This house was in a great location! We could walk everywehre and the trolly station was right outside the door. The only downside is that the dishwasher was broken all week and we had to wash by hand with only 2 wash clothes and 2 dishtowels. And when you had 10 people staying there there was a lot of dishes to wash.

We enjoyed our second stay at Harborside. The location is convenient to all areas of the island. We walked to the beach daily. We had plenty of room to gather while still being able to have some alone time if needed. We hung out at the pool and my oldest grandsons love fishing off the dock. They never caught any fish but enjoyed seeing manatee hanging in the inlet. The home was clean when we arrived. We hope to be back in 2026 or 2027.

The house was perfect for our family vacation! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen stocked, access to the boat lift, beautifully decorated and located close to the beach. thank you for the wonderful stay!!
This house was perfect for our family of 5 adults and 4 kids. Location to the beach was perfect easy walk but would recommend getting a golf cart if you have young kids or elderly adults. For those who bring a boat it does get shallow at the doc. We have a 25' bay bottom boat and at low tide it was questionable of getting off the lift. Overall we loved the Island and the house.

The house was very clean, attractively decorated and well stocked. There were six of us but plenty of room for more. Large rooms and open spaces. Comfortable beds. The outdoor areas including pool were perfect. Plenty of beach supplies provided and the location was close to beach, trolley stop (outside our front door), grocery, Catholic Church, restaurants. No complaints here!

Family Vacation 2024
We took our family for a week to AMI and stayed at Harborside. The house was perfect form my family of 6 adults, 1 9yr old,1 3yr old and 2 babies. Plenty of room and space for everyone. The house was perfect and was equipped with everything we needed. I only have a couple of negative things to share. We checked in at 4:30 and within 20 mins my 9 month old was in her walker and her little feet were black on the bottom which told me the floor had not been mopped. 2 days into our stay the dishwasher went out. Called rental company they sent a maintenance guy out. He checked it out and said it was the dishwasher so the appliance company came the next day to say it needed to be replaced. They stated they would let Florida Dream Realty know. We never heard a word back so the dishwasher DOES NOT work!! I was on vacation and the last thing I wanted to do was wash dishes pretty much the entire time I was there. FDR supposedly has someone to come check the cleanliness of the house BEFORE you check in but whoever checked it missed the floor. It was so nasty and surely needs to be clean before the next family checks in. Also the checkout instructions say to remove all bed linens but not comforters which is also nasty to think they are not washed before the next family checks in. ALL bedding needs to be washed each time it’s rented. With all being said, we did like the place but it needs some attention when it comes to cleanliness.

House is in a wonderful location. Fully stocked kitchen and house is set up for a larger group. The only issue we had was we requested an early check in and was told they would email when the house manager went by to check if house was ready and clean. We checked in about a hr early but the house manager stopped back by to drop off an information notebook on the property and said the house was ready since noon instead of 3 that was disappointing. A few other issues blood on the upstairs linens, couch pillow had some dry blood on it to, and kitchen bathroom smelled of urine after my mother in law mopped it the smell went away.

We have vacationed at AMI for the past 10 years and this was our first rental on a harbor. We thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise and watching the manatee play in the harbor each day and then a quick walk the other direction brought us the sandy beach where we spend the afternoon and evening. The house was well stocked and open for our large group. The kids enjoyed the pool after a day at the beach and we all enjoyed resting on the dock. Thank you for opening your home and allowing us to add to our yearly beach vacation memories.

Rental was great! There was plenty of space for 3 families. Kitchen was very well equipped. Outdoor setup was awesome and screen room was perfect place for morning coffee. House was clean and although bathrooms were older they had a charming beach feel. Manatees were out off the dock the entire week. They would get really close and play. They were so fun to watch and we passed hours out there watching them. They were truly the highlight of the week. Couple more t negatives if you call them that. Upstairs shower was really slippery so we bought a bath mat for the shower because we had someone fall. Also one of the outdoor lounges had a broken wheel. Both very simple fixes. I would definitely stay here again!
