The story – my name is Allison Decker, I am the owner and operator of Concierge AMI. My husband and I also own and operate a local golf cart rental business on Anna Maria Island, AMI Rentals. The concierge business grew organically as our golf cart rental business grew we found ourselves answering the same questions over and over. We were asked for recommendations and favorites with nearly every booking, those questions and answers paved the way to start Concierge AMI. Our goal was to create a single place customers could book almost everything they need for a fantastic trip on Anna Maria Island. 

Our story starts as Texan’s who vacationed on Anna Maria Island. Falling in love we made the choice to move our family full time in 2021. We live in Bradenton just off the island as most locals with younger children do. It’s too hard during our high season to get back and forth to sports and schools with the traffic on the bridges. We have plans to one day reside on the island when life slows down. 

As we “vacationed” on the island for  nearly 8 months staying in 8 different vacation rentals we ate, drank, shopped and visited pretty much every local establishment on the Anna Maria Island. We fell in love with the lifestyle, the people, and the island.  We made friends with people who own and operate businesses here, it is through those relationships we have grown our concierge business so we can recommend to you the very best tour operators. We work with fishing charters, boat rentals, parasailing, chefs, airport transportation providers, and so much more. The providers we work with are people we know and trust to take care of you, the way we would want to be taken care of. In fact most of them had us as a tourist client before we lived here full time. All that to say we know what you will experience when you book with one of our preferred providers, we feel confident you will enjoy your experience. 

This blog has been currated to provide you with the most frequenly asked needs and recommendations from vistors to Anna Maria Island. We love to eat good food, shop, drink, and have a good time so our recommendations are based on our opinions alone. We hope you enjoy a few of the recommendations and this beautiful island as much as we do.
