It was so wonderful to watch the sunrise in the morning from the dock. Seeing all the different fish around the dock and having the pelicans greet us each morning. The house was warm and inviting. It was a great home base and had all the essentials you need. The beach was a short 4-5 minute walk away. The house came with beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart so it made the short walk even easier. The beach itself is beautiful with crystal clear water. We enjoyed the many restaurants nearby. It was a wonderful vacation and will miss it very much.

We wanted a private vacation with a private place for the guys to fish and multiple options for girls to hit the beach. This was the perfect place for us. The house was a home away from home. We were able to cook and grill. The host provided all of the utensils needed..They also provided some seasonings. The island has beautiful views and we were only a few minutes away from a Publix and Walgreens. The restaurants and shops were great. Our favorite restaurant was Tide tables. We will plan to stay here again.

Beautiful location
The location of this property my was amazing, loved having our own dock with the sitting area, so nice to sit out and relax with a glass of wine after dinner. Quick walk to the Gulf and close to Bridge Street and the Kokonut Hut. House was exactly as pictured/described, well equipped with everything we needed and bed was comfortable. Property manager was very accessible when we had a question. Would definitely stay again!

Great location directly on the water and not stuck in the center of tourists! The home was beautiful, and filled with many things (like photos, local art, and awesome recommendations) that show it is a family home not just another investor flip! I was able to relax when needed but also have my friends over to eat, drink, and celebrate our lifelong friendships. I would look forward to booking another trip to the island in the future.

Bonus days
I felt things were reflective of what was advertised. We had a great time. The house was wonderful. It was nice to spend evenings watching the full moon come up over the water on the dock. It was beautiful! The one thing I could say is their were amenities such as kayaks and bikes and paddle boards. I didn’t feel the information on how to access these things was straightforward. I may have missed something but to me also could of been a bit more obvious for ease. But overall was a great couple days at a great place.

Great Family vacation property.
My family enjoyed this property so much. Great location and the private dock was perfect for our fishing adventures. We enjoyed many meals at the kitchen table enjoying the sunrise and watching the boats. My son really loved that you can see the Sky way bridge change colors at night. This home exceeded our expectations. We look forward to staying at this property in the future.

Fantastic!!!
We spent 6 days with our kids here, it was the first family vacation we’ve taken in two years and it did not disappoint! The house was perfect, the location was perfect, and we had a fantastic experience!!!! We would highly recommend staying at this house! The beds were super comfortable and we had a space for everyone to unwind and sleep which is super important when you have a 22 year old daughter and a 17 year old son who need to get away from each other sometimes 😂.

Really fantastic location. House had beach gear (chairs, umbrella, wagon) but we had rent equipment which was delivered to the house. 3 very short blocks to beach. 3-5 min. Very easy if you forgot anything. We did laundry and cooked dinner. Everything fully equipped and wonderful. Dock was great for sunrises and dolphin sighting. We ate dinners on the screened in porch and played cards in the evening. It was cool since it was the east side. Shower water pressure was awesome. Beds comfortable. Really a perfect place to spend a week. Would definitely come back for family vacation.

Perfect location for a family getaway.
The location of this house is perfect! Enjoy a cup of coffee on the dock and watch the sunrise as dolphins and fish swim around. The beach is a quick walk away and sunsets can end your day. For walkers, there is a small nature trail not far away and you can even walk into the Holmes Beach area for a great surf shop or pancakes on the beach. The house is cozy and well stocked and is great for families. Communication from AMI properties is also great and efficient!
