Welcome to the Manatee Suite of AMI Beach Lagoon on Anna Maria Island!

Our lakefront property is situated at 604 North Shore Drive, the prime location in Anna Maria, close to Bean Point. The most beautiful part of the white sandy beach is only a few steps away across the street.

Go fishing, observe Manatees or use one of our kayaks for a trip from the private dock on Vista Lake right behind the house. Spend precious time with your family while enjoying a barbeque or lounging in one of several outdoor seating areas.

Although each unit has its own private terrace/patio/pergola with private outdoor furniture and grills, there are plenty common areas like pool deck, giant chess board, putting green that can be used by all guests.

After a sunny day at the beach our private outdoor showers are a welcome possibility to cool off.
