The house was very nice and a great location. Downside - Some of the bedrooms did not have any dressers/drawers or shelves in the closets to put clothes. No hooks in bathrooms to hang towels. Cleanliness of the floors was very poor.

The house was perfect for our needs! It was extremely clean, each bedroom having it's own bathroom was key for us. The only downside is that the elevator wasn't working although we were made aware of that about a week before our arrival. The management company checked in with me often and was very responsive to any questions. I highly recommend this property.

We really appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for more fun in the sun!

We had an amazing stay at Tropic Like It’s Hot! The house was beautiful, spacious, and perfect for our group of 10. The location couldn’t be better — steps from the beach with a great pool and plenty of space for everyone to relax.Like any rental, a couple of small things came up (the elevator and hot tub), but what impressed us most was how quickly and professionally AMI Locals responded. That level of service is worth more than perfection — it made us feel taken care of and let us truly relax.Travelers should know: you’re in excellent hands here. The property delivers everything you see in the photos and more, and the team behind it goes above and beyond. We left with nothing but great memories and can’t wait to come back!

The house was very nice, backyard and view was even nicer. We had a ton of fun and wish we had stayed longer. Only things to mention would be the elevator not working, didn’t think much at first but it’s 3 stories and with luggage it definitely gets tiresome with how narrow and steep the stairs are. As well, the hot tub we could not get to turn on and when we contacted them about it they responded very promptly saying that someone would be by soon to show us how to use it. However, they showed us how to use it and then later in the night when we attempted to use it, it would not heat up. Other than that with everything working it would be 10/10.

Pros:House is beautifully decorated (as pictured) and kitchen stocked well with plates, bowls, glasses and silverware, pots and pans, spacious high end refrigerator and Henckel knife set. The house provided us with a beach cart, 6 chairs and plenty of beach towels! Plus, the beach is a close 2-3 minute walk! There is a ping pong table in the garage (not pictured).Cons:Dock not as pictured. Only “L” shape in front of house, not the “T” in front of the neighbors house, plus no benches or fish cleaning station. We only caught small fish. Pool is nice; however, the hot tub was not bubbly nor could we get it hot. Helpful things: 1) The house could use some places to hang bath towels in a few of the bathrooms. 2) With a house full of people, an additional washer and dryer upstairs in the space already set up for it would have been nice to have. Overall we had a wonderful time together as a family!

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Brooke! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautifully decorated home, well-stocked kitchen, and all the beach gear for those quick walks to the shore! We appreciate your feedback on the dock, hot tub, and the suggestions, we’ll share those notes with our team. Most importantly, we’re happy you had a wonderful family getaway with AMI Locals, and we’d love to welcome you and your family back again Brooke!

The property was perfect for our group’s needs - we were 12 people and a cooking crowd! The guys fished off the dock, and the girls hit the beach. Everything is within walking distance of the shopping area, beach, coffee and beach bar. The communication with the property management was excellent. Someone called / texted to make sure all was ok at check in - next day or if we needed maintenance. Someone was at the house within 30 minutes to help with what we needed. The views were beautiful for sunrise and sunset. The House is roomy for a group of adults. The pool was a nice place to relax and our group enjoyed the hot tub!

Now that’s a full-on island getaway, Gina! Tropic Like It’s Hot by AMI Locals sounds like it was made for your group from fishing off the dock, beach days, coffee runs, and sunset hangs all in one trip. That mix of space, views, and walkability really makes everything come together. Love that everyone had their own way to enjoy the days, then came back to the pool and hot tub to unwind together, that’s the good stuff. And we appreciate the shoutout on the team too from keeping things easy and jumping in quick when needed is what we’re here for. Come back and do it all again anytime and we’ll be ready for round two!
