The property management was absolutely amazing. We had a few issues and they were on it. Not only did they take care of the issues in a timely manner but they also did follow up calls to make sure we were satisfied with the results. We will definitely rent this home again.
The house was nice, clean, good location but many inconveniences. AC not working properly, fridge not working, had a replacement for two days and had to go downstairs every time we needed to grab things out of it. The deck alarm sensor fell down in the middle of the night and didn’t stopped making noise at 3:00 am. The pool heater didn’t work correctly… paid a lot of money for si much hassle we went through
the good: looks nice, the view is great, the people at AMI who dealt with our many problems were polite and they tried to be effective. the bad: it started at the front door, the coded lock didn't work and could not be fixed all week. it wasn't the end of the world but more a sign of things to come. One of two furnaces didnt work. There was a delay in getting it looked at (I wont push since one of those days was Christmas) It was unusually cold out - the entire main floor was upper 50's at night and too cold to enjoy during the day. Our texts are promptly answered but the delayed vendor missed the fix on cold day 2, ordered a part on cold day 3, and we went 3-4 days with no heat in the main living and 2 bedrooms. no water for the great looking master bathtub - unusable all week I was told a part was ordered but in 6 days they didnt get it operable things missing or falling off walls - missing toilet paper rack (replaced after 2 request and 2 days) hanger, towel rack that fell off (fixed that week) The main living room curtains fell off the wall. I asked that they just take them away if they couldnt fix since we didnt need them - after a few reminders they were taken out of the house on day 5-6. the pool and hot tub wont heat when the air is below 50 - (I would say that is closer to 60) the system also only heats one or the other. I'll spare you the details on the service requests for this, I just dont think its the right system for a house that rents for this price range. Even the pool service person told me that a cheap screen to block the air off the bay would help a shower didnt drain, this was fixed pretty promptly. Service people and service texts: again nice people but I had to do all of the follow up. and they seemed to have little vendor control. I was constantly texting for updates. most calls you get different person and have to start over with them. Anyone would expect so much more for the money. It's a good house in a wonderful location. It wasn't prepped well and there are some cheap materials. I would have thought that having what seems like a large rental company with staff would be an advantage, a call line, vendor pull - but in this case i think it hurt us. I got a credit but was told I couldnt have the amount I thought was fair. I dont need an apology, just improve for others, but I wouldnt do what I see you do with others and refute facts, I have a long embarrassing text list available.
Property power was out for first 6 hours after arrival- property mgmt team provided no options on backup plan for housing in case power did not go back on- pretty much on our own. 1. Cable box not working in family room- had to pull from another room myself; property mgmt never replaced during stay. 2. Refrigerator leaks at bottom- had to keep towel at bottom of appliance 3. Water leak in ceiling downstairs when it rains. 3. Built in microwave does not work- they had small replacements on counter- but for a property this size- replace the microwave. 4. Numerous bricks/tiles are loose on pool and spa- safety issue in my opinion. 5. Door handles in back patio loose. This should be a very nice property but in my opinion, is not being looked at after usage in the way it should. Couches are stained, many of the walls should be repainted. Very unfortunate-
Paying for the view & location. Although both where great, this property is over priced. Don’t get me wrong, the house is beautiful, but the patch ups on this house is why I feel this house is over priced. There was a seaweed “muck” that formed around the dock that stunk (this being out of the property owners control). We’ve stayed at several properties through VRBO & with all things considered, if all the patch ups where fixed I would stay here again. AMI would be considered a must visit!
There were minor problems in the kitchen and hot tub. Both were rectified in a timely and professional manner.
Love the views, got a lot of great pictures! Can’t wait for our next trip here. Thank you
We travelled with 5 couples to Anna Maria. House was just as pictured. Amazing view with lots of wildlife (dolphins, manatees, rays, small shark and birds) sightings everyday! Walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The free trolley system is great if you do not rent a car or golf cart. Would have bee awesome to have a bathroom on the pool level along with a wet bar and/or small fridge for cocktails but then I guess we would not get our daily stair steps in going up to the kitchen to make them. ;) One thing that was wrong on the listing was the shared hallway bathroom. This bathroom is on the main level (2nd floor) not the upper level (3rd floor) so the people in the bunk room had to go downstairs to use the restroom. Our one main complaint are the beds. They are horrible. Very hard and VERY loud every time you turn you feel like you woke the whole house. Otherwise we had an amazing time!
Our group really enjoyed being on the bay with a dock and nice outside seating. Minor problems were fixed in the first couple days. We liked the quiet neighborhood and the quick walk to the beach. All in all it was a lovely two week vacation with friends.
The view was impeccable. The house was beautiful but needed some repairs. Pool was nice. Enjoyed sitting on dock looking at the water. Saw dolphins, jellyfish and birds. Pool table nice but pool sticks need tips and chalk. Less than 10 minute walk to beach. Very relaxing!
