We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The hosts thought of everything, from a well-equipped kitchen to thoughtful amenities like shampoo, sunscreen, beach towels, and board games. The pool and spa area was a true oasis, with comfortable outdoor seating and gas grills for enjoying meals outside. The welcome charcuterie platter, wine, and chocolates were such lovely touches! We really appreciated the attention to detail and had a relaxing, enjoyable getaway. Highly recommend!

We have rented many beach houses over the years and this by far topped them all for an overall experience. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Dan we knew we chose the right rental for us. We loved all the things that made this rental special from the golf cart to the pool to the cold drinks in the fridge to get us off to a good start. The surf was very extreme at the beaches during our short stay due to hurricane Isaisas so we really loved having the pool area. It’s the first rental that exceeded our expectations. Our family of four (2 young adult daughters) voted that we would stay here again.

Our Hosts were so helpful, they had great communication and a tour when we arrived. The cottage was immaculate and has every single thing any home would. Distance to the beach is a couple of blocks. Outdoor pool and hot tub were so relaxing after a long day at the beach.They left us recommendations and as 1st time visitors to the Island, we had awesome food and drink. We will be back!!Thank you Goose & Dan

We had the most amazing family vacation. The location was perfect with a short walk to the beach. They had anything you could need for the beach available from chairs, toys, paddle boards, sun shades, beach cart, cooler, beach bags and beach towels. The golf cart was such a bonus with going around the island for ice cream, shopping and dinner. We are so happy we chose to stay at this cottage.

This adorable cottage was cozy and perfectly clean. The inside is adorable, but the backyard pool area is a true oasis. Our family was in the pool constantly and enjoyed quality time together in the hot tub. We absolutely loved our time there.

A truly amazing home and hosts. Perfect location away from crowds yet close to everything. They provide just about anything you need. The house was very clean, the heated pool was amazing and being able to take the golf cart around to all the amazing restaurant's and shops was so fun. Can’t wait to return.

They really provided everything. I brought my own beach towels because you never know, but theirs were actually better than mine, lol. The golf cart and bicycles were great and it was a close walk to the beach. We enjoyed the shade and privacy of the pool. It was a great experience at A.M.I.

Extra amenities in the rental property was a nice touch. We liked that you left us a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate my retirement. The pool was a nice way to relax at the end of the day. It was nice to have you right next door to greet us and if there was anything we needed.
