Stayed on AMI several times, highly recommend area & renting a house if possible. We've always used VRBO/Homeaway, this is the 1st renting from a property management company on AMI.
Pros: North of Pine is sleepier & would recommend over closer to Holmes Beach, area is great. Lot is small (large for AMI), they have done an excellent job of growing plants to create privacy in pool area. Pool and outdoor seating are great! Decor in home is nice, not the largest we stayed in but met the purpose.
Cons: The AC had an override governor so tmp stayed at 73 or above entire trip, although it could be set down to 72 it never stayed down. When paying this rate for a home you own should have the ability to use the thermostat, have never seen that and have stayed at larger homes that HVAC cost concerns. Made the trip uncomfortable. Check in process required you stop at office & was told I would need to "grab a key," said I've been several times & did I have to stop, told yes. Always have access codes, while office is on beautiful Pine Ave parking is a mess, had to leave the family in the car & walk, wait in line on a Saturday, only to find they gave me a key code. Very inconvenient & no benefit to the guest, they claimed people aren't familiar w/ AMI so they like to intro but been there before, nothing really to explain.
Amenities are not like private VRBO rentals. While they met the bare minimum for the kitchen items as an example, dish ware was limited, cheap and gourmet cooking items not available. Made cooking throughout the week more challenging than usual, private VRBO homes have been heavily stocked when homes are this size in past. As noted in other reviews, furniture in rooms & general details were not above and beyond, minimalistic check the box.
Overall great area, decent home, wonderful pool, unnecessary check in process, house could be better stocked, AC policy is uncomfortable, but the house is priced decently compared to others so perhaps you get what you pay for.
