Great location! Beautiful quiet home with a great view of Cortez Bay. Very nice pool & spa. Caught a lot of fish off of the dock. 3 minute walk to the beach. Short walk to the shops and restaurants on Bridge Street. Would definitely stay again!

The house was perfect for our needs! It was extremely clean, each bedroom having it's own bathroom was key for us. The only downside is that the elevator wasn't working although we were made aware of that about a week before our arrival. The management company checked in with me often and was very responsive to any questions. I highly recommend this property.

We’re so happy that Tropic Like It’s Hot of AMI Locals was just what you needed, Beth! Clean spaces, private bathrooms, and responsive check-ins make for a smooth island stay—thanks for noting the elevator heads-up, too. We really appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for more fun in the sun!

We had an amazing stay at Tropic Like It’s Hot! The house was beautiful, spacious, and perfect for our group of 10. The location couldn’t be better — steps from the beach with a great pool and plenty of space for everyone to relax.Like any rental, a couple of small things came up (the elevator and hot tub), but what impressed us most was how quickly and professionally AMI Locals responded. That level of service is worth more than perfection — it made us feel taken care of and let us truly relax.Travelers should know: you’re in excellent hands here. The property delivers everything you see in the photos and more, and the team behind it goes above and beyond. We left with nothing but great memories and can’t wait to come back!
