    Fantastic cottage! We visited for a week to celebrate our son's graduation and it was wonderful. Very clean and near the beach. The owners were very easy to communicate with and were super responsive to our questions. Highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property. Perfect condition and location. The air conditioning did stop working on Friday evening, but the host was very responsive and had it repaired by Saturday morning. I would 100% book this property again.

    Great location and beautiful cottage. Easy walk to beach, bars/restaurants. I usually rent a golf cart, but really didn’t need to this time.

    My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Charming Cottage. We experienced some crazy weather during our stay and the host was very communicative with us. They also helped when we experienced rental car issues. The house is conveniently located in walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to plan another trip to AMI and experience better weather!

    We had a lovely time at the Starfish Cottage! Just the right distance from the beach access and local shops/restaurants, great shaded pool, clean with great decor throughout. Ice maker in the kitchen was a nice touch, as was the basket of cozy blankets in the living room. A/C worked great and the screened porch was a lovely respite from the heat. Would love to return!

    The pool was a perfect size for our young children and it was delightful to retreat to the porch for morning coffee and evening night caps. The cottage is perched in such a wonderful location on the island—close proximity to beach, shops and restaurants. Loved our time here and wish it could have been longer!

    This was our first visit to AMI, and we found that the location was perfect. We easily walked back and forth to the beach and to all the wonderful restuarants in the area. The cottage was even better than we imagined, and had all the ammenities. We especially loved the pool and hanging out on the front porch.

    I spent my 49th birthday here with my two teenage sons. The home couldn’t have been more perfect! The beach decor is beautiful and the house feels like home. The beach is a very close walk. The pool was refreshing after a day at the beach. I actually felt like I was in the islands floating around the pool, which was surrounded by a lush tropical landscape. The grill came in handy as we ate dinner around the pool. The swing on the front porch was my favorite spot for coffee in the mornings and relaxing in the evening. The home is updated throughout and very clean. There are plenty of charming restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops near by but still away from the business of people. It’s quiet and actually my favorite part of the island. We enjoyed cooking at the house, they have everything you could need. We can’t wait to come back!
