Good Location, Comfy Cottage

The cottage was well located in Holmes Beach, and an easy walk/bus ride to either end of the island. It was spacious with a cozy feel, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. The only reason I gave it 4-stars was because the A/C was not working and the water heater was unreliable on Day-1. The A/C was fixed in 2 days, but the water heater had to be replaced after several days. To be fair, both FDR and the owner were very responsive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Oh what an improvement two comfortable chairs would be. Hideaway couches are notorious for being uncomfortable, but two other chairs would really help.need some kind of vacuum to pick up sand.

Definition of rest and relaxation

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: We had a wonderful time at this property. It was not only charming and cozy; but, it was also immaculately clean. It was so welcoming and had really all the amenities that had been detailed in the description.We spent a lot of time on the front porch. It was so nice and allowed for a lot of good family connection time - unplugged.The street is not a direct route between Gulf and Marina; so, the road is quiet - which is really nice as well.Lastly, it is a highly walkable location around the island.

Wonderful Stay

We had a lovely stay of 9 days. The house was perfect for my aging mother because it easy one story and was easy for her to maneuver around. I wish there was a bar in the shower for her but we managed. We had an issue with air conditioning but it was resolved within hours and it was a Friday evening!! I love that maintenance is on the island and was so friendly and polite. Neighborhood was quiet. We really loved the patio and we used the grill alot! I will definitely be back!!

Small but decent place

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: PROS: * they have beach towels, styrofoam cooler, pails for kids and a beach "stroller" which helps with the 0.3-mile walk to the actual sand of the beach* the outdoor back area is well equipped with a Weber grill and 6-person commercial-grade umbrella* front porch has a small settee, 2 chairs and small coffee table and end "stands" - although the awning leaks a bit, there is a 3 foot overhand from the house so you can push up against the wall to sit out when it is raining* it's 0.3 miles to the Ugly Grouper and the Salty Dolphin boat rides, 0.5 to the "town" of Holmes beach and 1.25 to Manatee beach which we consider walkable although there is a free trolley that stops about 0.25 * 2 ensuites is nice although the laundry/utility room is through the largest bedroom as well as the fastest access to the back yard* the management staff was extremely responsive to 2 issues we had although the website message center did not have a contact form (maybe it was the browser I was using?) CONS:* no outdoor hose* only one towel rack in the front bedroom so squeezing 2 bath towels and a hand towel had them falling to the floor a lot - would be good to get a hook at least to the right of the sink and maybe behind door* you'll need to drag a chair over to the utility room if you want to see the dryer settings and you're not 6 feet 2 inches tall* too many decorative pillows which took up a lot of valuable closet space* the areas around the door handles were dirty (very apparent with white doors) but I left comments on the form so maybe they will remedy that* kitchen is extremely tiny and no dishwasher but the did provide dishsoap and a clean sponge* we're not fans of blended drinks, but if you are, we did not see a blender so you may want to check* conflicting information in the binder so best to call the office if you have questions

Gulf Winds Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Property was perfect for our needs during our 10 day stay. Duplex that’s newly renovated, with everything you need and was clean. With the property being well appointed, I’d recommend a couplethings to better outfit the property: towels were only a few and hodge podge mixture of low quality. Seemed like someone went to a thrift store and grabbed a few wash clothes, hand towels and body towels. There were 2 towels for the master bath, 2 towels for the 2nd bedroom bathroom. When you’re out at the beach and sweating all day in the heat, it’d be nice to have a couple more towels so you aren’t having to do laundry frequently just to shower. Living room chair is wicker and uncomfortable to sit in. Recommend owner invest in something suitable for their property. Couch is nice and comfortable- a nice comfortable chair that you’re able to sit in would be enjoyable and realistic assuming you have up to 3 or 4 people in this property. Couch is too small to squeeze 3 people on it.Tile floor is beautiful but our feet was black when walking around on it. Cleaning it beyond brooms and vacuum would be nice.

The cutest cottage!!!

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: This was a completely updated cottage, the pictures are spot on! The house was very clean and spacious, and although we did not cook, it appeared all the cookware was available to do so. The backyard was adorable with a huge deck and BBQ. The front has a beach landscape, which was unique. My college aged daughter and I stayed here to attend a wedding at a near by B&B. This was a very safe and quiet neighborhood. It's probably a 5-8 minute walk to a public beach from here, but the unit had a nice wagon to pull your chairs and cooler. The Realty company was very responsive from my very first call, and answered my many questions. They were very easy to work with. Just read the conditions and check out procedures and you'll be fine! We are from the PNW and this was our first trip to AMI, but I am already planning on a return trip! I am happy to recommend Florida Dreams Realty of AMI and this particular rental unit!
