Location to beach and dining perfect
Classic seaside cottage with rooms for two families plus mom. Outdoor cabana served as master for CA couple and three bedrooms gave parents and ‘nana with three under 9 lots of choices. Well- stocked kitchen tools and beach chairs and toys with plenty of towels. Don’t expect fancy just trust charm and comfort!

Clearwater Beach house
Location is super!! Steps from the beach and maybe 5 minute walk to everything Clearwater. Guest house is cute. House needs some updating. The AC had an issue while we were there so I messaged property manager and within couple hours they had someone there to fix it. Overall an ok place to stay.

Location, location, location!!!
Our stay was wonderful! The location was its selling point. You could walk to the beach which was only feet away as well as walk downtown for restaurants and shopping. The heated pool was great and the beds were incredibly comfortable! There was plenty of room for our family of 5 and the guest house was beautiful and convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute little property with AMAZING location!
This property was perfect for our two families. The main house had three bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. The pool house had a bedroom/living room area with a bathroom. Our two families had a total of 4 adults, 3 teens, and 4 kids. The kids loved the pool. Everyone loved the close proximity to the beach. The property had lots of different kitchen items for cooking. There was a small building with a washer and dryer. This building also had beach chairs, beach umbrella and a wagon to take things to the beach. The house had both regular towels and pool towels. There were multiple hair dryers, fans for the rooms, and even a pack n play. The front door was missing the door handle which needs to be fixed but didn't bother us much. We just made sure the door was locked when not in use. The property manager was in good communication with us the entire stay. We didn't have any major problems. The house just needs a little TLC but other than that it was a great property with an amazing location.

AMAZING location and accommodation!
We truly loved this beach house! It has everything you need plus much more! The beds are extremely comfortable, and you are just steps to the beach! Arrival was easy, and no issues with check-in or entry. The pool heated for us to an amazing temperature to be able to swim in February! We booked this house to celebrate my 40th birthday, and I was not disappointed! We read the previous reviews about certain supplies only being a few items, and so we prepared but otherwise you have more than what you need! The bathrooms are clean, and the location simply cannot be beat. Less than a mile walk from Clearwater Beach and the pier. We look forward to booking this home again!

This property cannot get any closer to the beach! The prime location allows for easy walking to bars, restaurants, and shops. During our stay our family enjoyed the heated pool and grilling in the backyard.

Disaster!
I’m still trying to resolve an issue with this property, they do NOT respond. We stayed Mon-Fri and informed them Mon the pool was dirty, it wasn’t cleaned until Thursday. We were unable to use the guest house at all because there were 40+ horse flies inside. I took a video and sent it to them, they claimed they would send someone and never did. There are 4 large trash cans outside and all were overflowing and one was covered in maggots. The sofa is quite stained. My stay ended 2 weeks ago and I’m still trying to get reimburse for the complete inability to use the pool or the guest house. The only thing that saved this vacation is that this place is steps away from the beach.

Do NOT STAY HERE!
When we first arrived it was dark out and the keypad to the door was broke. We had to call the emergency line several times before someone helped us find a spare key after searching with them on the phone for over an hour. The front door knob came off in my daughters hand from the inside once we were in and we had to sleep with the house not secured for the first night. The only reason we picked this cottage was because we wanted a private pool. Well the pool was not in working order. The filter, pump, and heater were off and broken. The pool was filthy on the bottom with garbage and piles of dirt and leaves. The top of the pool was no better. I asked for a skimmer because there wasn’t any and that never arrived. I called abs texted several times during our stay to complain about the pool conditions. No one responded. However, they did send someone out to fix the door and he had no work order for the pool. The gentleman that worked for AML rentals told me they have completely abandoned this property since all their other properties were an hour away. He took one look at the poool and said “wow you should complain”. The guest house had ants allover the bed so we didn’t utilize that either and the washer and dryer did not work. The house is is a dump and completely falling apart. It does not look like the pictures and the host does not care whatsoever about you. They never apologized about the pool, they just kept promising someone would be out. No one ever came.
