Terrific place!

We really enjoyed our weekend stay!! The cottage is super clean and cute! Backyard sitting in the evenings is the best. The cottage has everything you need, just bring a bathing suit!! Beds are comfortable, we slept very well. Close to the beach, restaurants and shops. This was my first trip to AMI but it won’t be my last and I’d definitely stay here again.

Quick beach break

This cottage is just as described. New appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. Lots of towels, two king beds with excellent mattresses, and a large back yard with lounge chairs, a grill and comfy screened porch. Contact with and instructions from the hostess were outstanding. Easy walk to the beach and several excellent restaurants.

Phenomenal location & owner

Cindy was the best host we’ve ever encountered. She is so accommodating and communicative. She made our trip so easy! The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk to the beach or the bay, a couple blocks over from all of the shopping and restaurants on Pine Street and just down the street from a trolley stop. She has all the amenities for making the beach trip easy & comfortable…a wagon to hold the chairs, an umbrella, a cooler and all of your bags. I would highly recommend!

Had a great stay, was only there for 2 nights, wish we could have stayed more. Home very clean, stocked with everything you would need. Great location, short walk to beach, pier and many places to eat. Free trolley stop is down the block and a great way to get around the island. Hoping to come back and stay again.
