more? There are several great rental places that have everything from baby gates to golfcarts, and they
will drop them right off at your vacation property for you. No need to pack beach towels we provide
those for you.
Remember we are laid back and on Island time - Flip-flops and shorts are ok for breakfast, lunch and
dinner no need to overpack you will most likely be in your cutest bathing suit or bikini anyways.
No need to pay the crazy high fees to check all those bags! With Publix, CVS, and Walgreens right on the
island you can grab any sunscreen, hair product anything needed, why haul it all with you?

Great location, amazing backyard

This property was great and held 8 of us easily. It had everything you would need and the backyard is great! My only complaint was I don't think the property was cleaned great before we checked in, and the grill was filthy.

Absolutely wonderful!

Our trip to AMI was absolutely wonderful! We traveled from Missouri for a family wedding and had people of all ages with us. The house was the perfect setup and the back yard/pool area was the best! The swim ledge was perfect for our 2 & 4 year old. We were so thankful for the included beach toys, wagon, cooler, and stroller! We would book this place again in a heartbeat!

Family vacation

We had a group of 7. Ranging in age from 9 to 74. The house was nice but many things didn’t work (ie tvs) or were very dirty ( the ice dispenser and washing machine were incredibly moldy). Proximity to the beach was good and there were a few restaurants and shops within walking distance. This place is run by a company not a person which isn’t my favorite. The website was horrible. I logged in once and then could never get back in. The price was way too high. And they supply absolutely nothing for cleaning the home or toiletries. I think this is silly since we are responsible for helping to keep the home clean. Instructions were lacking for how to use the pool. We struggled to get the hot tub even warm and we have a pool so not being able to figure it was frustrating. I would not return to this home but it nice while we were there.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful vacation on AMI. The house is exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed and the beach was less than 5 minutes away. The pool is great and very private. Only issue we had were the tires on all but one bike were flat. But, we were able to rent bikes for the week from Beach Bums. We would definitely rent this property again.

Family vacation

The location of this property was great. The beach is close by and the area was quiet. The home had plenty of space for us all and the decor was very nice. There was some cons to our trip. The WiFi password was listed differently in several places we contacted management and they were able to help us. Other things we came across with the property were the main fridge ice maker was broken along with the outside bar fridge had a door broken off the freezer. Apon arrival it did not seem to have been cleaned in the outside patio area. Landscaping appears to have not been taken care of in quite some time .During our stay there was not enough hot water for all of us to take hot showers. The washing machine appeared to have black mold on the door gasket and had a musty smell. The toaster only toasted lightly on one side. Some of the patio furniture was stained or breaking. During our stay someone came once to clean the pool, it was stated they would clean twice. We are not pool experts so not sure if this pool was a chlorine pool but we did not smell chlorine at all . By the end of our stay 4 out of 6 of us had very painful inner and outer ear infections to deal with which the doctor thought it could be from dirty pool water. There were a few rodents seen outside nad in property . The breaker to the master bathroom kept tripping also. The bunkrooms smoke alarm was missing from the ceiling. I did mention our issues at the end of our trip to management by email.
