We stayed in AMI Retreat for two weeks over the holidays. We were a family of 4-- two parents and two teens, plus our 7lb maltipoo. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out, and the kids loved taking over the upstairs level. The beach access is incredibly convenient, particularly if you want to sneak over for a quick visit to watch the sunset before/after dinner. We also liked the layout of the pool area, especially the shallow "shelf" where you can sit in a chair with your feet in the water. We also appreciate the owners offering a dog-friendly rental. Just a few minor suggestions to other guests: (1) while the kitchen is well-equipped, there were no large frying pans in the house. If you plan to cook breakfast for a larger group, you might want to bring one with you; (2) the house was a little dark in the evenings. If you like to read in bed, you might want to bring your own reading lamp, as there was only one lamp in the two king bedrooms, and none in the smaller orange bedroom; (3) the TV in the main level is an older model flatscreen (i.e., no built-in internet connection) with only has 1 accessible HDMI port. Thankfully, we brought our own Roku, but we had to unplug the cord from the cable box and connect to the Roku anytime we wanted to watch a movie. Finally, I would just note that the photos on the Anna Maria Life website are a little outdated. The orange bedroom has a queen bed (no bunk beds) and the back deck has been renovated to replace the pergola with an umbrella table. Overall a great house though, and a terrific value compared to other more expensive options on the island. We would definitely come back!
