main office ensures a surprisingly quiet and peaceful stay. While being on a busy street could be seen as a potential drawback, the tranquility of the house itself and its overall charm are not diminished.

Clean and great location

The house was the perfect size for our small family. It had everything we needed. Beautifully decorated and very clean! Beds were comfy! Pool area was wonderful! Management company was very attentive and easy to communicate with. Wish the AC could have gone a little lower to cool us off a bit more, but it didn’t bother us too much. We would definitely to go back to this house again!

Weekend Away

Perfect weekend getaway for my family of three. Amazing location right on Pine Ave. Within walking distance of local restaurants / shops and a short drive to the beach. Despite being on a main road the space was quite and felt very private. The cottage was very clean. My son’s favorite part was the newly installed 3 hole putting green in the backyard. We explored most of the island by renting a golf cart (which I was able to reserve when booking this property). The golf cart was on property when we arrived and provided a fun way to tour the island. Overall a fun weekend with my family.

Everything about this property was wonderful! The pool was where we spent most of our time. And, the putting green was a fun activity. We also enjoyed having bikes to get around and to check out all of the sights. The location was perfect, beach was a short walk in one direction and the city pier in the other. Restaurants, coffee, and shops all within walking distance. The property manager was quick and efficient, and the communication was great - no problems with anything. We LOVE AMI and we will be back soon!

Wonderful Cottage, Great Location

We stumbled upon this cottage while planning a girls trip of four to Anna Maria Island and were immediately sold on the decor and layout of the cottage on Pine (who doesn’t love a pink kitchen?!). Bonus points for the private pool in the back, complete with outdoor shower, putting green and a few little lizard friends roaming around! The space was ideal for our long weekend, conveniently located to shops, restaurants and at a mid-point of the island with easy access to either side of beaches. We opted to rent a cart from Once Upon a Beach and it was already parked in our driveway upon arrival. The amenities of the home were good for what we needed. All the necessities for a beach day were provided (chairs, noodles/floats, umbrella) which was much appreciated! However, the four of us quickly ran through the 4 bath towels provided and there weren’t additional pillows/sheets/blankets should one of us choose to sleep on the couch/had there been a child along for the trip (listing says sleeps 4 adults and up to 2 children, we did not have any with us). Lastly, while we probably chose the hottest week to visit Florida, and we expected some heat, the AC struggled to get down below 75 every night which was uncomfortable. There was a box fan provided with the house so we did utilize that to assist with the air flow. Overall, this cottage was the ideal spot for us on the trip and would highly recommend it to future travelers.

Perfect location…

Location location location. Short walk to the Bay or Gulf (5 minutes tops) as well as AMIs go to eateries. The cottage is all a family of 4 needs for a stay on AMI. We live in a fairly large home so the smaller size of the cottage brought us closer together. If I had to be really critical I would say the backyard could use some more shade, perhaps a small tiki hut with shade for 4 chairs or something of that nature. I mention this because the pool water was hot. Again I’m being very critical here but honest. Also, if you are out at night the artificial turf seems to attract mosquitoes so use bug spray if you decide to lounge in the back lawn in the evenings. Aside from that, we would certainly stay here again.

Quick get away

The space was perfect for our family of 3. We had our Moke to get around which was fun. I was concerned with being right in the middle of town there might be a lot of noise but,, there was none. I would recommend this space for a couple or a small family. The only negative I could say is the outside shower and back yard could use some TLC.

Nice property but be prepared for Anna Maria island

The home was clean and great for a family of 4. It is right on Pine street if that is what you are looking for. One of the things I was not prepared for is how difficult it was to get food! There are very few restaurants offering seating. For the most part, all restaurants are walk up to the window wait in a long line to get your food and bring it home to eat it. I was not prepared for that. We ended up driving off the island to dinner on our 2 nights there. Just not what I was expecting. But if you are okay with this then this cottage is a great place to stay.
