those for you.
Remember we are laid back and on Island time - Flip-flops and shorts are ok for breakfast, lunch and
dinner no need to overpack you will most likely be in your cutest bathing suit or bikini anyways.

The house was pristine and well equipped including beach chairs, umbrella and wagon to carry beach items. Pool clean and plenty of chairs around the pool. The only disappointment was that the beach access was 3-4 blocks from the house.

Great time

Great time, great place. Nice location close to everything. Pool was cleaned twice a week that is nice. Just please figure something out with the sliding door to the pool: the door with the handle doesn't work, but the other door that is working doesn't have a handle (it was very inconvenient to use it). That was frustrating

Beautiful home but not a single home

The house is roomy and really pretty. It was not clear to me that this was not a single house l. It is connected to another home. The utensils, cookware need to be updated and we could have used more linens. The family staying next store had two dogs that barked all day and fought with each other. They were super noisy. Nice place to stay if you don’t mind noise and the potential for barking dogs.

Nice stay

Beautiful spacious home. Nice kitchen. Lots of clean towels. Loved having washer and drier available. Kid friendly. Nice bedding and pillows. Check in was so easy with the door code. Small walk to the beach. Pool had a lot of debris from trees. We contacted the pool company and they said they no longer cared for it. We cleaned it ourselves.

A little disappointing but location was great

Cons: No broom at all-$1 mop in house-toilet tissue was sandpaper cheap-( bring your own)- extremely limited pots/pans of low quality cheaply made-pool is smaller than what photos indicate-very limited area outdoor with no covering for outdoor dining-walls in house extremely THIN can hear everything from other rooms and the other half of the unit. Unit needs maintenance for ceiling damage and paint on cabinets worn-limited den seating-tiny outdoor rocks arent ideal near pool-umbrella was broken-extremely limited towels, washcloths etc Pros- Excellent location for restaurants- ac works great until about 10pm then goes to 75 with programming which was frustrating. Soundbar was nice on den tv. Would NOT rent this again

Great location but needs some updates.

The property was in a great location, clean and comfortable.The downside is the pool and SPA. They turned off the heater and since it only warms up at a half degree per hour we could not use it for the first two days it was to cold. The SPA was even worst, although they list it as a SPA and Hot Tub you can't run the jets when the heater is on, in fact the blower didn't work at all and had to be replaced. Rent for the location but not the Pool and SPA. Josh

Pool was dirty. TV was hard to operate.

House could use extra trash bags, paper towels, paper plates and plastic cups for the pool. The yard could use extra dirt and mulch around the fence for small dogs. We had to use the pool furniture to block the fence gaps. Furniture and fixtures were okay. Missing towel racks and toilet paper holder in hallway bathroom. Very clean interior but plates were chipped and pots left a lot to be desired. We will look for another property next time.

Had a great time

The home worked well for my family of six adults. The home was clean and the space was as described. It felt beachy- loved the decor. Plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the spa and pool, along with the short walk to the beach. Small things I did not particularly like: I thought the Sonos system meant we could play our own music, but could only choose from a list - no big deal. We were too busy doing other things. The spa needs a less complicated running system. If it just had an “on/off” button, that would help. Large open kitchen/dining/Livingroom area provided many wonderful family gatherings and meals together. All family members enjoyed their time here. Hosts were responsive always and friendly. Would definitely rent from them again.

Beach time Bliss

A wonderful rental! This was our first post covid vacation so cleanliness was important and we were not at all disappointed. The kitchen was really well equipped. The living room and dining area were right off the kitchen and super open. The beds were so comfortable. The place had plenty of linens and towels. The pool was absolutely delightful and all the pool and beach gear was great and so handy. The location is so convenient, right in the middle of the island and close to everything. A welcome book had suggestions and descriptions of restaurants, bars, live music, take out, and all sorts of others attractions. So helpful! Lastly, I very much appreciated the instructions for check out that included not throwing away any leftover food. It's terrific that you've set up a way to get that food to people who can use it. I love that you figured that out. The owners and property managers thought of everything to make our stay a happy one. Thank you!
