The unit was very comfortable, clean and visually appealing inside and out. We have been visiting AMI yearly for the last seven years, and this was overall the nicest place we have stayed. Nearly everything we could have wanted was provided. We loved the private pool area as well.

We stay in your lovely home to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was such a special place to stay everything was just perfect and we would come back and stay again. My only suggestions would be to please get better sheets because they were quite itchy so we watched them a couple times to get them softer and you really need something to hang the towels on in the bathroom other than that the place was perfect thank you for a perfect vacation.

Great stay and host!

We had such an amazing stay here. The location was perfectly centralized to Anna Maria and just enough room for our family of 3. The host, Maria, was amazing! We had an issue with the ceiling fan and she made sure to have the whole fan replaced within a day. Can’t say enough good things about our trip to Anna at this location!

So lovely!

This was our second time staying at this lovely little property. It was in remarkable condition after enduring 2 hurricanes since our last visit. All new, not a trace of damage that we could see. We can not say enough about the peaceful, quiet and lovely back yard. A small pool, plenty of seating. We look forward to returning next year.

Cant wait to go back!

The house was so cute and close to everywhere we needed to go. Everything is within minutes from the house. The pickle ball courts were at the end of the street if you’re interested in pickle ball. People from different parts of the country were there playing. The house had everything you needed for a short or long stay. I wish I could live there! It’s just so cute :-)

Fabulous rental

If Maria was going for immaculate, adorable, relaxing, and fully equipped, she nailed it! Wonderfully comfortable 1 bedroom with a spectacular little private pool. All of the appliances are new, the kitchen is very well equipped, the furniture is clean and nice. I had one very minor issue — contacted Maria and she got back to me within minutes. Thank you, Maria for sharing this great vacation home!

Our 2nd family trip to AMI and we absolutely loved the location of this place! Definitely rent a golf cart as it makes life so much simpler to get around OR ride the bikes! It was so nice to have a great place to stay at, on the island, and close to anything we could want or need. The pull out sofa bed is actually really nice, it was perfect for our 8year old son. The bed in the main room was comfortable, the washer/dryer are a wonderful plus, AMAZING shower, and we had a nice relaxing evening every night by the pool to unwind and watch the stars. The place is a duplex so keep that in mind. But when we come back and need a little, tucked away from the hustle and bustle and louder areas of the island we will definitely like to return here. This house and location is so peaceful and perfect. You’ll love it.

Awesome!!!

We have stayed all over the world and this home was by far the best. The home was exactly how it was advertised. Very clean and everything you need. Close to the beach and the pool is a fantastic plus!!!! The backyard was perfect. The outdoor shower was another plus. Maria was a sweetheart to deal with. The grill was clean and worked. (We have had other rentals where things did not work) The bed is very comfortable. Everything from the appliances to the lovely bathroom, all the furnishings, TV’s, were perfect. You can tell Maria really put a lot into this place. We will absolutely be back and will stay longer. Thank you Maria!
