Perfect!
The house was perfect for our family of 4. Everything felt new and clean as if we were the first people to stay in the home. Pool was a bonus as was the location to the beach. We’d stay again!

Great stay!
This was our first time in AMI. We had a great time! The property was clean and very accommodating. It was an easy 5 min walk to the beach. I liked having a more private pool area. Jenn, the property manager, was great! We will be back!

Accurately listed and well maintained
Home was well appointed. Check in was smooth and on time, unit was clean and ready for us. Had a scenario where one of the kids accidentally locked us out and property manager was there within 10 minutes to resolve. Enjoyed our time and would rent again
