Thank you for the kind review, and sharing your impressions of both homes with others! You make a great point about the kitchens: For those considering renting this two-home property, the riverfront home (also known as "Nirvana Shores") has a much larger and roomier kitchen (and dining area) than the oceanfront home (also known as "Restoration Sands") We'll see you next year!

Annual Company Retreat

We had an amazing stay at Yin and Yang for our company off-site retreat! Both properties were spacious and fit our entire team very comfortably. The large common areas were perfect for group meetings and gatherings, and we loved taking advantage of everything that was offered. The amenities were top-notch, making our stay both productive and relaxing. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Family Vacation

As always a stay in one of Al's homes never fails to satisfy. Even though the weather was not in our favor this week it still was a wonderful week relaxing and enjoying the variety of activities to be enjoyed. The attention to detail in hosting is what sets these properties apart. Things were well maintained, very clean, and fully stocked with necessities. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again.

Exceptional houses and Manager

Our Family had a most wonderful time and celebration. The accommodations were very comfortable, spacious, clean and well stocked. The views were quite spectacular too, sunrise and sunsets are incredible. The check-out checklist was a treat - nothing to do, just close the doors. Interaction with the manager was smooth, professional and complete - a pleaseure to work with. We're looking to rebook next year.

Stuart review.

The property had many great features and we were impressed with the quantity of equipment: kitchen, water sports, games, condoments, etc. We really enjoyed the sunrises over the Atlantic and the sunsets over the river. We named the house on the Atlantic Sunrise and the house on the river Sunset.

I rented three beach houses. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! All three. Thank you Al. You are the best. Nirvana shores is just perfect! Panoramic view of the ocean and riverside. We had an amazing time in Restoration Sands as well. Restoration Sands was very rustic looking with the wood and fireplace. Just STUNNING in every single way. The Chateau de la mer was breathtaking. I had my wedding there. 20 people. STUNNING. This was my second time booking and I will forever be a customer. Thank you for allowing my family and I to really feel at home as you did with Art on the Beach. These will be forever memories and we cannot wait to create more. Thanks Al for everything.

Family celebration

The two properties are in a spectacular location, with amazing views. They were both spotlessly clean and well equipped. One very small issue was handled promptly by the host. The extra touches with all of the added amenities was a nice surprise. The younger kids loved the treasure chests! I have no complaints other than our time there was too short! I will say that, because we had a number of teenagers, the sleeping arrangements worked fine. I’m not sure they would suit an all adult group, but that’s just my preference for privacy. I would definitely book these two properties for a future celebration. Thank you Al for the birthday surprise.

The houses are lovely and well appointed but unless you are piling into nooks, bunk beds or rollaway beds they sleep at MOST 20 adults in bedrooms in both houses. They are very strict about early check in, even though the cleaners were long gone. However, when the lock did not work we waited an hour to be let in AFTER checkin time. This only upset us because they were so inflexible about not letting us get in an hour early. They did respond quickly to any issues such as the broken lock and a broken AC. Both houses had elevators but the house on the river (which does not advertise the elevator) is definately more handicapped accessible. One nice thing is they ask you not to clean at the end, which we LOVED!

Thank you for your review, and for sharing your impressions with others! Sorry that we could not get your corporate group into both houses 2 hours before the check-in time.  As we discussed that day, at one of the 2 homes, the family that preceded you did not check out until the standard 11am checkout time . (The only way to have gotten you into that house 2 hours early would have been to force/evict that family out of their rental 2 hours early ... Can you imagine renting a house & being told -- at the last minute -- "Sorry, you must leave at 9am, not 11am, because the group after you wants to arrive two hours early")? You also mention that the "cleaners had left", but as we discussed that day, while the home's driveway was empty at 3pm, there were still cleaners working inside the home. (Their supervisor picks them up/drops them off) Other than your disappointment with being able to access only 1 of the 2 homes two hours before the check-in time, I'm glad to read that you enjoyed your stay! Note: On your experience the property sleeps 20 adults, that's possible:  If a large group (like yours) consists of many adult singles, there might be a shortage of king/queen bedrooms.  (That's because occupancy assumes 1 adult couple in each king/queen bedroom).  Fortunately, we eliminate all the guesswork. How? We provided you with architectural floor plans, 3D tours, and 10-minute-long "walkthrough" videos. Thank you again for the review, and we'll see you next time!

Desperately trying to have this host respond to me

We initially had a great stay at Ying and Yang even though my wedding celebration was ruined with Hurricane Nicole. Al was helpful during the evacuation process. Even was kind enough to offer us a refund or future comp for our stay! Very nice of him. But sadly 6 months have gone by and no response since the beginning of February. I would truly like to handle this amicably and hope that this is a one time thing with Al, as ive read so many wonderful reviews! Please respond back to us Al and i will gladly change this. Im begging at this point. . .

Best experience EVER!

