We had everything we needed at The Beach Shack and it was a short walk to the beach. The Beach Shack was a great place to stay.

Awesome!
Absolutely loved the AMI Beach Shack!! Super clean and comfortable. They thought of everything you could need. The little park on the bay a few steps away is perfect for watching the sun rise... And of course the beach is right there as well.
Great place to stay!

The house was perfect for us! We could not have asked for a better location on the island! The owner went as far as making sure there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, cooler for us to use at the beach. I will be returning!
Cheers!

just beautiful
The house is very well equipped and decorated. Nothing is missing, even beach towels, loungers and parasols are available. Access worked without any problems. We would come back at any time.
We loved everything about this property. The location was perfect, 3 short blocks to the beach, even closer to the bay. Communication with the rental owner/property manager was smooth and easy. Early check-in option was worth the few extra bucks. Property was clean, well maintained, comfortable beds, and kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. We loved the microfiber beach towels so much we both purchased the same ones when we got home! If one thing could use an upgrade it would be the beach chairs, but we are low maintenance and we were happy just to have something to sit on at the beach. A few restaurants within walking distance. Quick drive or Monkey Bus ride to most other places. We were only 2 people, but this house would suit 4 comfortably. I would definitely stay here again.

AMI Beach Shack
A great location. Short walk to what has become our new favorite Florida beach. Beautiful sand and water and surprisingly low volume which has been perfect. The property itself is great! Comfortable, well stocked, the hang out nook and the laundry really stands out! Everything has been great!!

Absolutely wonderful!
The Beach Shack is a gem! It was spotless, very comfortably appointed, and simply charming. Thoughtful amenities made a short getaway easy and stress free. We will definitely book here again if it’s available.
Wow- we were so impressed with this rental! It was clean and exactly as advertised. The location was fantastic ! We loved that so many things were included and provided such as beach chairs, toy, towels , essentials like napkins, towels, soaps, toilet paper and more. The rental was comfortable and perfect for our family trip. We will be back!!!

Great place. Nice for intentions. Not 2 full bathrooms. But great location for beaches and shopping
This property was really perfect for our group of 1 adult and 4 teens. It was very clean and had everything one would need , whether you wanted to cook or go to the beach. Speaking of the beach , a very short walk across the street and you are right there!! There was also easy access to the local free trolley that can take you up and down Anna Maria. We loved this place and highly recommend the whole area !
Had a wonderful 2 weeks at this property. Comfortable and clean with short walk to beautiful Bradenton Beach. A lot of nice and thoughtful touches. Updated. We truly enjoyed the two weeks and will definitely be looking to rent this same site next year.

AMI Beach Shack
The AMI Beach Shack had everything we needed for a girls' beach weekend including beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. The location was great, just three blocks to a beautiful beach and a short trolley ride to restaurants and shopping. The Shack itself has been completely redone and is clean, comfortable and cute. The Vacationado hosts were easy to reach when we had questions and communicated quickly. We enjoyed our stay here!

Staff was fantastic. Great communication. House was as advertised. Thank you again for great service.
We recently stayed at the AMI Beach Shack The unit was very clean upon arrival. The location was great, a very short walk to the beach and the Free Trolley stop! We were very comfortable here, there were 3 adults but 4 would have worked too! The beds were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked for cooking if you choose to do so. The dishwasher doesn’t work too well but if you rinse all dishes really well it’s ok. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and toys for use during your stay which came on quite handy as we flew down. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
