This place was great! Close to everything and they took the time to think about what people might need on vacation like having beach chairs, toys and an ice chest for use. Very thoughtful. Thanks!

A great location. Short walk to what has become our new favorite Florida beach. Beautiful sand and water and surprisingly low volume which has been perfect. The property itself is great! Comfortable, well stocked, the hang out nook and the laundry really stands out! Everything has been great!!

The house was perfect for us! We could not have asked for a better location on the island! The owner went as far as making sure there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, cooler for us to use at the beach. I will be returning! Cheers!

The Beach Shack did not disappoint !!

This property was really perfect for our group of 1 adult and 4 teens. It was very clean and had everything one would need , whether you wanted to cook or go to the beach. Speaking of the beach , a very short walk across the street and you are right there!! There was also easy access to the local free trolley that can take you up and down Anna Maria. We loved this place and highly recommend the whole area !

AMI Beach Shack

The AMI Beach Shack had everything we needed for a girls' beach weekend including beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. The location was great, just three blocks to a beautiful beach and a short trolley ride to restaurants and shopping. The Shack itself has been completely redone and is clean, comfortable and cute. The Vacationado hosts were easy to reach when we had questions and communicated quickly. We enjoyed our stay here!
