Loved this place!

This was the perfect place for my husband and I and our 2 teenage daughters. The location was perfect as it was an easy walk to Pine Street (less than a mile) where several shops and restaurants are. It was also an easy walk to the beach and the cart available made it easier to transport our beach items. It was also very clean and recently updated. Would love to come back!

First time in AMI

The Dolphin house was a perfect rental home for our introduction to AMI. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. Beautifully decorated with nicely organized amenities, we quickly settled in. Despite being located on a busier road, we found the home quiet while inside and secure. The short walk to the residential beach and availability of beach accessories was great. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

We escaped a little of the midwest winter/cold for some sunshine and white sand beach. The dolphin was clean, updated, everything was in working order. We had everything we needed for the beach— chairs, umbrellas, towels . Host was very responsive with suggestions on places to go and restaurants. Gave great advice about putting our name in early at some of the places.

Couldn’t be happier

We had an amazing stay. Communication was great we were all set when we arrived. The house was very clean, bright perfect for our family of four. Close to the beach (5 minute walk) easy commute to restaurants or nearby shops. Would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion that we would have for improvement would be screen doors for the front sliders. We left the front sliding doors open all evening as the weather was beautiful but a few bugs started to come in later on. Would just be nice to leave these open longer and not have the bugs inside. Again no issue just a suggestion for the future. Place was perfect for us - we loved it! Thank you - look forward to staying again. Best - Jeremy & Sara

Beach Town magic

Wonderful property in a refreshingly quaint beach town. Beautifully maintained and clean property with all the items 2 parents and 2 daughters (18, 20) needed to make family memories. AC worked great on very hot days, and location was nice and quiet. Easy walk or trolley ride to quaint shops, fantastic restaurants, and eateries. We decided after staying here that this is the side of AMI to stay on -- closer to the "downtown" and away from the public beaches. Walk to the beach was easy (especially with the new wagon), and chairs/umbrellas were just what we needed. Walked the beach in the AM for sunrise, baked in the sun, watched the sunset from local restaurants, and even strolled the beach at night. We leaned into the tourist thing as well and did a nighttime "glass bottom" kayak (with the LED lights) tour, and dolphin/sunset cruise. Great memories from a family that will DEFINITELY be back. The house was a home run, and the owners were responsive to any question and request!
