Great AMI family beach house

Blue Haven was a really nice AMI/Holmes Beach beach house. It was as described - close to the beach, full of amenities and enough rooms to comfortably fit our family. Pool was clean and warm and the patio was well maintained.

Amazing trip!

The house was absolutely stunning with loads of space for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. We especially enjoyed the outdoor TV to watch sports while outside. The location is perfect with the house being on a quiet street with the beach a 2 mins walk away and stops for the trolley also a 2 mins walk away.

Great time at Blue Haven

Blue Haven is such a great house! The proximity to the beach was just as described and so easy! We joked that they should call it the Blue Straight Shot! The only criticism I have is that some of the kitchen resources were sparse. Utensils need to be restocked and things like a working can opener, etc. were needed. Thankfully, we’d just so happened to have brought one. But I’m sure just with this review that those issues will be resolved. Owners were SO quick to respond to any issue (two broken beach chairs and the closet door popped off the track). The chairs were replaced within hours and the closet door was fixed quickly as well. I’d recommend this house and these owners for sure!

Major Demolition Near This House

Overall, this house is a good vacation rental but we were very displeased by the management company's failure to tell us there would be major demolition one house away during our stay. For the first 3 days of our vacation there were crews tearing down a property and ripping out large trees in the lot one house to the right. Not only was it incredibly loud from 8 am until evening, but the entire house shook all day from the work being done in the ground. I've never experienced anything like it. We were traveling with a 4 month old who naps half the day so not ideal. When I reached out to the management company about our concerns, their response was that they were "confident in the city's noise ordinance timeframes" and did not know how long the demolition would go on. Not very helpful. Luckily the crews didn't work on Saturday and Sunday so we had peace and quiet for two days. This property should be discounted or management should be transparent about the work being done nearby. That lot is now vacant and I imagine it will have a house built on it next. I would advise future vacationers to take the noise level of possible construction into consideration

Perfect vacation!

Blue Haven was exactly as pictured! Perfect location and a VERY short walk to the beach. We loved the ping pong table downstairs and the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We will definitely be returning!
