The location is nearly as perfect as you can get - just a few houses and a short walk to the beach, super close to the north end of the island, and also an easy bike ride to beaches and restaurants and grocery store to the south. The host is very helpful, which made it even easier for us to enjoy our stay. A great place!
Dean - Posted: 3/14/2026
So glad you enjoyed your stay—thank you, Dean! Lay’By, Too by AMI Locals really is in a sweet spot on the island, just a quick stroll to the beach and an easy ride up to the north end or down to shops and restaurants. It makes getting around AMI so easy. We’re happy our team could help make your stay smooth and relaxing. Hope we get to welcome you back for another island getaway soon!

The 4 bedrooms, outside living areas and pool make for a very comfortable stay. It’s nice being close to the beach and the free island trolley.

We had an amazing week! The home was stocked and so cozy. Less than a block to the beach. Had all the necessities for a perfect beach vacation.

The location is really good, you can walk to the beach without crossing roads. House needs a little bit of love but nothing major, I believe everyone will like it! Just keep in mind maintenance people can show up without warning and that might be a little concerning for privacy in general

Location is impossible to beat!!
The house was cozy and very cute! The pool was also very nice. The location was fantastic! The beach is so beautiful and you could walk for miles without running into large crowds no matter what time of the day you went. The sunsets were stunning!

Peaceful Rejuvenation
We had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed the property. The location and proximity to the beach was priceless and the private pool was perfect for when we didn't feel like dealing with other people or the sand. The property was clean and extremely comfortable.
Joshua H. - Posted: 5/10/2021
Thank you so much Joshua for your recent vacay with us! Love hearing you enjoyed the cozy beach house with the pool literally steps from your back door. Hopefully we'll see you next year and get the opportunity to hosting you again!

So close to the beach
This house is so close to the beach! What a bang for our buck... We didn't need a super big house this year since it was just our family and I am very happy with our choice. It is nicely appointed on the inside and great outdoor spaces as well, but we have never stayed in a house this close to the beach! Loaded up the beach chairs and towels in the wagon (all came with the house) and 2 minutes later we were laying on the beach enjoying the therapeutic Florida sunshine... just great! Already booked it again for Summer and the entire family can't wait!
Lindsy K. - Posted: 1/31/2021
Thanks, Lindsy! We are so happy you thoroughly enjoyed Lay'By, Too and its close proximity to the beach. Can't wait to host you back again in the summer!
