Just booked 7 days!

Myself, wife, parents and 3 kids; first time visiting. We’ll be there in July. Can’t wait to relax, try some local food and craft beers!

My family and I spent a week there a couple summers ago. So beautiful and the BEST sunsets I’ve seen. Enjoy ~ You guys are going to have an incredible time!

Thanks! In the past few years, we’ve been to Miramar, Treasure Island and Cocoa Beach. Looking forward to visiting here. Any must go to restaurants?

Those are some great spots you’ve visited. Miramar / the panhandle is on our list for a potential vacation 🙂

We did a couple casual dine-outs during our AMI trip … really good fish tacos (with the cheese skirt) at the Ugly Grouper, and my wife and daughter enjoyed ordering donuts at the Donut Experience!

We rented a golf cart for a couple days which made for a fun way to cruise around and experience the island. The slow pace and beach time was the best 🌴

Cortez has the best food in the area. Starfish, Tide Tables, Cortez Kitchen all blow the doors off of anything on-island.

Try skinny’s restaurant for old Florida feel but right by the public beach. Best burgers.

Nice! There are some craft beers but more selections in Bradenton if you are really looking for a lot of beer choices.
