The home was great. It could use a few minor updates here and there but overall we loved the location, house layout, and cleanliness. The pool area and canal were great. Overall the pool itself could use a deep cleaning.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, layout, and pool area. The pool is professionally serviced twice a week, and the home features a modern kitchen and updated electronics. We welcome any specific suggestions and hope to host you again soon.
There were 6 adults in our group and we all got very comfortably for 2 nights. House is walking distance to the beach if you don’t have a lot of stuff to carry. It’s also close to a few restaurants and shops.The pool could use aesthetic updates but it was clean and temperature was refreshing. The hot tub doesn’t heat up, that would’ve been nice. Outside grill/kitchen area was very clean and handy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this property.

Nice open floor plan, updated kitchen and baths. The bedroom configuration was as described. Pool and outdoor area was very nice. Short walk to a very nice beach. 3rd bath is the pool bath but it was not inconvenient and was nice. Only complaint is grill did not work and kitchen furnishings were slightly underwhelming.

We really enjoyed our stay here - it was perfect for our needs with adults and elementary age kids. Very spacious. We loved the pool area and the fact that we could bring our 21 ft boat. I will book here again!

Perfect home away from home!
The location, comfort, cleanliness & communication with Vacasa agents is always the best. We can't say enough great things about this home & the Vacasa people! We'll be back!
We stayed over Easter. The house itself was great, it appeared to be recently updated.The one thing the house lacks is curb appeal. There was no landscaping , just overgrown weeds, even around the pool. I found myself pulling weeds because there were so many. Kitchen has everything you need. Local property management was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Overall a good stay, would definitely come back.
This properly appears to be recently renovated. It was clean however it needed a few more repairs. The ceiling fan in the main bedroom need to be replaced. Bed needed repaired. The pool cage screen needed repaired. Bugs were coming in and biting us. Pool deck needs pressure washing. Small repairs would have made our stay perfect.

Fantastic location
We loved the location of this property! The pool was great! Overall we had a great vacation. The property itself needs updating but we knew that from the other reviews. I would highly suggest getting a golf cart or at least a bike.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Tamara. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time at our beautiful home. We appreciate you letting us know there is room for improvement, and we will pass your comments regarding the golf cart and bike on to our local operations manager for consideration. We hope to have another chance to impress you in the future.
Overall this worked great for us. About 2 blocks from the gulf coast. Fishing access on an inlet behind the house and pool was great for us and kids. Out of the way for major island traffic but close enough to the coast to walk and enjoy it

We had a great time with family and enjoyed the house and pool! Please be aware the inside bathrooms are very small, the outside shower is bigger but kinda inconvenient, my hubby is 6'5" and had to use it. Other than the age of the property, its nice and the pool area is great!

Great location
The location of this home is wonderful. The home itself needs some work. The lanai area is fabulous! The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful. Unfortunately, the home itself was not as great. The beds are very hard, the kitchen is not well appointed and the supplies that are there are subpar. The dining room table only accommodates 4 even though there are three bedrooms. There are plenty of beach chairs to use which was very nice.

Wouldn’t stay again
Roach crawled across the couch while someone was sleeping, pool was too hot to swim in due to the heater being on, broken furniture, broken back screen door, pool sensor wires cut and disconnected, fridge did not cool our food/drinks, ice maker didn’t work, pictures on listing were not accurate at all

Hello, Lauren! We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. Before your stay, all appliances and amenities were functioning, and we conduct a thorough inspection of the property each time. We understand the pool temperature can be warm due to Florida's climate, but we encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can address any issues promptly.

This is an outstanding property! It lacks some quality kitchen “tools” “utensils” whatever you would call it. Was very difficult to cook! Needs better pots, pans, KNIVES for sure.
Other than that, loved it!
House was clean, on a quiet street, near restaurants and beach. The dock was great for our boat with easy access to the gulf. The kitchen lacked measuring cups, can opener and steak knives but we we able to pick those up at the store. The beds were comfortable and and the air conditioner cooled the home perfectly. The pool area could use a good pressure washing but the pool was maintained properly by the pool service. We enjoyed the pool and gas grill for cooking. The outside bathroom was wonderful for rinsing and washing off after a day at the beach. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to another vacation on AMI!

Far From Finest
While we loved the pool and hot tub, this property could use some serious attention from its owners and managers. A few hours of electrical, plumbing, carpentry and general cleanliness would go a long way. Not our first visit to AMI but this property’s condition isn’t for us.

Colin , we are disappointed to read that your recent experience was not satisfactory. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you!
The home interior is very nice - plenty of room, clean, comfortable beds, TV's in all of the rooms. The location has beach access about 2 blocks away. Also, about 2 blocks is Jenny and Jane E's restaurant and shop - very popular spot and great food and atmosphere. We got the impression we were the 1st tenants after a change in ownership or remodel as (1) the keypad instructions were incorrect and we finally were able to enter the home with keys from the lockbox (2) the garage door has to be manually opened and we had rented a golf cart which would not clear the garage door unless someone tall enough could fully raise it (3) there were no trashcans or toilet paper holders in 2 of the 3 bathrooms (4) there were no hooks in 2 of the bathrooms and anywhere on the patio to hang wet towels, bathing suits, (5) it took a couple of days for the pool man to come and add chlorine to the pull which was turning green (6) the place needs the weeds to be pulled (7) the pick up days for the garbage were incorrect in the book (8) the blender was poor quality - unable to make our "beachy drinks" virgin pina coladas and daiquiri's - I think this was a great place considering - just needs a few things fixed and added to make it more accommodating.

This was a nice home, very spacious. There is a need for a cleaning around the backyard outside of the patio. The patio needs to be pressure washed and swept as my son and I both stepped on tiny pieces of glass during our stay. The sliding glass doors are very hard to open and make it almost impossible to get shut before the 8 seconds alarm starts blaring. The boat dock is very nice and the AC works great! Beds could use new mattress as they are all very hard. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Ashley, thank you for the review. Thank you for the suggestions and comments to help us improve the guests experience in the future. While we understand that sleeping preferences vary widely, we are sorry to hear that the bed did not provide for a comfortable night of rest. We look forward to hosting you again! Thank you!
House was great! Only bad part was the air was not working when we arrived. We called and had to wait on hold for almost 2 hours but finally got someone to come out (even on a Sunday at 9:00 at night). So thank you so much!! For future renters make sure you bring your own salt and pepper as there was none. Also there was no foil or plastic wrap. Our kids loved the pool and the lanai was great! My husband fished off the dock so he enjoyed that. The third bathroom which is in the lanai was air conditioned and nice to have by the pool! Rented scooters from Robinhood rentals and had a great time riding around the island. Would recommend this house! Thanks for the wonderful stay!
