Paradise
My friend and i stayed in the downstairs unit and it was great! Immaculate and furnished nicely, although we didn’t cook, the kitchen was nicely stocked with all kinds of dishes and cookware. The sunsets from the private beach are breathtaking, too!!

A little piece of Heaven❤️
My two week stay was awesome, wish it would have been longer. Beautiful area of Holmes beach, step out the door and the beach is right there. Clean white sand and beautiful water. We were impressed how comfortable the beds were along with the comfy pillows. Definitely coming back to such a cozey beach house . 🏝

Super nice location
We had an awesome time on AMI. We loved the downstairs Valhalla. This place is in a wonderful location and right near several places for all your needs. The house is right on the beach. Never had to put our shoes on the first time. Step off the porch and your in the sand! Would stay here again!

Beautiful location
This house was perfect for my family. We have 4 kids ages 9,5,4,2. This place easily fit us all with the pullout couch. They have updated some of the furniture than what is pictured! The location is perfect and within walking distance to anything you could need! Beach was stunning! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Family vacay and graduation celebration
Walk out to beach - perfect. Able to connect with family. Only 1bathroom was a challenge. Hand washing dishes had not planned but not a big deal. Walking distance to anything needed including ice cream shops. Oh construction next door was never mentioned.

Comfortable rental with a great view
The 2 bedroom rental was clean and comfortable, and had a great view from the front deck. There are a few things that were a bit negative, no dishwasher, the washer/dryer were rusted and accessed by outside door, and footsteps of people upstairs were quite loud. However, we still had a great time!

Great location
Great location, right on the most beautiful beach. Walking distance to shopping, dining. Golf cart is a must 🙂 House very comfortable, quiet. Would love to go back. We had an issue with accessing the property in the middle of the night. The keyless entry provided did not work. After reaching the on call person we were informed that they had issue with the lock and we need to pick up a key at the office. No one checked on us, when we dropped the keys at the office the staff was not interested In who we are, where we stayed, etc. No customer service.

You can't get a better view or beach. Kitchen and bathroom great. Bedroom carpet in desperate need of replacement as were kitchen chair cushions. Dish drainer disgusting. Need to go outside to get to laundry room which was in need of cleaning.

Do not hesitate to stay here. Accommodations are OK, but this spot on the beach and Island are amazing! And FYI, make sure you look in to and reserve you "Beach Buggie" a few weeks in advance to arriving.

Had an amazing time
I stayed at this property with my family, with grown kids 20 and 30. We had an amazing time. This property has everything you need for your stay. The location is top notch. We’ve stayed on AMI 9-10 times, it is our favorite place in Fl., this property was the best by far. Hoping to visit again soon.🌝🌴🐳
