Overall our stay was fantastic! The house was clean, had all the things you’d need (towels, soap, kitchen amenities, etc.). We LOVED the pool, it was clean and well kept and someone came and cleaned it one of the days. We also loved the location, walkable to the beach and great spots to eat and shop. The only issues we had were very small but worth mentioning…first, this is listed on Airbnb as a 3 bedroom but it’s actually 4. Second, one of the showers didn’t work. We reached out to the management company but no one ever came. We weren’t too bothered by it because we weren’t at capacity but I’d be annoyed if our group was planning to utilize all three showers. Lastly, when we were supposed to check in, they didn’t send me the check-in code, I had to call them for it. They then said it’s because the cleaning crew wasn’t done yet. They had to finish cleaning the couch cushions, and really wasn’t a big deal, just worth calling out when considering ease of communication and check-in.

Can’t say enough about this wonderful property. Spacious, clean, well-stocked in the most perfect central location. It deserves 10 stars! Communication was also great from booking to checkout.

This was our second time staying with AMI Locals, they surely are the best hosts in Anna Maria. The house location was exceptional, close to all restaurants, coffee shops, pier and best beach spots. Could not have asked for a better stay, the house was very clean, had everything we needed, very spacious, open floor plan, great layout and design, an amazing pool and a deck by the river for relaxing and fishing. Will definitely come back in the near future, best house I have ever stayed at in Anna Maria by far! 10/10

North End Zen was amazing! This place is beautiful, the pool is great and the deck in the back is just the cherry on top! This place makes sure you enjoy your stay at AMI, perfectly located and walking distance to top destinations in the island. Also, it is EXTREMELY clean!

One of the best trips and places we've ever stayed!! The rental company is AMAZING, they are sweet, reliable, helpful and so so accommodating! The location of the house was PERFECT! We were on a quiet side street and it was about a 5 minute walk to the beach and about a 7 minute walk to the pier!! The pool was heated, they had floaties and fun stuff for the kids, plenty of beach toys, beach chairs, a beach wagon, etc to use! The house itself was a PERFECT SET UP! the big island in the kitchen overlooking the water, we loved how open and spacious it all was! JUST LOVED IT! I could go on and on!! Just book it :) You'll love it too!

This home was very nice with plenty of space for our family of 7. Walking distance to main road shops, pier and beach. Having the pool was a big hit with the kids. I would highly recommend this home and would return if we come back to the island for another stay.

Cheryl M. - Posted: 6/2/2021

The house is all you expect plus plus plus...clean, convenient, great layout and walk distance to everything you need

Really enjoyed our week at North End Zen on AMI. Our family of 5 had more than enough room to spread out and then some in this property. Two families could fit easily. The house had what we needed, very clean and a nice touch of modern with comfort. The dock was a bonus, and the pool area was great. We had a boat tied up in back and rented a kayak. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes down Coconut. Very little noise on the north end. Beach in that area is mostly renters and was not crowded. Easy walk to shops and donut experiment on Pine Ave. Check out the North Shore Cafe. Good stuff. See you next summer AMI.

Great location - nice home.

This property is very conveniently located to both shores (Gulf and Bay) Gulf is in walking distance, and bay side is a short drive. Restaurant and shops are close. My children 17 and 14 greatly enjoyed the pool and dock. The home is spacious and very relaxing. Previous posts concerned me about the ability to cool (air conditioning concerns) the home but we had ZERO problems with this. Over all great vacation! This was our first time staying on Anna Marie Island, it was a little crowded feeling for us, but did have a close nit beachy feel. We felt safe and welcomed by everyone on the island. Traffic in and out of the island can be long! I would recommend going, no experiences were terrible or greatly unpleasant. Beautiful vacation!

We really enjoyed this rental. Clean and modern with a wow factor. The location was perfect really quiet and peaceful and just a stones throw from everything. We will be back thanks!

We had a family holiday at North end Zen and we were so impressed with the size and facilities great location 5 minutes walk to beach and local shops very close to all attractions. Would recommend for a great relaxing beach holiday

Haley R. - Posted: 11/12/2018

We spent two great weeks at "North End Zen". The location is unbeatable, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, so even our children didn´t mind walking. You´re one minute away from Pine Street with loads of nice Shops like the Donut Experiment and J Burns Pizza, but there´s no traffic as it´s a dead end. The rental has a beautiful open layout, you step out of the kitchen right to the pool area. There´s sunshine as well as shady spots in the garden depending on what you prefer. Our Boys loved the little dock and spent hours fishing (for the first time in their lives). We had to catch our daughter to get her out of the pool at night... . We rented kayaks and loved to paddel along the waterways and even out to the bay for a swim. The Aircondition works a little inconsistent, the bedrooms too far away (northern side) didn´t really cool down but still allowed a good sleep. The views out of the kitchen area are stunning. You feel like you´re right in the mangroves. Anna Maria Island Accommodations (AnnaMariaParadise) did a great Job, everthing was clean and taken care of. They were very friendly, something we hadn´t experienced a year ago with a rental company further south on the Island. We´ll definitely come back.

Loved it!!!!! Stayed at this location twice.

Great location, beautiful home with everything you need.

Belinda M. - Posted: 6/25/2018

We absolutely loved the house. We were 7 people and we had lots of room. The kitchen is very well equipped and the interior of the house is beautiful. We all loved the pool and the little garden (with lots of geckos). Anna Maria is beautiful with amazing beaches. We would definitely come back.

Anne M. - Posted: 11/13/2017

The house is beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, the pool is great, the location is awesome. You can walk to a lot of different places for food and coffee, get pizzas right at the end of the street. The house is very comfortable, if you're traveling with a group that needs privacy, like two separate families or people that don't all live in the same household together, all four of the bedrooms are separated on the corners of the house, so a lot of privacy, everything was very comfortable, we loved it!

Susan C., Woodstock, GA - Posted: 9/17/2017

We loved the property! The scenic views were spectacular and the pool was awesome. The house had everything we needed and more!

Michele S. - Posted: 4/23/2017

We had 2 families staying for the week. The house was gorgeous! It was so well-equipped that we didn't need anything else. We cooked most dinners at the house and had plenty of room in the dining room for all 7 of us to eat together. The walk to the beach was a little long for my special needs niece. But a quick jump in the car and we were there! We drove to a different beach every day, but decided the one closest to the house was the best! My usually poker-faced nephew (18 years old), was even sad to leave! Can't wait to come back! The sooner the better!

Barb K. - Posted: 8/16/2016

The pictures do not begin to do this home justice! It is absolutely gorgeous and perfect. From the stunning pool area, to the view from the kitchen windows out into the bay, the comfortable and beautiful furnishings, the 2 block stroll to the beach and the ability to walk or bike anywhere on the north end of the island. We gathered the female members of our family here for a pre-wedding celebration and had the time of our lives! It was the perfect vacation spot and a vacation dream come true! We will be back as soon as we can!

The house is absolutely lovely - beautifully finished with a stunning kitchen area overlooking the canal and pool. It is very well equipped and the location is perfect - walking distance to both beach and shops. We loved our stay and hope to book for next year.
