Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Unfortunately when we arrived after a 15.5 hour drive the house did not appear quite like the pictures in terms of the condition and cleanliness. Nonetheless we were excited to start our vacation. I had ordered groceries, kids jumped in the pool and we began to unpack and discovered cockroaches around the house. Some dead, some still moving, in the cabinets, on the floor. It was after-hours but I sent the property management a message. We left and got a hotel for the night because we did not want to bring home a cockroach infestation. I lost my groceries because we had to stay at a hotel. I later found a different property to stay at for the remainder of the trip. It took the management company about 36 hours to contact me after reporting the issue. They did not reimburse my groceries or night at the hotel. The insurance I purchased through Vrbo also did not cover anything so I would be hesitant to book through Vrbo again and would not rent this property. I would avoid this management company if possible.
Great location. Loved the pool and hot tub. Short stroll to the beach, way less than I thought. House was a perfect fit for our family

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Karen. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again soon!
This home was perfect for our family. The walk to the beach was short and the neighborhood was quiet. The pool was the kid’s favorite part. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for allowing us to host you, Holly. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon!
This property had all we wanted for a week at the beach! Our kids loved the pool and being close to the beach access made it really easy for us to go back and forth from the house. Inside was laid out really cute and comfortable, nice kitchen and living room area for hanging out together. We liked the location too, close enough to places to eat and shop without being too busy. Checked all our boxes and the management company was great.

John, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed the home and its convenient location. We hope to host you again sometime soon!
We stayed for a week with our parents and 3 small children. The pool and hottub were nice and heated. The house clean and exactly like the pictures. A short walk to the beach. We can’t wait to go back again next year!
This is a wonderful home at a great location. Pool was great for kids. Was disappointed in the cleanliness of house and bedding. We washed all linens and cleaned a lot when we got in. Kids had been there before us and colored on walls and furniture and it could be removed. We did some. Left some as not our job. Overall I would recommend but take cleaning supplies.

We hope to host you again in the future!
Great location. The beach is literally down the street. The beach was never crowded in this area. Sea turtles and manatees in the area were amazing. The “no-see-ums” insects are really heavy in this area. Bring your bug repellent and sunscreen and you will be fine. The house was well kept and we loved our stay. I do believe there is some raccoons around but they didn’t bother us at all. They only came out at night. Would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone.
We loved this property! The location was the best part - less than 2 block walk to the beach. The pool was also a great feature along with the outdoor shower. The beds were comfortable. The property manager was extremely responsive. On a Sunday when we were there it seemed one of the AC units was not working. We called and they had someone out on a Sunday evening within a half hour. Right before he arrived it started working but he checked both units just to be sure. One morning the garage door opener stopped working. We called and it was fixed that day. One morning when we were walking on the beach we came across the Turtle Patrol and they had rescued 9 baby sea turtles and were releasing them into the ocean so we got to watch and it was amazing! We would totally stay here again!

Love hearing this, Marie! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, pool, and easy beach access! What a treat to catch the baby sea turtle release, as a local I try to catch the turtle talks at least once during season! Thanks for the kind words about our team’s quick response. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back with AMI Locals anytime!
Overall, good. Bathroom sinks drain slowly. Shower light was out. Two of three plastic chairs around the pool were broken. One collapsed while my daughter was in it (she’s fine!) Otherwise, as advertised and a great location to a quiet, relaxing beach. (In all fairness, the items were so minimal that I didn’t report them)
