Excellent location, close to the beach, stores, and restaurants. Wasn't as clean as it should be. There were spots around beds, that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. House was as advertised. Very nice for 2 couples and a small baby as we had. Pool was nice, although it needed some cleaning too. Overall, a very nice stay.

Perfect location
Spent 4 nights here with our toddlers. Wonderful location, 60 second walk to the beach. Was also nice that there was a playground 2 blocks away. Pool was lovely after the beach and beds were comfortable. My only suggestion is the couch and couch pillows are a bit warm out. Might because they permit pets.

Tiny paradise
I can't say enough good things about this little place. It was the perfect size for myself and three kids (two adult, one ten year old). We loved the private heated pool/oasis outback. It had everything we needed. Just a quick two minute walk and we were on the beach. Great location, nice and quite. Also, just a quick drive to Bridge Street or the Publix if we needed anything. This was our first time to AMI and it did not disappoint! The property manager was quick to respond with the one little matter that needed attention. We 💯 recommend this place and we will definitely be back!

Amazing and so relaxing
Very cozy and inviting. We were so close to the beach, but what we loved most was the pool and privacy of our own space. Oh and what a fun and pleasant surprise it was the 4th of July parade with all the water guns. Lol we are coming back next year prepared for battle. We had such a great time, thank you so much. Warm Regards The Castellanos family.

Sun and Fun
Property was very nice and well appointed. Did not use grill on patio due to propane tank being left on and grill being very dirty. This did not affect our overall stay. Just needs to be put on a checklist as that could have been a very dangerous situation.

Perfect getaway, had everything
This unique property was perfect for the two of us. It was immaculately clean. It was generously stocked with plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, towels, beach towels, cooler, floaties, beach chairs, etc. We enjoyed floating in the 4 foot pool. We enjoyed the location, which is right across from the beautiful beach. Walking distance to Salt restaurant. We enjoyed the keyless entry. The property management was very responsive and very accomodating. This is our 3rd trip to AMI and our favorite rental.

Cozy beach cottage!
Love this property! Cute cottage, clean, everything you could ask for is provided. Very comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, wonderful heated pool. Literally 3 minute walk to a beautiful private beach. Tons of beach chairs, cooler, and even a beach wagon to transport everything at the house. The beach was not crowded, was beautiful, had the best sunsets we’ve ever seen, tons of shells, and some great fishing from the shore. My college aged son caught several bonnet head sharks right from the shoreline. Communication was great throughout, our two small schnauzers were welcomed in the cottage, and we had the best time! I highly recommend this property and we will be back. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

I found this VRBO’s last minute. Loved that it had its own pool. It was cute and simple. Good size for my Mom, daughter and I. Close to everything. We spent time on all the islands which we loved. Jen the property manager was great! My only complaint is that the pool was at 71 the entire time, so we were never able to swim. The people in the other half of the duplex said theirs was at 90. We would totally come back to these islands.

Our own tropical oasis
We loved our stay at the Bayberry Cottage! It was exactly what we were looking for: clean, a very short walk to the beach, and with our own little oasis in the back yard! The cottage is a duplex, but each side has its own little heated pool (about 10’ x 18’) in a fenced yard for privacy with tropical palms and bamboo. It was so relaxing! The owners were extremely quick to respond to any communication and very friendly. The cottage is at street level, so no stairs. Decor was beach themed and nicely done. Kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
