Excellent Stay and Very Comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Island Serenity. It is in a great location that is close to everything and still feels secluded. The interior is very nicely decorated, the kitchen was well-stocked and the beds and linens were all very comfortable. It was a very comfortable stay and we had a great experience with the rental company that manages it. The only negative that we encountered is that the property's community pool closed at dusk. It was locked by 8:00 PM every day. I understand closing at night to avoid noise from the pool, but 8:00 seemed a bit early to us.

AnnaMaria Island

The condo/house is large and spacious, many amenities provided - though some of the beach chairs were broken. Loaner bicycles which would have been great because the island is so crowded. This is only real negative, though not the fault of the owner or rental agency. Wait times of 90 minutes to go out to dinner, insane traffic jams, no green space except on beaches (which are beautiful). We were without water for several days due to leaking water pipes - but this too is no one's fault.

Casual and Convenient

The townhouse in North Beach Village was casual, comfortable and convenient. The beds were in good shape with sleeping for 6 in 3 separate rooms. The main floor had ample seating with a sheltered screened in porch where we spent most of our time. It’s convenient to shops and restaurants on the south end of the island.

Amazing Stay at Island Serenity on Anna Maria Island

We had a wonderful time at Anna Maria Island! It was our first time visiting and we loved every minute of it. The house was amazing! Everything we needed was provided, including all we needed in the kitchen. Check-in was a breeze. The house is immaculate, spotlessly clean and beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and the house is steps from the pool, which was also clean and quiet. It was basically like having your own private pool with the house. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the kids loved the gameroom downstairs! Beach towels and all linens were provided and there were plenty of beach toys in the house and even a large tent/canopy to use at the beach. We loved our stay at Island Serenity and are already looking forward to visiting again next summer.

Games in the garage were a great bonus! We will be back! Beach was close, as was everything on the island. So easy to find your way around.

Lovely townhouse in convenient location

The townhouse is just as advertised - the pictures showing the property are accurate and the accommodations were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Some functional elements of the home need to be addressed such as the patio door needs some WD40 (hard to open) and the kitchen needs more utensils and pans - a whisk would have been nice. It is not set up for someone who loves to cook. Regardless, the appliances are nice and we loved having access to the awesome grill. What isn't mentioned in the description, is the great game room on the ground level. Lots of fun. The walk to the beach took about 5-10 minutes, once we found the shortcut through the property. We also especially liked the 5-min walk to the dog park. Don't miss it if you're bringing your four-legged family member. We would absolutely stay again!

Awesome location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on AMI. The townhouse was great and had everything that we needed. It is located close to a lot of great restaurants…….Hurricane Hanks and The Ugly Grouper were both really good. We had perfect weather all week and the beach was amazing! Clear water and white sand, only a 5 minute walk. They have all of the beach items that you need…….chairs, wagon, toys, floats, etc. The kids really enjoyed the foosball and ping pong tables. Our code would not open the door when we first arrived and they sent maintenance over. Tommy was great, very informative. We had an awesome trip and will most definitely be coming back next year! This was our first trip to AMI and we have found our new vacation spot!

Perfect place to stay for our family vacation

We were pleased with the location, comfort, and cleanliness of the townhouse. We were impressed with the accommodations as it met all our needs, including the provision as a dog friendly home. We were able to walk to the beach, the dog park, some restaurants, and shops from the townhouse. We appreciated the privacy and private setting of the neighborhood. The pool was really nice; warm and clean. We had the best vacation, and the place we lived in for nine days greatly impacted our enjoyment. We won’t stay anywhere else on Holmes Beach!

There were plenty of towels and dishes utensils your basic kitchen stuff . Beach chairs, floaties and balls + kids sand buckets all in the garage .all in all I loved it, we stayed 3 weeks and I have no regrets the home is Amazing and will return in the future if available. ❤
