Great location, fully equipped, cozy place for 2. I was worried about noise since it’s down in the middle of the Island activity but it wasn’t a problem at all! Just turned on the fan that was provided and slept like a baby.

The cottage was PERFECT for the 2 of us. Very well stocked. We texted mid week asking for more hand towels ans wash cloths and they were delivered right away. Only issue was there was no place to put our hang up clothes... granted most people who beach vacation don't have hang up clothes. We found a spot on the bakers rack lol. VERY CLEAN. GREAT LOCATION. MGMT VERY RESPONSIVE. I loved that the only thing we had to do for checkout was to take the trash out. We will definitely stay here again as it was very convenient and a great spot.

Thank you for such a lovely review! We're so glad the cottage was the perfect fit for the two of you and that it felt well stocked from the moment you arrived. Knowing our team could get those extra hand towels and wash cloths to you right away means the world, because responsive care is exactly what we strive for. We're thrilled the space felt very clean and that checkout was as easy as taking out the trash. As for the hanging clothes, we love that you found a home for them on the baker's rack, that's the kind of creativity we admire! It's helpful feedback, and we'll keep it in mind for the future. We'd be delighted to welcome you back for another beach getaway anytime. Thank you for choosing Life in Paradise Vacation Rentals!
