We have an absolutely amazing stay at the house. The location is perfect, close to everything but off the main strip. The canal is very calm and great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The house was completely equipped with everything you could possibly need!! The size is great and allows for privacy for everyone.

We stayed for a week. This our 5th time to AMI but our first at this house. Overall this was the best house we have stayed at. It was well stocked for 5 people. The layout was great with each bedroom having its own bath and a nice patio are off the family room and above the pool level.

The Bateman’s house was absolutely perfect for our party of 8. It’s located on a great part of the island - quiet but everything you need within walking distance or a quick trip on the golf cart. The house was well stocked with plenty to do for the whole family. We will certainly be returning!

Thanks so much Barbara! We agree this home has great living space but what is special about this home is that each bedroom is almost its own little oasis with en-suite baths and comfy beds! The kitchen was stocked by a chef I think! Please come stay with us again!

Home was perfect for us. My son could fish off dock and we were super close to beach. Just make a left and take gladiolus all the way down and there is a beach entry. House had beach chairs and cart which came in handy. House also had an elevator which was great for my mom. Nice open family space and add Instacart and golf cart drop off. Things could not be more convenient

Vacations shouldn't be stressful! So we know it's incredible when you don't have to worry about much. Thank you so much for staying with us and do come see us again!
I know that it is difficult to pick a vacation house just through pictures. You should not worry about this house. The pictures represent the house perfectly. There is plenty of space for everyone. Whether you are using the over sized kitchen that has everything we needed, or down by the pool. This house exudes luxury and quality.

We can't agree more this home truly is the definition of LUXURY! The owners have put so many thoughtful details into the home to make sure every guest has a 5 star stay!
This home is beautifully decorated and amazingly outfitted. Each of 4 bedrooms have their own well appointed bathrooms. The kitchen is a cook’s kitchen fully outfitted. Outside the pool area is versatile with football & ping pong tables, an outdoor shower and even has very comfortable lounge chairs. Additionally, there’s a seating area in the shade with a fancy fireplace feature. And finally there is an outdoor dining table. Oh and a super giant TV in the main living room. And a dock. And it’s in a quiet neighborhood and lots lots more.
