This Beautiful 4 bedrooms 3 bathroom townhome ideally located just down the street from the white sand beaches, restaurants and shops. After a day of fun in the sun relaxing by the heated pool in your own backyard oasis. This house has every luxury you could want, The open concept floor plan is wonderful for never making it feel crowded even with multiple families staying. The den area on the second floor is a great place for children to hang out while parents relax in the living room. 3 king bedrooms mean that no one has to compromise during a vacation with multiple couples. Flat-screen TV's, stainless steel appliances, beautiful 'wood' tile floors, granite countertops, free phone/cable/wireless Internet. This home is located close to both a north and southbound trolley stops making it easy to get around the island without a vehicle. It is only a 2 to 3-minute walk to the beach and has beach chairs, umbrella and cart for your uses. Take the trolley to Bean Point, or historic Bridge St. Have a bite at Chateau Anna Maria, or the Beach Bistro or grab a burger and enjoy the game at Skinny's. Go paddle boarding or kayaking in the crystal clear blue waters in the Gulf Of Mexico.

We do our rentals from Saturday to Saturday, if you are looking for a stay that is not a 7-night rental or would like to begin your vacation on a day other than Saturday please inquire before booking as we can sometimes accommodate alternate reservations

“You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property”

​​​​​​​We might be only 7 miles long but Anna Maria has everything you could possibly need for your perfect
beach vacation. Traveling with a little one? All our homes come with pack & plays and highchairs. Need
more? There are several great rental places that have everything from baby gates to golfcarts, and they
will drop them right off at your vacation property for you. No need to pack beach towels we provide
those for you.
Remember we are laid back and on Island time - Flip-flops and shorts are ok for breakfast, lunch and
dinner no need to overpack you will most likely be in your cutest bathing suit or bikini anyways.
No need to pay the crazy high fees to check all those bags! With Publix, CVS, and Walgreens right on the
island you can grab any sunscreen, hair product anything needed, why haul it all with you?

Guests are allowed up to 2 dogs provided they are housebroken and must be friendly with other dogs and people. Pet must be disclosed upfront at the time of inquiring/booking. A one-time non-refundable fee of $150 will be due at the time of booking to accommodate for extra cleaning/pet sanitation. Should we receive complaints from neighbors of barking/disruption we reserve the right to ask you to remove the pet immediately. Undeclared pets will be charged $500 and you will be required to vacate the property. By booking this property you are agreeing to the terms and fees associated with bringing an approved pet. We closely monitor all properties.

4th of July Week

Overall, the property was great. We loved the pool. The location of the home and its proximity to the beach were great. The home was stocked with beach gear and kitchen essentials. The only reason we did not give this location 5 stars was due to the primary bedroom (beside the front door). The primary room was never cool, we had to use a box fan to circulate air. The king bed and pillows were worn and not comfortable.

Great place and location.

Place was clean and well stocked. Street was quiet and despite only being the second home off of the main road it did not pose any issues. Would definitely stay here again. My only complaint was that both can openers were broken otherwise it was great.

AMI FAM VACAY 2023

We LOVED AMI! House was very nice. Great location, nicely decorated and good pool. Our biggest suggestions would be adding a second fridge in garage for as many as this sleeps. Also mattresses need replaced or nice toppers! This home could really use a 2nd AC unit. Never got below 76 even with doors and blinds closed.

Summer vacation

We decided to vacation on Anna Maria Island at the last minute. I found the listing for the Seahorse Beach house and was able to book it a week before our visit. The house was very clean, well appointed and looked just like the pictures. We loved the pool, especially our 11 year old who would have swam in it 24/7 if possible. It is an easy walk to the beach and the bicycles were an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Family vacation

House was as described, walk to beach was not bad but got old with little ones after a few days. Beach wagon was broken when we arrived, it was replaced with a cart we couldn’t make use of and eventually a n identical wagon which made carrying all the chairs etc, easier. The lighter for the grill was on the tv stand when we arrived and was discovered by our 1 year old first, which was strange. None of the remotes had battery covers and two had no batteries, which were replaced by the handyman on his visit for an unrelated issue. Coffee pot still had water in it when we arrived. Other than that house seemed pretty clean but these things made me wonder how thorough cleaning team actually was. Our AC was going out when we arrived, it took a day and a half for us to figure this out, as we turned the temperature down slowly it slowly got hotter until it reached 80 and I reported the problem. It was fixed that same night but not before I was blamed for the problem for having turned it down to 68. I did not start out that cold, but explained we had continued to adjust the temperature down as it kept getting warmer. When the AC tech arrived it was not a frozen unit but in fact needed a charge of coolant. The AC technician assured me I had nothing to do with the problem and that turning the unit down below 70 would not cause a problem. I would never set my air below 70 normally, only did it to try and cool the hot house. I realize air conditioning malfunctioning is an unforeseen problem and not the hosts fault, but I have been renting vacation homes for many years and this is the first time a host has assumed that I caused a problem and told me that it was most likely my fault. The jets in the spa stopped working and I reported that as well, then they worked again but no one reported they had been repaired so I just assumed that someone had stopped by while we were gone and fixed it. Unfortunately the jets didn’t work again on our last night. Maybe there is a short in the system? Idk but I was tired of reporting problems. I’m sure it was great for whomever came after us. I would suggest instructions be given that ac can’t be turned below 70 if that is what they want. We also didn’t leave doors open. I don’t appreciate being blamed for a mechanical failure of the ac, which according to the tech wouldn’t have been my fault no matter what I set it to. I believe him.

Amazing house, location and management

The seahorse beach house is truly amazing! One of the best VRBOs that we have ever stayed in. The pool is phenomenal and the location can’t be beat. Want to go to the beach? it’s a block away… oh and everything you need for the beach can be found in the garage. Want to go to Pine St? Hop on the trolly that is just steps from your front door or take a quick walk or bike ride (with bikes provided at the house) north and you’re there! Need something or have a question? The property managers Emma and Claire are on top of it and so very nice. We literally couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and definitely will be back!

Great Beach House

Beach access right at the end of the street. Wonderful pool which our kids had a blast in daily. Clean and updated home. Most restaurants were all <1 mile away. Two bedrooms were on the main living floor and the other two (kid bunk room and other third king room were upstairs.) It was a little noisy being on the main living floor in the morning if anyone else was awake…kids :) Bikes, beach chairs, pool inflatables, beach toys were all there which was great. Would have liked to have a few more beach towels available (7 at the house for a total of 8 people staying.) FYI there’s a Keurig in the kitchen, no coffee pot. The golf carts were all rented out when we got there so if that’s something you plan to do make sure to do that in advance. Overall, great house!

We loved our stay here. There was a pack and play, high chair, beach chairs, beach toys, pool toys and lots of towels. I brought along laundry detergent, but they did have a little at the house. I wish I would have brought extra garbage bags and dish washer cleaner. Loved it. Will stay again.

Spacious & Homey

Property was EXACTLY what we saw online. It was clean and ready for our family. All necessary beach equipment, bikes and pool towels were provided and a starter stock of bare necessitates made our first night easy. We had trouble with a clicking fan and the management team was on it immediately and very responsive to our request. We were very happy with the location to the beach and all AMI has to offer. We will be back!
