Pool was clean with a good amount of shade and sun. The house was clean and comfortable, kitchen was stocked well. The best part was the vicinity to beach access very short walk. Thanks for a great stay!

The weather did not cooperate with our vacation so we only got to use the pool once. The pool was very cold until Thursday and we did use it then.

Hi Angie, yes your week was unfortunately a cold week for us and so sorry about that, we definitely wish we could control the weather! The pool heater will not work when the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees. Nothing in the review was actually mentioned about the home just a 4-star review on the weather and pool but since we didn't hear from you at all during your stay we hope you enjoyed overall!

Lovely home close to beach with honest review

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 really enjoyed our stay at Escape to Serenity A. It was perfect for our family of 3 for a lovely week at the beach. It is a short walk to the beach via White Ave. It was clean and everything was in working order with plenty of kitchen items. We even got in earlier than posted check in time! The welcome package had more than enough dish pods and extra trash bags for us. I would recommend some throw blankets be available as the air conditioning works great! There was plenty of hot water available for all 3 of us to use back to back which was great coming in from the beach/pool each day. I wasn’t a fan of the outdoor laundry but know that is common in Florida homes and it wouldn’t make us not consider renting it again. Also, the photos show bikes but there weren’t any when we were there. Again, not a deal breaker for us. There were some beach chairs, beach toys, a wagon, pool noodles and floats available which is nice if you need them. That area of the beach seemed less busy so it made for great days! All in all I recommend this place for a small family. We will definitely consider renting from Island Vacation Properties again as they were excellent at communication and I feel if we had issues, they would have been very attentive to any issues. Highly recommend them!

Perfect Place

We’ve been coming to AMI for past 7 years+ 8th visit this April. Stayed several places and this by far was one of our favorites and was perfect for husband and I. Loved the location, the space, amenities, bed was super comfortable and pool perfect! Looking forward to booking it again in the Fall!

Beautiful AMI

The unit was clean and the beds were very comfortable. For families with kids- there are no games, puzzles or pool toys. The cons- beach chairs are extremely cheap and uncomfortable, no wagon to haul everything and it would be nice if there were hooks to hang towels etc. overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful

We had a great stay, my only complaint I wish it was longer! We were walking distance to the beach and a short drive to most stores & restaurants. The house is really nice and very private! The photos looks like 2 units in one building but it is one stand alone building with another beside it and you can’t see or hear each other which was nice.
