Wonderful getaway. Quaint yet well appointed. Clean and bright. Amazing common areas inside and balconies for gathering, soaking in the panoramic views, or relishing in the tranquility. Owners Maria and her husband are welcoming and dedicated to making your stay just as you would expect. I wasn’t very good at navigating the booking site so I just called the hotel directly. I got Maria! She reassured me that this was a perfect place for my sister and I to spend the weekend. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and the white sandy beach was a mere 3 minute walk… but we didn’t have to walk because a courtesy city golf shuttle picked us up! We walked to dinner and slept in… just because we could! Highly recommend this beautiful boutique inn and Bradenton Beach!

Rooms are small to have a kind size bed, same size as bathroom which is great for a bathroom. Portable AC blow in your face unless you turn to ground. Hear people in next room and in driveway from Aquamarine room.

We had a great experience here! The place was incredibly clean and exactly as advertised. Nice touches including champagne as a welcome. Rooftop seating area stunning. Lovely pool and hot tub, and rooms and common areas very clean and modern. Location is perfect - less than 5 min walk to the beach and Bridge street with lots of restaurant options. Hosts very easy to communicate with. 6 small parking spots available. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our first trip to AMI. The Boutique Inn was perfect for my husband and I! Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The shared space (living area, kitchen, decks, and pool area) was also clean, well taken care of, and met our needs. We rarely ran into other guests. The location of the inn was perfect...easy walk to shops, restaurants, bars, beach, and trolley. Highly recommend!

Loved the complimentary champagne! Great location! Just a short 3 blocks from the beach and the beach house restaurant. Right by all the action on bridge street. Beautiful boutique hotel. We had the Pearl suite with balcony. Beds were comfy, room was clean and nice. We really enjoyed hanging out on the rooftop and taking in the views. Easy to communicate via text with anything we needed. The owner was very helpful.

100% great place to stay! Hands down! Absolutely lovely Boutique Inn! You walk in the door and the scent just puts you in another realm and makes you wanna toss up your hands and get ready to relax!! Super clean and I really like clean! Multiple great balconies (sunrise, sunset) and indoor seating areas. Awesome Roof top deck! Kitchen/great room area was a perfect space. Nice pool area with hot tub- didn't get a chance to use- but looks like fun! Other guests were super friendly and interesting, nice clientele, but not in your face. Everyone made us feel comfortable! The best part of all is the location. Between the beach and bay- easy walk everywhere. So close to Bridge st restaurants and shopping. We are Not boaters, but the marina seemed to be footsteps away & looked fun & very busy. The Beach House (restaurant/bar) was super close and convenient to where we spent time at the beach- great place for afternoon drinks and snacks!. Playa Esmeralda was a nice chill nice place to stay. Maria & Mark responded promptly to all our ?s! If you are going to Bradenton, def consider this boutique hotel!!! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful Place - Great Location - Awesome Hosts! 3 day 2 night escape for my wife and me...loved it so much we extended for another night. Great concept. We had all of the benefits of renting a large luxury beach house - at the cost of a premium hotel room. Hosts: Maria and Mark - great people - very accommodating - quick to respond to all of our needs and questions. Staff: Hardly saw them - when we did - they were friendly and helpful - by the appearance and cleanliness we knew they were there and keeping the place clean. Room/Suite: Blue Diamond Suite - Beautiful - 3rd floor - located by the common kitchen and gaming area - even though it was by the common area - we never heard a sound from any of the other guests - my opinion - it is the BEST suite in the place. Minor suggestions - although we didn't spend a lot of time in the room - seating was limited for morning coffee or lounging prior to bed or your next trip out - suggest hooks or racks for wet towels. MINOR issues. Pool Area: Felt private and exclusive. Great seating and a very comfortable hammock for napping. 3rd floor Common Area: AWESOME - Full kitchen - living room - balconies - and roof top balcony - with four (4) other rooms on the 2nd level (all occupied) we seldom saw or interacted with the other guests. Although we like meeting people - it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Location: Everything you need is within a 5-minute walk; Shops, restaurants, beach - and we enjoyed the walking. (Traffic in the area is BUSY). Once there - Park your vehicle and forget about it. Future booking?: Without question - Absolutely Loved It! Immediately recommended to all of our friends.

