Loved 2 week stay at Holmes Beach on AMI in OCT. Easy beach access up the street and on other streets close by. Holmes Beach has calm surf - no issues with rip tides. Neighborhood is nice and quite. House was clean. All tile floors helped with dogs. Pool/jacuzzi made the house even better!

AMI Stay Summer 2025

First AMI is a great place to vacation for the laid back family or couples trip. I’ve been coming here every summer for the past 9 years. Tropical Oasis is a fine home for families or couples. The home is pleasant and mildly decorated. The pool is the highlight of the house. Some of the pool furniture is a bit dilapidated and could be replaced, but overall I loved this place and would like to return. The neighborhood is welcoming and easy going. I loved it ‼️

The house needs renovations. The bedrooms( the ones close to the kitchen)are super hot at night. The air conditioner is good outside but not inside the rooms. The pool area also needs renovation. Pool dirty. Needs landscaping .The same happened last time we were there but now is worse.

Tropical Oasis, a cozy house

We spent a lovely week at Tropical Oasis. We enjoyed every moment in the house, as well as in the beautiful pool. The customer service was magnificent. The proximity to the beach make the house located in the best spot or place. We can't wait to return next summer. It's a very nice and cozy house.

Would stay again!

In close proximity to beach. Very spacious with very nice pool and access to garage, which was nice. This is listed as a "pet friendly" home. We did NOT have a pet. However, there was dog hair on the floors. Otherwise, the house was clean as far as the linens, toilets, showers, kitchen counters, dishes, and to us that was the important part. The only reason I mention it was that I felt like the floors did not get cleaned, as we had to wear shoes/socks after showering, as the floors would turn our feet very dirty and there was alot of dog hair from last renter. The landscape, though it did not effect our stay was sad with lots of weeds growing up on the patio area and around the entire house. Regardless, I would stay here again, as it was very nice.

Great Location

This home was very close to the beach. Beds were comfortable. House was spacious and in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to great restaurants. There was plenty of room for 5 guests. Loved the new grill. Pool was nice and warm but would’ve loved instructions on how it worked. Took us a while to figure out the hot tub and we never did get the pool light to work. Pots and pans were heavily damaged and need to be replaced. With a few updates and some good instructions this home could be top notch.

1 mattress shy of perfect.

Everything was great. House had soap and adequate toilet paper. Plenty of towels and cleaning products for the week. The pool and hot tub were great. The only one fault... And it was a big one is the master bedroom mattress was trash. The guy who paid for the place had a sore back while my guest and kids were well rested and rambunctious.

Beware the A/C does not work good!

This is the 2nd year we have stayed at this house. The location is perfect , but the air conditioner will not cool any of the bedrooms! This is 2 years it has been this way! The pool needs to be resurfaced! The home needs some work as well. We got there and the code they gave us was way to long for the key pad and we had frozen items and ice . It took 10 plus minutes to figure out how to get in ! We had 4 fans going in the master bedroom and you ould barely sleep in there . The same in all the other bedrooms! They need to spend some money on this home!

Won't use Vacasa again.

Very disappointing. Property managers were not responsive to our problems. Tried calling the day we checked in regarding entry code not working and ants in the kitchen. I had to call back on 3 days later getting no response. Said they would call Spectrum and drop off ant traps. Someone finally came to fiddle with the internet connection and place traps. Finally, a week after checking in, a new living room TV came(that one wasn't working for the week) and it was discovered that the internet was not working. Unfortunately, the entry keypad was connected to internet and that was why it didn't work all week. Our whole list of problems and concerns were finally addressed after a full week. The pictures of the house and backyard were totally deceiving. There was not a comfortable place to sit inside or out. Furniture was old and very worn. Mattresses were not at all comfortable. The ice maker didn't work, they did leave ice cube trays. The dishwasher was old and wouldn't start very easily. There was also broken glass in it. Light fixture in master bathroom was so old and worn out that the maintenance guy couldn't even get it to work properly. The twin bedroom still had the hurricane doors over the windows so in an emergency, anyone staying in there wouldn't be able to get out. The whole house needed a good deep cleaning. We have re read some of the old reviews on the place and it seems that nothing has really changed, despite comments from the Vacasa to improve. Overall, this house was in a great location and the pool and hot tub were wonderful but the house and property need a lot of care and maintenance.

