Escape to AMI
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental property is a block from Holmes Beach and a short walk to groceries and a strip mall. The palm trees, pool, and grounds are isolated from the traffic since it is located at a dead end street. Clean and up to date furniture. Kitchen well-supplied.

Perfect place near the beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely LOVED staying at the Sea Turtle! The property was well maintained and decorated, and it was perfect for our family or 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool was crystal clear, and actually cool and refreshing on a hot day.. I expected it to be warm like bath water. The location can't beat, easy walking distance to the beach and shopping. I'm already dreaming about when we can book it again!

Wonderful Week in Paradise
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 5 had a magical vacation this past week. We stayed at Mi Happy Place Sea Turtle 4 and it was just fantastic! A week of life long memories were made. The accommodations were great. My kids especially liked the hammock. My favorite was the little porch off the family room as well as the porch off the kitchen so we could eat dinner outside each night. VERY short walk to the beach= great location. The dishwasher and tv remote weren't working when we arrived, but management was able to get them fixed after a few days. All in all - it was an A+ experience.

Perfect Spot
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property description and pictures are accurate. It has everything you need from towels and beach supplies to a well equipped kitchen. For beach supplies, we had a wagon, 4 chairs, umbrella and some beach toys. You can't ask for more! We loved being able to walk to Publix, CVS, and Dollar Tree to stock up on what we needed for the week. Within walking distance is Skinny's Burgers, Dunkin, decent gift shops and the best burrito place, Los Chiludos! Of course Manatee Beach and trolley stop are also a very easy walk. It was a perfect vacation spot!

Happy at Mi Happy Place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the best rentals we have stayed in at AMI for our needs and preferences. The property is compact but well planned and very nicely furnished. The linen, kitchen equipment etc is all good quality. We especially liked the outdoor space around the property and the privacy if you wanted it. We loved the pool which is a good size for lengths swimming. The laundry room is good. The property is very convenient for walking to Holmes Beach, Publix etc. The only real drawback is the small shared bathroom, but in a property of this size and age this is inevitable.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to AMI for 17 years.This was our third year at MI Happy Place. It is an excellent location except for the non stop traffic trying to get out of 6th Street. It is a really quiet area for the most part. WE would love to come back but unfortunately the price hikes have made it impossible. The unit we were in has doubled in price over our last time here. So sad for us snowbirds who have added to the economy of this beautiful island over the years are being pushed out because of this. Maybe will be back in a few years when the insanity stops.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice small condo. The only negative was the extremely basic Dish TV service. Not that we watched much TV but missed a big game because they didn’t even have ESPN which I thought was mandatory for all cable and satellite services

Fishing trip.
We have been coming to Ana Maria for several years now and this is by far one of the coziest comfiest places we have ever stayed. Quiet neighborhood, no traffic and ample yard space:) The convenience we really liked is the digital key we never had to worry about losing a key to the house when at the beach or on the boat fishing. This unit had everything we needed and was close to the beach. The beds were very comfortable too. We hope to be able to rent this unit again.

Great location, great rental!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mi Happy Place Sea Turtle was a perfect family vacation spot. The condo was in a great location near the grocery store, main beach, 2 blocks from the bus stop, yet felt private and secluded since it is on the end of a dead-end street. And it was easy to walk a few blocks over for a less crowded beach experience if desired. The on-site pool was fantastic and the free on-site laundry was an added bonus. We would absolutely stay here again, the whole experience from booking to check-out was great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pool was spotless as was the weather and the marvelous neighbors in our complex. Such a perfect spot to walk a bock to the ocean for my morning 2 miles. The sunset across the road at the beach was a nightly gift! My friends and I loved the bands at the beach every night. I’m going back in 2023. Already booked!

Great time at great location!
Everything was nice and smooth! Beach extras were great and had no issues with property/stay. Nice being right across from Holmes Beach and a short drive up to AMI. Extra blankets had stains, but just a small takeaway from everything. Thanks!
