What Our Guests Are Saying

Cory

Our family rented the Bean Point Beach Cottage on Anna Maria Island for a week and we had a fantastic time. The cottage is charming, well appointed and the location is close to the beach, restaurants and shops. The pool and covered area in the back of the house was perfect for our 6 month old to play in the pool and enjoy the Florida weather. The check in process was super easy. We would recommend renting a golf cart to zip around the island. We recommend coastal cottages and hope to return in the future!

Ron Gregg

We have been using Anna Maria Life since they started to manage our house on AMI and we have been very happy with the service they provide. They have very responsive handy persons to take care of urgent matters and have been great at organizing other contractors to take care of maintenance issues, etc. I would highly recommend them for managing rentals and also as a rental customer.
