Thank You for the nice review and for staying with us, looking forward to hosting you again in the future.
This was a great place for the 2 of us. It was very clean and was exactly as described. Location was perfect, in a quiet area but still close to everything. We enjoyed our stay!
My kids loved the “beach house,” for the quick weekend we booked it was great. Clean property bottom floor. Everything you needed inside. Location was good. Would stay again for sure
The condo was wonderful! It was adorable and really close to the beach! Me and my friends had a wonderful trip! Would love to stay here again in the future :)
Great condo unit located near the water and next to the stunning Driftwood Beach.
We enjoyed our stay being so close to the water and access points. We were a quick (ish) drive and bike ride from the village (stores), tennis, golf and restaurants. We’ll be back!

Hello,
We were talking throughout and wished you mentioned this and we would gladly bring you anything you’re missing.
We will review the mini kitchen as advertised with basic items but we will review this today and add the missing items.
Regarding the patio I agree with you, with all the pollen this month it’s hard to keep up, I’m basically taking my car to the wash daily. All the furnishings are basic and neat as they are brand-new including the appliances and the mattresses and etc.
Thank you for staying with us.
Our unit was beautiful, very close to the beach access and shaded with trees. The unit is nearby the community playground, but we didn’t have any issues with noise during our stay. Would definitely come back to this villa again!
Perfect location. Comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed for our first time visit to the island. So much better and easier than a hotel. We loved it!
