Great location and house

Great location two half blocks off of Pine Avenue. Layout of the house is perfect for a Florida pool home. The deck below the second level provides a great shaded area overlooking the pool and hot tub. Indoors the bedrooms are all very private, the bathrooms are large and the kitchen is huge. Highly recommend to any family or group that needs four large bedrooms and a relaxing entertainment area around the pool.

Everything was as wonderful, as stated. My kids and grandkids had an amazing time. Property was perfect for the whole family. I didn't give it a 5 for check in due to the fact we couldn't get in, due to wifi issues. Property Management was quick to fix it, no problems after that. Will definitely return.

Girls 50th Birthday

We had an amazing time! The property location is perfect! Super close to everything. AMI Locals provided great referrals for grocery shoppers who delivered our groceries before we arrived, private chef who we hired for a dinner, golf carts that were delivered to the house, and pop up tent rentals for the beach. It was nice to relax and not have to worry about these things. They did provide us with a list of things not included so we could add to our grocery list. Only thing not listed was coffee filters just FYI. Only suggestion I have is for a larger group we could have used more coffee cups and more steak knives. All in all, it was amazing! The pool was perfect, plenty of towels for the pool, chairs, etc. We will definitely rent again!

Blue Marlin

The Blue Marlin was a nice home, and the outdoor space was wonderful. There were eight adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. These are the issues we encountered while staying in the house, poor water pressure, fridge icemaker not working, dishwasher needs to be replaced or fixed and kitchen stove issues. AMI brought us ice to resolve the ice problem and were very helpful when we called. The items had to have manufacturer service, so nothing was fixed while we were there. It's not much fun having to wash dishes on vacation. I would ask if these items have been repaired or replaced before booking.

The home has potential and the location is lovely, but several major issues significantly impacted our stay. We experienced a malfunctioning stove that repeatedly shut off, failed to detect pots, and had a chipped corner that caused a deep cut on my finger. We also had ongoing problems with the pool and spa heat, which never reached a usable temperature despite multiple requests for assistance, disappointing since the pool was a main reason we booked the property.While the property management team did address the malfunctioning door alarm the day after I reported it, the stove and pool issues, two significant features of the home were never resolved after having them come out twice to address the pool. We also initially had non-functioning door codes for both the main house and the MIL suite, requiring multiple calls to gain access.I reported everything promptly and documented it, but unfortunately did not receive any meaningful resolution during or after my stay. After checkout, I only received a generic marketing text offering 5% off a future 7-night stay, which did not address the issues we experienced.For the price point and expectations of this property, the stay fell short.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations and that you encountered issues with the stove, pool heat, and access codes. This is certainly not the level of service or comfort we strive to provide. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can address these concerns immediately and prevent them from happening again. We understand how important these amenities are to your stay, and we regret that we were unable to resolve them during your visit. We value your input and would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss a resolution that reflects the trust you placed in us when booking. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

New House Two Blocks from Pine- Great for Families

New house in an excellent location two blocks from restaurants and shops on Pine. House is exactly like the pictures. House was awesome except air in master does not work effectively and property manager will only allow thermostat to 71. Master is very hot. Kitchen could also use more essentials such as Tupperware. Beach items very limited. Otherwise a great house.

British Family Halloween Vacation

Overall fantastic modern property in a great location perfect for our family vacation with young children. Three main areas that need improvement are 1) more/better kitchen equipment (we had to buy a new can opener as the existing one didn’t work), 2) WiFi was spotty and unstable which was frustrating 3) the air con controls were hard to manage. Best bits were 1) great pool and hot tub 2) large spacious rooms with en suites and 3) walking distance to main local amenities like the fitness centre across the road.
