Great experience! You don’t have much privacy as it’s right on the main drag and there is construction going on next to it but other than that it’s a great place to stay! Great amenities. Clean. Easy walk right to the beach and to a great area of AMI.

Thank you for staying with us at Bay Happy by AMI Locals, Megan. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home's amenities, cleanliness, and easy access to the beach and all the fun spots around AMI. Being able to walk to so much of what makes the island special is always a big plus. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the privacy and nearby construction. While construction activity is unfortunately outside of our control and can vary throughout the island, we're glad it didn't take away from your overall experience. Thanks again for the kind words, and we'd love to welcome you back for another laid-back island getaway soon!

It was a beautiful home with a spectacular view!!!! We truly enjoyed our stay - the location was perfect! Peaceful and quiet - Right across the street from Bayfront beach and within convenient walking distance to Bean Point which was by far the most beautiful beach on AMI - in our opinion.
The beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced at an Airbnb to date - the home was spacious and extremely well stocked with utensils/pots/pans for all of our cooking needs. The swimming pool was clean and there were ample supplies for a fun day at the beach!
We would definitely love to stay here again in the future! We enjoyed every moment of our stay here.

Bay Happy by AMI Locals sounds like it was the perfect island escape, Jennie! Between the peaceful setting, beautiful views, and being right by Bayfront Beach and Bean Point, it really gives you some of the best parts of AMI all in one spot. And we have to agree—Bean Point is pretty special! Love hearing the home felt spacious, comfortable, and fully stocked for relaxing meals and beach days. And when guests mention the beds are the most comfortable, they’ve had at an Airbnb, that’s always a huge compliment. Sounds like your trip was filled with all the little moments that make an island vacation memorable. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Great location. Easy walk to the beach. Beautiful view from the front balcony to the ocean. Was able to watch the sun rise right from bed!

Bay Happy by AMI Locals really knows how to deliver those peaceful island mornings, Amanda! Easy beach walks, ocean views from the balcony, and catching the sunrise without even getting out of bed… that’s the kind of vacation people dream about. Glad you had such a great stay, and we’d love to have you back for more sunrise views and beach days soon!

We absolutely loved our accommodations at Bay Happy!! We were 5 women enjoying a ladies weekend and felt right at home. Everything was perfect upon our arrival, and the views were amazing. We were literally steps away from the Bay side beach area and only a 10 min walk to the Gulf side - you could put your beach chairs close to The Sandbar restaurant where we enjoyed a celebratory cocktail. We also used the beautiful pool area every day which had ample seating and a nice covered area. We cooked most days and had plenty of space in the kitchen along with a good selection of kitchen equipment and appliances. We brought pool towels and games, but upon arrival we saw the house provided plenty of pool towels and had a good selection of games. All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend. Looking forward to our next visit!!

That sounds like the perfect girl's weekend, Mary! Bay Happy by AMI Locals really sets the scene—steps to the bay, an easy stroll to the Gulf, and those Sandbar cocktails to top it off. Love that you all got to enjoy the pool every day too—plenty of space to relax, hang out, and just enjoy the sunshine. And having a well-stocked kitchen always makes those nights in feel just as good as going out. Sounds like you made the most of every minute. We’ll be here when you’re ready for the next ladies trip!

The property is gorgeous and clean. Anytime we needed something the host was very responsive. The pool alarm took a minute to grasp and we set it off a couple times. Any minor issues and maintenance was out within 30 mins to assist/fix. The washer dryer seemed brand new. Along w all appliances. Easy to use. The couch was comfortable and someone could def sleep on it There is a beach across the street, nice for early morning walks. The sand on this beach contains shells and rocks. Not ideal for little kiddos if with the family, but the pool at house was excellent. There is a shallow pool area in the left end. There is sun and shaded areas. There is beach equipment and a cooler on site. There are a handful of other beaches to go to for day in close proximity! Restaurants are close. Ubers are easy to obtain. There is a trolly that also runs through the island. The only negative we had was no back up toilet paper. I know house is only stocked w starter things, but i recommend grabbing a couple when grocery shopping!

Sounds like you really settled into island life, Joanna! So glad you enjoyed your time at Bay Happy by AMI Locals—clean, comfortable, and with everything feeling fresh and easy to use makes a big difference. And having the beach right across the street for those quiet morning walks? That’s a great way to start the day. Love that you made the most of both the pool and exploring nearby beaches too. That mix of options is what makes staying on Anna Maria Island so fun. Appreciate you mentioning the pool alarm as it can take a minute to get used to, but it’s there for safety. And thanks for the note on supplies as well—good tip for future guests to grab a few extras for longer stays. Really glad you had a great trip. Come back and enjoy it all again anytime!
