Caribbean Reef

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a 5-6 min walk to the beach which wasn’t bad at all. They had chairs available to use which was great. A kit was provided in each bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bath soap as well as some kitchen supplies (kitchen sponge, trash bags, and paper towels. There were only 2 washcloths in each bathroom so I’d recommend bringing additional washcloths or a loofa. There are no flood lights on the outside of the unit, just a small light on the porch and by the front door. A little hard to see at night when taking out our dogs, but wasn’t a big issue. Check in process and check out process went smoothly. Would stay again.

Nice, spacious home. Pool/backyard is even better than pictured and completely private. Easy 2.5 block walk to the beach. Friendly customer service.

We had a wonderful time! The place was very clean and beautiful.?The pool was beautiful and you felt like you were in your own private retreat. The pool was great because we had 2 children under 2 who really enjoyed it. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad from the house and they had a cart you could use to carry all your stuff to the beach. I would highly recommend this house. It’s so luscious and green and very clean. Thank you!!

Tho solace was perfect for our family. Easy to walk to basically anything and super close to the beach. We will stay here again in the future. Thank you for a perfect vacation. The discount for Zoomaround golf carts was nice for them to drop off and pick up as we thoroughly enjoyed our golf cart all week.

It’s wonderful to hear that The Solace was just what you needed for a great family vacation! 🏖️ From the easy beach access to the golf cart convenience, it sounds like everything was spot on. Thank you for the great review and for mentioning the Zoomaround discount. We can’t wait to have you back for another amazing stay, Shannon! 🥳

The house was well equipped and lovely decor. We loved the pool! We were a 4 minute walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart which I highly recommend. You can load your gear and find parking right by the beach access.. or use a wagon or walk or bike. Was very close. If you book through the property manager link it will save you the delivery fee. AMI locals sent us I for Action as promised and checked in several times. Appreciated the attentiveness. Would highly recommend this property. They provided a nice little start up kit of things you need. We had an amazing time and would go back again in the future! Thanks for a lovely stay!!

We had a great stay at Caribbean Reef. This almost never happens but the house was even better than pictured. The pool was a great alternative to the beach for quick dips or on chilly days. The kitchen was well equipped for a week stay with good cookware and knives, even a crockpot and griddle. Barbecue was clean and worked great, oven was sparklingly clean. The rental company was responsive and accommodating when we had a late flight on checkout day. Next time I’ll plan better and bring my own soap and dishwasher detergent as the rental comes with a tiny amount. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back to this house again!

Loved the private, heated pool and BBQ - used both pretty much every day. Ate almost all our meals at the outside table overlooking the pool. House well kitted out and well located for beach access, as well as close to the trolley for our daily trip up to Dips for their excellent ice cream!
A drying line or clothes horse would have been nice but they do have a washer-dryer and hanging stuff on clothes hangars on the balcony worked for the rest!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location. It is not far from the beach. The pool was nice to come back and relax in after a morning at the beach. It was perfect size for our family of 4. We would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing gem! I can't wait to come back to this rental again. It's extremely spacious, private and we loved every bit of it. We'd have coffee every morning out back on the lovely veranda, the pool was private and the perfect size and the back yard nicely manicured. Having the chairs and buggy were wonderful, it saved room in the car. Everyone the ladies at AMI locals were very kind, professional and we enjoyed working with them. We worked with their concierge to rent bikes, they were delivered the next day. The location to the dog park was excellent. I really did not want to leave this rental, this was a very relaxing vacation. Thank you for all that you did for us in this rental, we would love to return one day for a staycation very soon.

The house was even better in person than the pictures which says a lot . Everything was well maintained, pool was always warm and overall this was a great place for a holiday week stay. The beautiful beach is within walking distance and there are chairs and towels and a wagon which is very helpful for beach days. Any time we had any questions or small issues, the AMI concierge was responsive and helpful. If you want a golf cart for local trips, you should ask Concierge to help. We were able to rent for a week and it was very helpful getting around the island. Again, Highly recommend this home!

This was our first experience renting through VRBO, and it was our first time in Ana Maria Island after a colleague recommendation… Highly recommend visit this beautiful place, and we hope to return again soon! The rental process was super easy, and they even accommodated our request to extend our stay upon arrival due to have beautiful this home is! The house was clean, and it had the amenities we needed for the week. We drove down with a toddler and an infant to reduce our potential for Covid exposures, and the yard with private pool was ideal for our little guy to jump and swim in. The beach was also a three minute walk from the home, and the wagon and beach chairs provided by the host mean for easy transport with kids to relax on the beach as well.

Very attentive and quick responses.

Maureen - Posted: 12/19/2020

We needed to get the heck out of Michigan for a bit and this place delivered! We decided last minute (like booked 3 days before we left) that we were heading back to AMI. House was great, had everything we needed from bottle openers to kitchen towels! The master bed wasn’t super comfy, but whatever. I just took a nap in the sun later in the day! Haha! We’ll be back!

Patti V. - Posted: 12/5/2020

Great stay. 5 minute walk to the beach. There is a beach cart with chairs which make it very easy to make a trip to the beach. The grill was great. Pool was heated to 86 degrees. No mosquitoes. Parking for two cars. Keypad for entry/exit was easy to use. Nice location on the island overall to explore in either direction.
Tons of great supplies in the kitchen but here are some more packing tips if you plan to cook or grill. Packing tips/needs : Pot Holder , grill tools , no Kuerig (traditional coffee maker). Cooler for the beach , beach umbrella.
We would certainly book this exact unit again without hesitation.
