Great AMI rental

We've stayed on the island for many years and tried several locations. This was a great house for 3-4 guests with it's own pool, two bedrooms, close to stores/bars/restaurants, and very very close to beach. The house was clean and updated with what we needed. It's on the higher price range but hard to find a private home with a pool that close to beach that has two rooms and two bathrooms. Worth it!

Very short walk to beach.

On the whole this was a nice little cottage. We loved the closeness to the beach and we could walk to several restaurants. I wasn’t in love, though, with the pool area. The tall houses on 2 sides plus an alley way on another side kept it from feeling private. Also, the sliding doors were consistently hard to open.

Wow!

I don’t want to brag too much about this cute little house because I want it all to myself every day! It was perfect for my husband and I and we didn’t want to leave. The beach access is so close and the pool was perfect. I didn’t win the lottery yesterday so I can’t buy the house but it’s perfect and everything you could want for a little beach house.

Great location!

This house is in a perfect location. 1 minute walk to the beach. They have beach chairs, an umbrella (it is broken but we found a way to make it work), and pool floats. Bring your hand soap, extra paper towels, napkins, and any seasonings. Otherwise you are good to go! Only enough room for 4 people. We loved the town and the fact that we never needed our car. Great restaurants nearby as well as a general store.

Nice Beach Home

A nice small cottage, perfect for a couple or small family. Clean and comfortable, just 2 houses away from the beach! Which was awesome! I do have one complaint is the sliding glass door, for me it was impossible to open. My husband did get it open, but then very hard to close. We just didn't sit out on the porch. It look like someone tried to fix it, but did a horrible job on it.

Found Paradise

The apartment was renovated before our arrival. Everything very tasteful. New appliances in the kitchen. It's wonderful for a week ore more holiday on this wonderful island. We enjoyed breakfast on the screened lanai. Just a few steps to the most beautiful beach section of the island. Thanks to Matt from annamariaparadies for supporting us in everything. We definitly will come back! Fritz & Theresa Austria

Just a few little things.....

This is a cute cottage in a great location, but there are a few things I would have liked to have known before our stay. If you plan to do any cooking, know that there isn't anything there to start with. Other rentals I've had a few things in the kitchen. Commonly coffee and salt and pepper. Also no facial tissue or extra toilet paper beyond what is on the roller. Another medium sized pot would have been helpful.

Loved location - 1 bathroom in disrepair

This is a lovely little cottage super close to the beach which made it easy to go back & forth from beach & use pool on property. We had some bad luck - 1 toilet gushed water from base from the 1st time we flushed it & also gurgled sewer water into tub. This rendered 1 bathroom useless & was a major nuisance (2nd bathroom only accessible thru another bedroom). We were told a plumber would come & repair, but only had a mgmt. person come take pictures. Very disappointing as it was one of our main prerequisites (having 2 bathrooms for privacy). At night we had to go outside & around side of house to separate entrance to 2nd bathroom. We were happy to pay the cost for this wonderful location - but expected to have the amenities listed available to us.

Mermaid’s purse

The location was perfect for us. Easy walking distance to restaurants and only steps to the beach. The host was very responsive and helpful. The pool heater was not on our first day, but a service tech was sent and it was warm quickly. The cottage was nice, but could stand some updating especially of beds and sofa which were not the most comfortable. The screened in front porch was a nice place to sit and relax and you could even see the gulf if you looked just right. Small additions to the kitchen like a pizza pan and cutter as well as a reusable coffee filter would be nice, but other than that we had everything we needed. My only real complaint was the alarm on the back door. I'm sure it is required, but it should have an on-off switch for renters without kids. The evening we checked in, I pressed the bypass button and was looking for the power switch so we could bring our luggage in. The alarm went off and blasted me with my head near it. My ears are still ringing two weeks later. I fear I have permanent damage to my hearing. I removed the battery for our stay, but I question the need for an alarm that loud for such a small house and the risk of damaging someone else hearing should be considered equally with the pool safety.

Perfect Getaway

We have been vacationing annually at AMI for many years. This was our first time at Mermaid’s Purse and we were very pleased. Being a small 2 bedroom unit, it was just right for me and my wife. Our favorite benefit was how close to the beach. 170 steps from the front porch to where I caught my 32” snook! We have no complaints, but I would recommend updated sofa and chairs. These were not very comfortable to lounge in the evenings. The cookware is all stainless, so you have to be on your chef game if you want to whip up eggs and pancakes. Overall, our trip was amazing!

Great Location

The house was exactly as pictured, and you cannot beat the location! Nicely decorated and in walking distance to just about everywhere we went during our stay. Perfect for our family of three. We had issues with the pool, but the property managers worked very hard to get it fixed for us. Which was not an easy task being it was Thanksgiving week. A new heater was installed, and we were able to use the pool on our last day. I do recommend calling and speaking to them instead of the text/email option. We found it was a better way to communicate with them and everyone we spoke to in their office was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back and stay again!

Cute Beach Cottage, just steps to the beach

Just steps to the beach, this adorable beach cottage was everything we could ask for and more! The private pool was pristine! It was the perfect way to relax after a hard day at the beach😉. We grilled out some days but we were within walking distance to the best restaurants on the island! This was our first visit to AMI and we instantly fell in love! In fact, we already booked our next trip!
