Newly remodeled unit with all new appliances. Very clean and convenient. The beaches are a short drive away and very nice. Great restaurants nearby especially the Waterfront on the north end of the island
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I only have good words for this rental property.
Everything was precisely as seen on pictures, so neat, clean, modern, efficient and kid friendly.
The host was very pleasant and easy to communicate with.
The neighborhood was quiet and safe which meant peace of mind for our little family.
The playground nearby was a plus!
We would go back anytime.
We had an amazing time in AMI! This house was perfect for my husband, our 18 year old daughter and myself. Loved that it had 2 bathrooms a perfect size kitchen and laundry. Also loved that it had beach chairs and a wagon to pull everything with when we went to the beaches(yes we went to almost all of them). Some of our favorite places to eat were Salt (best key lime pie), Pizzanos (Juan was amazing), Koconuts was a great night time atmosphere on the beach with live music, The ugly Grouper amazing grouper tacos and cheese logs, and the best place ever that we had ice cream EVERY DAY was Two Scoops!! It’s a must try for sure….we even walked across the street to eat it by the water. We will definitely be back to visit AMI!
