We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bradenton beach. The location was awesome...steps to the beach. Great view!! We were able to ride our bikes to numerous attractions. The room was clean and kitchen was was nice. Would definitely recommend!

Loved staying on AMI at this perfect little house. Location was perfect - less than 2 blocks from the beach and central to anything you need. Will be coming back for sure!

This home is incredibly quaint and in a great location! It's so close to the beach! My husband and I enjoyed our time here and wished we could've stayed longer. Allen is a great host and responds in a timely fashion. Would definitely stay here again and longer in future.

I liked how close it is to the beach, and walking distance from restaurants.

Amazing experience and absolutely superb value for money !

So wonderful. The apartment was so cozy and relaxing. Great outdoor space with a 2 minute walk to the beach. It far exceeded my expectations and Allen was so flexible! Even let us stay an extra day we loved it so much. Thanks for the great memories !

We love Anna Maria Island and we enjoyed staying at Allen's place. It is a short walk to the beautiful beach and located in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Access was easy and the Allen was easy to contact for access.

They place was just as expected - perfect size for a weekend retreat for my husband and myself. Good location on the island for walking or biking to restaurants and beautiful beach access right at the end of the block.

The property is great - clean, quiet, in a great location - very close to the beach (less than 5 minute walk through a very quiet neighborhood). It is located, in my opinion, in the best part of the entire Anna Maria Island in Holmes Beach. The setting is lovely with a lot of shade and tropical trees. Kris was very responsive and accommodating - whenever I had a question, I would get a very prompt and friendly reply. Checking in and out was very easy. Great value for the money, especially if people in your party are willing to sleep on the fold-out couch in the living room. Highly recommend, and will definitely return!

Just returned from Kris' place on AMI and it was fabulous. First off, the owner - Kris - is super responsive and answered all of my inquiries within 15 minutes tops. His place (Cabin 1), and really all of Spinnaker's, is a GEM....centrally located on AMI to restaurants, shops and the beach. Both the cabin and the grounds are meticulously clean. The cabin is exactly as pictured, well stocked and very comfortable. The pool - same - just great! While not on the beach, it is a fast 10 minute walk to get tide-side...and a beach wagon and nice chairs are provided. Everything, and I mean everything, is provided for a great vaca. And the price, super affordable. Most times we felt as though it was our own private haven...but when we did meet the other guests, they were fun too. Highlights on AMI....Kokonuts Tiki Hut and the Seafood Shack on Cortez. St. Armund's Circle in Longboat Key is less than 25 minutes with tons of fab shops and restaurants. And then Sarasota is 40 minutes with even more to offer. AMI is super chill with no makeup required. LAID BACK is the best description. Have fun. Thanks Kris for a super vaca. HATED to leave.

Great location, cozy, clean, and super special bc it is pet friendly! Had a great time!

Kris's place was clean, nicely decorated and supplied with all the kitchen necessities. We found Cabin 1 a little small for a family of 4, however we were very pleased with close beach access, and a short walk to the free trolley (very conveniently located). We enjoyed our stay very much and we were very grateful for the pool, dvd's offered and board games. Kris was easy to get a hold of and was available to answer any questions.

First time to AMI, Kris's place was very nice and very comfortable for our family of three. We will be back. The villa and our cabin was very peaceful and the location was just right. The pool was fun for our little toddler and a peaceful and relaxing spot for our family. The local beach was beautiful and we regularly used the available cabin beach toys and wagon. Beach chairs and umbrellas were also used and appreciated. Overall an awesome place to stay in very close proximity to one of the islands amazing beaches.

Great host, very accommodating, friendly and responsive. Clean place with everything I needed, feels like home. The location is great, very central and walking distance to stores, food and the beach. Looks just like the pictures. I really enjoyed my stay. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay. This cabin was cozy in a good way, and was decorated perfectly to put you in the AI mood. The beach was an easy walk away, and the pool was great.

Just left AMI this morning. Our room at Spinnakers was great. The room was very nice. The property is adorable with great landscaping, a beautiful pool, and only two minutes to the beach. Walking distance to many Holmes Beach restaurants and shops. It is a great price for such a good location. I Would recommend to anyone.

