The host has thought of everything from beach towels, chairs, excellent laundry facility, bedding, decor, cleanliness, dishes, utensils, you name it! We enjoyed our time and hope to be back one day. Also, the pull out couch was great for our third person that joined us mid-week. Thank you Four Beach Lovers!

This place was amazing!! We come to the island every year and I would definitely say this has been our favorite. The place was really clean and had everything we needed to cook meals for the week. We enjoyed sitting outside and grilling. So amazing being right on the beach. The bed was comfortable; the shower was great. It will definitely be our 1st choice next year!

Anniversary 09/26/26-10/3/26

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After booking we later received a text with a link to a guidebook for the island along with property specifics. This was very helpful being our first stay on the island. We received the lock code shortly before check-in time and didn't have any issues upon our arrival. Location was perfect, the direct beach access was amazing, especially when the weather didn't cooperate. The shared laundry facilities with AC was a huge plus. The beach was never crowded. I saw a dolphin swimming while sitting on our porch one morning. The Publix & Walgreens was just up the road, you could walk there if you had to. All the restaurants & other activities were just a short drive away. We would stay here again & recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and be away from the hustle and bustle.

We loved Four Beach Lovers. The location was exactly as described in the listing, and the unit was clean and comfortable. If you want to cook for yourself, the kitchen is well appointed and there are even grills provided. You literally walk out your door and onto the beach, which is uncrowded and offers beautiful sand and water. If you love sunsets and seashell hunting, this is the place for you. The property is close to restaurants, grocery stores, and locally owned shops. The host is very responsive to communications. We will definitely be back to this beach house.

Wonderful property!

We were just a little concerned about our vacation since this place is new to Homeaway and didn't have any reviews yet, but we were absolutely thrilled upon arrival. So cute, clean, quiet and RIGHT on the beach. They supply all the household items you could possibly want (and more). Oh....and the bed was SUPER COMFY too. Don't be scared to take a chance on this place based on the lack of reviews. It's so much nicer than staying in a stuffy old hotel room!!
