Condo was nicely furnished. The most equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a rental.The view and space on balcony was great. Walk to beach was just a short distance.Something unusual for us was being so close to all the restaurants and shops, we actually loved it. Our first visit to AMI and we will be back.

I’ll leave a thorough review for those considering to book this property in the future. Myself, husband and two of our three children, ages 12 & 10 stayed here during our Easter/Spring break. Booking was very easy and they have a renter portal they send you a link to with the info you will need to check in and extra info about the island for your stay which is nice for those who haven’t stayed or are unfamiliar with the area. We wanted this location for fishing and Bridge St. so the location was perfect for us! I will preface this by saying that we have rented a LOT of properties on VRBO and other apps and have not have a bad experience, until now. This wasn’t awful but it wasn’t optimal for what we paid to be here. I’ll start at the beginning. The entry system is archaic. It’s a lockbox screwed to the wall. If you aren’t staying together as a family the whole time, you have to constantly lock and and unlock the lockbox and leave the key there so everyone has access at all times and so you don’t lose the key. For what it costs to add keyless entry these days, this is annoying - however a minor inconvenience to what came next. I read that we would be left some “starter items” (I.e. dish soap, toilet paper, garbage bags, laundry and dishwasher items). Upon arrival there were no garbage bags, nothing to start laundry or the dishwasher. We did have toilet paper thankfully, and a small roll of paper towel. The garbage bag was really frustrating as a family with children walking in from an hour ride from the airport at 11pm, we had trash that had to sit on the counters until the next day when I could go grocery shopping. The property clearly hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. The insides of the kitchen drawers and baseboards are dirty, the fake plants (particularly the one in the master bedroom) are disgusting and haven’t been dusted or cleaned in a long time. I mean, it’s REALLY BAD- It should just be removed. The rugs in master bath and living room really need to be cleaned. The couch and chairs in the living room/pillow covers really need to be cleaned before being rented again. This all was tolerable. What isn’t is the bugs in the kitchen. ALL OVER THE COUNTERS AND SINK. There were hundreds of them on our things! It took TWO DAYS to get them to even call me back! Pest services was supposed to come finally on our last day there. I waited two hours and NO ONE CAME! I left a message with guest services and NO CALL BACK! No apology- nothing!!!
