The property is absolutely fantastic. Perfect for six people. The location is superb. Quiet yet next door to the island life. Great restaurants and coffee shop within 1-2 minute walk. About 6-8 min walk to the boardwalk. Ron and Jana are wonderful hosts--very responsive and accommodating. My wife and I look forward to staying at their amazing place again.

This place truly is a gem! This is our second time staying here and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. The location is amazing so we were able to walk everywhere. Everything inside the home was spotless - even the barbecue grill outside. The rooms are spacious and the beds are incredibly comfortable. Thick, plush towels in the bathrooms are always so appreciated as well.We loved everything about this place and are already looking to book our next day. The hosts are incredible as well. They really care about your experience and it’s clear that they’ve put in the time in effort to make this a luxurious yet comfortable and inviting home away from home. This is absolutely our favorite place on the island!
