I booked this home for my 50th birthday with eight of my girlfriends. I could not have asked for a better house! There were nine of us total and it fit us all in comfortably. It also had everything we needed. I had many questions for the host and she always responded back to me quickly! That outdoor area in the back was absolutely fabulous. The beach is right across the street, and the house is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, perfect location! We made lots of great memories!

Have stayed in AMI for the last 5 years. 4 adults and 5 kids. We’ve stayed at almost every style of home. Ones with rooftops and elevators. This was the style for us! It’s simple yet nice. Being able to walk out from the kitchen to the backyard is SOOO much better than having to walk down the stairs each time you want to grab a drink or a snack. Also being able to sit inside while the kids are in the pool and look directly at them was great. Location is also the best. It’s right at the end (and in the middle) of the canal. We took a boat one day and they dropped it off to us at the house!! Still would recommend a golf cart if going up to Pine but that’s just me being lazy ;) Overall I would strongly recommend this house really anyone.
