Awesome view

In a great location. The view over the bay was awesome. We saw so much wildlife. Every morning we would have visitors. Either birds or raccoons! So close to the beach and easy walking around the island. Very quiet neighbourhood. Everything you need in the house. Access to beach chairs, umbrellas bikes and everything you need for a day at the beach. Had an amazing time. Would definitely book again. Thank you.

The condo was beautiful and very well maintained. We woke up watching the sunrise each day and being greeted by ibis' and egrets. It's only a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The realtor was incredibly helpful and checked in on us during the week to see if there was anything else they could do. Our week was absolutely wonderful.

Nice place to stay

The condo was nice and there were plenty of beach towels and beach gear for the kids. We really enjoyed watching the wildlife out the patio door looking over the inland waters. The weather isn't always fabulous for beach days this time of year so it was nice to have pool to fall back on for an activity for the kids. My only criticism is that the kitchen was not very well stocked for cooking for a larger group of people and I was disappointed in the lack of pantry staples. There were literally none so that was an added expense to our trip that we weren't planning on. The same goes for laundry soap, dishwasher soap, bathroom supplies, etc. I have stayed in other places that were very well stocked so this was disappointing. Otherwise, our stay was comfortable and as expected. (Also note, there is no "hot tub," simply a bathtub.)

Perfect Getaway on AMI

Our stay exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful experience, from the owner's hospitality to the ease of check-in to the cleanliness that was evident the moment we entered. We chose this unit for the view of the Bay, the close proximity to the white sandy beach and the amenities, especially the pool. We were not disappointed! The unit is updated with modern appliances, accommodations and comfortable beds. The pull-out couch was equally comfortable. The AC works great and kept us plenty cool. Another thing that we noticed was that when the trash was collected in the complex, we didn't hear any noise. And the lawn maintenance was not an interruption. We especially appreciated the way the owner provided great information and communication leading up to our stay. He has thought of the small details like extra hooks for towels/clothes on the bathroom door and inside the foyer. The utility room off the patio has everything you need. We used the sun-shield tent every day on the beach and the beach cart was an added bonus! Finally, the view of the bay was inspirational, with gorgeous sunrises and placid waters in the evenings. We got to see egrets, blue heron and other wildlife right from our patio. We also spotted dolphins and manatee. We are grateful for such a home away from home!

Home from home

The property was lovely, great location with the back patio facing the bay side, which allowed us views of the amazing sunrises, manatees, dolphins, herons and other birds, racer snakes, boats. We were also really lucky with the weather, sunshine and clear skies every day. The property is well maintained and stocked with everything we needed including a moka coffee pot, which we used daily for our espressos! Everything worked well and was kitchen had all modern white goods. We felt very comfortable straight away. We did have an issue with one door (not urgent at all), but Pierluigi and Wagner Realty were amazing and sorted it out within 15 minutes. I was very impressed! Facilities on site were also good, we used the pool numerous times and everything outside was well maintained. Nearly every day there were gardeners and such tidying borders, cutting grass, trimming trees etc. Although the condo is on the back of the complex, it's only a 4 minute walk to the beach, so we also enjoyed many sunsets, so we really had the best of both worlds. We'd definitely stay here again (this was our 5th visit to Runaway Bay).

Lovely time at Runaway Bay

This was our third visit to Runaway Bay and these accommodations were the best. This unit has a tremendous bay view, just spectacular. And it comes with friendly shore birds. We had not seen a yellow crowned night heron before. Everything we needed was there. Everything was comfortable. We appreciated being invited to participate in some of the owner convention activities. There was a problem that arose with an appliance about a week into our two week stay. That, of course, is never what the customer wants to have happen. And it could have been a terrible experience because of that. But the owner and property management company (Wagner Realty) were both super responsive and active in making arrangements for the situation. I was so grateful for their concern, problem solving and accommodation for the problem. This experience certainly makes me more trusting of this particular owner and Wagner Realty (special kudos to Cindy). We look forward to our next visit.

Love AMI

This was our first visit to AMI and it did not disappoint. The location of the condo is perfect! Very private and quiet. The king size bed is very nice! The view from the back of the condo is beautiful. The ice maker really needs fixed! We are a family of 5 who packs food/drinks every day for the beach. We really rely on ice at our rental. Two ice trays don’t cut it! While the pool is very well maintained, the closing at 8:00 is a bit much. The older gentleman that come to the pool area at 7:15 are a bit much. They constantly watched everything going on. It was very uncomfortable & made you feel like you were doing something wrong when you weren’t. They started putting down umbrellas and chairs around 7:30. And they told anyone who walked in the pool area after 7:00 that the pool closed in 1 hour— making it seem like you shouldn’t even bother getting in. When you pay this amount of money to stay somewhere we should be able to swim right up until 8:00 even if we arrive in the pool area at 7:50!! We saw MANY pools open on the island after 8:00. Having kids on vacation makes it difficult when they are done with the ocean but the pool closes way before dark. The white doors and trim in the condo could definitely use some fresh paint. The 2 ceiling fans need dusted desperately! The air return door where the furnace is has a very thick layer of dust on it & around it. Fishing at the resort was disappointing, however there is a pier up the road you can fish off for free. Be prepared to bring extra garbage bags and toilet paper! We were able to cook at the condo. Everything we needed for cooking was supplied. Owner was very nice and easy to deal with as was Wagner Reality.

Great Condo/ Great Location

We loved this condo. The view of the bay from the living room sliding glass door was so peaceful and beautiful. Sunrises were AMAZING. We had a manatee hang out right outside the condo for an entire day... spotted dolphins, boats, pelicans, and birds galore! I'd definitely recommend this particular unit to others. Nice bedroom furniture, nice (bigger) kitchen table. The ONLY thing I did not like is the master bath shower. It is one piece of glass and the shower remains open (no sliding door to close). Water escaped out onto the bathroom floor with every shower but a towel fixed the issue.
