The cottage is tucked back in a charming, security-patrolled neighborhood, so you and your family can enjoy being outside without worrying about the business of the main road through the island.

We know packing for a trip can be stressful, so we hope you’ll take full advantage of all the in-home amenities offered - including a fully supplied kitchen, board games, puzzles, books, toys for the kiddos, linens, beach towels, Keurig coffeemaker, electric wine-opener, hairdryer, pack and play, baby monitor, travel-size toiletries, hammock, firepit (with skewers to roast smores, of course!), and lots of indoor and outdoor seating!

Hello, Sunshine! is the perfect place to spend a lazy morning relaxing on the patio and an afternoon enjoying the car-free beach (getting there is easy since you're only steps from two walkovers!), relaxing at the Pointe West Beach Club with a cocktail, or splashing around at the lazy river bayside pool.
