A nice family getaway despite hurricane aftermath
This house was perfect for our family of 13 which included 7 adults and 6 children, ages 8-13. We were nervous about the condition of the home since we arrived only a month and a half after the two hurricanes hit the island. The homeowner was there when we arrived and she was doing last minute preparations to ensure our stay was great which was very much appreciated. We had a couple of issues with the home during our stay which were addressed almost immediately. The house was spacious and our family thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool and slide as well as the pool table and ping pong table. There is no sun on the pool for those who are sun lovers. The house is one block from the beach and a short walking distance to shops. We stayed at this home 8 years ago and appreciated some of the updates they made to the floors, kitchen and bathrooms since our last stay. Overall we would recommend this house and thought the homeowner was very responsive to our needs and requests.

Family Beach Vacation
This house was well represented on the VRBO website. Descriptions were accurate and included a nice amount of beach gear. Nice property and easy beach access. We were disappointed with the inconsistency of the pool temp, and after walking around our "Clean" floors the first day, our feet were literally black. If you rent with this company, prepare to bring EVERytHING!! There was not a coffee filter or Kleenex to be had.

We enjoyed our stay. Everyone felt like they had there own space and had enough privacy. Loved the backyard. The slide was tons of fun. Had a little problem with pool cleanliness, called and it was promptly taken care of. Some problems with the hot tub heating up. All in all we had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this house again!

Fantastic location and a Good Accommodation
The property was very spacious and exceptionally well decorated for the area. All of the beds in the many bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. We did need to clean the floors upon arrival as it appeared there was some sticky substance on them. The pool also had quite a bit of debris in it on the bottom as well as the surface. It had just rained the night before so that was understandable and not an issue as they had a skimmer available. We also needed to call the property manager, AMI Rentals, about a couple of issues. The property advertised 2 hot tubs or spas. Only one of the spas was operational. The hot tub on the roof deck was full of moss and smelled. There were also empty cans on the roof deck as well so clearly not taken care of by the cleaning crew. The first evening we were unable to heat the spillover spa adjacent to the pool. I placed a call to AMI the next morning and they were out within the hour to fix it. They did tell us, however, that they would not help with the rooftop hot tub as they do not recommend them...If that is the case...remove it from the listing and/or let people know that it is not operational. The kitchen could have used some of the basics. For the price of this rental, more than a couple of garbage bags, tide pods and dishwasher pods would have been a plus. I understand the lack of coffee/water/spices due to the Covid issues. The area had everything that you could want and we all had a fabulous time. We would rent this house again.

Great House, Cold Pool
Perfect amount house for our family of 14 (7 adults, 7 kids). We had problems getting everyone through the showers with hot water...only seemed to be enough for one or two showers then we'd have to wait. Speaking of hot water...we didn't seem to have any in the pool or downstairs hot tub. We called it in and someone came to look at it and "fixed it" at one point but never got warm which was a huge disappointment...only the 7-11 year old kids played in there for awhile. The adults and little kids were out of luck. Also worth mentioning is the tiki bar part of the pool creates a big blind spot if you're trying to keep an eye on the kids swimming from the upper levels. But it's a great location if you're looking to be in Holmes Beach. The property was clean and we were pleasantly surprised to find some extra amenities: plenty of cooking tools in the kitchen plus a wagon, popup tent and some beach toys in the garage were some highlights. We would absolutely return if only we knew we could count on a warmer pool.

Great family vacation spot!
This was our second time staying on AMI and rented through AMI Locals. The first time we stayed on the northern part of the island and this time, tried a different area. This house was perfect for us (6 adults and 6 kids). The rooms were all very nice, with king beds and bunks for the kids. Tons of bathrooms. Having laundry both upstairs and downstairs was so helpful! The pool area was amazing for the kids, with the slide and shallow area for the little ones. Having two hot tubs was an added bonus! It is important to know the backyard has a lot of trees and shade, so for the little ones it was great (less sunburns) but if you’re a sun worshipper you might not be happy. Overall the house is awesome and it’s close to beach, restaurants and ice cream! AMI Locals was very responsive to any requests we had and very pleasant to deal with.

Awesome Family Vacation
This was the perfect house for a big family. Each of our 5 children and their spouses had their own bedroom and there were two bedrooms for the grandchildren. They had a blast on the bunk beds! Easy access to the beach (about a 5 minute walk) whether you are going for a couple hours to play in the water or for a couple minutes to watch the sunset. Very convenient to other places on the island. The pool was perfect for relaxing and playing. Everyone (adults and children) had a great time going down the slide or jumping off the rock feature. The hot tubs were awesome! The house had plenty of space and the large kitchen table was perfect for eating as well as playing games. The living area was very comfortable. Everything worked well (including the AC) and we had no mechanical problems. Only suggestion would be to provide more kitchen amenities i.e. dishwasher soap, garbage bags, etc. Not very expensive and would provide a huge convenience. Check-in and check-out process was automated and very easy. Lisa (the property manager) was very helpful to answer questions and provide access to companies from whom we rented beach toys and baby items (crib, wagon, high chair, etc.) so we had them upon arrival. She was very responsive by email and phone when we had questions, mostly pre-arrival. We had a great time!!

Very nice
We enjoyed our stay because it is always special when the family is able to get together. We only had a few issues with the house which we reported. The bunk beds seemed to be very unstable, fire alarms beeping constantly and very low water pressure on top floor along with a bed that made a lot of noise with each move but overall it was perfect for 14 people. We did not report the low water pressure since it really was not a major issue. We have been renting homes over Christmas for the last 14 years and there are almost always some issues with rental properties but if the property manager is on top of everything it always works out. Thank you Ashley for a timely response to our concerns.

Fantastic Family Getaway
Our large extended family stayed for a week. The house is as beautiful as the pictures show. It is well taken care of, very clean, and stocked with everything you need. Ashley was fantastic answering all of our questions and helping with whatever we needed. While we were there one bathroom lost all power. We called Ashley she had a matanece person over quickly, he discovered it was an electrical problem and had an electrician over to fix it quick. The issue that could have taken days to fix was repaired in just a few hours and was no work for us. The backyard pool space is a paradise for kids and adults. This is a beautiful rental and the perfect getaway for any large family or group.
