It was perfect for my girls and my fiancé! He proposed on Holmes Beach (the short one block walk to the beach) during the AMAZING sunset the second night. The girls and I have a tradition of going to the "same beach every night for the sunset" and this duplex was absolutely perfect.Screened in porch was a win by all of us and it was the perfect location for our first family vacation. The duplex neighbors were so friendly and inviting as well, spoke highly of the owner. Very happy and I hope to book again next year!
My friend and I truly enjoyed this place. A bock to the gulf one way and a block to the Bay the other way. Was extremely clean and furnished with everything we needed. Very safe area.
This place is a gem!!! Very short walk to the beach. Had all the amenities needed for the beach: chairs, wagon, umbrella, sand toys, etc! They had the most comfortable beds! Decorated cute with everything you need for the kitchen!! I would highly recommend this place and location!!!
Everything up to date, clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week in Florida. During Hurricane Debby I was able to go out to the protected screened porch and fall asleep on the couch while enjoying the elements of the weather. Perfectly situated on the narrow island. My grandkids enjoyed standing in the street, looking a block and a half one way to the ocean, a block and a half the other way was the bay. Laura was a perfect host! No wonder she’s usually booked!
The property is adorable! It had everything we needed as a family of four to comfortably relax & unwind. Super close to the beach & amazing restaurants. Quiet, clean, and very cozy. Already planning our next trip when we can stay longer!
We enjoyed our stay, the location was amazing and it was nice to have all the beach stuff available to use! The only thing I will say is, the bathtub drain was clogged when we got there and the water pressure is actually insane; it’s so strong that it’s hard not to get water everywhere and it kind of hurts. I know some people might enjoy this and usually I do too but this was a bit much. Also the light situation in the bedrooms was very weird, the remotes controlled both rooms so when you turned on the lights in one they also turned on in the other and they would randomly turn on in the middle of the night. This could also just be user error! But overall it was good for the couple of days that we used it and I feel like it would be good for families!
We could not have picked a more perfect place for our first time on AMI. Just a short walk to beach or bay. Place was super clean and well supplied. Definitely one of the best Vrbo rentals we have ever stayed in. Being 12 hours away dont know if we will ever make it back that way but if we are fortunate to get to come back to AMI we would definitely rent here again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
This unit was perfect for a long weekend getaway. Comfortable with adequate amenities and great location. Loved the comfortable bed and great shower water pressure. Couldn’t have had a better stay!
My best friend and I took her son, who turned 13 while at the beach, and his best friend for a birthday weekend. The place was great for a couple of kiddos to have quick access to the beach, all the beach toys they needed, and all the necessities to boot.
Laura was very responsive. When our wagon wheels broke, she lined out a replacement in no time flat.
Great stay. Highly recommend.
3-minutes' walk to a beautiful beach. Multiple restaurants and bars within about a mile. Unit had every amenity we needed, including a stocked kitchen, beach towels and chairs, screened porches, and A/C. Would rent again!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sugar Reef! The king-sized bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was strong, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We also appreciated the close proximity to the beach and the excellent communication from the property manager.
We absolutely loved our stay! The condo is super clean and cute! Had everything we needed and there’s a Circle K really close which made things convenient for quick little things that you might need. The trolley stops were close to. We will definitely come back. Also the property manager was accommodating and helpful on getting us in and allowing us to use the key to store our luggage since we had a late flight leaving out. Thanks again we will definitely return.
The condo is in a great location and well furnished. The kitchen is nice and the living room was comfortable. We appreciated the laundry in the unit. The only drawback for us was the screen porch only being accessible by going outside of the unit, and pretty dark being underneath.
My teenage daughter and I spent a few days here. Super clean, everything works as it should. short walk to the beach. We would definitely recommend this VRBO! Host was helpful and responsive, but never intrusive.
This home was perfect!! Just a short walk to the beach, the trolly stop, and the bay side with beautiful sunrises and a playground for the little’s. The home was stocked with beach towels, beach toys, chairs and floaties. Full kitchen if you’re looking for that. The screened in patio was a great space for the times you need a break from the sun. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

When we found this property we knew it was in the perfect location! It's a great neighborhood and so close to the beach. It's super close to grocery, pharmacy, beachy shops and restaurants. Our purpose was to create a comfortable, well stocked beach home where you can litterally arrive and relax.
