Private and perfect

Each one of the Suites cater to our needs and the pool was a big plus. And we were only a few steps from the beach, which made it even better again. Definitely would stay again. Host was very responsive to our needs.

Great property for our family of 20 - adults and kids. Outside space and pool area were well enjoyed. Key pad locks were nice but the kids figured out to unlock them quickly. The downstairs room was very useful. If it had a stove it would have been perfect. The property is in good condition.

This was a great place to stay for our family reunion of 22 people from 6 different households , with 3 generations ( teenagers to senior citizens) and 8 teens. We appreciated the large swordfish suite living area and kitchen where we usually gathered, but also liked the separate 4 smaller suites with smaller kitchens and washer/dryers where each family could spend the occasional introverted time. The property was well stocked for pool time, beach time, and home cooked meals. Very conveniently located to beach, Publix grocery store pharmacy, beach supply store, coffee and many others. The 6 person electric golf cart was also useful for easily cruising to either norther or southern tip of the island.

Large family vacation

Stayed with 12 children and 14 adults and the place was the perfect size for our group! Everything was great and very accommodating to families with small children. Very close walk to the beach. Great pool! The large multipurpose room could really use a dishwasher especially for groups that like to cook and eat together! Make sure kids wear shoes on the stairs/deck or they will get slivers.otherwise no issues! We had a wonderful time!

Why they chose this property

What I love about this property is the size. Also the fact it is just 2 houses from the beach is awesome. The section of the beach right near the house is very nice, quiet and accessible. There is a fun tiki bar and a very large pool area with a large pool and fun waterfall feature.
