The duplex had everything we needed - well-equipped kitchen, beach chairs, towels, sheets, etc. and it was in a great location - a short walk to the white sand beach, restaurants and shops. Especially happy we rented the golf cart to get around the island. Owner was very responsive and helpful. ##### joann d.

We were able to cook breakfast in, and I had all the supplies I needed. A lot of extras were provided such as coffee, dishwashing liquid, beach towels and umbrellas, etc. The place was super clean and was a good central location although considered northern.

Everything is new and remodeled. The deck can use a new paint refresh, but all the other amenities were new and in great shape. The coffee maker is a Keurig (I like when they specify which coffee maker there is) . We had a great time as a couple, with an 11 and 13 year old. Thank you! ##### Kevin G.

Everything we could have wanted or needed for two couples was included. The furniture was very modern / a little different than we are all used to at our homes but it was nice to experience. The host left spices , oil and coffee in the kitchen. There were two coffee pots (one regular and one k-.cup with cappuccino and latte options). In the bathroom, there was soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers - so no need to pack that! Beautiful place to visit and a great place to call home for the time there !! Thank you for opening your home to us to stay in!! Darlene ##### Darlene F.

The location is perfect. Two minute walk to the beach which is made easier with wagons for hauling beach chairs and umbrellas that the hosts have available to use. The paddle board and kayak were a hit with everyone (adults, teenagers, and even our 4 year old). The apartment is stunning! Beds are huge and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. The hosts are very thoughtful providing little things to make the stay easier like built in shampoo/conditioner/bodywash dispensers to the bathrooms. It was very handy to have a laundry room with detergent for our stay. Martin and Lynda are amazing hosts! They had great recommendations for places to eat. Check out their welcome book at arrival for recommendations. Slims is our favorite spot for food. Great food, great service, and little or no wait for a table. We loved manatee beach for a full day at the beach. This beach cafe has a good selection of food and drinks available. We enjoyed having live music, volleyball, a playground, restrooms and changing facilities at manatee beach. The beach steps away from the apartment is beautiful and less busy. Perfect for a day at the beach close to the apartment, a morning walk, shell hunting, and catching the sunset. We will definitely be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a2dc4035-d4fb-457d-810b-60b2cd75b725-1752942888909.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16999da0-7989-4672-bfc9-44e91adfb7f6-1752942885933.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86542bd2-a4e1-4693-af47-c4c07ee6509d-1752942889157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0164bcdf-4361-4346-ae7e-6baa6d5912a1-1752942884680.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Charlene M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole R., Port Washington, WI. USA 🇺🇸 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and amenities We stayed for a week in June and the condo was perfectly located for an amazing get-away. The location was perfect for easy beach access (just two houses, turn left and three houses to the beach path). We took advantage of renting the electric golf cart from the condo, which was very convenient. The condo was clean and provided access to a lower level washer and dryer. The owners provided everything you could need (minus food) for the week, including sufficient towels, beach towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, garbage bags, vacuum, a few umbrellas, etc. We stopped at the Publix and Walgreens to do some light shopping, but the restaurants on the island are all amazing - there was not one place we dined at that disappointed. The owner provides a code for keyless entry to the condo, so no key to lose on the beach! Lynda and Martin were very responsive and polite. We'd definitely stay here again when we visit AMI - what a lovely island! ##### Nicole R.
