That sounds like an ideal spring break setup, Debra! River House Retreat by AMI Locals is the kind of place where those simple moments really stand out—pool time with the kids during the day and relaxing evenings by the canal afterward. Add in perfect weather and you’ve got a trip everyone will remember. Hope to have you back for another family getaway soon!

We had a great week here. The private pool was perfect, the house was clean, and everything ran smoothly. There were a couple minor “inconveniences”, (bath mats were dirty upon check in, couldn’t find extra blankets, and there was no hot water in one shower the first night), but the host was quick to respond and fix any issues. I would book again!

I wasn't happy with the cleanliness of the pool! There was algae in it. They came over for 10 minutes to rub it off. Then I waited a week and had to call again because it was back and the water was cloudy! It need to be shocked. The second time he worked on it longer and got it looking clear.lost some pool time because of it!!

Thank you for your feedback and for staying at River House Retreat by AMI Locals, Sandy! We’re really sorry for the frustration with the pool during your stay and understand how disappointing it is to lose out on pool time. Our team did respond and worked with our vendor to address it, and we’ve since repaired the pool’s filtration system to ensure it’s running properly moving forward. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention as it helps us make sure future guests can fully enjoy those pool days without interruption. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
