We loved the first floor unit with a beautiful garden view. It was a short walk to the heated pool and white sand beach. Everything was provided for relaxation - plenty of beach chairs, beach towels, noodle for the pool, and umbrellas for shade. We will return.

This room is right next to the office so no beach or pool view but just a short walk. We had a group of theee ladies. Bed was comfy and sofa bed was comfortable for one. We appreciated the provided beach lounge chairs.

Great beach access. Central location on the island. Not overcrowded. Ground floor unit was in good shape considering the hurricane in 2024.Bedroom could use blackout curtains (it gets bright in there in the AM) and the road noise was a bit loud.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Jan, 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the beach access, central location, and condition of the unit—especially given the impacts of the 2024 hurricane. We’re glad you enjoyed the ground-floor convenience and the quieter, uncrowded feel of the area. We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the bedroom light and road noise. Blackout curtains are a great suggestion and something we’re actively considering to improve guest comfort. While road noise can vary, we’ll continue looking for ways to minimize its impact where possible. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’d be happy to host you again in the future.

Corporate rental dump

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked a 3 night stay here. We left after the second night. Our room was a tiny space attached to the front office. No view. Also no privacy. We had the blinds closed the entire time we were in the room because people would just stop and look in at us. We had people knocking on the door the first night at midnight because they thought this is where the manager would stay or something. There were people hanging out outside of our room at all hours of the night. The mini golf hasn't been maintained in years. There is not enough shuffle board equipment to play a game on the trashy court. The AC was covered in mold/mildew and made us all cough and sneeze while in the room. There was rust in the microwave. They only provide one packet of coffee for the entire stay. This place was a dump. The 'no refunds' policy was quite clear though. Avoid this place. They don't care if you have an enjoyable stay. Corporate rental dump.

Great weekend getaway for 2

The room itself was clean and was well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a perfect location for 2 people to spend a couple days at the beach with access to some good local restaurants . The property itself is a bit outdated but it’s hard to beat the location.
