We really loved this place. Enjoyed the neighborhood and it’s a golf cart ride away from the beach. The house was very clean and beautiful. Although the stairs made my legs sore I loved it. Lol

We are thrilled you enjoyed this beautiful home in the Pointe West community. The location is central to everything in the community. All residences in this area of the island are elevated and stairs are part of the experience:). We hope you will stay with us again.

Glad you enjoyed your visit. It’s a lovely home. We are honored to be able to be the host of it.
Entertained customers on serval fishing trip. House was very nice. Only thing I would say about the property was no lights worked down outside where the picnic table was. Went over to to on and off switch and got shocked. You need to get that fixed someone might get hurt.

Beach house was great. Clean. Little issue but was handled respectfully. Good communication with property managers. Loved all the porches was able to move around to either be in sun or shade. Had a wonderful kitchen set up. As we all know mosquitoes are horrible. So bring spray for the bottom if you need to be down there. Shower downstairs was great to clean the littles before coming up! They loved it. Nice location to get to san luis beach via vehicle and very close to the smaller pool/lazy river. We definitely enjoyed!!
This property is so well decorated. Everything is new and very stylish. This home provided everything we needed for our stay, we never had to leave to get anything because there was nothing missing. There was a cute welcome basket with shampoo and body wash, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, trash bags, water and snacks. The kitchen is also fully stocked with ample dinnerware, Tupperware, baking sheets, pots and pans, blender, instant pot, spices and herbs, and much more. The fridge also dispensed water and ice. I could go on and on about everything I love about this house. The beach is a short drive away, and one of the pools is walking distance. We would definitely stay here in the future.

First off, the house is beautiful. Everything is top notch, from the appliances to the decor. Very clean and comfortable! We really didn’t need to bring a thing other than beach towels and mosquito spray!!! If you plan to grill there is a small charcoal grill so bring charcoal. But if you forget anything there is a convenient grocery store a few miles away. We had a group of twenty something’s and even though it rained most of the time, they were still able to fish and go to the beach. We played lots of games and did a few puzzles and watched tv. Really just a great family house for spending time together and making memories! We have stayed at several Pointe West houses and this is a new favorite! Thank you Linda and Mary Alice for making everything seamless! We will definitely rent here again!
