Lovely in every way

The rooms were clean and attractive and had everything we needed. Towels, pool towels, hair dryer, coffee maker, dishes and utensils were very nice. There is a very cute lift we didn’t use but really liked, the veranda is nice, and each unit is private but amenable to visiting in the courtyard and pool area. It is only a short walk to the beach and free shuttle stop.

Great little place in Holmes Beach!

We had a wonderful stay at the Crow's Nest. It is well laid out and well supplied. It was just my husband and I but loved that there were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas for everyone staying at the property to use. The beach is super close and easy to access along with the island trolley. Such a cute little hideaway and we would definitely stay again!

Perfect

We absolutely loved our stay at the Crows Nest! The beach was a very short walk away with local restaurants and pubs less than 1/2 mile away. We walked every where we needed to go. We ate in a lot so we were happy the kitchen was adequately supplied for our needs. We loved our stay!

Restful two weeks

First time staying here in the Crow’s Nest. Clean, convenient and close to everything. Went in late October so place was quiet; we had the pool to ourselves most of the time. Place is well maintained. Would like to go back next year

Summer Vacation 2024

The best place we ever stay. Everything perfect, we cooked( that would be good having a Air Frier) we grilled, pool very well taking care, beach 2 blocks from the house. Nick( Handy Man) really nice guy. The beach free and amazing clean. Enough towers and even beach chairs. I even had a chance to meet Chris(Owner) We came in 6 and a dog. I definitely recommend millions of time. My family loved it, and for sure we’ll be back. Peace and enjoy.

Crows nest

The unit was a super cute setup, my kids loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. The couches and pillows were very dirty and need a thorough cleaning, or replaced. They also could have used an area rug. Also, the overall cleanliness could have been better. There was dust on windowsills and ledges. Awesome location, short walk to a beautiful beach. Pool is super small and shared with other units.

Simply Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our little cottage on this vacation. It was a really nice and cozy place for my family of four (two adults/two children). They two slept upstairs and my wife and I in the master. It could have easily accommodated 1-2 more children or maybe one more adult (couch). It was very clean and fully-equipped. We really liked this spot because of the upper deck that made us feel apart from the other renters, though that wasn't an issue at all. Everyone was very respectful of the shared spaces and super friendly. After the first night we realized the pillows were very old and flat - they arrived within 30 minutes of calling and replaced with brand new pillows. We needed a beach wagon - they brought that too! We have no complaints, only praise, and had a wonderful vacation at AMI.

Great property and location

My wife and ai spent a week at the property and we truly loved our experience. The property is steps away from a beautiful less crowded part of the beach and within walking distance to bars and restaurants. The unit was comfortable, clean, and everything on the description was provided. We look forward to coming back soon.

It was perfect for our family of 4 - the accommodations, the pool, the location, the distance to sights/stores/food. It truly had everything we needed. Very comfortable and felt like home. The free trolley up and down the island was very handy. We will be back!

Beautiful

We had an amazing low key week staying the in the Crows nest, it was perfect for myself and two boys (9 and 7) Great pool and short walk to the beach. My only complaint is the beds- they were really hard, one of my boys decided it was more comfortable to sleep on the couch! Will absolutely be staying here again!

Great property to spend the week. It was just the two of us so the property we rented fit us perfectly. The location is quiet, close to the beach, restaurants, etc. The onsite pool was very nice as well. We loved our stay and will be back again.

AMI vacation

We had a great time! For most of our stay their were 3 other couples there about our age. One night we all had a bar-b-que out at the pool besides swimming & going to the beach with them. The pool was warm & we were close to the beach, restaurants & shopping.

Late Spring break vacation

First time renting from AMILV and the experience was great. We stayed at Spinnaker Cottages aCrows Nest suite. The old Florida charm is lovely, and my granddaughter loved sleeping in the loft. We were close to everything and 300 steps to the beach. I highly recommend and w use the company again.
