The Best part of the Island is in your front yard and back. The beach was amazing and just feet away from Bridge st., where we shopped, mini golf, ice cream and even could fish off the dock.The sunsets were amazing! Will definitely be going back. The days felt long because everything is right there, so much to do. 5 stars out of 5 stars!

Amazing Beachfront Condo

My wife and three of our four kids (18, 15, 14) spent a week and couldn’t be happier. The private balcony right on the beach was spectacular. The condo was clean and spacious. Exactly as advertised. It’s a bit quieter north in Holmes Beach (10 minute drive), but we thoroughly enjoyed Bridge Street, which is right out the front door. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect Location! No Car Needed!

This was a Girls' weekend at the beach. All of us are over 65, and like to party, so being able to walk over to Bridge Street to listen to music and have drinks and dinner was wonderful. The condo was equipped with everything we needed except beach supplies. 4 beach chairs and an umbrella or two would go a long way to make this absolutely perfect! We had friends visit us a few times, so the underground parking was so nice. Parking is scarce in this area of AMI so very nice to have. We got our groceries through Instacart from Publix which was only a 2 hour process and we didn't have to leave the balcony. Refrigerator is a nice size and the icemaker is wonderful.The four of us had more than enough room. Can't wait to come back here and bring my granddaughters!

Perfect Beachfront getaway

We loved our stay, right on the beach! We were able to enjoy the ambiance from our balcony when we didn’t want to get sandy, or walk right out onto the beach when we did. Walking distance to restaurants was also a plus. The unit was as advertised. The unit improvement I would suggest would be to have a box of tissues and a few very basic spices (salt and pepper) on hand. I didn’t expect them based on the listing but it would have been a nice touch.

Great Location

Couldn't ask for a better location to enjoy the beach and have plenty of walkable stores and restaurants. This unit is in good shape but could use a few upgrades. Nothing that would effect your stay. The antiquated key box needs to be replaced with a electronic keypad.

Sept beach vacation

Our vacation was wonderful! The location, views, and property overall were great. We were able to check in a couple hours early, and the management team was very responsive via text and made sure everything was going well. The ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom were torn apart and appear to have been water damaged, so although it didn't look great, it didn't impact our stay. The doorwall was also very difficult to open and close (probably lodged with sand). Overall everything was clean and would definitely stay again.

Amazing Location

This condo is at such a perfect location. Great unit very comfortable and cute. It had absolutely everything we needed. Ceilings look like there was some recent work and needs a little cosmetic repair but nothing that took away from how great this unit was. The property is small which never made the beach feel crowded. The unit itself was perfect size for a family of 4 with teens. Close to everything- can't wait to come back and would love to stay in unit 6 again.

Anna Marie condo

I like the property. But I will never rent through VRBO again. Your fee’s are excessive on top of the rent. You charge $59. Damage fee. If there isn’t damage do you return the money to the renter. The community pool could not be used because of broken drain. Are you going to refund us anything because we could not use the pool?

Fabulous weekend getaway!

We were looking for a long weekend on the water to enjoy warmer weather than we had in WI, and this was the perfect fit! The condo was absolutely wonderful, and the view from the balcony was stunning. Very much appreciated the beach chairs and towels being available, and the rest of the property was clean, and had everything you could want. The location is steps from all the main restaurants and shops... it was simply perfect!

200 Golf Road condo

The condo was true to its listing and well appointed. Three issues for improvement: the master bathroom floor had dirt on it left from shoes, the main room blinds are broken/don't fit the sliding glass doors which causes the afternoon sun to heat up the condo, it would be nice to have more than one set of bath towels per person. We did enjoy the sunsets each evening and the location next to Bridge Street was great for morning breakfasts. Also note: most restaurants are closed on Monday and some on Tuesday on Bridge Street.