A budget experience at a premium price - unless you love devilled eggs

When small details are crap, they add up to a heap of crappiness that exceeds expectations of how crappy something can be! Since ‘03 we’ve rented 15 properties nearby. We know what to expect and for these rates it’s fair to expect a decent standard. Island homes are often older, so no complaint that this house was tired and needing paint. As another review said, there is nowhere comfortable to sit. The furniture seems as old as the house, despite the misleading photos. The footstool worn through by countless feet, leather sofa worn to rough suede, patio furniture designed by a sadist and ancient giant tube TV lurking amongst VHS tapes all create a certain atmosphere. The master bed is criminally uncomfortable, the room inexplicably hot. Run the AC enough and the rest of the house freezes. Not easy to fix, but a check in the crappy column. The bedrooms are dark. The storm shutters are closed and broken, enhancing the bunker vibe, and half the lamps are missing bulbs. If more than 3 of you visit, you’ll be sharing small, old towels. The kitchen is bizarre. 2 Bundt cake tins for all your beach baking. Pans with heavily-damaged surfaces. A melted cutting board and knives so blunt, they probably qualify as child-safe. A total of three tiny, clouded wine glasses, and a psychedelic devilled egg plate, presumably for entertaining sightseers fascinated by the vast collection of ancient Tupperware. The garage provided broken chairs and umbrellas, more Tupperware…and another devilled egg plate, just in case. If complaining about wine glasses sounds entitled, none of the other properties we’ve rented have come so comically equipped. We like a warm pool, so paid $350 for heating, presuming TECO must generate electricity by burning diamonds. We were unexpectedly refunded: “The pool’s warm enough”. Eh? Well, the first few days were fine. A cold front and heavy rain crashed the temp to way below ideal, so we asked for the heat to be turned on, at the diamond rate. “We don’t turn it on after April”. Customer service is for losers! Later it occurred to us that the pool heater probably didn’t work. Aha! As for basics, does it really save THAT much money to provide only the cheapest, transparent, single-ply toilet and kitchen paper? A premium price paid for a bargain-basement, budget experience. It would take little time, modest expense and little effort to flip that around. You just have to give a damn.

The home was very clean and the pool area was very nice but the home was in desperate need of some general updates to make it comfortable. For instance the washer lid wouldn’t open and you had to hold it while you filled the washer. The dryer door was a struggle to open due to the closet door it’s housed in. The fridge was small and no ice maker. In one bedroom the light fixture looked as if it was going to fall and it was over the bed. The biggest concern was for safety! The second night we were there we were going to make hamburgers but the grill had a flas burst of fire and burnt all the hair off my husband’s arm and part of the eyebrow and hair off my dads face. Apparently the grease trap was clogged and then the grill caught fire. My husband is a firefighter and thank goodness because the extinguisher was COMPLETELY EMPTY! He used salt and was able to extinguish it. I feel this has probably happened before as the house has black on that area and the outside lights have been removed from that area. We contacted Vacasa immediately and got no return call at all. Not even to check on the condition of my dad and husband. Also the outside lights both front and partially in the back, did not work. The house is in great proximity to the beach but in all honesty, I would not stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone else.

Nice distance to the beach

We had an okay experience. Communication with Vacasa could be better. The only time they responded in a timely fashion via email was when there was an issue with our shower. Unfortunately, the master shower was clogged and couldn’t be fixed until the day before we left; we were discounted some of the cost of our stay for this at least. Calling the company means you’re calling a call center, so they don’t really know anything about your specific property. I was also bummed to learn that they don’t offer a place to drop bags in case you arrive to the island earlier than check-in. The pool/hot tub area is nice, but we had difficulties with it consistently running well. It was a bit of a puzzle to get the hot tub to heat sometimes as there were no instructions posted. I did appreciate having TVs in the bedrooms. Do note that one of the beds is a Murphy style bed with not the most comfortable mattress, but the bedroom is private. The walk to the beach is great. We rented a golf cart and we’re able to park it in the garage. Check-in was simple. We were offered a late checkout for a fee, but only until 2pm. The Vacasa app says that late checkouts allow you to stay to 7pm. I asked via email about this and never got a reply. The house had a gas grill, but it was janky. We were happy to see that they also had a charcoal grill, which we ended up using instead with charcoal we purchased. I emailed about the grill, so hopefully they will service it. All in all, we likely won’t stay with Vacasa again. There are so many rental companies on the island and a smaller company or independent owner may offer better service.

MARCH 2022 STAY

Property location was great. Property could use a good deep cleaning. Several things need repaired, such as outdoor furniture. Ice maker did not work. Kitchen knives were bad - could not cut so we bought a new one. Every time I contacted Vacasa they responded right away and sent someone to the house. One employee even contacted me at 6:30 pm - after her workday to let me know what was happening. I really appreciated her!

The house was just what we needed, pool n hot tub included. 1.5 blocks from the beach for great daytime swimming and sunning in the sand and wonderful sunsets! The rooms were big enough, the layout allows you to spread out when needed or gather when you want. AMI and the Tropical Oasis through VACASA are our happy place!

Spacious house, needs TLC.

The best of this house is the location, very close the beach. Tropical Oasis is spacious and it has a very nice patio and pool. However, there are several things that needs fixing. Although the patio is very nice, it was dirty and very messy, dirty chairs and tables all over the place along with old deflated pool floats laying around the pool deck. There is also an outdoor shower which is dirty and it has weeds in it, the shower head also needs to be replaced. Inside the house cleaning was also an issue, blinds need dusting, the house in general requires a detailed cleaning. Additional hangers will be beneficial, kitchen pots are old and need replacement. One of the biggest issues we encountered was with Vacasa customer service. The house is advertised as one car garage and two driveway spaces. When we arrived, the garage was full of old and peeled up dirty furniture. We contacted Vacasa’s customer service number, but no one came to clean the garage, my husband ended up moving the furniture inside the house to a corner of the dining room as we needed the 3 parking spaces. We also contacted Vacasa, Saturday, the day of our arrival, because the A/C was not cooling down, this time someone came in Monday, luckily the A/C started working Saturday evening. One of the beds had linens but no covers, several days later we found the covers in the dryer. Overall, the house was nice but had several inconveniences. The house needs to be better cleaned and upgraded and the customer service needs HUGE improvement as they need to be more attentive to their renters.
