The stay was amazing. Check in was easy and we 100% would want to come back. Walking to the beach and the sunsets were amazing. Wish we would have known about the sandbar restaurant earlier. Eating watching the sunset was incredible.

So glad to hear you had an amazing stay at Slo M'Ocean, Corey! Easy check-in, beach walks, and those sunsets are hard to beat. And yes, the Sandbar is a local favorite for a reason. Now you’ve got it locked in for next time. We’d love to have you back for another island escape soon with AMI Locals!

SLO M’Ocean is very close to the small beach by City Pier (being rebuilt) and the Waterfront restaurant. The house is ideal for two people. A small problem with beach chairs was rectified immediately and two brand new ones were dropped off within a couple of hours. Stellar service. The house was clean and tidy and has everything we needed. Thanks for a super vacation ( and for laying on superb weather in January).

Very relaxing. Everything you needed was walkable. From resteraunts ,gift shops general store and cart rentals. Inter coastal beach was less than a football field away.
Swimming beaches was maybe 1 mile. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Several setting places outside for all weather conditions. Great house for a small group of people.

The only issue we had was that there was only limited toiletries provided and we were told to buy extra toilet paper if need it. There was also no beach towels available so bring your own. Otherwise everything was great, it was clean, beds were comfortable enough location is amazing you can walk to a small quiet beach in 3 min and lots of restaurants are in walking distance.

Absolutely beautiful place in the perfect location. Super clean and updated furniture, appliances, floors, etc. Beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets and comforters were lovely and soft. We especially loved the outside seating and enjoyed our meals outside under the palms. The back porch has a great washing station/outside shower which came in very handy after a trip to the beach. Very short 1 block walk to the bayside beaches and city pier. Also 1 block to great restaurants and coffee. Just a short walk to the Gulf beaches too. Loved it. Would stay again.

Comfy Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was bright, clean, well equipped and the beds comfortable. Check in was a breeze. It was quiet, with the exception of construction next door during the day. We hit the beach early and stayed all day so it didn’t bother us. We rented a golf cart and could go anywhere on the island. Our son loved that. We will be coming back. The only thing I would point out to management is that the stove top is easily turned on by leaning/bumping into it. This happened twice while we were there and we didn’t notice until the eye was bright red and very hot. Thankfully, we didn’t have anything stored on the stove at the time. I would suggest property management put some type of lock on the knobs if possible.

Really enjoyed our stay here
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Slo M'Ocean on Anna Maria Island! The cottage is in a great location on the island's northern part and is beautifully decorated with a lot of genuine Florida beach town charm. Very clean and well taken care of. The bedrooms are lovely and very cozy, our kids loved their bunk beds, and the kitchen was well-outfitted with dishes and cooking utensils so that we could cook. We spent every morning walking the beach and then returning with our coffees to the porch. Cannot say enough about how nice our vacation was, we will be reliving our memories here until we return next year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Highly recommend this property.

Very cute cottage, remodeled nicely, very convenient location a block from the beach. Nice little private yard. Cozy for 4. Twin beds are fine for kids, comfy main bed. Bonus points for providing beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and a beach pull cart, it was a lifesaver!

Everything in this location is exactly as described- it is fresh and clean, recently remodelled, and very close to the city pier (which is a trolley stop.) It's an easy mile walk to bean Point beach, and only 5-10 minutes to plenty of restaurants. It's on the more quiet side of the island and has a nice screened in porch off the back you can hang out on! it has a dedicated parking spot which is hard to come by, but honestly you do not even need a car if you stay here. We would definitely stay again!
