About this house rental
Whether you are talking about the Florida Peninsula or the Sorrento Peninsula, everyone loves the beach! Two hurricanes destroyed our little house on Anna Maria Island in the Fall of '24, but out of the adversity came a beautiful little Italian Villa, built from the ground up and available for occupancy on October 19, 2025! With Mediterranean accents throughout, a beautiful in ground pool, and an adjoining grotto, you will think you are back on the Amalfi Coast. But throughout the home itself, every room is adorned with authentic fish mounts from Florida's greatest game fish, so you will always be cozy and ready for your cheeseburger in Florida paradise. Our Villa, nestled between the beach and the bay, with views of both, may be why the Italians say "Quando la vita ti da limoni, fai limonata!"
This newly finished home backs onto 17 acres of mangrove forest and is situated on a quiet pond which includes a dock for fishing. All towels, linens, cooking utensils and beach chairs are provided. We have enclosed parking for 2 cars. Close to shopping and restaurants, it is perfect for your Island getaway!

Wonderful month stay at AMI home, quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the beach, Publix, shopping and restaurants. Property clean overall, just needed to run dishwasher and re-dry linens left from prior guest. Host promptly sent mixing bowls I requested and included baking pans which was a kind gesture! The unit is two fights up for flood code, which is easy to manage and adds privacy, though the front door has no window covering so at night you feel a little exposed (a window covering would be nice). Beach chairs provided, which is great,also. My only note is for future quests who like to cook, bake and keep a tidy space. The kitchen and closets are a bit sparse for a month stay.There are few hangers (about a dozen total),no vacuum (although they have a broom and dust pan), no crock pot or instant pot, or heavy duty hand mixer (however, a combo mixer for light weight mixing is provided. *I was afraid to use for fear of burning out the engine), and no blender, but not a deal breaker, for sure! Beds had sheets, although extra blankets would be nice. The host said they plan to add a sweeper and blankets for our next visit, which gives me confidence. A small entry rug to catch sand and one under the coffee table would be a nice touch too, though not essential.I'd gladly give it a 5 star rating vs 4.5 if all basic amenities are in place.

An absolutely wonderful experience. At all times both Diana (prop mgr) and John Anthony (owner) made it their mission for our stay to be amazing. Quick responses and ALWAYS aimed to please.Location: My husband and I judge that this location on around 28th St. is the perfect spot in Home Beach. Very friendly, not as crowded and touristy as it is in Anna Maria or Bradenton Beach. We were a block and a half to two blocks away from the beach and just a few blocks away from the bay. We walked to both every day shopping centers were within walking distance about a half a mile Catholic Church five minute drive just ideal location.Comfort: the villain itself was also amazing. Clean, beautiful, extremely comfortable sofas in the living room the dining chairs, the beds, all very comfortable. The major appliances are all top-notch. I wish I had that washer and dryer and refrigerator in my own home.I have absolutely nothing negative to report after our 2 1/2 month stay in the little slice of heaven.
