AMI star

We have rented several houses on AMI and this was by far the best. The location to the beach and the house itself are just great. But the attention to detail of what renters might need in a beach house was top notch. The bikes, the beach toys and equipment and the kitchen supplies, the games, the towels and pool equipment made our stay so easy and luxurious. This property is so great for kids with the putting area, the spa tub, the ping pong table and lots of other yard games and balls. We had great check-in help and when we needed help with the pool temp we had immediate response from the management team. Really, there’s not one negative thing to say. Thank you for this lovely stay.

Annual Visit to AMI

Me and my family have been staying in December at AMI about 7 years consecutively with 4 of those at Dragonfly. We all had a great time again this year. The house is in excellent condition with all the nice amenities as usual. We enjoyed the usual activities at AMI. We spent lots of time at the beach and walking to the shops and restaurants. The property managers Goose and Dan were great to work with as usual. They were very responsive always especially when we needed the combinations to the bike locks :). Its a great house, location, and great support system.

Family return to Anna Maria

Wonderful house, beautifully kitted out, equipped with everything you might need! The property managers were extremely helpful and responsive. The only very small negative is that because of the location of the house and the amount of development work currently underway, it was occasionally noisy around the pool area during the day - although this wouldn’t put us off returning to the property.

Oasis

I have stayed at several properties at AMI. This by far exceeded all of them. The home and amenities are top notch. Items are labeled and extremely organized. Little things like kleenex, condiments and surplus of trash bags were included. We truly only needed to concern ourselves with food and beverages. Homes like this should be the norm!!!

Extensive renovations have created a delightful environment to experience all of the best aspects of the Florida beach lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

A coveted location on North Shore Drive across from Bean Point is the key attraction of this property. A new swimming pool with sundeck and spa, a Thermador gourmet kitchen, and an oversized deck and covered patio are additional assets that make Dragonfly an exceptional venue for family gatherings, weddings, and the creation of priceless memories.
