Love Shack on the Water Most desirable location on AMI

Located on Pine Ave just steps from shops, the General Store, restaurants, the pier, beach, pier fishing, and the trolley. Look out the patio with views of Tampa Bay and watch the boats, manatees, dolphins, snook, and birds flock by.
This 2 bedroom 2 bath is a rare find at the Bayou. It is completely renovated with a modern beach vibe. It is a place to relax, escape and renew. When you are ready to socialize, no car needed, just walk out the door and you are in the most desirable area of the Anna Maria Island. Grab a fishing pole and you never know what you will catch.
Walk to the pier or The Sandbar for the most amazing sunsets in the world. Looking for a place of prayer, meditation or a place to elope? Historic Roser Chapel is right next door.

Great accommodations that had everything, including beach chairs. Very close to very nice beaches, walking distance. Close to many options for dining. We didnt rent a car, but you can rent bikes or golf court, and there is also a free shuttle that takes you across the island. The home is very comfortable and clean. Recommend staying here.

This was the absolute perfect choice for our family of five (with a couple young kids). The location is perfect, kitchen is well-stocked, and beds are insanely comfortable! We would like to stay here again the next time we visit Anna Maria Island.

This place is extremely well designed with the space they have available. Everything has a spot. We really enjoyed how close we were to the water and all the shops. The beds were good enough for sleeping and it was really great to come back to the place after a long beach day. Really good base of operations. Fun times in Anna Maria!

This was the perfect place for our family of 4. Beats staying in one room at a hotel. Plenty of space and great location being off Pine avenue! I’ll look for opportunities to stay again!

Having visited AMI several times I was excited to share the area with my sisters for the first time. We had a wonderful stay; great location and perfect space for the three of us.

Great location and place to stay. Easy access to the city pier and restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to get coffee in the mornings and ice cream at night. Accommodations worked great for our family. Bring quarters if you plan to do laundry.

From the moment we entered the “Love Shack”…we knew this would be a fun Anniversary Getaway. It was perfect… clean, very well furnished and kitchen so easy to use. The decor is beach and very comfortable. It is a short walk to the beach, great shopping, and several good restaurants. We loved our time there!

The place was clean and located in a great spot near everything. We got a car which we didn’t use too much. Renting bikes was great because we were able to get everywhere we wanted and toured the island.

Perfect location- we loved being so close to everything, the beach was a block over but we could see it, the canal was cool too and we say Manatees. The interior of the property is very nice- pictures are exact. The beds were Very comfortable! Kitchen was stocked. A cooler would have been nice. The beach towels & chairs were great. We also saw dolphins right out front! Beautiful safe area and everyone is so friendly. Delicious Ice cream right across the street with lots of snack options. We ate at several restaurants including Slims (very local vibe ), the Porch (absolutely amazing- all 4 of us had the best food), the Sandbar (delicious and best location right on the beach)- we wanted to eat at all of them but didn’t have enough time. The location of the market for other supplies was great. The trolley system was perfect. We wish we had another day using that- went to Bridge street and had a blast. Rented bikes several days too- Very nice! Thank you Florida for sharing your amazing island with Wisconsin folks!

We are natives to AMI and came back to visit for the weekend. Max was the best host. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed. Being from AMI I’d have to say this location is the PERFECT spot on the island to stay. We absolutely will be back. The beds were comfortable, living space was big enough to have friends over for cocktail at the end of the night. Will stay again!

Updated condo in prime Anna Maria location. This was a very enjoyable experience. Condo was clean, updated and had everything you needed. The complex is right on the canal and across the street from the pier. Great restaurants in walking distance. Property owner was a great communicator. Definitely recommend.

The owner was very helpful and answered all of my questions! Check in was very easy. The condo was very cozy! The beds were comfortable, and each room had a TV. There was also an air mattress that was convenient and comfortable. My daughter and husband borrowed a fishing pole from the neighbor above us and fished in the canal. They spotted a starfish, and a dolphin swam through the canal, which was both surprising and amazing. The kitchen had plenty of space and cookware. There were people in the unit above us, but we couldn't really even hear them. The property is very quiet and peaceful! I knew housekeeping had been through because the bedding was fresh, etc, but I do feel like the unit could use a good "spring cleaning". The kitchen cabinets needed a good wipe down, dresser drawers had dust and some hair in them and needed a good wipe down as well. It was still a wonderful place but just wanted to mention this tip for the cleaning crew.

We were so pleased with our stay here! The rental had everything we needed and was so convenient. The rental is private and quiet and yet right in the middle of everything. I walked across the road to watch the sunrise over the bay each morning because it was so close and it was easily my favorite part of the trip. We also had ice cream every night at Two Scoops - maybe that was a little too close and convenient ;) The mattresses and bedding were extremely comfortable! The living area and kitchen fit our needs perfectly. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. This was our first time to Anna Maria Island and our whole family loved every minute. We can’t recommend this rental enough! We hope to be back soon!
