I just feel in love with this beach house. It has everything one might need and much more. Great communication with host. The only my regret was having to leave the island and beach house. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly on the island as well. It truly was an amazing time at beach house celebrating my girlfriend’s bachelorette getaway!

An amazing house and well located ! We had a wonderful time The pool came in handy when the kids were too beat up to go in the ocean anymore. Plenty of room for our big crew of five adults, three kids and a baby. They even had a high chair and pack and play! The dogs were also very impressed with their beds Would defiantly recommend
