This rental felt like home and made a perfect family getaway. It was stocked with all of our home comforts and made traveling with kids so simple. Terri was very responsive and helpful with questions I had about the space and island. Every bit of the home was perfect, we’ll be back!
Great island getaway property! Beautifully appointed decor. 2 bedroom ensuite condo. Each suite had a bath, mini frig, tons of storage. The king suite had a shower and jacuzzi tub. The suites were separated by a large kitchen, dining, living area with expansive views of the water. This layout provides nice privacy. The porch was also fabulous with comfortable furniture and the same spectacular views. Great for a family or 2 couples.
The Captain’s Choice was absolutely the best choice! Extremely comfortable for the whole family, water views, quiet and felt like home! I highly recommend staying at this perfectly appointed villa!!
Our trip was excellent. Despite some rain, we had plenty to enjoy and discover. The home was beautiful and well maintained. The owners were very communicative and helpful. The short walk to the beach was perfect. We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. Terri was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back.
We enjoyed a four day stay at this ocean front spot. The owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating. The location is great, and the house was spotless with great amenities. Will definitely stay there again.
An amazing villa for a fantastic 3 night get away. A beautifully decorated villa that was spacious and very clean. Communication was easy and prompt. The screened in porch was my favorite spot to enjoy coffee and start the day on island time.
We had a great stay here (myself, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son). This was a great location, and the villa was very nice. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the island and eating at the various restaurants. The hosts were kind very good at communicating through VRBO. Highly recommend.
The house and the many amenities provided were perfect. Hosts were very helpful when needed. Would highly recommend this property!
