Pros: Great location and proximity to the beach and shops. Pool and patio space is nice.

Cons: This property is a duplex and the pool and patio are shared. Our host neglected to tell us that a bachelorette group rented the larger, attached unit. This was very inconsiderate of the host not to share this information with us. We would not have rented the property knowing this up front. The group monopolized the pool well into the evenings past midnight and also locked us out of the garage from accessing the beach accessories. Thankfully they left Sunday morning around 10:30 and we were staying on through Monday early afternoon so we at least had a full day without a need to share the space.

Other cons: The cottage interior is very tired and not overly clean. The kitchen lacks good cookware, the food burned easily to the bottom of the pans due to the poor quality, so we ate out more than we planned. There were leftover crumbs all over the top of the refigerator and many of the dishes in the cabinets were not clean. Salt and pepper were the only provided spices.

Bathroom: The bathroom is dated and the sink did not drain, the plug was permanently closed so the water drained at a snails pace and we only had one roll of toilet paper to use, there were not any spare rolls in the cottage. We did find a large amount of red plant pollen on the back of the tub but this supposedly had come through the window during hurricane Irma and was missed being cleaned up prior to our arrival.

Bedrooms: The king was ok but the twin beds were not comfortable at all for adult use. The twin bedroom could use darker window treatments to allow for longer sleeping in the morning.

Misc.: Warped floor boards at front door and ceiling vents were dirty. The outdoor shower head was rusty and the interior was ridden with debris, so we opted not to use it.

Suzanne was accommodating with our arrival and departure times but that is the only positive with regards to communication.

Conclusion: We have rented several vrbo homes over the years and we would not return to this one unless some updating is done. To gain quality repeat clients, it wouldn't take much to improve this property in the way of flooring, a bath and kitchen redo and more comfortable beds. Most importantly, more considerate communication of the shared space... informing us of the bachelorette group would have gone a long way giving us the option to rent a quieter space elsewhere. We loved AMI and hope to return soon.
