The property was very nice for the two of us. Unfortunately weather was awful and outdoor pool and amenities went unused. 15 stairs up and down should be a consideration for older folks!
This property is exactly as depicted in its listing; clean, comfortable, quiet neighborhood, short walk to the beach.The island is lovely even as they are still in recovery from the recent hurricane. However, do expect heavy traffic, especially during peak times. The beaches are absolutely beautiful! The property manager is very friendly, engaged and helpful. We will be booking this one again!
Itâs very rare that a place is nicer than it looks online, but this place is amazing! My family had the best time swimming at the pool after a day at the beach and a few days we just stayed at the house and relaxed. Couldnât ask for a better place or better host!
We loved staying here. The home os so beautiful, comfortable and the rooms are big. Cathy is very nice and is always helpful when you have questions. She made our stay wonderful. We love the backyard and the pool. It was the best vacation. Thanks!!
We had a great time at this property. Everything you need for your trip is here. Great location. The outdoor area is wonderful. We would love to come back sometime.
My husband and I had a great time in AMI and staying at Island Vibe 2 Everything that we needed was at our fingertips. They even had shampoo/ conditioner and body wash. Everything that you needed for the short walk to the beautiful beach was provided as well. The pool area was a great place to relax and being pet friendly was a plus for us and our dachshunds. It was in a great location on the island. Close to shopping, the, beach and local restaurants.. we will be back!
We stayed in AMI after Christmas, NYE, and into January for a total of 10 days.
This was a wonderful rental home for friends & family. We loved the outdoor area, clean bathrooms, comfy beds, and larger sized kitchen. The owner/ managers were easy to work with, had great communication, and our check in/out was simple. We had a wonderful time!
We would rent this property again!
The house was great, clean, and very well-stocked. It had everything we needed, including a lot of little things that many vacation rentals lack and that people often forget to bring (like hand soap in the bathrooms and kitchen trash bags). There were also a lot of beach supplies and a cart for taking everything down to the water. It's in a quiet neighborhood, and the beach is about 6-8 minutes walk. Our host was very responsive and friendly. We'll definitely stay here again!
If I am honest, I am tempted to give this place 1 star simply because I want it always available to me!! But I cannot be selfish and have to say that this place was amazing!!! Stay here!!! It was clean and furnished so well! Gorgeous! The beds where so comfortable! They had everything we needed even down to the shampoo, conditioner and body wash!! They had beach towels and beach chairs with an umbrella and canopy! The pool area and patio with couches and tv where perfect! And the fact that they allowed us to bring our fur babies just topped it all off! What a wonderful week! We will be back as many times as we can go!!
This home is beautiful!!! Clean inside and out. This home is perfect for family. It had everything you would need. Sara has ALL the beach gear you would need!! Just bring a towel and you are set. We had a wonderful night watching movies outside. We played games and the beach access is within walking distance. You are within walking distance to shopping and the best seafood. I can't say enough good things about this place!! I didn't want to leave. And I have to say this home is clean!! Great job to the house keeper!!
Thank you for sharing your home with us!! Many memories made in this paradise!!
Amazing Property, equip perfectly just bring your clothes
Spent a week and this house is very comfortable with large bedrooms, a comfortable living area, a dining room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms all renovated, looks recently done within this year last year 22 or 23. Incredible private pool with a nice landscape, amazing outdoor terrace and BBQ area with TV, lights for night time, and a heated pool that heats the pool to a comfortable temperature. Great gaming room equipped with everything you need for the pool fun, Or beach. No need to bring umbrellas or beach chairs the house has like up to 10 to 12 to choose from with a beach tent option and a cart to bring to and from the beach. The beach is like 7 min walk just 5 blocks nice walk in the neighborhood. Also, you can drive and find parking. I was there Memorial weekend and found parking if 7 min walk is too much. Sara Host was great. Everything is as described and better. I will return, and my family will also return as new clients. Do not hesitate to rent this property. I was impressed and Iâm being totally honest, I have never met Sara before but I will be a return client for sure next time.
The house was great but in need of maintenance, the sink in the kitchen handle kept falling off. The grill had to be replaced by the owner while we were staying there. The water pressure in the guest bathroom was very poor. The pool didnât want to stay heated even though the owner came over to increase temp and reset timer. But overall we were happy with the home
My wife and I returned here for the 2nd time because of how perfect this house is for us. Ideal location next to restaurants and the beach. House is very clean and has all the amenities you need. Personally, I love the outdoor living room area to watch movies by the pool at night. Hopefully weâll be back soon!
Had a fabulous two week stay coming from the UK.. Everything was perfect. House was spotless with lots of space for the four of us. The pool area was amazing with lots of sun beds, pool and beach toys etc. The house itself had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The beds were super comfy with lots of wardrobe space. Short walk to beach, shops, restaurants and trolley stop.. Overall a magical stay on the island and hope to make it back again soon and wouldnât hesitate to book this house again!
The rental process was the smoothest and easiest one that I have ever had with VRBO. Towels, beach towels, and linens were all supplied, which hasn't been common practice in other homes I've stayed in. Sara made the process so simple. She even contacted me to let me know the house was ready and we didn't need to wait until normal check in time. Lots of beach gear, books, and games. Beautiful pool area! Would definitely stay here again. Nothing but positive things to say. Wonderful experience!
Had a wonderful stay!
Amazing stock of pool and beach toys and gear (bocce, floats, boogie boards, beach chairs) and the beach wagon was fabulous too. Rolled easily over sand even when loaded down. Loads of beach/pool towels too. Location was just what we needed as we commutes back and forth to IMG for our sonâs scrimmages. Easy walking to some great restaurants and ice cream. Would definitely recommend!! Thanks Sara!!
Close to the beach, and had everything we needed, all the beach stuff from towels to chairs to even a wagon to take everything to the beach. Very easy communication with Sara and everything was just like the pictures showed three good sized bedrooms, a great family room and a pool with plenty of places to lounge in the sun. We especially loved the dog park only a five minute walk.
Sara was great to talk to. We arrived early and were allowed to check in early which was AWESOME!!!!, very grateful đ. It was close to beach and the cart provided to haul beach chairs and towels etc was perfect and appreciated! House is well stocked with pots/pans/dish detergent, coffee maker, aluminum foil, towels, lots of beach rafts/toys. The only thing lacking was full sun at the pool. In December the pool is only about a third covered in sun at the most so we were at the beach or sat on the far end of patio to get sun. The pool is heated and was the perfect temperature. Thanks!
We are Holmes Beach locals and we love it here! Dogs are part of our family, so we know the importance of having a place where guests can bring their pups with them on vacation as well. We're overjoyed that we get to share this very special place with vacationers from all over the world!
