Escape from Reality

We really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow, the pictures were an accurate description of the cutely decorated and comfortable home. Upon arrival the lock box gave us some trouble so I'd suggest upgrading to a keyless/code entry system, but we figured it out. The pool did need maintenance but Laura had her pool guy there within a few hours! She was VERY responsive and kind throughout our entire stay. We loved the ability to be able to walk to the beach, bay, mini-golf, shops, and to food/drinks. We even saw a manatee in the bay while enjoying an afternoon ice cream! I appreciated that beach bags, syrofoam cooler, chairs, umbrella, and other necessities were provided for our beach adventures. The bedrooms are spaced on opposite sides of the bungalow so our daughter (12) felt more comfortable sleeping on the pull out couch and having us in the front bedroom near her. We found the perfect solution for our family but thought it might be noteworthy for people reading reviews. The beds were comfortable and fans were available (you noise sleepers - I see you - this made my day instead of having to use my fan noise app). We would absolutely stay here again in the future! I thought Laura was a great host, the bungalow felt like home, and location was terrific!

We had the best time at the best location!!!!

We loved everything about our stay. The location is perfect for the beach, which is just across the street, as well as for every shop, restaurant, and bar. The home was wonderful and decorated with a fantastic beach vibe. The hosts were terrific and provided everything we needed to feel at home. After a day at the beach, we relaxed by the pool and then walked into town (just one block away) for music and great food. We will be back! Cheers!

Perfect Hideaway

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the house! It was a very easy walk to all of the restaurants and fun - Bridge Street is one street over! The beach was a quick walk and the provided chairs and umbrellas meant less that we had to purchase or bring with us! I think my kids spend the entire vacation in the pool though, ha! The house was very clean and perfect - we will definitely be visiting again!

Wow - what a great place right in the middle of everything

This place is lovely. The description on the website does not do it justice. There are so many little things that make your stay so much better that aren't even listed or mentioned. Check-in - you get an email / text a day before explaining the process, in summary you get a code which unlocks a keysafe to let you in. You keep the key with you for your stay then pop it back in the keysafe when you leave. You also get some specific info to assist you with the 'house rules'. This is a lovely house and some people may not have treated this place as they should do. It belongs to Laura and Kevin who allow others to use it, they provide a giudebook in the kitchen that gives more details about everything in the house and surrounding area. Once inside there are aircon in the lounge, 2 bedrooms and the rear area, 4 in total to keep you cool. The property is very well decorated with a lovely beach/sea vibe to relax you into you holiday. Nothing is done on the cheap, its all quality stuff, to help your stay. Little touches like, lots of different types of glasses, plastic drinks for the yard/pool area and even frosted glasses in the freezer (which is huge with water/ice/crush dispenser). Front bedroom is directly en-suite and the rear room has a lovely bathroom directly opposite and very private. Laundry room has two huge new units and the pool/yard is amazing, lots of sun and shade at same time. Pool and garden lights make this a great area. Located right in heart of AMI, awesome!

Unicorn Property

Unicorn property for a family of 4! Located in the perfect AMI location. Each morning we could go left or right out of the house and walk towards amazing views/ activities. The beach, the pier, restaurants on the water, mini golf, donut and coffee shop were a few of our favorites. The backyard is magical - provided our kids with hours of entertainment and such beautiful landscaping. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we walked away with so many core memories for our family. Highly recommend this property.

Great location, great house!

My wife and I brought our 4-month old on his first vacation here and had a really enjoyable stay. Perfect location, right down the street from beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. Little noise from the nearby bar one evening when they had live music but was quiet by 9pm or so. The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable and has basically everything you might need. The backyard is a nice bonus and fairly private with the tree cover, and the heated pool is great on cooler evenings. The island is idyllic and definitely worth the trip! The host Laura was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Relaxing and fun for the whole family

The property was nice with a split bedroom layout. Great appliances throughout. They do have the separate air conditioners in each area which do an admirable job of keeping the place cool, it just takes a bit to kick in once you arrive and turn them down. Truly the best feature, especially in August was the cooled pool. Even when the ocean was warm, the pool was refreshing and we spent a ton of time outside. The location is also about a 2 min walk to the beach and a 5 min walk to Bridge St and the pier. It was a great time of family bonding!
