The property was just as nice as shown in the photos, and a comfortable and relaxing stay for our party of 5 adults and 2 children. The pool temperature was comfortable, especially considering the temps only got up to the mid-70s; the hot tub was very relaxing and reached a very warm temperature. The five minute walk to the beautiful beach was perfect. Excellent vacation overall. We highly recommend this property and vacationing in AMI.

My middle school and high school and daughters and I had a wonderful, relaxing spring break vacation. The house is beautiful. The rooms are big. We loved being able to walk easily to the beach and to restaurants. And we spent a lot of time in the backyard pool. We had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at Surfs up. The house was beautiful and have everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The beach was close and we loved the pool and AMI area. The house was in close proximity to everything on the island. Some of the beds were firmer than our preference, but we would definitely rent this house again.

This property is perfectly located very close to walk to the beach or take the free trolley to shopping, restaurants, or any other activities. The backyard oasis is fantastic with pool, hot tub, grill, and plenty of seating/lounging in both sun and shade.
The house itself was perfect—plenty of sleeping space and a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals!

AMAZING VACATION RENTAL
Thank you for an amazing stay on AMI! Surfs Up was perfect for our family Vaca with our 3 adult(ish) children and their significant others. The house is simply gorgeous with plenty of space. The kitchen is very well appointed. We didn't lack for anything. The 2 ensuite bathrooms are stunning and the shared bath has plenty of room for 4 grown people to manage with ease.
I underestimated how much we would use the pool, but it ended up being our gathering spot every night and one rainy day!! It is a perfect set up.
The homeowners supplied a beach wagon and a few chairs for guest use, which was very nice for the people in our party who flew in.
Anna Maria Life was incredibly attentive and answered all our questions! I wouldn't hesitate to book thru them again!
house was very nice had a few small things like ceiling fan in small bedroom was noisey and the house could use a few more outdoor thins like a shade tent for beach

Also the lock in the bathroom doors was not working.
Is a beautiful home .
We will come back again.

We had a wonderful stay! There was more than enough space for us. The whole family enjoyed the pool and spa both during the day and night. Proximity to the beach was amazing! Having access to a beach wagon, chairs and water toys was so convenient and helpful when transporting items for the day. We suggest grabbing a few essentials before checking in as after travelling for a few days, laundry was needed and there is none provided. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this property!

This property was wonderful. A lot of privacy if needed, but a large center room and pool for gatherings. Only a short walk to the beach (I fished everyday), and an easy bike ride to anywhere.
Check out the Monkey Bud if you are heading downtown. Fun drive for all. I would stay here again.

This house is really nice and location is really great as well! We had plenty of room to spread out but come together as a family! Pool area is super the pool deck/shelf was super for our youngest grandchild. We had a airconditioning issue but the staff was on it very quickly so it was not a problem. We plan to rent again in the future if we need this much space.

It was a nice place. The management company called and checked in and was quick to remedy issues. The rooms were great. Loved the pool and hot tub. My one suggestion is to have more cleaning supplies for your renters. We only had 1 roll of TP per bathroom. Maybe 2 per bathroom, especially when you advertise for 8 people max. Also, you want us to keep dishes clean but only provide 1 dishwasher cleaner. Makes me question if past renters just rinsed dishes and put them back with lack of cleaning supplies. Same with trash bags, etc. I understand not overstocking as some may take them but at least leave enough to help your renters keep your place looking nice and clean.
Overall, it was a nice stay. Washer and dryer worked well. Fridge and stove took a long time to cool down/heat up but that's to be expected with a rental. Spacious for our little family.
