Beach Potato

Condo was convenient to the beach, grocery store, and church. Sunrooms were nice but we missed an actual outdoor space such as a balcony. We are returning next year as we got used to sunrooms.

We loved our stay and are hoping to come back next year! Only thing of note that was frustrating - the wifi is for the whole condo (about 8 condos) and was hard to connect to. The TVs in the master didn’t work, and the guest room needed a new Roku. AMLVR was FANTASTIC to work with, but the owner of the condo refused to share their private WiFi password. I know this is a first world problem, but when you have a sick kiddo you’d like the WiFi to work. Otherwise, a great stay and will definitely work with AMLVR again (but I’ll book directly through them).

Beach Potato Is Awesome!

The unit is huge and the location can't be beat. There were so many amenities (chairs, wagon, coolers). The unit is well stocked and had nice little touches like shampoo and dish soap. We can't wait to return. The location is amazing and you can walk to stores and restaurants.

The unit was in an amazing location! So close to the beach, Publix, and other stores and restaurants. The pool was very nice even though we barely used it because the beach is so amazing here. We loved the condo! The kitchen was well equipped. Loved sitting on the porches. Thanks for a great week!

Very nice

Spacious, clean, updated condo in a wonderful location. Any issues were addressed immediately by the Agency - I would definitely work with them again. Only negative about the condo is that both decks are enclosed, with small sliding windows - so you don't feel like you have any outdoor space.

Beachside Getaway

Perfect. Location, size, furnishings, and ease of the island made our week long stay perfect! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well supplied. The walk to the beach was short and the pool was relaxing! We called the office because the air stopped running on Monday- they changed the filter while we were out and about and the unit was working perfectly upon our return. Thank you for the perfect getaway that our family needed. Booking was fast and easy.

Very nice condo

Had a great stay here at Beach Potato. Exceptionally clean. Could have provided a few more basics like spices, cooking oil, coffee etc. We weren't told that there were beach type supplies that we could use. We discovered them for ourselves in a storage room down by the parking area. Please check this out before you buy. Some of those items were not in great shape and should probably be replaced. The pool was wonderful and we usually had it to ourselves. Beds were very comfortable. Thanks for the nice stay!

Great Location on AMI

Beach Potato is located in the best spot of AMI. Close (120 steps) to the beach, a short walk to Publics, and the strip mall with many shops including Holy Cow Ice Cream! (Yum). The Condo is well appointed with plenty of room for four (4). The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools to meet your cooking needs. The ground floor storage area has all the beach supplies you will need. Our only “negative” comment, and it has been mentioned in other reviews, is the noise from the unit above. Due to the hard surface floors, you hear all the movement of the people upstairs. We have already booked and look forward to returning next year!

Perfect location

First off I would like to say I am not happy with the VRBO charge! I have been renting through this company and have never been charged before. I was told I would receive a credit but never did. Management company couldn’t tell me what it was for. Nor did VRBO explain the charge. Just greed. The condo was very close to a path to beach. It was great! Had an issue the whole time we were there with the heater broken on the pool so we were never able to use it. The management company did their to keep us up to date. Also, roof top deck needs a lot of repairs. We did enjoy out stay!

Perfect place except for 1 thing

My sister and I absolutely loved this apartment. It's nicely decorated, well stocked, has beautiful porches and is so conveniently located to amenities and the beach. Our only issue came a few days into our stay. At midnight, a family arrived in to the apartment upstairs. It sounded like they were moving furniture up there. There is NO noise buffer between the apartments. They had children and we could hear every little footstep as they ran from one end of the apartment to the other. The baby slept in the room above mine and I had to listen to it cry itself to sleep every night. This is no fault of the family. Just the way the building is built. But this is the ONLY reason I would not stay here again.

Perfect Beach Stay

Rented this unit for one week with a friend. The pictures are very accurate. There is actually more than what is shown. A nice larger HD tv in the living room, a large stainless steel fridge. Beautifully remodeled bathrooms. Comfy sofas. Nicely appointed lanaiis, in-unit laundry, beach equipment storage area. We found most helpful the beach wagon. Although the beach umbrellas could use an update, one worked for us. The tvs all have Roku, and there is an Xbox connect. Steps away from the beach, less than a two minute walk. The access is private and the section of beach is clean and quiet compared to the public beach further down. Hose by carport to wash down feet and beach items was very useful. We didnt use the pool since the gulf was so calm and warm that week. The neighbors using the other units were all very friendly. I only have two very minor complaints. The mattresses and pillows in the second bedroom with the twin beds were very uncomfortable. I imagine it would not have bothered a 60lb kid but for a grown adult, it took a couple nights to get used to it. The pillows need a refresh. I travel with my own pillow cases and when switching I saw the yucky drool discoloration on the pillows that didnt have cases. Also, we paid for linen service and whatever service is used, they provide the worst towels I have ever encountered. The towel fibers pilled on your hands which is very obvious when you go to put on lotion. I couldn't towel dry my hair or body without getting a coating of fibers almost like fuzz all over my skin. I resigned myself to just air-drying. The beach towels were somewhat better in that they didn't pill but they were very thin and rough, not nice to lay out on the beach. The yucky towels and pillows were not enough to put a damper on what was otherwise a wonderful stay. I would def consider staying here again if the second bedroom had a full size bed or the couch was a pullout. I would make sure to leave room in my luggage for a bath towel and a beach towel. The unit is perfect for a family with two kids. All in all we had a wonderful stay and were very pleased with all other amenities, esp the cookware and dishes. A great location on the island! Thank you for providing a clean and relaxing home away from home!

This was the third place I rented in 3 weeks. Each place was with a different rental company. While all were nice, I could see the very professional way this place was cleaned & prepared. I very much appreciated the storage compartment in the parking area along with the beach chairs. I really enjoyed my stay
