When we arrived Tara had a home made lemon pie ready for us. She gave us the scoop on everything we needed and was helpful throughout the trip. She lives close by also. The house sits on the north side of the island and while it was a little seaweedy we were able to walk down the beach and get into the water very close by where there was no seaweed. The beds were comfortable and the a/c was good and kept us comfortable during the trip. The kitchen had lots of gadgets so we could cook most everything we wanted to cook. Driving into the property you go down a long sandy drive that is very artistically landscaped and simply beautiful. There is a labyrinth of sorts you can walk through in the soft pine needles and see the tropical plants up close. There were lots of touches here that you don't find at a typical rental home. It felt like a real home and I think that is because Tara lives so close by and takes such good care of the property. Overall, wonderful experience!!!