We hand an amazing time during our stay at AMBP #3. Michael was a great help from the beginning, and we arrived to an impeccable condo with countless amenities. The location was perfect, just steps from the beach and the Pool was a great addition. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to make a Thanksgiving meal. He provided a "welcome basket" full of snacks, and the Beach Cart was an added plus! We loved Holmes Beach, as it is conveniently located within walking distance of a Grocery Store, Restaurants, Bars, Ice Cream Parlors and a Bike Rental Place (highly suggested). We took advantage of the grills, and enjoyed how quiet the building was. We will certainly be back!

We had an amazing week at this condo. It was so clean, quite and peaceful! We were so happy with the space and storage inside! We had 2 young kids who slept on the sleeper sofa and we felt like we had plenty of room. The back patio was a great private place for us to store our beach stuff that we brought with us. The sportbrella, chairs and beach cart were all great additions to the condo. We found this location to be the best on the island (we have stayed in other spots) so much so that we don't really want to tell people about it, lol! The only thing standing between you and a great beach is a very quite road with barely any traffic. We were there at Spring Break time and the beach near the condo was not busy at all, it was so peaceful and enjoyable! We used the pool a few times which was also peaceful. There are laundry facilities that require quarters, we used these as well and we were happy to have them just down the hall from the condo. When we arrived we were greeted with a great welcome basket from Michael, what a nice touch! We can't wait to book this condo again in the future!

This is a lovely and relaxing place to stay. We found it very well situated, relatively close to Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria businesses, but it is very private, quiet, and secluded. The selling point is the easy access to a less populated beach for walks and beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was well equipped. The wi-fi was great. No cell service for us (but not something we minded). The apartment is well cared for and was very clean. Michael was easy to communicate with. Don't hesitate, especially if your goal is to get away from it all.

This was a great one bedroom condo with a pool and located directly across from the beach. Close to all amenities and walking distance to many restaurants. It was clean and everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

This was a perfect place for a beach wedding near 45th St but we also agreed that it would be the perfect location on the island anyway! A short walk up the beach as the property is super close to the beach at 35th. A beautifully equipped, well maintained condo and perfect for two.

I actually am from the area and rented this for my boyfriend's parents. The location is really nice and central on the island and within walking distance to the local grocery store as well as the beach. The house was clean and very easy for them to manage on their stay. He even set out a nice little welcome basket with goodies and coffee! Although we never saw him in person the experience was nice. Thanks, Michael!

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed and more - we made especially good use of the propane grill and the blender for our food and drinks! We loved the beachy decor and cozy feel. The location was great, just a short walk to some shops, Publix, and the beautiful beach. Michael was a great host too, friendly and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommended. Can't wait to return!

My family has gone on several beach vacations in numerous states, and this is by far our favorite place to stay. The description of the proximity to the beach was accurate and very helpful. We all enjoyed the pool, even me, and I never go in the pool unless it's very warm and clean. We enjoyed being able to run on the beach and walk to the stores when needed. The condo itself was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Beach cart and supplies made our packing much easier. We liked having the backyard space for privacy too. The construction across the street was not an issue, as they were actually more quiet than some of the neighboring vacationers with their kids yelling in the pools, and those weren't a problem, either:)We met several other families renting in the same building, and everyone was respectful, friendly, and quiet. This was just right for our family of four who wanted to get some R&R on the beach without having to worry about fighting traffic getting on and off the island, finding parking, and packing supplies. We could just walk out the door, and it was all right there. We even had SUP and kayaks delivered to and picked up at the condo, which made our play time even better! We will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Absolutely loved the Happy Island cottage! Everything was just as it appeared in the photos and we really enjoyed the pool/patio area where we spent the majority of our time. Would definitely return and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

6 girlfriends started looking for a vacation spot to escape our everyday lives for a short time. We got really lucky when we stumbled across this listing. When booking, this host was very responsive and answered all of our questions immediately. Alex met us at the house right on time and was excited to show us around and welcome us home. The home was better than we could have dreamed, immaculately clean and had everything we could have ever imagined needing. We had planned on spending more time at the beach but the pool deck was so beautiful that we often stayed there for most of the day. the electronic locks made it so easy for everyone and we loved that we weren't passing keys around. The appliances were new, the kitchen was granite, the home smelled fresh (you never know if you'll get that musty smell at a beach house!) and the beds were all very comfortable. It was also decorated so adorably. We really fell in love with with whole place. It was very close to the beach and although we rented a car, all the shops and restaurants were within walking distance. We are already planning our next trip to Happy Island Cottage.

