We had an amazing vacation in AMI. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We enjoyed the pool, ping pong, dock & Tiki Bar!

Until next time!

5 stars

We visited recently with my wife, parents, brother and sister-in-law. The property was incredibly decorated and was setup for a great vacation. Not only did it have a great view of the water but was also a short walk to the beach. Best of both worlds! I will 100% come back again.

My wife and I didn’t know much about Ana Maria Island when we booked our vacation. Based on their high reviews and recommendations we chose to book with AMI Locals for our vacation rentals. We are SO glad we did! The staff was very helpful from booking, departing and answering any questions we had about the Island. I would highly recommend this company to anyone staying on the Island.

The house we stayed in was immaculate and had every thing our group of 8 needed! When you talk to AMI Locals make sure to ask about the Island Life Villa!! This is hands down the best rental

House we have ever stayed in and are already booked again for next year. Thank you AMI Locals!

Love this house!
We loved our stay at Island Life and will definitely stay here in the future. The house itself is laid out well and is updated nicely. However we spent most of our time in the outside area as it is amazing and private. The proximity to the beach was great as well, just a short stroll to the beach made it easy to go back and forth when needed!

Island Life

We stayed at Anna Maria Beach, Island Life rental house. This house was the most beautiful place we have stayed in the past 3 years while vacationing in Florida. The out side pool area was awesome, We enjoyed swimming and just sitting out by the pool. The house is just as the pictures beautiful and plenty of room for everyone. The beach is only 1 house away from the beautiful white beach. We would definitely stay here again.

We had great time!

Thanks Eric for helping us rent this house for our vacation, we had a fantastic time staying on Holmes Beach. The house fit our family perfectly, was very clean, with lots of toys for the kids to take to the beach. We took a very short stroll to the beach every morning and came back to the pool oasis for the hot afternoons while the kids napped. My favorite feature (besides the beautiful beach and Anna Maria clear water) was the pool which became a cool haven for the hot afternoon. Floating on the water and relaxing in the cool shade on lounges gave us the opportunity to be outside all day long. We will be back!

Excellent Location!
This house is perfect for a family vacation. It is just few steps from the beach. The backyard and the pool area is great!

Amazing location, perfect backyard.

We had a great week here. Great communication from property managers, making everything easy to check in/checkout, clear instructions on pool, etc. Less than one minute walk to the beach and pool/hot tub made for the most relaxing week even with quite a bit of rain! Would recommend to friends and would stay again!

Words cannot do this picturesque paradise justice! 

It was love at first sight for our entire family once we stepped foot into Island Life Villa. When you think of a perfect southern island setting, this is the vision that springs to mind! 

Situated in a quiet canal right beside the launch makes kayaking so accessible & easy…a quick paddle around the corner gets you into the Bay & you are spotting schools of fish swimming in the shallow clear waters! Waking up here every morning was an absolute delight for the senses. From the beautiful birdsongs each morning to the egrets & great blue herons cruising by.. you will be mesmerized by Florida’s unique nature on display. The most amazing manatees floated gracefully right past our dock every day, captivating us all! Fish are also plentiful & jumping constantly right off the dock, great for fishing or just watching. 

Our family fun at Island Life Villa continued in the backyard with abundant games: giant Connect 4, ping-pong, putt putt, tiki bar and gorgeous heated pool with views of the canal and Bay beyond!! The firepit makes a great evening spot to gather to unwind. Or head to the beach and catch the sun as it sets for a truly spectacular view. 

Island Life Villa is such a well-appointed property outside & inside: lovely landscaping & thoughtful nautical decor made us feel instantly at home. Plus the most comfortable bed my husband and I have ever slept in! Island Life Villa is an easy 5-minute walk to the peaceful beach, where white powder sand stretches for miles. You will love the frolicking dolphins on display there! Don’t hesitate to make your inspired getaway to Island Life Villa and come away transformed!

Most Incredible House
Thank you for letting us stay in the most incredible house! This home is spectacular from the top to the bottom. From the details in the bedrooms, to the outdoor space, everything brought us so much joy! Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and playing games were just some of the highlights of our trip! Thank you Leigh & Terri for opening your home to us! We can’t wait to come back!!

Beautiful Property
We just spent 17 glorious days at this property and it is beautiful inside with everything you will need. The weather was a little stormy but we didn’t care because we loved the beautiful pool and hot tub the yard and landscaping make it really private, so relaxing and the tiki kept us dry when it rained. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. It is only a short walk to the beach and we didn’t have to cross any roads to get there. Definitely would stay again and I highly recommended it because it is really living the “Island Life”

Well we are packing up after an absolutely AMAZING vacation. This home exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to get back to this Island Life Villa. Thank you so much to Terri & Leigh for making this home available for others to enjoy. This was our first family trip since Covid lockdown, and it was so great for us to relax & enjoy some Florida sun!

We will be back soon! Until then we will have to get "shipfaced" in NC.

This was our third visit to Anna Maria Island and our first stay at this property, and we really enjoyed this house! It’s a recently renovated, beautifully decorated home that’s just steps from the beach. We loved the location of the house (close to a trolley stop, restaurants, etc.), and it was so convenient having all rooms on one level. The private backyard was our favorite part of the property with a large pool, hot tub, lots of seating, nice grill, tiki bar and beautiful landscaping. We also loved having the shallow area and the umbrella in the pool! The backyard got plenty of sunshine throughout the day but part of it was always shaded if we wanted to escape the sun/heat. It was perfect! We were impressed by the management company’s prompt communication and quick resolution of two small maintenance issues we noticed upon arrival. Overall, we had a really nice stay at this property and would definitely return in the future.

Couldn't of gotten a better house with all the amenities so close to the beach. I think we are hooked and will definitely come back.

Hello Paradise

This spectacular island villa exceeded all our expectations! If you’re looking for a modern home with beautiful architectural design and gorgeous interior decor you have to take a look at this stunner and don’t hesitate to book! The over abundance of windows gave the most dreamy views of a marine rich bay that is home to manatee, dolphins, and of course many different species of fish! When we were not busy trying to spot one of these cool creatures we enjoyed a dip in the pool and nightly cocktails by the most fabulous tiki bar. The kids couldn’t get enough of the mini putt that is located next to a cozy fire pit! When we didn’t spend our time at this beautiful villa we ventured across the street to the white sand beach that is home to seashells galore! The beach is maintained beautiful and the water as clear as the blue sky above. The island itself is rich in top notch restaurants that have the freshest fish imaginable, a true ocean to table experience. The Island is home to a historic pier that everyone should visit at sunset, including little shops surrounding that offer some cool take home keepsakes. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and our stay at Island life villa it truly reenergized our souls and made us want to return again and again for the stay and adventure! It’s truly Paradise with the upmost unique details. Thank you Island Life Villa for the exceptional experience!

This property is a must stay. Great location, quick walk to the beach, restaurants and supermarket is right around the corner. House is beautiful and offers gathering space as well as privacy with “two attached residences”. Outdoor amenities - great grill, tiki bar, fire pit, putting green, ping pong and watching manatees and sunsets from the dock were family favorites. Highly recommend.
