We had a wonderful vacation on AMI. The house is exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed and the beach was less than 5 minutes away. The pool is great and very private. Only issue we had were the tires on all but one bike were flat. But, we were able to rent bikes for the week from Beach Bums. We would definitely rent this property again.

The location of this property was great. The beach is close by and the area was quiet. The home had plenty of space for us all and the decor was very nice. There was some cons to our trip. The WiFi password was listed differently in several places we contacted management and they were able to help us. Other things we came across with the property were the main fridge ice maker was broken along with the outside bar fridge had a door broken off the freezer. Apon arrival it did not seem to have been cleaned in the outside patio area. Landscaping appears to have not been taken care of in quite some time .During our stay there was not enough hot water for all of us to take hot showers. The washing machine appeared to have black mold on the door gasket and had a musty smell. The toaster only toasted lightly on one side. Some of the patio furniture was stained or breaking. During our stay someone came once to clean the pool, it was stated they would clean twice. We are not pool experts so not sure if this pool was a chlorine pool but we did not smell chlorine at all . By the end of our stay 4 out of 6 of us had very painful inner and outer ear infections to deal with which the doctor thought it could be from dirty pool water. There were a few rodents seen outside nad in property . The breaker to the master bathroom kept tripping also. The bunkrooms smoke alarm was missing from the ceiling. I did mention our issues at the end of our trip to management by email.

we realized on our first full day that the hot water heater was not heating properly, and also there was a problem with the garage door. We contacted them the management company and they sent somebody over right away. Also the owner of the property contacted us and was very helpful and very kind. Sometimes things happen it’s nice to know people care and take care of them. We would definitely vacation with this company and this owner again!

We absolutely loved out stay here! There was so much to do at the house for all age ranges! The kids loved the little area by the pool with the TV and hung out there a lot of evenings! It was mere steps from the beach which was awesome! Perfect space for 1-2 families with kids! Literally the only issue was having to go buy ice every 5 seconds because the only ice maker was the one in the fridge which didnt produce much! Overall we are obsessed with the house and everything it had to offer! ☺️

The beach house was nice. The location is great! Just wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. There weren’t enough towels in the bathrooms. The washer and dryer looked like they hadn’t been used for a while and had a strong odor. Some of the furniture was old and starting to fall apart.

Perfect vacation home
We had an amazing experience from the time we arrived. I don’t have one back thing to say about this home. The backyard was perfect and the walk to the beach was super close. It was stocked with everything we needed and stores were close for extras. The inside was clean and decorated so nice. We will be back!

Nice property with all amenities as stated on listing. Easy walk to the beach, 1.5 blocks (though 1 block is less than a typical city block). Outdoor living was great; covered patio with tv, 4 pool lounge chairs, warm outdoor shower, hot tub that was hot, private backyard, grills and outdoor table. Room to spread out and congregate. Ocean and pool toys, bikes and coolers were much appreciated. Plenty of plastic and glass dishes & glasses.

Beautiful home with everything that you need!!!
All I can say is that we were super happy with this amazing home.
It was perfect for our group of 8. Very specious, clean with everything that you may need. Kids loved the heated pool and used it for hours every day. Located just a short distance from the beach it was just what we were looking for. Will definitely come back again!!!

This house was perfect for us. It was very nice and so close to the beach. We loved the pool, and rode the bikes every day. It was well equipped with plenty of towels and beach towels too. We thought it was a great place! I might make a suggestion that they supply more eating utensils. We ran out of forks daily. You might want to bring some plastic forks when you come. We would definitely stay at Mermaid Crossing again!

This house was awesome! 6 houses to the beach. Excellent layout for 2 families. Owner’s suite is on the other side of the house with a walk-in closet big enough for a pack n play or 2! One of the king rooms has a full bath for another couple and that suite is plenty big. The other king room isn’t big at all but worked just fine for 2 teenagers. The bunk bed room has 5 beds since there’s a trundle. Very easy to share with another family. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The decor was outstanding. The finishes are gorgeous. The pool was such a wonderful retreat! Having covered outdoor space was a major plus since it rained frequently on our trip. Loves the house! We would rent it again!!! A few cons: the floors are impossible to keep clean and show everything…even grains of sand. The cleaning crew did only an ok job. There were sticky remotes. Water stains/dribbles. Former tenants clothes under the bed. It was NOT gross in any way, but it was obvious they were super busy and most likely had to rush. None of it was a deal breaker at all. Again, we would rent this property over and over.
Things I would suggest to the owners:
•put sliders on the kitchen chairs (so loud on laminate)
•Adirondack chairs would be a welcomed addition
•organize garage toys and beach equipment
•put hooks in the yard for hanging/drying towels
•add mattress pads: the beds are very hard
•upgrade pillows/sheets

Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids) spent a week at Mermaids Crossing and couldn’t have asked for a better property! There were plenty of sleeping/bathing accommodations, open kitchen/living space. The outdoor space with pool, covered seating, patio, and grill was perfect for our crew to spread out and enjoy! The beach accessories and bikes were a huge help and nice to have! The house and pool were clean and well maintained. The beautiful beach was quick and easy to access by walking a short distance. We absolutely recommend this property and plan to visit again!

Great spring break week
Very happy with the house we rented in AMI. It really is a 1.5 walk to the beach, location cannot be beat. We used the pool and outdoor TV area every day. House has all the kitchen gadgets you need to eat at home. Considering coming back next spring break for sure.

Wonderful setup but house had many issues that needed to be addressed. First of all the contact with owners leading up to our stay and during was extremely poor. The house had many broken items: doors, sink, handles, etc. some items were addressed quickly upon our arrival while others were not. The house, outdoor area, and location are wonderful! We walked or took a golf cart to almost everything. Beautiful island!! The pool guy did come to the house towards the end of the week and instructed us that there was no chlorine in the pool/hot-tub so it would need to be treated right away. Some of us started developing a small bacterial rash from pool/hot tub (I believe because the lack of chlorine during our week of use). Overall is was nice but definitely could be better if some things were improved

Great location and awesome outdoor area
This home had a wonderful outdoor area. The pool, cabana, and patio are beautiful. I wish the hot tub actually got hot. The rooms were comfortable and well decorated. The big kitchen table and living room were perfect for our group. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We’d stay here again.

Door Lock and Hot Tub
Great stay, really enjoyed the property. The electronic door lock was not in the best shape when we arrived but we used the garage door opener all week so it wasn’t a problem. The only other item that we didn’t spend any time addressing was that the hot tub was the same temp as the pool and we didn’t know how to change it. Overall the property was great and the proximity to everything was awesome. Would stay again for sure.

Loved the house, location...
We had an amazing experience booking and working with Beach Retreats to book our house. They were amazing answering our questions and helping us get familiar with AMI. The house exceeded our expectations and the pool was just perfect. The location to the beach was a bonus as was all the beach toys, chairs, bikes for our use. We will be back! Thanks again!

Incredible Home!
Our two families stayed in this gorgeous home Dec 26-Jan 2. It fit the 9 of us perfectly. The home looks exactly as pictured. It had everything we needed to cook meals for 4 teenage boys! We loved the backyard- pool and covered space were spectacular. Pool was cold the first day but a call into the pool guy and it warmed up the next day. Kids spent hours in the pool and at the beach. Beach is close and very clean. Could’ve easily stayed another week!
