Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to: 7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels) 10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels) The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

Great house and location but…….
This house is gorgeous! Beautifully decorated and literally a hop skip to the beach! Plenty of towels, extra blankets and they provided extra TP and little personal hygiene packets for each bathroom which was amazing!!! We had a marvelous time BUT…..we spent the extra money to get a house with a nice pool and backyard. However, we were unable to spend anytime outdoors as we got eaten alive by mosquitos! We went to ace hardware to buy mosquito foggers and personal mosquito spray with the max allowed DEET, and they did nothing! It’s infested! I did message the property company through the Vrbo App but no one responded. The pool was also filthy and never cleaned once while we were there. They also only provide 1 lounge chair! Not that we could have used it but if we were able to be outside, I would guess that more than one person would like to lounge in the sun.We vacation every summer to AMI, we know it’s Florida and there are always mosquitos, however this was next level. My husband tried grilling and couldn’t finish because he got attacked. We couldn’t have coffee on the back balcony either. Anytime you opened the back sliding doors, 10 would make their way in! Ugh!I would suggest to the rental company to have the property professionally sprayed the night before any guests come to stay.We would love to come back to this house next year as it was perfect for us and the location couldn’t have been better, but I think we will look elsewhere due to the mosquito problem!

Great 40th birthday celebration trip!
This house was perfect for my husbands 40th birthday. I surprised him by getting this house and inviting his family. In total there were 8 of us, including two kids. The house was the perfect size for all of us. The decor was absolutely lovely! Our kids enjoyed the pool and the house was stocked with everything we needed including tons of beach chairs, toys, bikes, floaties and games.
We also love the proximity to the beach. It was a short block to beach access.
Our only (minor) complaints were the floors in the house are pretty dirty. We had to wear shoes around the house or the bottom of our feet would get really dark. The cleaning crews need to do a deep clean of the floors. Also, the backyard has a TON of mosquitoes. We all got a lot of bites. So maybe spray? Overall these things didn’t take away from our enjoyment much. Just wanted to include it for people who may be bothered by those things and for the property management company to maybe take care of those things.
Overall we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great Family Trip!
The property was great, very nice and clean. Equipped with games for family and friends to play. In the garage, they had beach chairs and bikes to use. Even had a wagon as well which came in handy. The backyard was nice and relaxing. It was a little chilly, so we were able to heat the pool and still enjoy it. We spent most of our time in the main living area. Walking distance to beach and about 7 min walk from restaurants, rentals, and ice cream shop. We would definitely stay here again.

Nicely updated house. Just a short walk to the beach. The road noise is a bit much but tolerable. Pool and hot tub are relaxing and private. Short walk or drive to shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if we return.

Awesome Spring Breal!
We had a wonderful Spring break! The house was beautiful and very clean. There was a bouquet of fresh sunflowers when we arrived. The pool and spa were warm and perfect after a day at the beach. The house had 2 bikes, plenty of beach chairs and wagon to pull everything down to the beach. Easy walk to the pathway that leads to the beach. The beach was beautiful. The water was clear. We had the best time! There was plenty of room for two adults and four teens. Everyone had a space to hang out together or on our own. I’d definitely recommend staying at this beautiful property!

Vacation from Wake Forest NC
The cottage was clean and was pretty much what the pictures showed. Easy access to the beach. Pool area and pool was nice. I rented it partially because it said gourmet kitchen thinking it would be well stocked for cooking. Was a little disappointed with pots and pans. We came mid Covid and not wanting to eat out. Also the grill had no grilling utensils so made it a little difficult. Was happy that there were bikes to ride. All in all an enjoyable vacation.
