We had a wonderful time at Once Upon A Beach—it was just what we needed and more! The cozy home was just a few steps from the beautiful AMI beach, making it truly memorable getaway. We’re already looking forward to staying again!
We loved our time at Casa Mariposa. Great location. The pool was warm and clean. The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Plenty of space (seating areas, tables, TVs), especially the screened-in balconies.
Our stay was pure bliss! The home is spectacular and has everything you could possibly need. The location couldn’t have been better! We cannot wait to come back and enjoy another amazing vacation here!
Our stay was awesome! The property is located on a quiet street just a few houses from the beach and easily walkable to several shops and restaurants. House was spacious for 5 people and all the rooms were comfortable. Lots of outdoor patio space upstairs and downstairs. Would definitely stay again next time visiting AMI
This house was beautiful and had everything you could want. The screened in porches and the breeze was heaven. The property was exactly as described. The pool was incredible, a tropical sanctuary!
AMI was gorgeous! The restaurants were great.
Wish we had more time. We will definitely be back!
True to its name, Casa. Mariposa sits on a treat and plant filled lot that can’t help but attract butterflies! The property was tastefully decorated and spotless. An added bonus was the lap pool and spa, both of which were welcome after a day in the sun. The entire process with the property manager, Once Upon a Beach, was seamless and stress free.
We stayed 7 days over holiday break with family. It was a wonderful stay, the property has everything you need and just a short walk to fun shops and the beach. I highly recommend this place! We plan to book again next year!
This house is so close to the beach that it made it easy for everyone staying in the house. The pool made for another great option. We also loved sitting in the screened in porches. The house was spacious enough for everyone to have privacy. We loved our stay.
This house is perfection. Beautiful furniture, several porches to relax on and a beautiful pool area. Fully stocked for trips to the beach. Loved it!!!

Everything you want and need
This location could not be better - so close to the beach and so close to Pine Ave shopping and restaurants. The home is beautiful and clean and has every amenity you could want and need. The property managers were responsive and helpful, too. We absolutely loved our stay and plan to return next year! Thank you!
This is our 9th year of Sarlo Family Thanksgiving which was almost cut out by Hurricane Ian. Thankfully we found 3 houses for our family, my Brothers family and In-laws!
The pictures did not reveal how spacious the upstairs was!
Loved our stay

Five Star House
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house! The grounds are well kept and smell amazing with all the different plants! The pool was perfect and the outdoor screened patios were so amazing!! Great equipment for all of your needs, kitchen was stocked perfectly!!! Location location location! You can walk or ride a bike anywhere you need to go on the island!! We will be back!!
We had our 3 kids & each brought a friend.: 2 college, 2 high school, & 2 middle school. House was well appointed and had everything we needed. 1 block from the beach made it easy going back and forth. Would definitely rent again.
Our family vacationed here for the week. The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the beach or nearby shops and restaurants. We traveled with small children and cooked almost every meal at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals which was nice. The pool house was filled with toys, beach chairs, bicycles, and more for outdoor fun. Another plus were the screened in porches which gave us additional room to enjoy the outdoors insect free. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Mariposa!
The property is tucked away behind slightly overgrown landscaping but when you get inside you fall in love with the house. The "great room" is massive and great for large families and the kitchen is fully appointed with every appliance you could need. The pool is heated and perfect for small kids and has a build in heated/jetted spa. The property manager team is very easy to get ahold of and bends over backwards to help you with any issues that pop up. Last but not least, the location is amazing. You're just a few houses away from the beach and Pine Ave--where all the shops are located. We will definitely be staying here again if its available!
