A quick getaway

My husband and I spent 5 nights here. This was a great location to shopping AND the beach. Everything was within walking distance. The villa was clean and decorated tastefully. The pool and common area were very clean as well. Beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon were provided and were a definite bonus. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for Two

This one bedroom duplex was beautiful and great for a couple. We loved having the beach in walking distance. The location is great for going to Anna Maria or Bradenton Beach. We also liked having a grocery store, restaurants and shops in walking distance. The only negative was the unit needed to be a little cleaner especially the floor.

Could use better co among and mgtnof pets

We brought our dogs but we follow the rules. We Kept them on a leash and we picked up after them. Unfortunately that didn’t apply to other guests staying on the property. Our first morning we walked out to the shared pool area to enjoy a cup of coffee and immediately stepped in dog poop. As we went to hose it off we noticed 3 other areas of dog poop throughout the outdoor shared space. Other guests swam all day with their dogs running around loose in the shared space(peeing on everything). It was gross and dirty The other guests were loud and took over the entire area. Very frustrating. We were fine with spending $1260+ for two nights over a holiday weekend BUT felt this location was a big mistake. No one on site to manage the guests and their messes. Also, our unit was a little beat up inside. The walls, , floors and baseboards could use a deep cleaning.

Did not use

We reserved the unit for extra sleeping space during a family vacation. Although we checked it out, no one wanted to use it. It's charming but super small and a little worn. It is very clean and well appointed for its size. Wouldn't use the back area or pool. You are close to the beach and AMI businesses.

Do not stay or rent with AMI locals

This place was absolutely filthy. The floor was black I wish I could post pictures on here the pull out couch was horrible. We had to take cushions from the pool lounge chairs to make sure my children were at least comfortable. We had to leave one night early because they could not stand to sleep on that horrific couch. The tub did not drain properly and we were giving sheets and blankets with bugs in them. Am I locals is a terrible place to rent from we paid over $900 and they only reimbursed us about $200 and change. Not acceptable completely unprofessional. If I were the owners of this unit I would fire AMI locals immediately. Other renters there with other units had nothing but terrible things to say as well saying how dirty their unit was. The poor owner is getting completely ripped off and I would have them go to a completely different management company. Again do not stay at this property or rent from AMI locals. If you go to their Facebook page and look under reviews I left all the pictures of our stay and you can see for yourself how unacceptable it was. It was supposed to be a nice retirement and 50th birthday for my husband. And they ruined it.

Good location, not very clean

First, the property location was absolutely perfect, close to the Publix and Walgreens, CVS, etc. Short, one block walk to the beach was very nice, especially with kids. Property pool was nice, but temp of pool was not very warm and the pool lights and yard lights did not come on until 8pm, so the kids swam in the dark until the lights came on. We called, but the lights were never turned on earlier, so that was disappointing. Upon check in the code that was emailed to me did not work. We called and spoke to the management company and they were very helpful. Got inside and of course everyone had to go to the bathroom right away after a day of travel, but the toilet didn't have any water in it. My husband tried turning the water on, but it wouldn't fill. Again, called the management company and they sent someone within 30 minutes. The bathroom also was very poorly cleaned, lots of nasty stains on the floor around the toilet and behind the toilet, hair in the sink. The first time we hung a towel on the towel rack the rack fell. The mugs in the kitchen still had coffee inside and outside on them. Overall, for what we paid per night, was not impressed and would not stay here again. The company was responsive, the location great, I will give them that, but cannot recommend this property.

Super attractive cottage - easy walk to the beach.

Super attractive cottage style property with an easy walk to the beach. Very well maintained and comfortable. The only suggestion would be a larger garbage can in the kitchen. This was due to take-away containers due to COVID. Normally that wouldn't have been an issue. Awesome property, you'll love it!

Loved it!

We booked this place last minute, the rentals company communication was great and the process smooth. The place was nice and clean. Perfect location, a couple of min walk to the beach. The only negative was that there is no closet space to put your clothes, so the suitcases were out in the living room the whole stay. However other than that we loved it and would definitely come back!

Great property in a great location

Property was great. We had an issue up front with the AC not working and since we had our dog with us there wasn't another place for us to stay while they fixed it that was dog friendly. But, property management found us a place for the night and then we had to move to another place for the remainder of our stay. We ended up getting a much larger property than what we had paid for. They did a good job turning a big negative experience into a positive one and would recommend their properties to anyone in the future.

This is a great property and easy people to work with. It's a real shame the towns in the area are so against dogs on the beach. We made the best of it, despite the endless rain (bad luck for us), but the restaurants are super and the location was awesome.

Pleasant Stay

Great property and location. Walking distance to Publix, beaches and local restaurants. Only thing to be mindful of is the unit I was in had limited storage capacity for clothes and dry foods. Other then that, the property manager was very good and quick to responds. The property was very clean.
