Guest Reviews

My family spent a week at Sail Away over Christmas and it did not disappoint! The home and amenities are exactly as pictured and then some. As we were one of the first renters at this new construction house, there were no reviews written yet so we took a chance - and we are 100% glad that we did. Sail Away had plenty of space for our party of 8. The elevator to all 3 floors was a huge bonus for my older parents and made accessing all parts of the home easier for them. The biggest asset of Sail Away, in my opinion, is the gorgeous outdoor area. Although the weather was not the greatest, the heated pool and hot tub were in use constantly, as was the pool table on the 2nd floor. We also spent a lot of time fishing off the dock in the back of the house and the canal seemed to be jumping with bass, sheephead and mullet fish. Since it is new construction, of course there is always a punch list of things that still need to be fixed. We couldn't use the outdoor fire pit because the drain next to it was not working, so there was always 2-3 inches of standing water. There were some other issues but AMI Locals was very responsive when we reached out to them to fix something. We have rented on AMI before in Holmes Beach, but this area was so much more accessible to the Pine Street restaurants/shops, etc. Everything was walking distance from Sail Away, or a short golf cart ride if you rented one. Having rented many homes through AirBnB, VRBO and local agencies, I would definitely rent Sail Away again and would have no reservations about recommending AMI Locals. They even provided a little Christmas tree for us since we had traveled from out of state - very nice touch and much appreciated!
