Would definitely rent again

Spacious unit, great location, well stocked. Very nice to have the beach equipment. Easy beach access. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Nice pool for those who prefer to stay close. We enjoyed the 2 glassed in patios.

Wonderful week!

The unit was in an amazing location! So close to the beach, Publix, and other stores and restaurants. The pool was very nice even though we barely used it because the beach is so amazing here. We loved the condo! The kitchen was well equipped. Loved sitting on the porches. Thanks for a great week!

We loved our stay and are hoping to come back next year! Only thing of note that was frustrating - the wifi is for the whole condo (about 8 condos) and was hard to connect to. The TVs in the master didn’t work, and the guest room needed a new Roku. AMLVR was FANTASTIC to work with, but the owner of the condo refused to share their private WiFi password. I know this is a first world problem, but when you have a sick kiddo you’d like the WiFi to work. Otherwise, a great stay and will definitely work with AMLVR again (but I’ll book directly through them).

Just What I needed

I had a wonderful time on my stay. The unit had everything I needed to enjoy my stay and the proximity to the beach was fantastic. I hope to stay there again in the future!

Beach Potato

Condo was convenient to the beach, grocery store, and church. Sunrooms were nice but we missed an actual outdoor space such as a balcony. We are returning next year as we got used to sunrooms.

Great place to stay!

This place was such a nice place to say. Steps to the beach and the pool was great! The beach equipment was great to have as well. Condo was very clean and came with everything you need for the kitchen. We loved the two enclosed balconies. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

First off I would like to say I am not happy with the VRBO charge! I have been renting through this company and have never been charged before. I was told I would receive a credit but never did. Management company couldn’t tell me what it was for. Nor did VRBO explain the charge. Just greed. The condo was very close to a path to beach. It was great! Had an issue the whole time we were there with the heater broken on the pool so we were never able to use it. The management company did their to keep us up to date. Also, roof top deck needs a lot of repairs. We did enjoy out stay!

Very nice

Spacious, clean, updated condo in a wonderful location. Any issues were addressed immediately by the Agency - I would definitely work with them again. Only negative about the condo is that both decks are enclosed, with small sliding windows - so you don't feel like you have any outdoor space.

Perfect place except for 1 thing

My sister and I absolutely loved this apartment. It's nicely decorated, well stocked, has beautiful porches and is so conveniently located to amenities and the beach. Our only issue came a few days into our stay. At midnight, a family arrived in to the apartment upstairs. It sounded like they were moving furniture up there. There is NO noise buffer between the apartments. They had children and we could hear every little footstep as they ran from one end of the apartment to the other. The baby slept in the room above mine and I had to listen to it cry itself to sleep every night. This is no fault of the family. Just the way the building is built. But this is the ONLY reason I would not stay here again.

Very nice condo

Had a great stay here at Beach Potato. Exceptionally clean. Could have provided a few more basics like spices, cooking oil, coffee etc. We weren't told that there were beach type supplies that we could use. We discovered them for ourselves in a storage room down by the parking area. Please check this out before you buy. Some of those items were not in great shape and should probably be replaced. The pool was wonderful and we usually had it to ourselves. Beds were very comfortable. Thanks for the nice stay!

Beachside Getaway

Perfect. Location, size, furnishings, and ease of the island made our week long stay perfect! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was pretty well supplied. The walk to the beach was short and the pool was relaxing! We called the office because the air stopped running on Monday- they changed the filter while we were out and about and the unit was working perfectly upon our return. Thank you for the perfect getaway that our family needed. Booking was fast and easy.

