It was absolutely amazing for our entire family. We had all three kids and there kids. We like having the kitchen down stairs while we cooked out. It was close enough to walk to the beach and set up for the day. Bring a cart to move your beach stuff back and forth. It will help. We kept our boat at a friend’s house for our stay which made it nice to fish our go to dinner on the boat. We had a small WiFi issue and they responded right away and had it fixed for us ASAP. Plenty of room for all 7 of us! Thank you for allowing my family to make memories with your beautiful home. We will forever cherish the memories we made.

You cannot beat this location! Perfect house for small children as well, the kids loved the pool and and house was very clean. The short walk to the beach was perfect and seemed a lot quieter than other spots on the beach. Would definitely recommend!

It is a beautiful house, just a short walk to the beach. Swimming pool is great with shade for kids. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to spread out and take naps. Beautiful back porch for relaxing and cooking on the grill. Great place to stay.

Great Location & Beautiful Home
I have to say …l have stayed in beautiful homes throughout my VRBO journey and this one although the location was fabulous and it’s a nice home it was not PRACTICAL and FUNCTIONAL at all! No closets for us girlies to hang or dresses, no pantry to put all of our Costco food and the lower level, where the pool was had no outdoor sitting enough for the capacity of house just a high table with 4 chairs! Hello… that’s were you spend most of the time and we had to drag chairs and separate party to have a table to eat outside. They have a nice outdoor sitting area in the upper level that no one used and could have been handy if it was in the pool area! Tiles around pool …very dangerous since they are broken all around. Border of pool, the tiles are sharp cuts and not smooth. So have to be very careful with the kids. Water at night shuts down…. So no going to the bathroom after mid night. The up and down with food and sitting arrangements were just not practical. Management was good although never got to fix the paper toilet holder so picked up toilet paper from floor all week. Other than those couple of details that did annoyed myself house had a good location! So if that is something YOU can live through the house is ok! Thank you AMI locals!

Last Minute Family Getaway
This was the perfect space for a last minute getaway with our family. The house and property were immaculate, exactly as pictured and described. The check-in and check-out process quick and efficient. We never needed to reach out to management but they made it clear they were available if needed. The house was well stocked with all the essentials (could use a kitchen cutting board and oven mitts) but overall we had everything we needed. People had made comments about not being kid friendly but our 2.5 yr old twins loved staying here, they had a blast using the pool and outdoor shower. We were worried about the door alarms but found them easy to manage and not disruptive. Having little kids, the door alarms gave us peace of mind. We love the location of the house! A short walk to the beach and a quick bike ride to shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and people we encountered were all very friendly. Will definitely return!

Great house and close to the beach.
What a great home for a week. Very nicely updated and two kitchens. Just a few houses away from beach access and the pool was very nice in the evenings as well. A lot of outside entertaining areas to use. For people capable of walking it is walking distance to several restaurants. If you are not real mobile rent a golf cart. You can travel to Holmes Beach area to explore as well.

Beautiful rental home.. be careful of pool
We absolutely loved this rental house. It was beautiful. Bed were very comfortable, linen was comfortable. Provided lots of towels, beach chairs, a wagon and umbrella. They did not provide a cooler... which kind of bummed me out. Awesome short walk to the beach. The downfalls I didn't love were: the couch in the living room was pretty uncomfortable at times to relax on, and not enough room for 6 of us to sit on and watch a movie in the evenings. Could definitely use more living room seating. The pool walls/floors are made of rock which was rough on the kids skin... many many scratches and scrapes on kids feet and limbs but they still enjoyed the pool. My sons foot was scraped up pretty good the entire trip on all toes. So be careful swimming.... the bedroom upstairs and the bunk bedroom have no door- meaning no privacy. Which pictures didn't show. The alarm system was a bit extreme and loud but we got used to it after a while. Just cannot leave the door open longer than 5 seconds... Very close walk to restaurants and shops leading to Pine Ave. All in all- we had a great time.

Paradise
Blue Crush was everything advertised and much more. Only 1/2 block from the beach and within walking distance to most of the restaurants. The house was immaculate and spacious. Even in February - the pool was warm. The backyard is a paradise of its own. We'll definitely be back.

Great property but not very toddler friendly
We loved this property and location. It is beautiful and the location is perfect. We rented baby gates from ABC rentals for the stairs and because of the design of the metal cable railing, you can’t keep baby gates in place. In addition, the master bedroom upstairs doesn’t have a door (you share a hallway with the bunk beds and can only block off the wing so you have zero privacy from whatever children (or adults) that are staying in the bunk bed room. Other minor inconveniences were the wagons broken and the umbrellas for the beach. Also, rugs would be nice by the back door because the floors get VERY slippery. Nonetheless, great property and location but unfortunately probably won’t stay again because of the lack of toddler friendliness.

Excellent location right by the beach and beautiful home and pool. The only recommendation would be an indoor table besides the kitchen island -and a sofa with a back for comfort. Seating was a bit awkward at times.

THE BEST!
We loved this home! Just a 2 minute walk to the beach plus separate living quarters on the two levels. Our older kids were able to have their own space downstairs while the parents and younger kids had plenty of space upstairs. AMI locals made everything so simple from check in, to check out and making sure we were stocked with chairs, umbrellas, etc... I don't have a single complaint! I HIGHLY recommend!

***LOVE***
Such a cute house! When we pulled up I was immediately in love... The outside is so cute ( I love the blue!)! There are so many porch and deck areas to sit and enjoy every different time of the day. I would get up and enjoy my morning coffee on the front deck and enjoy the sunset from back deck while I watched the kids play in the pool. The house has a great layout with a kitchen both upstairs and downstairs by the pool. We kept all of our snack and kid drinks downstairs so they could access easily and not have to drip through the house every time they wanted something. Beach access was very easy from this house. The management company provided beach chairs and a wagon, so we loaded our stuff up and it was a short, quick walk to the beach that was right at the end of our street (and we didn't have to cross any main roads, which we have had to do at other houses we rented in the past). Really, really loved this house and would go back every weekend if I could!
