Blown away at location and amenities! Spent 20 yrs renting on AMI, no more......this is what AMI used to be. Laid back, family oriented. Brittany checked us in and was soo very friendly. Room was great, rented for myself, spouse, and 2 adult children and we had plenty of room.
Only thing that was disconcerting was the adjoining room.......we heard EVERYTHING coming from under the door which connects to the bedrooms.
We will book again, but stuff towels under that door to help with the noise.

Location, location, location! Perfect sized complex (2 stories but no elevator), great pool, steps from the beach that is equipped with beach chairs. Parking was easy and never an issue. Units come with multiple beach towels so we didn’t have to pack them. Carts available to help load and unload. Our unit was OK. Size is fine for 2 people. Appreciated the updated appliances but the bathroom really needs to be updated as there is some mold on the tiles. We did see a large but dead cockroach a few days in by the bathroom. It would have been nice to have a luggage rack in a closet. The bed was pretty firm but not bad if you’re used to that. The couch was pretty comfy and long. We didn’t mind having a shared door to the unit next to us, which stayed locked, but it is not sound proof AT ALL. We heard every cough, conversation, phone noise, etc the entire time which kept us awake at times. Not ideal. The screened in porch overlooking the pool and partial ocean view was great as I worked remote from there for two days. Wifi worked well in room. The pool is big, goes to 8.5ft deep and is heated which was really nice. Overall the grounds were never really crowded. Definitely an older crowd. Lots of great restaurants in both directions. So many shells on the beach plus soft white powdery sand. Really enjoyed being close to Lido Key, Bradenton and Anna Maria. We will be back and try another unit with 2 bedrooms.

This was a good little condo. The access to the pool and beach was fantastic. The pool is nothing fancy, but good for my kids because it was never too busy. The fridge had rust on the side but was clean inside. We enjoyed this spot!

Already had submitted my review but to summarize the AC unit stopped cooling the night before we were checking out and the sofa bed needs replacing. It's in very bad shape and impossible to sleep in.
