Big on the Beach House 6BR Home + Club Access, Private Dock & Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"This was my 3rd time staying at this property. It never disappoints! There isn't a better location on the island. Bob and Wendy are darling and were great with communication and accommodating us. This was a girls trip and we had a blast. The only thing we were missing was maybe a couple more lounge chairs for laying out in the sun. :-) We saw dolphins almost every day. Manatees swam right by the house! Plenty of shells and the weather was beautiful. Pool/bar only a short golf cart ride away. We love this place and will definitely be staying there in the future. Thank you Stepanie and Wendy and Bob for sharing this special place."

BEACHFRONT LUXURY ISLAND HOME PRIVATE SWIM SPA~FISHING DOCK~GOLF CART STUNNING

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place to stay. Took a lot of planning to coordinate airfare, Uber, shuttle, ferry and groceries but it all came together flawlessly. The vrbo was cute, nicely maintained, and had the private beach which was great. This location was known for its fishing off the dock (many boats came by and fished near here). Dolphins could be seen daily from the house/dock. The wildlife was amazing...stingrays, manatees, starfish, crabs, iguanas, turtles, and the shells on the beach were incredible. Only a few restaurants were on the island (and they are pretty pricey) so we definitely planned accordingly to cook at the vrbo as much as possible. The only concern was the PM company at certain times. When we did have an issue, they hid behind the text messages and wouldn't return phone calls. Once things were finally resolved, they were easier to work with."
