Beautiful condo. Very clean. Pool was also very clean. View of bay was gorgeous and very close to an excellent restaurant, The Waterfront, which is a must try. Close to lots of shops, general store, ice cream, etc. We also rented a golf cart so never had to drive. Not even to the Publix. Definitely will be back. Hopeful the washer and dryers will be connected by then. That would be the only thing we would have added. Other than that excellent vacation!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had an excellent stay and enjoyed the beautiful condo, pool, and stunning view of the bay. We're glad the proximity to the excellent restaurant, The Waterfront, and the nearby shops and amenities were also a highlight. The golf cart rental sounds like a great way to get around without having to drive. We appreciate your feedback about the washer and dryer, and we'll be sure to look into that. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thank you again for your kind words!! Thank you, AMI Locals

Walking location to some shops and restaurants. Across from the Anna Maria pier where the kids enjoyed fishing. Short drive to Bean Point Beach. The property was clean and plenty of room for the 7 of us.

We were only here for one night; however, it was quite evident that the property was very clean, located near the water and great restaurants/shops, and we’ll cared for. It was quite private given it is a condo. Will definitely return in the future.

Anna Maria Vacations staff

This was our favorite vacation ever! The property was located right on the water, walking distance from an amazing pier where you could fish, buy food/drink, and see amazing views. Everything was immaculate and the food on this island was to die for. We had our own heated pool with a really cute place to sun bathe. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The property managers where very attentive and checked in frequently to make sure we had what we needed. We will be back!

Leigh D. - Posted: 3/22/2021

Thank you so much Leigh! We are very proud of Blissful Bay and we are so happy that you loved it as much as we do! Please be sure to visit us again. We would love to host you on all of your island adventure!

Anna Maria Vacations staff

If you want to be close to the pier and some restaurants this is a very nice place to stay. Great open layout and totally updated. I had a few questions after check-in so texted with the property management, and they responded immediately both times. I would book here again.

Katherine H. - Posted: 3/20/2021

Anna Maria Vacations staff

We went for a short stay on AMI. This adorable condo didn’t disappoint. Entrance is out of sight from road, by the pool. The pool was nice and quiet and great for the kids to swim. The inside was decorated super cute. It accommodated our family of 4 perfectly. Ocean view from guest/kids room. Comfortable beds! Convenient location, next to pier and dinning. We’d definitely stay at this property again. :)

Mark D. - Posted: 1/31/2021

Mark, we wanted to thank you and your family for your past stay with us. So happy to hear the condo was a perfect fit for your family and that you got to explore the pier and nearby establishments. You were fantastic guests and we look forward to you coming back and staying with us again!!

Anna Maria Vacations staff

My family loved the location, size and cleanliness of this lovely property. We walked the island and enjoyed exploring the beaches on both gulf Nd bayside. The very-close pier was beautiful day and night. The kitchen was fully equipped and all necessary convenience items were available. Plenty of outdoor seating and tables for all to enjoy while distancing safely from other residents. We really enjoyed using the grills and the heated pool since it was a little cool out. It was a great location to safely get away and unplug. The only negative was the beds and one bathroom door were creaky/squeaky and the bunk beds rocked a bit making sleeping difficult when two were sleeping in the bunkbeds. It would be great if that could be corrected. All in all, we had an amazing stay and loved Anna Maria Island as well as the location of this property!

Stephanie W. - Posted: 1/31/2021

Stephanie, thank you for your past stay with us! We strive to provide excellent care and service to our guests. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the pool, endless views, and sunsets as much as we do.

We loved our stay in this condo! It’s just beautiful! We loved how convenient it was located to great places to eat! Make sure you have breakfast out on the pier right down the road within walking distance! It was delicious! The restaurant right across the street is fantastic too! It’s a very beautiful place to visit! The gulf side is awesome too!

Nice place close to the beach, restaurants, and ice cream shops. Would have loved a washer and dryer in the unit but was not bad walking a few steps to the community laundry room. Pool area was nice.

Rachelle W. - Posted: 7/19/2020

Rachelle, thank you for your stay on the island. We loved being your tropical getaway and great to know you enjoyed the pool area. We look for to your return.

Anna Maria Vacations staff

We were very pleased with the way you arrive and can get right inside. The pool was beautiful. The inside living/dining area was bigger than pictures show. Beautiful inside especially loved the master bath. The walk across the street to the beach was great. Small beach with clear calm water. We were able to go out far into water with 6 year olds being able to touch. They found sanddollars and starfish. We enjoyed our stay.

