By FarThe Best House Ever!

We come to AMI every year and this house has been the best one we have ever stayed at. The proximity to the beach was fabulous and we loved the pool/hot tub as well. The only thing was that the master bedroom on the middle floor was very warm and it was hard to creep. It was 90+ degrees though so that may have had something to do with it. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location- close to beach and restaurants

This house was a perfect fit for our family- it was a very short walk to the beach and we were able to get to many places quickly and easily with the golf cart we rented. The pool was perfect for family that didnt want to spend their day at the beach. The layout of the house allowed for people to be able to have their own space and privacy if they needed that. The house was clean and well stocked with items we needed for a week. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and accessories provided. The property manager was very responsive to questions and one small issue we had with lights not working outback. Added bonus that we could bring our labradoodle to this pet friendly house. Highly recommend this property for an enjoyable home away from home.

Great location!

Lovely and spacious home situated a short walk to sugar sand beach. There were plenty of beach chairs and other gear for us to use. Our family of 6 (and two small dogs) never felt crowded; floor plan is great for group/large family. We enjoyed the private pool/deck. Tasteful decor and well furnished property. The only exception was the clothes dryer that never worked (we packed light knowing we could do laundry during the week). Property management promptly addressed a slow shower drain but the report on the dryer was that it could not/would not be remedied during our stay : ( Management offered to help with laundry fees but we ended up using a local (extremely clean) laundromat when we had a chance, to dry our items. We enjoyed our family time together to the fullest! AMI never disappoints and we made great new memories to cherish.

Perfect location and so close to the beach! We went to the beach daily then came back and took advantage of the pool. Plenty of beach chairs, toys and a wagon to use. Beautiful home and exactly as pictured. Plenty of room and ideal layout for our family vacation (which included small children). Kitchen was well stocked (plates, glassware, pans, etc.) Also, ample pillows, blankets, towels and beach towels. We had a great time (wish we could have stayed longer)!!! Can't wait to return!

Such a beautiful home, steps from the beach and trolley stop. The heated pool with lil waterfalls was a perfect addition. Wonderful communication from the rental management company (very responsive and helpful) and all was just as described. We were visiting for our grandmother’s memorial (who loved the island so much) and all was so relaxing and healing. Thanks so much.

Blue Palm was Paradise!

Home was beautiful and very well appointed. Fit our family of 7 wonderfully. Kitchen had everything we needed for meals in. We loved that there were plenty of beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon and other beach toys ready and waiting for us. The location was fantastic, 2 min walk to the beach and still centrally located to many restaurants and shops. We also made daily use of the beautiful pool and especially the spa. There was a bed linen mishap at our arrival but AMI was quick to respond and very gracious to provide a credit. We would love to rent this home in the future!

Florida vacation

Nice, could use some more dishes and glassware. 7 adults used quite a bit. Pool was not clean and chlorine regulator had been turned off. When we asked about this, lots of nonsense. one day later pool person showed up and stated they had been waiting on salt to be delivered and he put in the salt and turned the regular back on. Would have been nice to have somebody just tell us that.

Would stay here again

We had the best week at AMI in this house. You never know if the listing will actually be like the pictures suggest, but this one was. I can't say enough good things about this house. It's location was perfection (across the street and 3 houses in from the beach). The ceilings are tall, the beds are so comfortable, and the pool is a great size. There is a cart with beach toys and plenty of chairs to go around. (We left the beach toys we purchased, as well as a kite that we bought and didn't get around to using.) The only "complaint" would be that the twin bed bedroom door didn't shut all the way, but that room was being used by our 5 and 7 year olds so that didn't bother me. We 100% will stay here again.

Perfect House for family gathering

The house is beautifully laid out with lots of space for alone time and gathering time. The proximity to the beach is awesome and the pool/spa are a welcomed addition. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 15 family members with lots of room for cooking and eating. Only downside was that there was absolutely no cleaning supplies in the house which was challenging especially in the kitchen. Otherwise it was definately a place to revisit

GREAT Location, Terrific House!

We had four adults, and three kids (2, 4, & 5). The house overall was terrific for our family, each couple had a King MBR with en suite, and the kids had plenty of space in the two guest rooms. The layout of the kitchen, family room, and pool area was terrific for spending time together, cooking, and relaxing after the beach days. Proximity to the beach made it easy to run back/forth as desired - it is no more than a 2 minute walk from the garage to the sand. The kitchen and grilling area were overall excellent and very well stocked with cooking tools and utensils. The property management firm was also extremely responsive when we arrived and found a dirty grill (with old food still on it) and a dirty pool. These were items that were caused by the prior guests, and they had stuff there within 20 minutes - no exaggeration. Understanding that we are quite particular, our personal suggestions to the property manager would be to cut back some of the landscaping around the pool (felt overgrown and got the pool dirty daily with leaves, branches, etc), replace 2 of the broken beach chairs (total of 4 available), have the cleaning crew spend a bit of extra time vacuuming the carpets, and hire an exterminator to help limit the ants we saw in the kitchen as well as perhaps cloud the deck to limit the mosquitos. Water pressure in the first floor MBR bathroom shower was also much lower than the second floor MBR bath. Again, being quite particular here, but in a luxury rental having these items addressed would further enhance the overall experience. All things considered, we agreed we would stay here again and are considering booking for 2022 if we opt to return to Holmes Beach versus trying another region/state. The pros of this house far outweigh our nitpicky concerns!!

This property is wonderful! The house immaculate as well as beautiful! The pool so nice. The best of all is the close proximity to the beautiful beach. We all liked the wagon and chairs for our beach use. We had a couple situations that needed repair and someone was sent quickly. If I had any negatives it would be that there could have been more wash cloths provided. There wasn’t enough for each person. I would definitely recommend this gem of a home!!

Great location - bring/rent bikes!

Absolutely loved the location and the house. There were some issues with the hot water in the upstairs master shower that were a bit confounding due to the on demand water and a shower valve that needs replacing - my wife had a couple of very cold showers but we used other bathrooms. Pool was great although controls for temp seem to be locked in (remote didn’t work). In summary though, even with these minor inconveniences we wouldn’t hesitate to rent this house again. GREAT location 1 block from beach and wonderful area for riding bikes to a variety of shops and restaurants. Loved our stay.
