This is the perfect location with the perfect view. We have stayed at this location previously, but in a different unit. After several years of coming to AMI, this was our favorite location and unit. No need to bring beach chairs or towels as they are provided. Easy walking distance to several restaurants and shops!

This condo was right on the beach literally steps. and provided lots of beach chairs for all guests for all the units. Unit 8 is perfect for 2 people and the bed was so comfortable. It provided accessories for the beach including towels, chairs, noodles, small coolers, boogie board. There is an amazing tiki hut bar/cafe right next door that had live music and other restaurants and shops just across the street. We had the perfect stay !

This was my 4th time to Anna, and the island itself is spectacular. The location of this rental is especially nice if you like to hang out on the beach. The spot is perfect! There’s a balcony with two chairs for watching the sunset, and several comfortable chairs to use day or night!

The condo was perfect. Exactly as pictured and any questions were instantly responded to. Great location to restaurants and a short bike ride to Bridge street shops. We thoroughly enjoyed pur time there and the ability to walk out the door with my towel and toes in the sand. We loved the Cafe next door right on the beach. Nice atmosphere, good food and super convenient. Would highly recommend the condo. Great find.

Had a great time and we were just a few steps to the beach! Got to watch the sun set every night from our balcony. This place offered stuff that we have never had at other condos. Sometimes it’s the small things, like salt and pepper, extra trash bags and my husband’s favorite a box fan! We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely a perfect location! Beautiful and a great place to walk to fun restaurants. They were tearing down the building next door and will be building on to the restaurant next door.

beach house

we enjoyed staying at beach house #8- the location is directly on the gulf we didn't even have to cross a street. there are several dining and drinking venues in walking distance including an ice cream shop and a convenience store. public transport is available to access the rest of the island so next time we used the car was checkout time- highly recommended
