The home has a great location with ocean view, direct beach access, and really close to several good, family-friendly restaurants. One downside: The home was not in great shape. Particularly the bathroom on the lower level is a bit run down. ##### Felix F. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa M. Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a wonderful beach! The house is spacious and great location. Short walk on the path behind house right onto beach. It isn’t a crowded area of beach either. This area is just houses and no resorts or hotels. Beach is beautiful white sand and very clean! The kitchen had all needed appliances and cookware and glasses and plates. No staples such as salt or spices or anything like that though. The deck on upper level has a little view of beach and table and chairs. It was great to sit outside early and look at ocean and eat breakfast! It didn’t have the comfy lounger shown in picture though. There’s a grill for cooking outside also and wagon with four beach chairs which was great! (Although my boys did complain that the wagon didn’t pull well at all on the sand :)) Beds were comfortable and great couches with large tv on both levels. We really enjoyed our stay! ##### Lisa M.

Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location was great, house clean, communication with VRBO & Real estate company was very good. Saw fish, manatees, turtles, all kinds of birds, & devil ray fly out of the water-AWESOME! Water was emerald green, clear and refreshing. However, 4 stars given due to: kitchen needs a 13 gallon garbage can & cabinets/shelving for food! No dressers in 2 of the rooms to store clothes. No throw rugs or runners provided inside at doors or beds to catch the sand on feet. Only a broom which does NOT clean up sand. May consider a light weight vacuum available to guests. May also consider yellow turtle lights for outside, we rescued a baby turtle in path going toward house lights rather than the towards moon/gulf. Upstairs in closed porch/living room needs curtains: extremely hot & glare when afternoon sun comes in. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f3e3d067-1f9b-43c2-9d4c-f2e86e1e66b2-1759244302908.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1f7edc7-bd83-4e63-beb0-1fea483871bc-1759244304281.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2ec5884-9334-48b9-a1ac-007f26c205ca-1759244304394.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tammy S. Stayed 12 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle J. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### 2nd Time Around This was our 2nd booking for this home. Obviously we keep coming back for a reason. The location on the island and to the beach can’t be beat. However the property itself is somewhat under whelming not in function but aesthetically and with cleanliness. Inside the floors were filthy, and the table surfaces I’m positive weren’t cleaned in a while. I specifically inquired about rugs upon booking. I was told there were rugs. There are all tile floors and still no rugs at either door in which to clean the sand from one’s feet. The remnant piece at the outside back door did nothing. I’m sure I sound like I’m picking it apart, but I’m not . It is a great location and home. I just think a little updating of furniture and decor and thought put into basics would go along way. Definitely do it a third time I’m sure .. ##### Michelle J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Magan C. Jan 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice Nice home and pretty clean. You can see the ocean but only from living room upstairs, sunroom, and deck. Also, have quite a few steps to get to master suite and the master bed was pretty bad. We still very much enjoyed ourselves! But we are all in good health so stairs and a walk to the beach wasnt too bad. ##### Magan C. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### thomas m., Westlake Apr 12, 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Not clean The house was not what was pictured online. The overall house was filthy. The floors looked as if they were never swept and cleaned. The living room, bedroom and bathroom downstairs were infested with tiny black ants. The oven was not usable. Looked like it was never cleaned. 3 windows downstairs didn't even lock. We left early due to the condition of the house. We have yet to hear from management and contacted them last week. Will not rent from them again. ##### thomas m. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Calvin C. Oct 28, 2019 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Our patience was tested! The pictures made this look more up dated than it turned out to be. We had many problems which were dealt with by rental agency fairly well. However we should not have had: 3broken dining chairs replaced by another style that didn’t fit table, a plugged up toilet, a king size bed that broke, lounge chairs that were shredded and not usable, no sand chairs, telescope broken, stove that was off balance and wiggled, coffee pot unusable because of missing part, worn coffee table and side table. Rental agent dealt with all this but it was obvious the house was not adequate for the rent we were charged. The up keep of the home is negligent and our time and patience was tested and should not have been! ##### Calvin C. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michelle P. May 10, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Terrible experience and unsatisfactory resolution. Within hours of checking in, the entire second floor was full of hundreds of swarming termites. We called to get help but were not able to reach someone until the following morning. We spent most of the day going back and forth to see what our options were. None of them met our needs or expectations. We ended up canceling our stay and going home. Some of the money we had paid was credited back leaving us with a $600 bill for one bug-infested stay (less than 24 hours). The house was very dirty and looked like the floors had not been cleaned with sand and black dirt everywhere. The AC on the first flood did not work very well. The beds were too hard and uncomfortable. We tried to work with AMI Locals and VRBO. VRBO refused to credit us for any of their charges and AMI locals only a partial. Overall this was a very poor experience and do not feel this matter was resolved to the level of our satisfaction. I hope others don't have to experience what we did at this location. ##### Michelle P. Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian F.

Aug 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful would come back Great location and beautiful large house. Plenty of room for everyone. Lots of sand toys and chairs and towels for beach time. Responds quick to issues via text and they sent out someone in the next day or two. Only recommendations is #1- the property managers check to make sure everything is working before having guests come in. Dishwasher broken and 2 rooms remotes/apple or roku boxes not functioning. Batteries dead in other remotes. #2- please make broom and mop available. Only thing to help clean is a small vacuum and with all the sand and a child, we really needed another option. I'm assuming cleaning supplies are what is located in the room where the door is locked. ##### Kristina L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle J.

We enjoyed ourselves a lot. The beach was just out the back door and down a path. The only issues we had, there were no rugs, lots of sand and no broom. There was a small vacuum that picked up nothing. I purchased a broom, and brought it back home with us. I used the towels that were supplied as rugs thru out the rental. It was superficially cleaned, could use a deep clean.. Even with theses small issues I would recommend it. ##### Michelle J.
