We have been coming to AMI for the past 8 years and this our favorite place. We have stayed at Anna Maria Escape 6 of the 8 times. I love that the beach is right out your back door and that you never have to deal with a crowded beach. it was always a peaceful stay when we are here. the house has all the amenities that you could possibly need and we loved addition of the new couches. We read that sine if the visitors complained about the front door being uncovered, and yes it would nice to have it covered but a spring tension curtain rod and a flat bed sheet work great to give you the privacy you need. This was a trick we learned on year 2 of our stay. I can’t say enough nice things about Island Vacation Properties and their staff.