I had a wonderful stay for one night. This is a unique hotel with amazing touches throughout. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The owners are fantastic and super friendly and helpful. I loved the rooftop and all the shared common areas. Wish I could have stayed longer ! Highly recommended!!

We booked this place last minute for a little birthday staycation & we’re so glad we did. Maria was incredibly helpful & welcoming. The home was quiet & clean, with beautiful nautical decor & so many cute touches. We especially loved the champagne in our room upon arrival & the coffee/snack area in the kitchen. We were able to walk to many dining options & rode our bikes all over the island. The hot tub was a nice touch for cooler nights & we really enjoyed meeting Mark (one of the owners) on our way out. Our only regret is not staying longer, but we hope to come back!

Location is absolutely perfect. Right across from the beach, very short walk to all that Bridge Street has, free trolley pick up/ drop off locations within steps of door. We've stayed here twice this year. There has been an issue each time with plumbing. In April there was a back up and it created a sewage smell until fixed. This October trip the toilet needed to be fixed right away and the shower drain backed up on our last day. Owners are quick to respond and fix but it soured our experience some. We will be back to AMI as soon as we can but will explore other options to stay.

Beautiful place to stay. Extremely close to beach and many restaurants as well as the free shuttle to take you further north into Anna Maria.

Maria was an amazing host! She messaged us checking on us and it was during a holiday. She went above and beyond with recommendations and everything being stocked. The house is the perfect getaway. We needed some tome together to relax and the house was quiet and relaxing. From the hot tub to breakfast on the roof to the perfect and pillows all was perfect!!! Totally recommend!!!! I only have videos or would post pictures!!!

From the moment I walked in I loved this place. It felt so calm and peaceful and was so cleaned and smelled so fresh! I loved the colors and decor of the place. I loved the layout and the room felt spacious and well appointed. I loved having such a large closet to put all our things. We would have loved to use the outdoor rooftop lounge area but it rained too much during our stay. We were able to go up once at night and it was a beautiful city view but we didn't stay long as it was too cold. We loved having use of the hot tub (and the tv above it) but you need to know to turn it on about 45 minutes before you actually want to use it so it can heat up. We liked having use of the kitchen just know the kitchen isn't for actually cooking though but use of the microwave and fridge/freezer and sink. It suited our needs though and we enjoyed a couple bakery items they leave out for guests. The windows on the kitchen floor gave such a open wonderful view as well, it's just so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed playing a game or two on the arcade and playing a game of pool as well. Maria was quick to respond and very helpful when we had an issue we needed resolving. We walked to dinner one night but didn't walk much any other times because of the rain but the place is in a nice location for walking to the beach or restaurants and some shopping. I would add photos but honestly the place looks exactly like the photos show on their website. I highly recommend staying here. I think it is a place of tranquility!

Playa Esmeralda Inn is a great hidden gem conveniently located just across the white sand beach and beautiful sunsets! Our host Maria made it so easy to check-in and shared extremely helpful information, making the experience that much more pleasant! I will indeed return to Anna Maria and stay at the Playa Esmeralda next year!

We stayed in the Pearl Room and it was so nice, very clean!! The 3rd Floor was like an apartment and was decorated beautifully, the view was really nice too!! The pool was really nice and the outside area was very relaxing! Perfect location to beach and restaurants!!

Very clean accommodation with good space for 2 people. It takes less than 2 minutes to get to the beach. All bars and restaurants are within walking distance. Right on the other side of the street there is a entry point for the trolley with which you can travel around the island for free. It was a very pleasant stay for us and we would like to come back soon.
