    House is in excellent condition - well maintained - great location - pool and yard maintenance was ongoing during our stay (it was windy so this was appreciated) - all as advertised- would gladly come again

    We enjoyed our stay at this home. The pool was a huge hit with our son and the stunning beach was a short walk away. We were grateful for the beach cart and chairs provided. It would be nice if they included a beach umbrella for shade. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the kitchen was the perfect size. Appliances and furniture seem all new - replaced after the hurricanes last fall. I felt like the home was decently clean, but could use a really deep clean all over - especially the bathrooms and floors. Seems like maybe extra dust from recent construction. It also looked like there were previously curtains on the kitchen sliding patio doors that were missing. The property management company is very quick to reply and I liked that we could text to communicate if something needed fixed, etc. I would definitely recommend this location for your next AMI visit!

    We enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the back yard. Very peaceful and private. I wish I could have lowered the air conditioning below 72• because it was still very hot and humid in September. We pretty much lived in the pool! I would definitely visit again, just in the cooler months.

    House was decorated so nice with a beach vibe. Beds were comfy and tons of pillows. Pool was amazing! Very short walk to the beach. Took the trolley to explore, stops were so close to the house. Watched the amazing sunset from the beach every night. Was truly a week in Paradise ❤️

    Overall it was a good experience. The house was as expected. Could have been a little better appointed and kitchen could have been cleaner. But that being said the short walk to the beach was great. We bought and left two beach chairs because all but one was broken. It was a nice stay overall

    We absolutely loved this house. The backyard was a tropical paradise with a heated pool. The beach is a short walk and the sand is soft.

    Walking on sunshine was truly walking on sunshine! We had a week of perfect weather and the home exceeded every expectation! The house was exactly as it appeared, a beautifully decorated open space. The pool was pristine! The backyard was truly a private oasis! And the beach was the exact distance stated! So often this is not the case. The home was also in a very central location. We have rented many Vrbos in various locations. Hands down this was our favorite! The management company was truly the best we’ve ever dealt with. The only suggestion for improvement would be the alarm to the pool. Totally appreciate for child safety but would be awesome if could bypass if just adults staying there.
