Surfside AMI; backyard oasis steps to beach, heated pool, putting green,+gear!

Private beach getaway with a backyard oasis in a premium location, just 1 off the beach! This fun and convenient private home is a favorite amongst guests who return year after year! Located in the heart of Anna Maria Island, "SURFSIDE AMI" is close to all of the beach activities, shopping, dining, and entertainment. The beloved yellow house has been completely updated and furnished with well-appointed coastal decor. Many find the ground level living to be a luxury for guests of all ages. Jump right into the fun with many amenities included with the house rental: paddle boards, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, baby gear, pool toys, games and bicycles. The best part? All of these conveniences are located 1 lot from the beach, that's about 170 feet or 50 meters from the Gulf of Mexico!

Your vacation begins as soon as you enter the ground level foyer with an open concept kitchen/dining/living room beyond. Glass french doors provide a glimpse of shimmering blue waters, which immediately draw you to the backyard pool and surrounding oasis of fun! Privacy fencing surrounds the backyard which includes lounge seating, outdoor table, putting greens, corn hole toss, and a bocce ball court. When you are ready to head inside, you will find two large king suites, laundry room and a 1 car garage located on the ground level. The poolside king suite has a walk in closet, private en-suite bathroom with a tile shower, TV and door to the pool area. Down the hall you will find another ground level king suite with trundle beds, a walk in closet, vanity and TV. The main bathroom has a tub/shower combo and is located just across the hall. The main living room has a deep, comfy couch with additional chairs and serves as a great place to chat, play games or watch tv. The dining room has seating for 14 with a large table and bar stools at the kitchen counters. The chef in the family will feel right at home in the large, open kitchen, which is stocked with cookware, plenty of dishes and utensils, a traditional coffee maker and a single cup Keurig coffee maker.

The second level is home to another king suite with a balcony, walk in closet, TV and a large en-suite tile bathroom with shower and double vanity. The neighboring second level family room provides an additional lounge area with a comfortable sectional sofa, mini fridge, TV, balcony and trundle beds. Adjacent to the family/trundle room, a private queen suite is tucked away with an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony.

Included with your stay, our fresh linens and towels are carefully selected for comfort and quality. Enhanced cleaning methods have been implemented as well. We love our repeat customers and want you to have a relaxing, beach vacation at the yellow house known as Surfside AMI!

Please note that golf carts must be leased separately through a private rental company. Should you wish to use a golf cart during your stay, we recommend that you reserve this as soon as you confirm your booking. A list of reliable companies can be provided by request.

Great location and pool.
House was as advertised. Some areas of the house were showing wear & tear and needs some attention but generally a good well equipped house. Can't beat the location so close to the beach.

Great Location!
Nice home for multi-generational stay. We are a foodie family who celebrated Thanksgiving and we were pleased w/the well stocked and spacious kitchen. Can’t beat the proximity to the beach-no need for a golf cart. Only glitch was the pool was dirty w/leaves and the heater was not on due to a breaker blow. Management dealt w/it in a timely fashion.

Complete and total perfection!
Our stay at Surfside couldn’t have been more enjoyable! Every imaginable amenity was at our fingertips. We loved the luxurious bedrooms and the upstairs living area was perfect for our post-sunset game nights! Just a few steps from a pristine beach that’s perfect for early morning walks, building sandcastles and sharing the spectacular sunsets! We can’t wait to come back!
