The Sea Zoo was such a pleasant experience from arrival to departure. The home was clean and decorated beautifully. My family and I had such a great time and I am already looking forward to staying with you all again.

We had issues with our first rental with A.M.I. and they went above and beyond to make it right and replaced our original rental with the sea zoo. It was just as described comparable to what we originally booked. We would definitely stay here again. The response time from the team was always fast and helpful, even after hours. Can’t say enough good things about our experience.

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feedback, Bianca! We’re so glad our Anna Maria Island Accommodations team could quickly turn things around and get you into Sea Zoo for a great stay. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back!

We walked the town and the beach, but we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Someone was either in it beside it reading in it soaking in it or laying beside it!Everyone said best pool, liked the town but loved the pool

Beach weekend
Gorgeous house and backyard. It has beautiful views of the bay and the house itself was very clean. The room situation wasn’t ideal as we had mostly couples staying here…there’s a random bed day in the hallway and I think they stretch the idea of how many people can actually stay there. We brought an air mattress just in case and I’m glad we did but other than that’s everything was great. We definitely would come back!

Davis Family Vacation
We absolutely loved the Sea Zoo so big and spacious ! The view was breathtaking! Sunrise over the bay and sunset at the beach! We loved the walking distance to the beach and shops. The pool and hot tub were refreshing. The only negative was that the elevator was not working but we all agreed we didn’t mind getting in the extra steps. all agreed we didn’t

Perfect for a family vacation...
The Sea Zoo was perfect for our family vacation. The property is in a great location - a quick walk to the beach and local restaurants. It's well equipped with a pool, Tiki bar, games, kitchen essentials and sea animal themed decor. All planning and communication went smoothly. Would highly recommend.

Hip Beach House
This is a true beach house on the water with its own dock and a big swimming pool in the yard. The beach is less than a 3 minute walk but the pool was so great we made over to the beach once! There is an elevator and it s awesome for taking food and drinks down to the pool level. It was a cool place well decorated very comfortable and some great views. We had a great time. I recommend this place to adults and families.

This house was in a great location and had a nice pool and interior. The property manager was very responsive which was great. However, we couldn’t figure out how to open the door at first but we got help right away.

Our stay was perfect. Easily walked to the beach or to local restaurants/bars within 5 min. The place was squeaky clean and had a great outdoor area/pool for days when the weather did not cooperate for a beach day. The place was easy to find, looked just like the photos, and had a beautiful view of the sound and sunrise every morning.

Wonderful vacation spot!
This house was perfect for us because we were able to boat and go to the beach and the location is this house made it so easy! There is a dock to tie up to and the beach is a block away. There are tons of restaurants and shops to walk/ bike to. The outdoor area was perfect for traveling with teenagers. We can’t wait to go back! Tips: they don’t stock much for kitchen so you will need salt, pepper, sugar and cooking oil/ spray. Also it’s a coffee pot so we took our keurig. It could use some updated bedding (we took our pillows and were very happy we did) but the layout of the house was nice with beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful home and family vacation.
The Sea Zoo was amazing. Such an awesome location between the two bodies of water. One day we walked to the beach, another day we rented a boat and docked at pier. Everyday you found us on the pool several times. Night time shops and restaurants near by. Hot tub at night. The landscape on this property is well maintained, loved the tiki bar by the pool. We will stay there again.

The Sea Zoo was just perfect for 6 adults and 2 kids. With the 3.5 bathrooms it made it nice for each of the couples/family. The kitchen was well supplied with plenty of plates, silverware, pots/pans, appliances, bowls, pitchers etc. Nice surprise. The weather did not coorporate for our visit but the outdoor area is wonderful. There is a little fireplace and we enjoyed making smores. Great location walking distance to several resturants. Overall it was a great trip in a beautiful home that has many extras.

We have mini-vacations often to Bradenton Beach and this has been our favorite place to stay. I cannot say enough about this home. We can't wait to come back and stay again. Plus, the folks at AMI Locals are incredibly responsive, always!!!

The Sea Zoo was absolutely fabulous! We loved the location and the pool and backyard were awesome. Plenty of space for our party of 6 and literally everything you need to have a great time in the backyard or across the street on the beach. Breakfast on the front deck, great views and fun games. The elevator was a nice plus moving luggage and when my folks visited overnight. Great times!
