About the host: Hello! My name is Taylar! I am a mother of 2 small children and self manage my 2 short term rental properties. As someone who frequently rents vacation homes for their own family vacations, I keep note of the little things that make the guest experience that much better. My goal is to provide my guests with a home away from home and have them want for nothing so they can completely relax on their vacation!
Why this property? Absolutely perfect for staying with extended family because it provides 2 completely separate living areas. The golf carts are a BLAST!

Jamie P.Wonderful first experience to AMI
This rental is everything you could dream of. A short walk to the beach and all the extras you could ever need. The golf carts were our favorite for evening strolls along the island. Taylar really thought of everything when it comes to making sure her guest have everything they need. She was very responsive with any questions or concerns that arose. Our trip was cut short due to hurricane Helene and we had to evacuate the island but through it all Taylar kept us updated and prepared for the incoming weather. We couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thanks so much again for making our first trip to AMI unforgettable.

Jamie K.Just what we needed
This house was exactly what we hoped for. It had everything we needed for cooking and was a quiet neighborhood. The pool was my favorite part. Beautiful ,,clean ,and private. I am healing my liver and gallbladder and I just needed to rest and relax a few days,, and this was the perfect retreat to feel absolutely stress free.. Taylor was a great host.! We did have a ismall isue with the golf cart and she was on top of it. She is very responsive and on top of any message I sent her. I would definitely book with her again and I hope to in the near future. Mr and Mrs Koster

KellyBeautiful house! Great location!
This house was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and then some. The fact that it’s a duplex worked out great for us too. The pool was used daily, and the backyard was a perfect place for everyone to hang out. A nice quick walk to the beach was an added bonus. A couple issues popped up, but the owner was super quick to respond and get everything fixed. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Fran C.AMI Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool and lanai are perfect for relaxing. The location is so convenient to walk to the beach or just walk the neighborhood. Publix is about a mile away. This is our second year visiting AMI and using this property. Highly recommend.

K. S.Beautiful home rental
We loved our week at this beautiful home on Anna Maria Island. It was clean, well stocked with everything you need, and a heated pool the children loved. It is a perfect location, very close to beach, and great restaurants. The golf carts were an amazing bonus. We will look forward to returning to this family friendly home.

Kathy D.Perfect large family beach vacay home
We loved the location on Anna Maria. You have a choice of a quick 4 minute walk to the beach or use the awesome backyard pool area! The golf carts are an added bonus for fun adventures on the island. Totally recommend this home with plenty of space.

Brittany G.Perfect for multiple families!
We had an amazing stay at Taylor's house! We had two families, so we loved that there was an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit. The upstairs unit has a larger eating area and kitchen, so that was our hangout spot. They are two completely different units with no indoor access to the different floors.Things we loved: - The location was perfect!! We were so close to so much, within walking distance to both the bay and the beach. - The two golf carts were amazing! This was our first time using them to get around, and it was incredible. Our kids loved it and it just added to the island feel. They both worked great! - Taylor was super responsive to any questions we had leading up to the trip and also during our stay. - The beach cart and toys were great. We used them a couple of times when we went to the beach close to the house. - We also really enjoyed the pool and the pool lights. Most of the time our kids swam was in the evening due to the August heat, so the lights definitely made that possible and lots of fun! - Also a tip for families and getting groceries....Walmart in Bradenton delivers to the house. It was so great to not have to go shopping for food after arriving.

My wife and I have been coming to AMI for the last 5 years and looked forward to sharing this with our adult children and friends. The property has everything that you could possibly need. The pool is fantastic, new all weather Cornhole boards were a hit. Shed stocked full of beach gear and carts to lug it 2 blocks to the beach. Taylar is a superhost as far as we are concerned. Very accommodating fast to respond. Will stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Keisha A.Paradise
I have vacationed in so many rentals over the years and have never had a host so responsive and helpful prior and during the trip. I can’t say enough about the rental itself. Our group of two families with 3 small children enjoyed the space and the amenities. So many supplies were offered that we overpacked tremendously. If you’re looking for the perfect beach home with a great location, I highly recommend this rental!

Isabel R.Great location with a beautiful pool!
The location of the house is perfect! Just 3 blocks from the beach! It is an easy walk or golf cart ride. The pool was amazing for the afternoons and really fun with the lights in the evenings! We really appreciated the 2 golf carts that were included as well! When we looked at other rentals we were going to have to rent our own golf carts which would have made the trip more expensive. They also could drive pretty far without concern so it was really nice not having to worry about getting an Uber.The property manager was great at getting back to us quickly when we had questions and was very helpful!The only thing that would have bumped the house to a 5-star stay for me was if the upstairs and downstairs were connected internally. It was a bit of a pain having to walk outside to hang out with your friends who were upstairs or vice versa.

Madeline F.Perfect
This duplex was perfect for our family. The golf carts, pool area, screened-in porch, and easy walk to the beach were ideal and exceeded our expectations! Taylar was wonderful to work with and quickly responded to any questions that we had. She thought of everything and went above and beyond to make our vacation experience relaxing and enjoyable.

Thank you Madeline! So happy you had a great week!
Angela W.Paradise found!
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect for our group. Taylar went above and beyond to help us when we had a problem with the golf cart. She has the house stocked with essentials to make traveling more convenient. The back yard was an amazing hangout for the kids. The house is so close to the beach, with easy access. Don’t let google maps fool you a short two minute walk and you are on the beach! I would rent here again!!

Lana P.Fantastic Rental!
We stayed at this house for a long weekend getaway & were very pleased with the accommodations & the location! Taylar thought of everything one might need while there. The golf carts were wonderful as you could quickly get anywhere & the heated pool was also great. We will certainly be booking this house again in the near future!

Whitney L.Awesome Rental
My family and I rented the entire Duplex for part of a week in July. The house was only a few blocks from the beach, which was incredibly convenient! The house was clean upon arrival and the host thought of everything!! Beach toys, wagon, and umbrella. There were hoses at the end of the driveway and outside the duplex upstairs, making it easy to wash off all the sand and salt before me made it to the house. Access to a coffee maker, washer, dryer, and a golf cart made the trip a breeze and a ton of fun! We spent the rainy evenings playing games in the screened lanai. It was a perfect stay! I would 100% recommend this place to friends and family.

Daniel A.Great experience of Anna María Island
Taylor and Randy were extremely helpful and excellent hosts. The golf carts made for an even better experience as it made it easier to access the island in very little time. The home has an excellent set of amenities from a grill, to beach wagons with beach toys, umbrellas, to a crockpot, and much more. You will not be disappointed in your stay at this great location. We will be using them again in the future for our stays at Anna María or any other available properties they may have.Thank you