Perfect Beach Stay

Rented this unit for one week with a friend. The pictures are very accurate. There is actually more than what is shown. A nice larger HD tv in the living room, a large stainless steel fridge. Beautifully remodeled bathrooms. Comfy sofas. Nicely appointed lanaiis, in-unit laundry, beach equipment storage area. We found most helpful the beach wagon. Although the beach umbrellas could use an update, one worked for us. The tvs all have Roku, and there is an Xbox connect. Steps away from the beach, less than a two minute walk. The access is private and the section of beach is clean and quiet compared to the public beach further down. Hose by carport to wash down feet and beach items was very useful. We didnt use the pool since the gulf was so calm and warm that week. The neighbors using the other units were all very friendly. I only have two very minor complaints. The mattresses and pillows in the second bedroom with the twin beds were very uncomfortable. I imagine it would not have bothered a 60lb kid but for a grown adult, it took a couple nights to get used to it. The pillows need a refresh. I travel with my own pillow cases and when switching I saw the yucky drool discoloration on the pillows that didnt have cases. Also, we paid for linen service and whatever service is used, they provide the worst towels I have ever encountered. The towel fibers pilled on your hands which is very obvious when you go to put on lotion. I couldn't towel dry my hair or body without getting a coating of fibers almost like fuzz all over my skin. I resigned myself to just air-drying. The beach towels were somewhat better in that they didn't pill but they were very thin and rough, not nice to lay out on the beach. The yucky towels and pillows were not enough to put a damper on what was otherwise a wonderful stay. I would def consider staying here again if the second bedroom had a full size bed or the couch was a pullout. I would make sure to leave room in my luggage for a bath towel and a beach towel. The unit is perfect for a family with two kids. All in all we had a wonderful stay and were very pleased with all other amenities, esp the cookware and dishes. A great location on the island! Thank you for providing a clean and relaxing home away from home!

Great Location on AMI

Beach Potato is located in the best spot of AMI. Close (120 steps) to the beach, a short walk to Publics, and the strip mall with many shops including Holy Cow Ice Cream! (Yum). The Condo is well appointed with plenty of room for four (4). The kitchen is well stocked with all the tools to meet your cooking needs. The ground floor storage area has all the beach supplies you will need. Our only “negative” comment, and it has been mentioned in other reviews, is the noise from the unit above. Due to the hard surface floors, you hear all the movement of the people upstairs. We have already booked and look forward to returning next year!

First time AMI, Found Perfect Location

This is a perfect location! The property has one home between it and the beach! The unit was very well maintained, nicely decorated and exceptionally cleaned. There were plenty basic essentials provided to get started and we left a few things as well like sandwich bags & garbage bags that may come in handy for other guests. We were pleasantly surprised to be provided with beach towels as part of the linen service; although had brought ours along, it would certainly help with packing lighter next time. Considering there is the washer and dryer available in the unit. The beds were comfortable, my sister and daughter constantly commented on how well theirs felt and that they slept well. We were unsure about what was available in the storage unit (which to be honest - I missed even seeing in the listing) so I had rented a beach cart, cooler, umbrella & chairs which were delivered before we arrive and I had picked up immediately on our last full day before departure. There is some noise from upstairs guests but nothing that isn't bearable - I would definitely deal with it considering this location! It is literally right behind Publix, CVS, Walgreens and multiple restaurants that you can walk to in a few minutes. During the week we walked and drove the area and decided this was the perfect location! (Yes I have to repeat that!) Be sure you eat early, we did and was back on the rooftop most nights around 8 to enjoy the view of the sunset. It's so much cooler around this time too and a nice way to spend the evening! We really enjoyed this rental and would definitely return if we chose to visit the area again!

Amazing!!! Loved it

We enjoyed our stay at beach potato so much. I cannot begin to explain how nice this condo is. The location is prime and perfect for families with young children. It is very close to the beach and was easy to go back and forth. It has a small pool but was never crowded. The condo does provide chairs, umbrellas, wagon, toys, all you need, even charcoal and lighter fluid. Inside my kids loved it so much. There is so much space inside, I was surprised as to the size. It was very clean and I loved the key code lock and unlock. The view on the roof top was priceless, just beautiful. The kitchen has everything you can think of that you would need, and you are provided with enough supplies to start you off. The bedrooms were so spacious and my kids loved the twin beds. Our main bedroom was so perfect, so very spacious and just so much room to spread out and drawers as well. The master bathroom is perfect, the new shower is amazing and we enjoyed it. I cannot say enough good things about this condo, I actually want to keep it our secret. I am already wanting to plan 2022 vacation here. Oh has covered parking which is good during rainstorms in flordia getting kids in and out. It is a quiet neighborhood which we loved. Also rental company did a great job keeping us informed during TS Elsa. I just cannot get over how great this condo was, perfect spot, spacious, and also comes with 2 lanai's with great outdoor furniture in each. Stay here, stop looking, you will be happy.
