10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our trip was absolutely perfect. The house itself is awesome, it's our third stay at Tee Time! We had two very minor issues, which ITrip addressed in record time. We were able to check in earlier than expected, which was a huge help being that we were traveling with three small children. The house was well stocked with the basic necessities. Would have liked to have had a working hand vacuum as well as a Swiffer mop, but other than that we had everything we needed. Would definitely book through ITrip again and stay at Tee Time again next year!"

"Finding a small place where a couple can stay on the island is a challenge, however, Hugh's place was perfect! We appreciated the location, cleanliness, and the golfcart. Ideally, the front door being replaced would have eliminated the hassle of getting in and out and locking the property. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again in the future!"
