It’s conveniently located near the main gathering areas while still feeling tucked away. Bedroom 4: At the very back of the home, the second king ensuite bedroom enjoys an ultra-private location, with an updated bathroom that includes a walk-in shower and laundry.
If you need even more room, the 5th bedroom with two queen beds is available by booking the full-home configuration called Saltwater Bliss.
Relax, dine, and lounge your way through vacation with a huge private pool, poolside tiki bar, screened-in lanai, and plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and beach gear to make your stay easy and carefree.

Place was great for an extended family of 10. Plenty of room for everyone. House was very clean and just as described. Short 6 minute walk to a beautiful beach. We saw manatee and a Loggerhead Sea Turtle hatchling. Walked down to see the beautiful gulf coast sunset at night. Pool was clean and refreshing for a dip after being at the beach or at night. Would definitely look to stay here for our next trip to AMI.

We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at the AMI Beach Fun. We hope you and your family can visit us again.
We loved everything about the house and location. The pool was the perfect hangout spot after spending the day on the beach. Very short walk to the beach and also close enough to walk to most of the restaurants and the ice cream shop!!

Had a great time! Excellent location on a quiet street, as advertised. Plenty of beach chairs and pool floats for a group of 10. We'd definitely stay here again.
Wonderful setting, very spacious and accommodating. Beach access was great once we figured out where it was. Everything was as advertised, if not better.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at our property and hope you can come stay with us again!
We liked the location, walking distance to the beach and shopping. We are a family of 12 (6 grandchildren), the bedroom layout was nice for three families and the children really enjoyed the pool, most could wade and made it nice for playing.
We loved staying here! The home was well-appointed, spacious, very clean, and comfortable. It was in a convenient location that allowed us to enjoy the beach and the entire island (via trolley, bike, and on foot). The pool and outdoor space was awesome!
