Absolutely LOVED our stay and would love to stay again!! Clean, so much more spacious than the pictures made it seem, best location for food and the beach. Very responsive when we had questions.
We had a great time here for a week with the family. The house was very clean and the pool and hot tub was really great. It's one block to the beach and one block to Pine street where a lot of stores and restaurants. It's really an amazing location. The pool and hot tub were really great and the host was really responsive to any requests. Highly recommend this place.
This was our first time on AMI, and this beach house was perfect. Not only is it very nicely set up, but it is well appointed, clean, and a very short walk to the beach. A
This was our first trip to AMI and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our rental unit was in a perfect location, walkable to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Property MGMT was responsive to a minor issue and excellent to work with. Highly recommend!
My wife, kids, and I all absolutely loved this property! It had all of the amenities that we needed, it was incredibly close to the beach (less than a 3 min walk), and the pool was beautiful. All in all we could not have asked for more!!
Great location- close to beach and close to Pine St. For shopping and restaurants! We walked most everywhere. Heated pool and hot tub were nice for the cooler days. Very responsive property managers too. Stairs are only way in/out which was no issue for us, just good to be aware of if that’s an issue for anyone in your group. Overall a very nice rental!
Beautiful home with all amenities. The spa and pool were nice and relaxing. 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and 10 minutes to the city pier. Gorgeous area. Lots of local restaurants to try. AMI kept in touch at all times. We just wish we’d stayed longer and we will definitely be back again. Thank you for a nice quiet week.
Beautiful home in a great location. Smooth check in with great communication from management company throughout. Pictures are an accurate representation of the place. Very spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Heated in ground pool and spa were perfect with convenient outdoor bathroom and shower. Short walk to beach and place provided a wagon, cooler, 3 beach chairs, umbrella.Safety features of door alarms to pool were nice but we did have to rent a gate for an open stairway to the basement. Would strongly recommend and stay again!
My wife and I, along with our two toddlers, had an amazing time in this house. It was very clean and as described in the listing. Perfect location a block from the beach which made it so convenient with toddlers. The pool area was just a relaxing quiet setting. A few blocks walk to cute little shops and restaurants too. We really enjoyed our time and hope to go back.
The only two things I wish they had was possibly a pack ‘n play for younger ones to sleep in, and maybe a way to block or close off the step going down into the basement- I had to barricade the top of the steps with chairs.
Great property, the location is absolutely fabulous, close to beach and shops. Would stay here again and again. One suggestion, WiFi is not currently sufficient. It cut out quite a few times on us, and does not reach many parts of the property (downstairs, pool, deck, etc).
PERFECT place for a vacation on AMI! Ideal location, close to the gorgeous beach and downtown Pine Avenue. Our family of four had plenty of room to eat, sleep and relax in this immaculate home. Layout was fantastic! After soaking up the sun at the beautiful beach, we went for a dip in the refreshing pool right in the backyard. Kitchen stocked with every appliance you can imagine! Openness of kitchen was wonderful.. Beds very comfortable. Super fun basement with shuffleboard opened right to the backyard with pool, hot tub, outdoor bathroom and closet packed with every beach / pool item you need. Plenty of towels, sheets, and pillows. We are already planning to book again so we can make AMI a family tradition!
We had a great time staying at this property while on AMI. It had everything we needed for our stay and we enjoyed the short distance to the beach, the quiet area, being close to shops and restaurants and especially the pool and hot tub!
The house is in a great location, just a few blocks from the beach. Nice pool w/ hot tub that gets very hot. House itself could use some updates but it was ok overall.
House was better than pictures. Very roomy and cozy. Had everything we needed. Will definitely return. Bottom entertainment room was a major plus. Pool and Jacuzzi were great.
My family enjoyed every minute in this house! The pool and backyard was fabulous. The rec room for the kids (I should say adult Kids) provides a space to allow them to stay up late and not keep others awake.
The location to the beach is super close to walk. The property had a wagon which was PERFECT!
And we were so close to all the places we loved to eat!
I would rent this house again!
This house and property are exactly as pictured on VRBO.
The house was clean and the landscaping and pool were beautiful. We loved the beach decor! Our beach was gorgeous and we enjoyed the spectacular sunsets every night. We saw manatee in the clear blue/green waters and the kids found handfuls of sand dollars! The Anna Maria pier opened during our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
