Beautiful home in AMI

My family & I had the best trip thanks to this beautiful spacious home. Loved the kitchen & the rooms 😊 I thought we were getting the entire house but we just had the top floor (which was still plenty of room)

Peaceful Retreat

Bliss and Tonic {up} was a wonderful retreat for our family to reconnect and make memories while on AMI. Cooking dinner in the kitchen, keeping laundry caught up, and relaxing on the porch were such nice little blissful moments in this wonderful beach home. Thank you for sharing your space with us as we soaked up the sun while being beach bums.

Highly Recommend!

Bliss and Tonic was fantastic! From the spacious interior to the stunning patio views this gem was the perfect way to spend some time on Anna Maria Island. The owners were so thoughtful in creating such a turn key vacation rental. We really appreciated the use of beach equipment that the owners provided with this rental. We would absolutely recommend Bliss and Tonic to anyone looking for a relaxing island getaway!

Which is great when you’re cooking for a big family. We were able to watch the sunrise every morning from the deck overlooking the bay view. It was a short walk to the beach. They had everything we needed for a day at the beach. It’s a great location, close to the beach, grocery store, and Bridge Street. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Bliss & Tonic Up. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The beds are super comfortable for a great nights rest. The walk distance to the beach was great. It was 2 blocks just as they said. We used their chairs and wagon to take our belongings to the beach. I would suggest to bring your own umbrella for shade. For the most part the house is very well stocked with your needs. We are already looking to book our next stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.
