Wonderful stay on AMI, with the beach right across the street.

A well-appointed condo that was very clean and comfortable. We loved how quiet it was and how easy it was to walk to the beach.

We dealt with A Shore Thing Vacations while there. Our A/C went out and they responded very quickly. We were satisfied with service and we really enjoyed the Condo. We had one problem on the morning we were leaving. We had left a bunch of bananas on the kitchen counter the night before. Some thing took several bites out of the bananas and left a mess on the counter.They were renovating the apartment below and I suspect they might have a vermin problem.i should have taken a picture but we had to get to the airport.

Location was perfect! A few things were broke upon arrival; bedroom blinds, curtains didn’t cover windows and multiple bees nest outside of screen area on porch. This did not help under our trip just worth noting to be fixed. Was difficult to plan for our family as reality company was unaware of what the apartment had. For families planning: tons of beach equipment which was perfect! Had everything and more for a family going to the beach. Some things to consider: extra blankets. Only 1 blanket per bed and no spare sheets etc. was difficult to families staying for a week or longer. Also the beds are extremely firm and not very comfortable. Overall, a great complex and location as I mentioned and the place was as described.
