Its an old house but good one!

It is an old house but has the space needed for a big family and a dog. It is in the perfect location and the management was good.

Great time at AMI!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is spacious and roomie and very close to the water. It is a little dated, but the size of the property makes up for that. Simple things like cookie sheets and proper size coffee mugs could make a difference.

Bollinger House side A

We have been vacationing in Holmes Beach, FL, for over 10 years and usually stay in the Walker Cottage on Avenue F, which we’ve always been very happy with. This time, we stayed in the Bollinger House and it was wonderful. The house offers two master bedrooms, a full kitchen, a third bathroom in the laundry room, and both gas and charcoal grills. We loved the patio with its table and chairs, the carport, and the abundance of beach necessities provided. The yard is great for walking your dog. The only recommendation we have is to add a blender for the kitchen. We are looking forward to our next stay at the Bollinger House!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great 2 week stay in Bollinger A. The only issue we had was the Wi-Fi connection didn't work but the staff responded quickly to our problem. Turns out it was a Spectrum issue. The patio furniture especially the chairs need to be replaced because the seats are broken

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space is great and location; we have stayed several years and always been pleased. This year the house was dirty - there was food on the chairs in the kitchen and dirt on the floors. The refrigerator door handle was missing as was the second bathroom's toilet seat cover. Great location but very poor general condition of the house and the cleaning staff needs retraining

Great location but very old and filthy seatings

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of this property is great. 2 minute walk to the beach. I knew the house was old but it was much older than I thought. This property really needs a facelift. The beds were clean and more or less comfortable. Pots are very old and some of them are not usable. The whole house is filled up with furniture from 70's and 80's. If you are planning to spend a minimum time inside the house it is okay place to stay.

The house was older but had a great mid-century vibe. The kitchen had everything we needed and the utility room had wagons and chairs to take to the beach. The location (about half a block from the beach) for the price can’t be beat! We would stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we stay at Bollinger we’re looking for a low budget rental with easy access to the beach and public trolley system. We get that each time we’ve stayed there. We got exactly that but if the ongoing termite issue gets worse and is not resolved then we likely will not be back.

Cozy, comfortable & spacious duplex in a great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This gem is an older duplex that features lots of windows & natural light but also has blinds for evening privacy.This unit has comfortable but somewhat dated furnishings. Great beds & bed linens ; plentiful, plush, beach & bath towels. Good size kitchen but could use a new set of pots & pans if you plan to do any serious cooking. There is a shared laundry rm with large capacity washer & dryer just outside the back door. The best thing about this unit is it’s great location, just a short walk to pristine beach, trolley stop right across the street & it is in a very quiet walkable neighborhood. Rental agents were great to work with. We would definitely like to come back again!!

Exactly way at we wanted!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Every year my family takes a trip to Ana María Island and we hate having to stay far from the beach. This home was perfect! Literally 3 minute or less walk to the beach! This home has all the amenities needed for a big family (loved that we didn’t have to share bathrooms 😍). My children enjoyed the comfy beds and the fact that there was a tv in each room. Linens were very clean, kitchen and bathrooms were sparkling. I recommend this home to all families especially with little ones that take naps in the middle of the day. Thank you again for such a relaxing stay! Can’t wait to book soon!

All original, but awesome location for our family

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here 3 times because it's location is soo close to the beach and easy to get to both Pine Street and restaurants around 50th. We know it is all original appliances and not updated, but ok with that since always very clean. We are here to enjoy the beach not looking for 5 star kitchens. That said, I do think it is time for a new dishwasher and refrig. The dishwasher didn't automatically open to let the soap out and it is sooo loud. The refrig if you put any water or sodas in the door portion it wouldn't stay latched closed as it couldn't carry the weight even of 2 water bottles. Also, could use a few different kitchen items like a baking sheet and more glasses. I would stay again just because the location and price are great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVED the location of this property. The property has such great potential to be an awesome rental. Bedding and towels are very nice, but everything else is very tired and worn! The stove is on its lst leg, the furniture is badly stained, the sunroom could be such a wonderful space but is a room that you just dont want to spend time in because of the furnishings. It needs updated pans and cookware. It has great space and light. With just a few updates it would be perfect!

Sand Instead of Snow for Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is like returning to Grandma's house in the 1960's. It has a great vintage vibe and a super location to the beach which is where we were. We were not inside much except to sleep, shower and cook. The 3 baths were great especially the "wash house" bath which was just like my Grandma's too. The kitchen appliances need to be updated and the interior walls and trim all needs a fresh coat of paint. The A/C worked well thankfully as the window screens are mostly torn and some windows could not operate either. The gas grill was a lifesaver for dinner prep as the stove does not work well at all.I would recommend the home for a 7-10 visit tops. A month in it would not be enjoyable. Area rug in living area needs to be replaced too. NO steps was a plus to access the home. If you don't want to be indoors a lot this place is fine for a week.
