The house was clean, well-stocked, nicely decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. However, a few things affected our stay. Construction next door, which we werenât told about, was loud at times and caused tiny paint chips to end up in the pool after it rained. The host came to skim it and left a net, but we only used the pool once. The bar fridge outlet was not working, but her husband kindly fixed it the next day. Minor issues like low water pressure and a dusty air vent upstairs could use attention. Overall, a nice home, but not quite the relaxing stay we were hoping for.
We really enjoyed our 2week stay at D's Hideaway, it is a short walk to the beach , and on a quiet street . We appreciated the beach chairs and cart that were provided , and the beautiful pool and waterfalls were great . The shower on the main floor of the house had very low pressure , but other than that everything was awesome . I would definitely recommend this place .
Iâve been to AMI multiple times, but this was the first time bringing my family. We all not only loved it, but felt so comfortable and at home with this place! Everything about it was perfect and the owners are so sweet. Itâs in a great place, and would come again.
We stayed at D's Hideaway for 1 week and had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time down by the pool/bar area and it was awesome. Fan, bluetooth speaker, fridge, tiki toss, beach towels, beach chairs and toys, etc. The house has a great beach vibe and very organized. We would definitely stay here again!
The property was perfect for our family of 4. The girls loved the bed in the cubby under the stairs. The pool area was great; water was warm and pool was well maintained.
Check in and out process was simple. Owners live next door and available to help if needed.
Location was centrally located so we could do Holmes beach, Bean Point, Bridge Street and Bradenton all very easily.
Our family enjoyed Dâs hideaway, everything from the heated pool, to the short walk to the beach, and the most amazing sunset views available in so many areas of the island. This was our first trip to AMI but not our last! This home is perfect for a small family and the island has so much to offer.
Iâll keep it short. The place is as advertised. It was plenty big, clean, and everything was great. We would happily stay here again. I loved the pool area, of all the places Iâve stayed, this was my favorite (covered tv, tiki bar, and mini fridge and plenty of storage for toys and chairs). Loved having the beach cart to borrow too. FYI the bathroom is on the second floor. This did not bother us at all but if going up stairs is challenging, you should think twice. Thanks for sharing your place!
Our family enjoyed our stay at D&Ds Hideaway! The pool was perfect size to relax and cool down after the beach. My youngest loved the bed under the stairs. The beach towels & beach cart were awesome for the beach! Beautifully decorated, wonderful location, donât pass this one up!

When at the pool, you are one flight of stairs up to the main bath and two flights up to the master bath...way too many stairs each time you need to use the bathroom. Other that that the home is ideal...though the advertised waterfall into the pool only ran once for 1 hour during our entire stay.
The house was awesome! The pictures do not do it justice. We rented bikes and rode to the beach, which was literally two blocks away. This house is centrally located, you can ride to the pier, or go to town for dinner. The pool was very refreshing after spending the day at the beach. We loved playing cards in the outdoor area and the hook game was very addicting! We will be back!
Love love love! We will be back. Only problem was that we wish VRBO would give the renter(us) first right to refusal. Did know we didnât have that option. We wanted to rent again next year same time and couldnât. Very disappointed.
Other than that it was perfect.
We truly enjoyed our stay here! Perfect for our family of four- with 2 great rooms for our teens and a beautiful master suite upstairs! Everything was perfect....and we really enjoyed the tiki bar and 85-90 degree pool each day!!! What a treat!!! Thank you so much- we will be back!!!! Highly recommend renting Bikes and exploring the Northern end of the island that way! What fun!
When the Ontario government announced another lockdown, we high tailed it down to Florida. The house was easy to find, and super cute! Everything was good quality and it was decorated nicely. There was lots of room for our two teens to have their own space for online schooling and for us in the upper level primary bedroom suite. Just a short walk to the beach for the unforgettable sunsets, or to the canals for some fishing. We rented bikes and that was fun. The weather turned colder when we were there, and we didnât get to use the outside space as much as we would have liked to. Maybe it was the time of year, but the backyard didnât get much sun., which might be a big plus for some families. The only real downside for us, was that the outside space seemed disconnected from the house, because it was downstairs and through a safe but tricky to open gate with full hands. But the full bar with tv and radio made it worth it. Iâd recommend this house, great value. Iâll take done the decorating ideas home with me!
