10/10!!

We had an absolutely perfect stay! The house was exactly as described and pictured—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It was the perfect romantic getaway for us. Being just a short walking distance to the beach made it even better. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend this place to others. We’re already looking forward to renting again in the future!

Just as Advertised

Clean and cozy place just minutes from everything you need. On the side of the island away from the tourist, yet close to all amenities. Only a 3 minute walk from porch to sand. Can’t ask for much more from a host, all around 10! :)

Beautiful bungalow within walking distance of the beach. Shady backyard with picnic table and clean gas grill. Beautifully decorated on inside with a beach vibe. Owner had thought of many things you might need for a beach island getaway including a wagon with 2 lawn chairs and a cooler to hold water. A well stocked kitchen for cooking with items that looked like they had very little use was a treat. Access to a washer and dryer with soap was a bonus. They were very generous with having supplies for clean up, shampoo/body wash, salt pepper, sugar and sweeteners, etc available. Owners are very responsive to questions. I would definitely rent again in a heartbeat. My only concern won’t be an issue to most renters. If you have major balance issues/trip easily, you will need to pay attention to the floor transitions going into the kitchen and in the hall as they are a trip hazard we both discovered.
