About this resort
Welcome to the Manatee Suite at AMI Beach Lagoon Resort, your lakefront luxury retreat on Anna Maria Island.
Located at 604 North Shore Drive in the highly desirable north end of Anna Maria near Bean Point, this 12,500 sq ft property uniquely combines Gulf beach access with private lakefront living on Vista Lake. The Gulf beach is just a short walk across North Shore Drive.
The resort consists of three separate ground-level suites that may be rented together or individually:
- The Turtle Suite – 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom (Sleeps 2)
- The Manatee Suite – 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (Sleeps 6)
- The Pelican Suite – 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (Sleeps 6)
The Turtle Suite (front house facing North Shore Drive) offers one bedroom, while the Manatee and Pelican Suites (rear house facing Vista Lake) each offer three bedrooms. Each suite has its own private entrance, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor seating area, and grill. When multiple suites are rented separately, the pool deck and certain outdoor amenities are shared.
At the heart of the property is the large, Mickey Mouse-shaped heated saltwater pool with attached spa, creating a true resort-style atmosphere.
Pool and spa cannot be heated simultaneously, and heating performance is weather dependent and subject to environmental and technical limitations.
The spa is available daily between 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM only. The system can operate either the pool or the spa, but not both at the same time; extended spa use stops pool circulation and heating and negatively affects water quality. Operation outside these hours is not possible.
Due to local noise ordinances, pool and spa equipment shuts off overnight. Pool and spa are provided as amenities for guest enjoyment and do not constitute grounds for refund or compensation in the event of limited operation or downtime.
The private dock on Vista Lake invites guests to fish, observe manatees, or explore the water using the provided kayaks. Additional outdoor amenities include a putting green, giant life-size chess board, multiple covered seating areas, grills, beach carts, and beach chairs.
All suites are ground-level with wide doors and low-threshold showers, providing comfortable accessibility for guests of all ages. Each unit includes high-speed WiFi, dishwasher, and full-sized washer and dryer.
Florida’s climate can bring high temperatures and humidity, especially during summer months. The air conditioning systems are professionally maintained and operate within regulated performance ranges to ensure reliable and consistent indoor comfort throughout your stay.
You are vacationing in a residential neighborhood. Please be a good neighbor by keeping noise at a respectful level, particularly around the pool and outdoor areas. Excessive or unreasonable noise is prohibited by local ordinances.
Due to documented health considerations within the Owner’s family, pets — including service or emotional support animals — are not permitted on this private property under any circumstances. This includes visitors of Guests. Any animal found on the premises will result in expedited eviction, forfeiture of payments, and liability for specialized cleaning and any resulting damages.
Exterior video surveillance with motion-activated recording is installed in the driveway, pool equipment zones, pool deck, kayak rack and lakefront areas. No cameras are installed inside any building.
The property was completely renovated in 2021. Environmentally friendly solar roofs were added in 2022. Following the 2024 storm season, exterior landscaping and select technical components were renewed and upgraded. Due to extensive preventive measures installed in advance, no interior water intrusion occurred.
We encourage guests to consider purchasing travel insurance to protect their stay against unforeseen circumstances.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We loved our stay at the Manatee 3BR suite! It’s a shared single story rental with 2 other separate attached suites but each has its own private entrance. The shared areas were never really crowded with other “neighbors”, just a passing “good morning or hello”. The back private porch was quiet and relaxing with a great view and string lights. There is no kitchen cabinet space to store dried goods but there is a small pantry closet next to the bedroom that can be used. We did use the link sent to us at check in email to rent beach chairs/umbrellas and that was dropped off prior to our arrival and left at our front door, super convenient. The house location is perfect, a block walk to the beautiful beach, also not as crowded at that entrance compared to other accesses. It’s a short 10min walk to the shopping strip on Pine Ave, which had plenty of cute beach shops. Spring break was busy so the wait for coffee at North Shore Cafe was about an hour at peak morning times. The Donut Experiment was a hit with the kids, order online so you don’t wait in the line. The Waterfront restaurant had the best grouper tacos and the AMI beach hut had the best ice cream and has a connected small convenience store to get essentials and beer. We would definitely stay again if we visit AMI!

This place is super cute and super family friendly fun. The 1 block beach walk is perfect. There wasn’t a complaint about this stay at all.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
This property was exactly what we expected, great location, plenty of room for all 6 of us. Fantastic outdoor spaces between the pool, lagoon, deck, patio and beach within walking distance. The only negative was we couldn't check in until exactly 4pm and we arrived at 3pm. Would defintely recommend and stay here again.
