We have rented on AMI several times and 103 pelican had the best house layout and pool of all the houses we’ve stayed at (also nice canal dock where we were entertained by the jumping mullet :) We also enjoyed the ping pong table and cart to bring chairs to the beach. The Sandbar had the best sunsets! We had a great time and are already looking ahead to rent this property next year.
Karen L. - Posted: 1/18/2026
Hi, Edward, thank you for choosing Anna Maria Vacations for your stay at Ama Maria! We love hearing that this home had your favorite layout and pool of all your Anna Maria Island stays. The canal dock and those jumping mullet are always good entertainment, and it’s great to know the ping pong table and beach cart made getting out to the sand easy. You’re absolutely right, sunsets at The Sandbar never disappoint. We’re thrilled you had such a great time and would be happy to welcome you back next year for another unforgettable island stay!!

This was an adorable home! The location is fantastic. If you happen to be there on a Tuesday there is an adorable farmers market a short walk away. The pool was nice and warm. It's a great area. Highly recommend.

Property was clean and looked as advertised. AMI was very responsive to concerns and helped me when the power went out and I needed a place to do a conference call.

Great home very clean
Great experience. The home was very clean and well located. The covered pool area and deck are great. Rented a golf cart, convenient to beach and restaurants. Management was very prompt and professional. Only item of note is the shades on bedrooms along deck don’t provide much privacy. Would definitely stay in this home again.

Relaxing
Nice place, dishes were not the best. Too many mismatched glasses/bowels, etc and nothing had a lid to store anything in the refrigerator.. would have been nice to have several pool noodles.

Great place and location. Peaceful and quiet
Great place and hopefully can come back soon! Only issue we had was with the door code not working properly. Otherwise the beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Being 72 years old, didn't know how to work the TV but hey, I'm done here for the sun and sand.

Sliding doors
Alarms were obnoxious. I understand they are a safety precaution but would have been better not having them
Shane W. - Posted: 7/16/2022
Thank you for allowing us to host you, Shane. Though we understand your frustration, unfortunately, the alarms are a required safety regulation. You were a wonderful guest, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again sometime soon!

Great location and clean property
Beautiful location and wonderful property! My husband and I traveled with our two children and parents. Perfect accommodations for the 6 of us! We loved the quick bike rides to Bean Point and Pine Ave and enjoyed afternoons in the pool! We were disappointed to find that the property does not have bikes as advertised. We reached out to the property manager prior to our arrival and they said there are 4 adult bikes. When we arrived there was one, 3 wheeled bike with a flat tire. A small hiccup as we had only rented 2 children bikes so we had to book 4 additional Adult bikes once we arrived. Other than the bikes, it was a gorgeous and clean accommodation as advertised!
Anna M. - Posted: 3/12/2022
Thank you for your review, Anna. We loved hearing how well the home worked for your family. We apologize for the issue with the bikes and have updated our listing to reflect the current amenity offerings of this home. We hope to see you again very soon! Kind Regards, Anna Maria Vacations Team

Christmas Vacation Getaway
We had a great time staying at this property. We found the accommodations to be accurate and the rental service to be very available. We also loved that we were able to bring our dog. Our only FYI for future renters is beware of the sliding glass doors. They have alarms that go off unless disabled and they are really loud.

Outstanding!
We’ve been coming to Anna Maria Island every Christmas for a decade, and always rented a home on the Bean Point end of the island. We absolutely LOVED Anna Maria. The home was meticulously clean, the amenities elegant and well thought out, and virtually everything one would need during their stay was at hand. The enclosed pool area was a blessing. The dock afforded us sightings of Manatee, and the constant sound of jumping fish. The proximity of the house to the Beach, Two Scoops, Doughnut Experience, area dining, fishing piers, etc,. was near to perfect. The home was also dog friendly, and having our two dogs with us and welcomed by the property made the trip complete. We had a thoroughly rewarding experience, and are in the process of choosing dates for next year to rebook this property. I’d recommend it to anyone.

We were very happy with this house for our first time to Anna Maria Island! Our kids loved the heated pool, pool table, fishing off the dock and the close ride to many different beaches! It was clean and had what we needed! We would book this house again!

Dock and pool and AMI, too!
Couldn’t have been more pleased with this property and the ease of renting it with this company. There was one issue with the garbage disposal, but maintenance came and fixed it. Very pleasant gentlemen to deal with. The property was well-stocked. Wish there would have been a kitchen sponge and one or more trash bags for the kitchen garbage (the one they had didn’t fit the can), but not a big deal. The bikes were fun to use, but the tires were too flat to use for long periods (no bike pump on property and maintenance didn’t think they had one either). Lots of room for the family to spread out. I would happily stay at this property again! Lovely area, gorgeous rooms and decor, and well stocked with towels.
Julie L., Valrico, Florida - Posted: 8/24/2020
Julie, we are so happy that you enjoyed your time at Dockside Retreat! We think it's a lovely property as well! Thanks for letting us know about the bike tires. We will reach out to the owners to see if they may need repairs/replacements and we can certainly ask them about a bike pump to have at the house. We hope that you will visit our little island again very soon and look forward to welcoming you as our guests!