This is a lovely home--very clean, well appointed and comfortable. A great location, close to shops, restaurants and the beautiful beach. Alex met us upon arrival with a bottle of bubbly to start our vacation right. He was also helpful in suggesting restaurants for us to try. We had a slight issue with the garbage disposal that he responded to immediately and cheerfully. We were very satisfied and look forward to renting this house again!

Alex and Elena were very hospitable and the Happy Island Cottage a great place next to a great beach.

Wir haben uns gleich willkommen gefühlt, auch weil wir 1 Stunde vor eigentlichem Check in schon vor Ort waren, und das Haus schon beziehen konnten. Wir waren 2 Familien mit insgesamt 3 Kindern. Das Haus bietet mehr als genug Platz für alle. Alle notwendigen Utensilien waren vorhanden und liebevolle Gemütlichkeit empfing uns. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und der gefüllte Weinkühler in der Garage bot uns gekühlte Weine am 1. Abend ohne einzukaufen. Daumen hoch. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Alex was a great host, meeting us at the house and giving a tour and recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. He was very responsive during our stay as well. The house was very nice - very clean and up to date. The photos of the house are accurate and it's a very comfortable home. All of the beds were comfortable to sleep and the kitchen was stocked with utensils, coffee maker, and toaster. The television has cable and Netflix access. The house is very close to the beach, just a few minutes walk. The water is very clear, the sand white, and the beach was not crowded. There were beach toys and floats at the house for guest use. Additionally, there were very good restaurants and a grocery store close by. I highly recommend this house!

Alex was a wonder host, he spent a lot of time telling us about the different amenities of the home as well as offering suggestions for breakfast and dinners in the surrounding area that were delicious and well priced. Alex was always available by phone and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our group consisted of two couples who each had a bedroom and our young daughters who shared the room with the twin beds. The home was immaculate, comfortable, beautifully decorated and looked exactly as pictured in Airbnb. If you're having any qualms about choosing this home - please don't, you won't be disappointed!!! What an absolutely wonderful house, close to so much and we truly felt at home. Thank you Alex and Elena, we can't wait to come back!

We stayed at the Happy Island Cottage and the experience lived up to its name. It was great to have a house to ourselves, that was very nicely located on Anna Maria Island. The beach was a 5 minute walk and their private, heated pool was just outside your door. The place was immaculate, *very* clean, modern, and cozy. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Carla was a great host and her rental was exactly what we were looking for. It was in a very convenient location on Anna Maria Island and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thanks for the accommodations Carla! P.S. if you're thinking of staying at Carla's place(s), make sure to visit Whitney beach a few miles south. It was the best beach we found in the area.

Communication from Carla was great. The apartment was perfect for us (family of four) and was extremely clean & tidy. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect as just across the road was a supermarket as well as other useful shops. Easy base to explore Anna Marie Island and close (walking distance) to a great beach. Would certainly recommend to anyone!

Lovely condo close to the beach. Clean and tidy and easy to get to. Carla was very prompt in responding. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and look forward to returning to Anna Maria Island.

We had a great relaxing stay at Carla's house. It is nicely located: walking distance of the beach and a large supermarket, and 5-10 min drive from nice restaurants. It is very cosy and well maintained, and we definitely enjoyed our time there. Carla was very responsive when we had questions about the appartment prior to our arrival, and gave many great advice, which was really appreciated. We hope to be able to come back soon!!

It was very easy to book, check in & enjoy our stay just less than a minute from the beach!!!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great area. Covenient to grocery store and a short 6 min walk to beach. Condo was very clean and nicely decorated.

Unit was clean and nice. The location is good and accessible to nearby stores and restaurants. Beach is close, might be a little far to walk with kids. Complex was quiet and we were able to relax in the screened in porch.
