AMI Beach Hut

Great little jam packed store full of food items, Beach supplies, snacks, drinks of every description, newspapers long after Publix has run out, great ice cream in generous portions and a very friendly helpful staff who greet you lake a long lost friend as you walk through the door.
On top of all that, reasonable prices.
On Gulf Drive, right across Magnolia from Ginny’s and Jane E’s. Do business with real people!

Great little spot to grab a drink, souvenirs or ice cream. The ice cream is phenomenal with ~20 flavors available!

Excellent experience. Staff was super friendly. Ice cream was unbelievable. Had Key Lime Pie (my favorite), blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel and triple peanut butter. Unlike most beach ice cream shops the portions were plentiful and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back

Did a quick stop here on Easter evening bc the kids wanted ice cream after walking on the pier. The gentleman serving the ice cream was very friendly. Sample-no problem! HUGE scoops. Ice Cream was homemade and delicious. We were not staying right in this area, but looked like a great store if you were to pick up something quick that you need. Drinks, eggs, beach wear, medicine, etc. I was so impressed of the great personality of the workers with a line out the door, on Easter, and 10 min til closing…happily serving his customers. I was surprised this was not listed anywhere as a hidden gem or best ice cream. And the review about wanting them to return a used beach blanket - come on. Thank you for not returning!!

The little store on AMI has just enough stuff for your last minute needs and reasonably priced. I ran out of half and half and was prepared for a larger spend but was shocked to find the price only $4.50 for a quart. Now the biggest surprise was the price of their local homemade ice cream! A family of 6 for ice cream was under $17!!! What?!? You read that right - so for $20 including tip 6 of us had a kiddie cone which was the size of a single anywhere else. Don’t miss this stop next time your on Anna Maria Island!

BEST ICE CREAM ON THE ISLAND!

This place is a hidden secret! Their ice cream is from Yoders. It’s Amish! It’s amazing. Insanely good. Nice assortment of beer and essentials. Plus they have a cute little dog named Larry.

They make it so easy to get what you need for the perfect beach day

We stopped by here for some ice cream, it is very delicious. The staff here are also very kind. We will come back for sure!

I promise you won’t be disappointed by this adorable little convenience store on Annamaria Island. Just make sure you say hello to Larry who is always looking for a good time when he’s not too busy being a therapy dog for all of us who can’t resist him. I love you Larry! 🫶🏼

Cute little convenience store with snacks, drinks, beach toys, etc, but they also had things like trash bags and paper plates. I even bought eggs here! Bonus points for free range, humanely raised chicken eggs!!

Delicious ice cream and very friendly staff! They also sell a few groceries and beach clothes. A very nice spot!

Stopped in and was greeted by the lovely Teresa! Never dropped a smile and had fantastic customer service. Really made my experience all the better! Will be stopping in again to say hello and grab a sandwich!

Great new addition to Gulf Drive. Nice selection of local craft brew beer with better prices than off island. Handy to have snacks, drinks, etc so close to Anna Maria’s gulf beach.

best ice cream i’ve ever had!!!! we went everyday. 12/10 reccomend

Best little beach hut in the whole wide world. The ice cream guy is cute and loves to tell jokes.

Best ice cream we had! Can't wait to come back!

Great little ice cream shop. Was well worth the trip.

Great friendly service, has needed essentials and great prices. Ice cream was excellent with toppings.

This place is great! Friendly staff and great prices. BEST ice cream on the island!

Found out about this on accident and so happy we did! The ice cream is fantastic with so many flavors!
