First time we stayed at a VRBO that was actually nicer than the description! The home was immaculately clean, kitchen was well stocked with new looking appliances, utensils, pots, pans and dishes. The beach chairs and toys were very nice, the pool was an absolute delight! What an amazing way to wrap up a day after enjoying the short walk or fun golf cart ride to the beach. Close to many nice shops and restaurants. We will return to this property! Excellent communication with the owners and absolutely zero problems or concerns.

We loved this property! The house is spacious, nicely decorated, clean, with an awesome well stocked kitchen. A quiet street on the north half of AMI. We have stayed a number of places between AMI and Siesta Key, but this was our favorite. The back yard with the pool, grill, pergola, furniture, and privacy is terrific. Even on a couple cooler days it was very usable and the pool was kept warm to enjoy all the time.It is a very short walk to the beach, and all the chairs, umbrellas...are available. The large church parking lot on the side and back is a nice place to shoot some baskets or some other recreation.
