May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway We had an amazing time in AMI! This house was perfect for my husband, our 18 year old daughter and myself. Loved that it had 2 bathrooms a perfect size kitchen and laundry. Also loved that it had beach chairs and a wagon to pull everything with when we went to the beaches(yes we went to almost all of them). Some of our favorite places to eat were Salt (best key lime pie), Pizzanos (Juan was amazing), Koconuts was a great night time atmosphere on the beach with live music, The ugly Grouper amazing grouper tacos and cheese logs, and the best place ever that we had ice cream EVERY DAY was Two Scoops!! It’s a must try for sure….we even walked across the street to eat it by the water. We will definitely be back to visit AMI! ##### Amee M.
