Beautiful house close to the beach
There were 8 in our group. 2 families of 4- kids age 9-16. It is off the main road but honestly it didn’t bother us. We didn’t sit on the porch much because it was too hot. You didn’t hear the noise inside the house. The house was plenty big enough for us. We had the starter packs to begin with. Publix and the dollar tree are super close if you needed anything. The beach is a block from the house. So 5 minutes and you are walking in the ocean! There is a spiral staircase that leads from the back door in the kitchen down to the pool. You can walk downstairs and there is a door that leads outside to pool too. Just wanted to add that just in case. We had no issues with it. The pool was amazing after coming back from the beach to chill. The hot tub was awesome too my husband would say the best part. 😎Check in/out was simple. No crazy checkout rules. All in all a wonderful vacation and we all loved this house.

Great property, great location close to the beach.
Great overall experience. The property is steps away from the beach and at a nice location very close to the entrance of the island. The pool and hot tub along with outdoor seating was great. We had issues with our A/C and an appliance, and property managers were very responsive to fix these issues during our stay. This property is right along the main road in and out of AMI, so there is a bit of road noise, but it didn’t negatively affect our stay.

Beautiful beach location house
Good location near beach, but busy street with emergency vehicles every so often annoying. Need to supply more necessities like toilet paper, paper towels, pods for dishwasher etc. Had start up problems of tv remote not working, garbage disposal, and toilets not working. Maintenance workers did show up to fix. Hot tub temperature too hot

One block to the beach which was awesome. The house is very nice with all the amenities. There was a problem with the hot tub and the maintenance staff worked very hard to rectify. The staff was excellent. Bathroom with each bedroom was nice so everyone felt like they had a suite. On a busy street with lots of traffic. Location to beach and all there is to do made that ok with us.

Perfect Family Vacation
For Shore was perfect for our family of 9 (5 adults, 4 kiddos). The open living/kitchen/dining area was a great space for all of us at the beginning and end of every day. The bonus was how kid-friendly the furnishings were which eliminated any concern and worries having curious and touchy toddlers! The outside space (dining/seating/bar/pool) is great as well. The only miss this builder/owner had was not putting a bathroom in the garage space ground level. We hit a couple bumps at the very beginning of our stay, but Sato Real Estate was incredibly responsive to our issues and extremely accommodating. You may notice a review or two mentioned road noise - yes Gulf Drive is busy but it was never annoying or interrupted anyones sleep. A positive was that there is a trolley stop, both north and south, right outside the door. Yes, you can indeed see the Gulf from the balconies and it’s a mere 3-4 minute walk and you’re on the path to the beautiful beach. Thanks again Josh @ Sato,we really enjoyed our stay!

Great vacay at the beach
Great experience overall. Simple walk to the beach (2 blocks), amazing private pool and nice neighborhood. Only "negative", due to traffic on the main road (located next to the house) you get some noise, but nothing major. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Great location to beach
House was very nice. Location to the beach was awesome but to close to busy noisy Gulf Drive. Pool and outdoor was great but sun not on pool this time of year. Wish there was an elevator and better pans for cooking and need plastic bowls and plates for the pool area.

House is very nice and obviously built for groups to stay in.
We used the hot tub and pool daily, and the area below the deck was really nice with all the furniture. The sleeping arrangements are great for groups, however the pillows in this location desperately need to be replaced. The information on the property leads renters to believe it is closer to the beach than it actually is, and you cannot see the beach at all from the house. it is up the road and about a 5 minute walk. There are chairs and an umbrella in the garage we used, which was really nice because we almost hired a company to bring them. Overall, the house was really spacious and we had tons of room and didn't feel crowded with our family of 8 staying there. It was really comfortable (except the pillows on the beds).

Great Property!
My family had a ball at this beautiful house. The beach was right down the street and the pool and hot tub were used every day of our stay. My only criticism is the grill. For such a high end house, the grill was very low end, dirty and unusable. We wanted to grill but at the last minute discovered that the starter was broken. Our dinner plans went out the window as we had no matches or lighter. Also, the kitchen is not well stocked with cooking tools if you want to make your meals here. For example, no big pot for spaghetti! Cooking utensils were minimal. I guess most guests do not do much cooking. However, this is still a five star property, and our stay here was very enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was clean and organized when we got there. Pros: - cleanliness - comfort in rooms and living room (my room was the blue room which was gorgeous!) -bathrooms were really nice (you can tell they were upgraded) -walking distance to the beach (no more than 2 min walking) -pool and jacuzzi (nice space around the pool area to sit and relax) - spacious kitchen Cons: - the kitchen had labels of where things were supposed fo go however, there were a lot of items missing, not sure what happened. -the pool was freezing. We had told the manager and they did send someone however, they didn’t measure the temperature the best way. The post said the pool was heated. - We didn’t have neighbors on our left however, if they were ppl there it would have been really close. (We we’re happy that there wasn’t anyone there) Overall: We enjoyed our stay and would return! I hope this was informative for others. :)
