Fantastic place. Little things that make a big difference: nice, big beach towels, big quality beach umbrella, plenty of USB and outlets in multiple places, pool loungers. The items were the type you’d want, not just checking the box that they exist. Really lovely place & plan to return!

This was our first trip back to AMI since 2019 and it did not disappoint. We are a family of 3 — mom, dad and 14-year-old daughter. The house was absolutely perfect for us. The listing photos don’t do it justice. We spent a lot of time reading on the lanai while our daughter sunned by and in the pool. The pool was clean and the temperature was just right. We took advantage of the provided beach chairs and umbrellas and had an easy 2-block walk to the beach. So many people rented golf carts to get around but our location allowed us to do everything we wanted to do (beach, eat, ice cream, repeat) within a short walk. We only used the car to make a trip to Publix off island. The house was very clean and well-appointed. We prepared most of our meals at the house and took advantage of the gas grill. All of the houses around us (except the one currently under renovation) were occupied but noise was never an issue. We can’t wait to go back and would definitely choose this property again.
