Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to:

7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels)
10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels)

The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

Pleasantly surprised

This house exceeded y expectations. The location was perfect, the house was better than we expected. The elevator was great for our bags. The pool was perfect and the house was located right next to the beach access. We hope to be able to stay here again!

Paradise Get Away

The house was larger inside than the pictures show, plenty of room for 6 adults to have their own spaces. The pool was the perfect size for a cooling dip. We loved the ocean view from the top floor and rooftop balcony. Just a walk across the street for beach access, you couldn't ask for a better location. We had one small problem and the property management company had a mechanic there within an hour. Will definitely return to A Mermaid's Tale!!

Lovely Bean Point rental!

The house is updated and in a great location (although just know the road gets busy and there isn’t a lot of privacy when outside). The property management company is one of the best we have encountered - communicative and responsive! This house is great for a small family. They have done an excellent job with the space they have! A short walk to the beach and great access to Bean Point. Just be aware that the pool is very small, and the property is tight and very close to the houses around it. However, it was a great stay and we think the owners have done an amazing job with the space they have!

Lovely home close to beach access

This beautiful home is just across the street from beach access and close to everything you may need on Pine Street. It provided plenty of space for our family of 4 (with room to spare). We enjoyed both the pool and ocean view from the patios. The management company was wonderful to work with, and very quickly responded to an issue we had with the AC. I do have 2 suggestions for this almost perfect rental- 1. Additional pillows for the beds. 2. New beach chairs-they were all broken and although it’s disclosed that there may or not be beach chairs at the rental, I don’t feel like it’s appropriate advice for the management company to recommend renters to purchase their own chairs at CVS. I do understand how frustrating it must be to have renters break or even steal them, but that’s kind of a deal breaker. we are all visiting AMI for the beautiful beaches after all.

Magical vacation

The house was in a perfect spot of the island. Extremely close to beach access and easy to walk or ride bikes to dining and shopping. The house was very stylish, clean, updated and well equipped. The Smart TV made it easy to login to our Netflix, Prime, and Disney+ accounts. We needed a break and this gave us one.
