enjoyed stay but would like a few changes.. microwave too small and way to high to use safely. Bath and Kitchen needs to be updated and enlarged. Loved to location and the shade and view. parking is difficult would be nice to have a foot washer to get sand off close to door. grass would help

Wonderful stay!!! It is perfect for a laidback beach vacation. Old Florida vintage perfection. We loved walking right out the door and onto the beach. So clean and so comfortable. Perfect size for 2 people. Great location for lots of restaurants. We loved being in AMI and will definitely book again!

Absolutely thrilled
With just 48 paces to the beach and another 50 to the water, you can’t get any closer. Management contacted us periodically to see if things were enjoyable and responded quickly to questions and requests. This cute little bungalow had everything we needed and more so we will hopefully book two weeks next year.
