What more could you want than beautiful beaches, a backyard pool, convenient to restaurants and shopping? This property has location, location, location.
Really cute newly renovated home. It was perfect for our family. We loved the large fence to give us privacy. The property managers were great to communicate with. Very responsive. Highly recommend
The pool wasn't heated, though advertised as so. The pool also had a lot of leaves floating around. A breaker tripped out first night there and we never figured out where the box was. The inside of the property and patio were immaculate.
You have access to a private beach (which is not nearly as busy as the park area). It’s a great spot and easy walk to beach! The. You can jump in the pool and cool down after:). The house was really clean. I would recommend renting a golfcart as we accessed most of the island on it! Really fun- we will be back! Oh and dog friendly!!
Great location as it was easy to get to town and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and great communication from the management company. Living room looks nice but the big chairs weren’t great for relaxing - a sectional would have been better. The pool looks bigger in the photos but it was great to have to cool off. No shade in back yard and no umbrella, so bring your own. No lights in the backyard (or they weren’t working), so couldn't see our dogs when we let them out at night. Also, there was some debris in the pool and lots of leaves/acorns in the outdoor shower area. Overall, a great stay and cute Island town.
