Diamond in the Palms

This was a lovely house, secluded among the palm trees. We loved the layout of this house, loved the screened porch, loved the easy walk to the beach, and loved the pool. We made fun of the garden cart the first day but after using it to get all the gear to the beach, I quickly apologized to it, in case it had feelings...best cart ever!

Amazing & Close to Beach

This is a really beautiful home only a few doors down from the beach. It is amazing, quiet, clean, relaxing....I can't say enough good things about the people managing the property too. If any little thing is wrong, they are there to fix it quickly. This is our second year of renting from them (different house) and we're looking to find another house for next year. You can't go wrong renting this home, it's really comfortable and so convenient to the beach.

Great weekend

We had a nice long weekend! The house was very nice, clean and well equipped. Pool was great as well. The only "thing" I would mention is that you can't really fit 2 cars in the drive way (unless they are very small). We got a parking ticket because one of the cars was not entirely inside the driveway.

Not ideal

The pictures are much nicer than the house itself. Parking was not for 2 SUV size vehicles, you don't need a golf cart because there is nowhere to park it. The stairs from the screened in porch are half rotten, the pool was over chlorinated, it had rained earlier in the day and was serviced as we sat there and were then told we couldn't swim in it until the next afternoon, so that was great with 4 children, several light bulbs were out, the spare bathroom was not cleaned well, duvets had some stains, several soft spots in the flooring, outdoor string lights don't work, foliage is overgrown making it difficult to navigate in and out of your car door, the air vent in the queen bedroom dripped water right on my head at about 10pm every night. The maintenance man arrived to put a lock on the gate while we were there to meet their "code" before inspection which further pushed our cars to the sidewalk and at risk for more tickets. The attention to detail in this home is lacking, it is not impressive for the amount of money paid. There were some old shorts left in the kids room closet from a previous guest. The washing machine needs to be cleaned and given maintenance because it smells of mold and you can see mold growing as you can with most front loading machines. The young lady in the office has been polite and nice to deal with but she is simply the messenger to the owners on Once Upon a Beach Rentals, the owners are the decision makers.

Fell short of expectations

Even though our family enjoyed our stay in AMI the overall experience of the rental fell short of our expectations. Just like the previous reviewer mentioned the pictures do not depict reality and already pointed out some of the issues. The overall feel of the house is tired and worn; old furniture with scuff marks, old appliances, refrigerator with dents on the doors, worn chipped Teflon/Ceramic pans, nonfunctioning toaster, stained bed sheets, bleached spots on seat covers of dining room chairs, dust on the plastic plants in the living room, dust on the ceiling fans. walls that are chipped. When you are paying a premium, you expect much more attention to detail.

Phenomenal Place Very Close to Beach

This property was amazing and had everything we wanted in a house for vacation. It was a very short walk to the beach ... maybe 5 minutes or less. The house was well equipped with everything you need for the beach including chairs, HUGE beach cart, plenty of chairs, boogie boards, and so much more. The pool was very awesome! Half of the pool is under the house for rainy days and it was very clean. Chairs to lay out by the pool were adorned with pillows. The rooms were very spacious and decorated very nicely. The back porch was screened in to keep you from the mosquitoes and was very nice to watch the storms. This section of the beach was never too busy and plenty of space to set up your beach equipment. We could have used a few more items in the kitchen but we made it through the week with no issues at all. The only thing that is quite inconvenient was the door alarm that would not stop buzzing one night. I would suggest putting a child gate at the bottom the stairs or some other safety measure for children. This buzzer was very aggravating as you has to hit a disable button every time you went in and out of the door. If you did not close the door in a few seconds it would loudly buzz. This was not a game changer for our vacation. If you want an awesome house steps from the beach then pick this home. We had an awesome week and will be back!
