Beautiful 1BR/1BA Private Cottage Getaway(Duplex)
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This location is less than .3 miles (5 min walk) to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Just hop onto one of the two provided beach cruisers and explore everything the island has to offer. We are close to everything including dining and Jerry's Market. For the golfer there are two semi private courses that offer a fun round while surrounded by the island's beauty
