AMI Beach Trip
This property is exactly as described. It is clean, has all the comforts of home, and is steps away from the gorgeous beach. We will definitely be booking this property again!

Charming apartment in great location
Apartment was exceptionally clean. There was not a grain of sand on the floor when we got there. Kitchen is well-equipped. Lots of towels and beach towels provided. Beach chairs and umbrellas were at property, but we didn’t use them since we brought our own. They looked to be in very good condition though. Loved the short walk to the beach! Pool was very nice and never crowded since there are so few apts. in the complex. Easy communication with host. Unlike other places that we’ve stayed, this place didn’t require us to basically clean the apt. before we left. We will definitely stay again!

Always a great spot
This was my second time staying in Palm Cay. One of my favorite aspects of this unit is the balcony, which is a great spot to drink your morning coffee, listen to the birds, and people-watch. Super convenient to so much: one block (more like half a block) to the beach, an easy walk to several good shopping strips (Walgreens, liquor store, beach supplies, Ace hardware store, ice cream, restaurants) and to the Publix supermarket. We had rented a car, which I might skip next time and just use the free trolley service instead. Always a great time at this location.

Wonderful stay
Palm cay is a beautiful property that is well maintained. We stayed in Unit 8 on the second floor. It was clean, nicely decorated with eclectic art and furniture, and a well appointed kitchen. Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas were available, which is a huge plus. James, the owner, was in communication and checking was easy. We enjoyed our stay!

Return Destination
We love this property and have been coming for a few years. It’s welcoming. It’s immaculate inside and out, along with a pool, laundry and the friendliest neighbors.There’s parking or use of trolley, the beach is a 1/2 block away, shopping and restaurants nearby. Every time we come we find something new and amazing. Stay here and leave room for us, because we’re coming back.

Amazing!
We were there attending my grandson's destination wedding. The condo was perfect for me, my 14 year old granddaughter and daughter in law! One very short block from the beautiful beach! Everything you can possibly need was included at the condo. We did rent a golf cart to get around as the area was all residential and most restaurants were further north. We did take the free trolley to a restaurant the first night but the driver let us off after we told him where we were going only to find out it had closed. Since I fractured my knee I had a walker. That's when we knew we needed the golf cart. But the island is amazing, restaurants were great but expensive & since we had all those spices and condiments we cooked 2 nights while there. It was well worth the money & we enjoyed our stay very much. James Ferguson was easy to contact & responded quickly, & his housekeeper, Jennifer, did an excellent job of keeping the condo clean. The smoke detector chirped one night and she was there within 2 hours of calling. All in all we had a fantastic time! Would definitely stay again!

Perfect for us!!
We loved this place. It was just the perfect size for us, very clean, with good counter space in both bath and kitchen. Location was excellent. We were concerned bed might be too soft, but it was just fine, and the ceiling fans were awesome and the quietest in the history of the world, haha. Thank you, we'll be back!

Great location
The location is great. We have stayed on other parts of the island, eight or more times. We really appreciated the convenience to the main shopping plaza with Publix, Dunkin Donuts and a variety of restaurants. The condo has been renovated at some point and the attention to detail from floor to ceiling is well done. The short walk to the sand is nothing and having a trolley stop is worth a lot.

This was the perfect place for my little family in AMI. The owner is so kind and made my stay easy and hassle free. You are literally 20 steps from the beach, I got married in AMI 3 years ago and came back and decided to stay here and it did NOT disappoint. I 10/10 recommend this rental, and I will be back.

Loved our stay here!
We just returned from 4 nights at this charming apartment by the beach with our 2 young children. My 5 year old son was asking if we could move here. :) The apartment is clean, bright, and has all the basics to enjoy your stay. The best thing about it is the perfect location to the beach! Literally just a 45 sec walk down the street to the beach. We also loved the pool. Would highly recommend for families. The spacious bathroom was thoroughly appreciated! We also appreciated the beach umbrellas and pool toys they provided. Just a few suggestions would be to perhaps add a folding wagon, replace 2 of the nonstick pots in the kitchen that have scratched bottoms, and either remove or replace the extra umbrellas with broken poles. And we couldn’t find a dust pan or extra garbage bags for the kitchen. Overall we loved our stay and will be back! Tip for families: make dinner reservations as restaurants tend to be small and get filled up fast.
