Avalon - Steps from the beach!

Avalon by AMI Locals sounds like a wonderful place to soak up the island atmosphere, Leigh! Those beachy touches and beautiful views from multiple levels make for a special getaway. Our team truly appreciates your kind words about their quick responses and attentive service. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!

Being right across from the beach makes Avalon by AMI Locals such a convenient spot for an island getaway, Vanessa! We’re glad you enjoyed the beach gear, local recommendations, and the added convenience of the elevator. We also appreciate the note about the canopy. It has since been removed from the property as it was likely left behind by a previous guest. We’re glad the rest of your stay was a great one and hope to welcome you back to Avalon!

Those views are pretty hard to beat, Jennifer. Between the incredible scenery and the location, Avalon by AMI Locals makes it easy to settle into island time from the moment you arrive. Whether it was morning coffee with a view or sunset watching after a day at the beach, those are the moments that tend to stay with you long after vacation ends. Thanks for spending your time on AMI with us. We'd love to welcome you back for more ocean views and laid-back island days soon!

We’re so glad Avalon by AMI Locals was everything you expected and more, Amber. It’s wonderful to hear the bright, comfortable home, stunning balcony views, and less-than-a-minute walk to the sand made it such a memorable stay for your family. We’re especially happy our team was able to respond professionally and work to make things right when you experienced the AC issue. Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing Avalon. Knowing you plan to return is the best compliment, and we look forward to welcoming your family back to AMI!

Sounds like you found your perfect island home, Blanche! Being close to the beach, enjoying those beautiful water views, and having a pool, hot tub, and elevator all in one place makes for a pretty incredible getaway. We're also happy to hear the team was quick to help whenever needed so you could focus on relaxing and enjoying your vacation. Thank you for staying at Avalon by AMI Locals. We'd love to welcome you back for more beach days, sunset views, and island time soon!

That’s what island dreams are made of—thank you, Amy! We’re so glad Avalon by AMI Locals made your week with that “steps to the beach” lifestyle. Easy beach days, a well-stocked kitchen, and those cute coastal touches really set the tone. We’ll be ready to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for round two!

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us, Susan. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon!

Hi Stephanie, So glad to hear that you loved the home and the location. Thanks for being great guests! Thanks, Andrea

Hello, Anne! 👋 We're pleased you enjoyed the quiet setting and our management team was able to assist you quickly. We can't wait to host you again in the future! 😊

Thank you, David! Glad you enjoyed our cool house LOL!! Come back in July and you will feel differently... HOT weather, COOL house 😉

Hi Andy — Thank you for your review. I apologize that there were not hair dryers at the property when you arrived. However, I was able to provide 2 new hair dryers to you within 1 hour of your request, and I hope you felt that my efforts resolved this issue quickly and adequately. I agree that the construction work being done on the road and utilities below was inconvenient, however this was a project set by Manatee County, and we were not made aware of this in advance. Usually when repairs like this occur without notice, they are of an emergency type nature. The inconvenience from this required County project was out of our control, but I do apologize that it affected your stay. With that being said, I am glad you and your family enjoyed the quality of this home and Anna Maria Island in general. We would happily welcome you back for future stays! We hope that we’ll see you again.

Lori, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at Avalon! We're thrilled to hear that you loved your week there and found the property to be great with plenty of room for your group. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the cozy and private pool area, as well as the breathtaking view from the rooftop deck. Having easy access to a beautiful, uncrowded beach right in front of the house sounds like a dream come true! We're also delighted that you found the location convenient and appreciated our commitment to customer satisfaction. We can't wait to welcome you back for another amazing stay at Avalon!

Sunny, thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the house was a perfect fit for your two families and that the elevator was a helpful amenity, especially with multiple floors. We apologize for the issues with the pool temperature but are glad to hear that the property management was responsive and able to assist you promptly. It's wonderful that the house was well-equipped with pool and beach toys, chairs, and other essentials, making your stay with young children more convenient. We're delighted that you found the location perfect and that you enjoyed every moment of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back next year for another fantastic spring break!

Hi Diana — Thanks for the great review! I’m so glad you and your family loved Avalon and it’s location and amenities. We do our best to make sure our guests are completely setup and comfortable in the home - your only job is to enjoy your vacation! :) We would love to host you again so let me know when you’re ready to come to AMI! -Ashley

Hi Karen & Rodney - Thank you for your review! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed the Avalon home and all of its great amenities! I also agree that the location is very convenient - steps from the beach, and close to it all. I'm very sorry and surprised to hear that you considered cancelling your reservation. I know we spoke a few times prior to your stay in which you asked about the red tide conditions. I hope you felt my detailed updates, links to national weather and Mote Marine websites to track the red tide status, and our daily live beach videos on our social media page were helpful. Had I known you were still concerned about the red tide after providing that information, I could have moved your dates to another week in the year since you purchased travel insurance. We want our guests to feel comfortable, relaxed, and have a wonderful vacation on Anna Maria Island! We hope to have the opportunity to host you again. -Ashley
