Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Nicely decorated and very clean. Front porch a perfect location for afternoon reading.Very short walk to the beach for a morning walk and to see the sunset.

We had a lovely stay of 9 days. The house was perfect for my aging mother because it easy one story and was easy for her to maneuver around. I wish there was a bar in the shower for her but we managed. We had an issue with air conditioning but it was resolved within hours and it was a Friday evening!! I love that maintenance is on the island and was so friendly and polite. Neighborhood was quiet. We really loved the patio and we used the grill alot! I will definitely be back!!

Totally enjoyed our stay! The cottage is adorable and well stocked for anything you could possibly need. Walking distance to the beach. It’s heaven!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: PROS:
* they have beach towels, styrofoam cooler, pails for kids and a beach "stroller" which helps with the 0.3-mile walk to the actual sand of the beach
* the outdoor back area is well equipped with a Weber grill and 6-person commercial-grade umbrella
* front porch has a small settee, 2 chairs and small coffee table and end "stands" - although the awning leaks a bit, there is a 3 foot overhand from the house so you can push up against the wall to sit out when it is raining
* it's 0.3 miles to the Ugly Grouper and the Salty Dolphin boat rides, 0.5 to the "town" of Holmes beach and 1.25 to Manatee beach which we consider walkable although there is a free trolley that stops about 0.25
* 2 ensuites is nice although the laundry/utility room is through the largest bedroom as well as the fastest access to the back yard
* the management staff was extremely responsive to 2 issues we had although the website message center did not have a contact form (maybe it was the browser I was using?)

CONS:
* no outdoor hose
* only one towel rack in the front bedroom so squeezing 2 bath towels and a hand towel had them falling to the floor a lot - would be good to get a hook at least to the right of the sink and maybe behind door
* you'll need to drag a chair over to the utility room if you want to see the dryer settings and you're not 6 feet 2 inches tall
* too many decorative pillows which took up a lot of valuable closet space
* the areas around the door handles were dirty (very apparent with white doors) but I left comments on the form so maybe they will remedy that
* kitchen is extremely tiny and no dishwasher but the did provide dishsoap and a clean sponge
* we're not fans of blended drinks, but if you are, we did not see a blender so you may want to check
* conflicting information in the binder so best to call the office if you have questions

Beach decor and beautiful property near the beaches and restaurants. No need to fight the travel to and from the island when you’re already there. Will definitely come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was perfect for our needs during our 10 day stay. Duplex that’s newly renovated, with everything you need and was clean. With the property being well appointed, I’d recommend a couplethings to better outfit the property: towels were only a few and hodge podge mixture of low quality. Seemed like someone went to a thrift store and grabbed a few wash clothes, hand towels and body towels. There were 2 towels for the master bath, 2 towels for the 2nd bedroom bathroom. When you’re out at the beach and sweating all day in the heat, it’d be nice to have a couple more towels so you aren’t having to do laundry frequently just to shower. Living room chair is wicker and uncomfortable to sit in. Recommend owner invest in something suitable for their property. Couch is nice and comfortable- a nice comfortable chair that you’re able to sit in would be enjoyable and realistic assuming you have up to 3 or 4 people in this property. Couch is too small to squeeze 3 people on it.Tile floor is beautiful but our feet was black when walking around on it. Cleaning it beyond brooms and vacuum would be nice.

Had a great vacation here while needing to get away visiting family! The home was clean, decorated nicely and everything worked well. We would stay again.

The place was great for us (two couples). A very nice backyard patio. Beds were very comfortable. Holmes Beach was nice place to relax. Enjoyed the grill. Will come back.

I was able to walk almost everywhere I wanted to go...stores, restaurants, the beach, and even the dentist when I broke a tooth! The owners are very friendly and promptly took care of any minor concerns I had. I can't wait to get back!

Als wir ankamen erwartete uns ein wunderschönes, sauberes und sehr gepflegtes Haus. Alles wie versprochen. Kurzer Fussweg zum tollen Strand und zu netten Restaurants. Danke Florida Dreams, wir kommen wieder.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a completely updated cottage, the pictures are spot on! The house was very clean and spacious, and although we did not cook, it appeared all the cookware was available to do so. The backyard was adorable with a huge deck and BBQ. The front has a beach landscape, which was unique. My college aged daughter and I stayed here to attend a wedding at a near by B&B. This was a very safe and quiet neighborhood. It's probably a 5-8 minute walk to a public beach from here, but the unit had a nice wagon to pull your chairs and cooler. The Realty company was very responsive from my very first call, and answered my many questions. They were very easy to work with. Just read the conditions and check out procedures and you'll be fine! We are from the PNW and this was our first trip to AMI, but I am already planning on a return trip! I am happy to recommend Florida Dreams Realty of AMI and this particular rental unit!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had to cancel our trip which was our 25th wedding anniversary. The Governor issued a State Of Emergency for this area the day we were supposed to be there. FDR was never honest with us about the reality the situation, and when challenged told us we should have bought trip insurance, and they kept our $1200 without even offering a partial refund or change our dates. I can verify their position on this with an email from them.

My wife, my teenage son, and I stayed there it the place was exactly what I hoped. Everything is updated and with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths it was plenty of space.
A big plus was the Florida Dreams Rental folks gift bag left for us when we arrived. Little bottle of laundry detergent, couple bottles of water, couple of trash bags. We arrived in the evening so it was a pleasant surprise to not have to run out for those items.
Very cool that we had bath towels and beach towels provided, plus beach chairs.

Great experience and plan to rent again from Florida Dreams Realty :)

We definitely liked the key pad on the door instead of using keys.