Jennifer M. - Posted: 6/28/2020

Jennifer thank you for choosing your families getaway with us! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the beach and endless views as much as we do. We welcome you back anytime.

Anna Maria Vacations staff

We absolutely loved this property for our AMI vacation. The location was wonderful, plenty of space, and we enjoyed the pool area. Walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and bike rentals. We enjoyed walking to see the sunset each night. Communication with the property manager was difficult, as they failed to respond to my several emails leading up to the trip and did not send me check in information. I had to call them the day of check in because I still had not received information, nor a response to my email from the previous day. Overall, the property was great despite the lack of communication.

Karleigh K. - Posted: 3/12/2020

The property it's very well located with a beautiful view of the pier. A restaurant convenient located on the cross of the street, Ice cream store, in a quiet and beautiful in this time of the year. The property it's bigger than I though by the pictures. Very cozy, clean. There are tv's in every room with cable, Wifi, etc. We love it!!

Pam R. - Posted: 4/8/2019

Thank you for taking the time to review our home! Come back and see us!

Anna Maria Vacations staff

This property is perfect in every way! It was immaculate upon arrival. It is so well appointed and maintained and it is bright and airy. The livingroom picture does not reflect this but a window has been added on the mirror wall in the livingroom. We were concerned that we would miss having a sliding door or deck to the outside but that was not an issue. The boutiquey pool area was a nice substitute, also well appointed and maintained. The owners have done everything to provide the guest with a 5 star stay. It really was like being at a small boutique hotel. We found the location to be perfect as well. Right across the street is a quiet little spot on the bay to set up chairs and enjoy the view and calm waves. And it was less than a half mile to walk Spring Street to the beautiful gulf shores and the Sandbar Restaurant. We parked our car upon arrival and did not get back into the car until we departed the following Saturday. We walked and biked everywhere. Highlights of our trip: - Bike rentals for full week and 4 hour kayak excursion through Beach Bums. Another 5 star experience - excellent service. We kayaked with manatees, dolphin and beautiful birds in Bimini Bay area! - Dinners at Waterfront Restaurant - Breakfast, lunch and yummy smoothies and drinks at Ginny's and Jane E's - Shopping on Pine Street (runs parallel to Spring Street) - Fresh caught fish from Capt Anthony's (also on Spring Street) - grouper, snapper and rock crab. We grilled at pool area on cast iron pan we brought from home. Yummy dinner and leftovers for fish tacos the next night! - Tuesday Farmers Market at AMI Pier - one block from condo. Lots of fresh fruit and veggies! Fresh coconuts for purchase - opened and served on the spot - a fun treat! - AMI sunsets - And the list goes on! Thank you to Nikki and Once Upon A Beach. We are aready looking at our calendar to see when we might be able to get back to AMI to stay at one of your many beautiful properties!

Very clean, updated & organized apartment. Right across the street from the beach and a five start restaurant, plus little shops. Everyone was so nice and friendly, the place is very very quiet, the pool was very clean and nice. We would highly recommend!!

Jaime T., Doral, Florida - Posted: 5/31/2017

Thank you so much Jaime! We love the location of this unit as it is in the heart of everything you want to do in Anna Maria. The Waterfront Restaurant across the street is truly one of our favorites! So glad you loved our home! Please come back again soon! Nikki

Lisa B., New Smyrna Beach, Fl - Posted: 5/16/2017

Thank you so much for the compliments! The pool area is definitely something to be enjoyed and you are right you can't beat the location! Nikki

Anna Maria Vacations staff

We recently enjoyed a week at this newly remodeled spacious condo directly across from the beach. The unit had 3 bedrooms and more than enough living space for our family of 5 and 2 small dogs. Upon arrival we found the unit to be impeccably clean. Kitchen has all the utensils you will need. Bedding is very comfortable as is the furniture in the living room. The grounds are kept very nice. The pool and patio are excellent with plenty of patio furniture and 2 gas grills. We could not have asked for a better place to stay on AMI! The owners were both gracious and very responsive to any questions or requests. It was clear that they take great pride in their property and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Added benefits: this condo is directly across the street from our favorite AMI restaurant (Waterfront) as well as the AMI City pier. If you want to enjoy the gulf side of the island vs the bay side, it's a 2 min drive or less than 10 min walk to the other side. We can't wait to book out next visit to Blissful Bay on AMI.

Rafael M., Essex, CT - Posted: 5/12/2017
