Great Stay and Great Location

We love our vacations on AMI (since 2015) and this year was no different. The unit was perfect for us (3 people). A very short walk to the beach and good location to Pine and north of the island. Layout of the unit was unique but everything was provided - beach chairs, wagon, cooler, towels, etc. Beds need an update though but that is a minor point.

Needs some love

The location, 4 doors from the beach, on 81st street was great. The place was quiet. Unfortunately, there was an awkward layout that wasn’t obvious with the promotional pictures, and several broken, missing fixtures. Outdoor cushions were faded and dirty. Pergola was old and rotting. We were told, after sending a list of items needing repair/replacement, that the place would be renovated beginning the following week. Would be nice to receive a demo discount. Love Realty should be more careful in accurately presenting their rental properties

Shabby and very worn.

So many things need to be done to this unit starting with new linens and towels, decent lighting in the kitchen (no window in kitchen), clean pots and pans, paint old, , peeling front door, wrought iron outdoor furniture needs to be spray painted, sliding glass bedroom door doesn’t slide. We paid a premium for this rental and feel grossly over charged!! Only good thing is the location!!

Wow - this is very sad to hear as the property manager asked how your stay was and nothing was ever mentioned. We wish you would always let us know so we can try our best to accommodate you during your actual stay. We have informed them of your feedback and ensure all will be updated asap.

Great home and great proximity to the beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The location couldn’t be any better with just a short walk to the beach. The cleanliness of the home was superb!