Best homes we have ever stayed in! If you're considering these homes for your vacation, DO IT! They leave NOTHING out! Every detail is taken care of! Bring your suits and NOTHING else! they provide MORE than enough. We have never been so spoiled! We stay at many homes and these were BY FAR, THE BEST EVER! FULLY stocked with things you never even thought about! You will need nothing but clothes. We will be back and ill be packing much lighter lol! I cant say enough about these homes. You will not be disappointed! we even seen a sea turtle hatch and make its way to the ocean, we seen a tornado in the ocean, we seen a manatee in the shallow water on the river side swim right beside us, they caught sooo many fish, we seen dolphins in the ocean side, it was absolutely amazing!!! we did have a few issues and they were fixed or adressed within minutes! Al is an amazing host! 5 plus stars! cant wait to come back! Thank you for hosting our huge family for 2 important events :)

This was the best beach house experience we have ever had! The combination of the two houses was perfect for our family group of 23 people ranging in age from 15 months to 89 years old. There was plenty of space for everyone and the setting of both houses was amazing! We enjoyed watching the ocean from the deck of the beach house. We could watch the kids play and also watch the wildlife and sunrise. Plenty of beach toys are provided, along with chairs and shade options. We enjoyed the swings in the shade under the deck. The river house is beautiful with amazing views and a dock for fishing. It has a great gathering area with plenty of space for everyone to eat and hang out. We loved the kayaks and paddle boards and the big water trike. We used the fishing poles and some nets. There were life jackets and water shoes in lots of sizes. The houses are well stocked with all the paper products and cleaning products we needed. Having beach towels and all the toys provided was a big plus. You really don’t need to bring anything but swimsuits and some clothes. Everything else is provided. Another big plus was checkout. He said to just lock the doors and they do the rest. Very easy! We have already booked a return trip!

Successful family reunion; wonderful core memories made!!

We rented three properties from Al during our time on Hutchinson Island for a week's duration. Nirvana Shores, Restoration Sands, and Xanadu. All three were fantastic!! We came for a large family reunion with a mix of age ranges from toddlers all the way up to grandparents. Everyone was accommodated. I think the best part of it all was that there was very little we had to prepare for. The place was FULLY stocked (i really mean fully!!). If there are any issues, Al has helpers in the area who are merely a call away. We went in the rainy season, but that didn't really stop us from having a great time. Given that it's tropical rain, it came in bursts, so there were ample windows for us to get outside and have fun. We also had a covered pool area that we could access, which also helped! As far as food goes - kitchen was fully stocked (cooking seasoning, oil, cutlery, etc. etc.). There's a major chain grocery store just down the road as well, so pretty easy to restock on things. The area is generally quiet. All seem to be vacation homes with other families visiting. At the time we were there (again, a bit of a rainy time of the season), it was not crowded at all. Everyone had a fantastic time and are asking "can we come back here again?" Fantastic core memories made for the little ones. Highly recommend for a family get together.

Things that did not even come to mind were already in the homes saving me a trip to the store and allowing me to fully enjoy all of their beautiful amenities. These were 2 out of the 3 properties that we rented for my wedding and we loved each one of them. Will definitely be a place for us to come back to. Btw AL was amazing!!!

Our Host AL Knows How To Make A Vacation Even Better Than Home

Wowzer! What a rental. Hard to believe dwellings so fun and fine are available for rent. Our children are spread across the East coast and after the Pandemic we were looking forward to seeing each other again, after 2 years. AL made it easy, A to Z. Thanks AL! You’re organized, quick to respond to messages and check-out was easy easy. Kitchens were stocked with lovely extras, accessories and folk it was all spotless. Each of the bathrooms came with a lovely toiletries gift bag and the rooftop hot tub had the best view. You gotta see it. Outdoor sports equipment was neatly land out and perfect for family fun.

Bradlee Family Reunion

We rented both Yin and Yang and another property for a large family reunion. The ocean front home although beautiful, was not as well equipped and much different than the Riverfront. We cannot say enough about the riverfront and would love to rent that again in the future. We invited some local relatives to join us one evening and they too are interested in renting the property. Attention to detail was fantastic. THe Views and the amenities were great. It was clean and well equipped, far more than any other VRBO I have ever stayed in . Everyone who stayed there loved it. We had a few issues, fridge, elevator, which were handled quickly bu Property management. The other home on the ocean showed a lot more wear, the rooms were very small in comparison and there were many leaks when it rained. All in all, our family had a FABULOUS vacation and came from all over the United States. I would be happy to do a great review on homes and will look at renting in the future and taking advantage of that 25% off.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Dec, 2021
Thank you for your review, and for sharing your impressions of the several different beach houses that you rented for your large family reunion of several dozen. And much appreciation for the mention of our repeat-visitor loyalty discounts! (Every guest who returns -- or tries a new beach house -- gets a healthy discount when they re-book via VRBO) You also make an observation about a different beach house that you rented -- Gemini Beach, that saw a little bit of water get in one day during a tropical storm that roiled the area. Gemini Beach is the oldest beach house on the island and is a historical landmark. (As the oldest home on the island, it's survived many hurricanes in its 55 years, and is a bit more "seasoned" -- and a few dollars cheaper -- than the two newer homes that comprise Yin & Yang) Looking forward to hosting you again!

We rented both Nirvana Shores and Restoration Sands for an intimate beach wedding with family and friends. Both properties are stunning and the prop. mgr was responsive to our questions during the stay. I would highly recommend these properties.
