I came to HH off season to be able to spend some quality time with my sister without our kids. This condo was perfect because it roomy, comfortable, in a great location, and inexpensive enough that we were still able to go out and hit the outlets! The place was clean and organized, and I liked the fact that there were normal items available that I might not bring or want to purchase a huge container of like salt and pepper, sugar, coffee filters, body lotion, etc. The location is great too! So close to the beach and shopping. The pool is practically in the backyard. It was closed for the season when I was here but looks nice. My kids will love it for sure. The furnishings are clean but not new, so it is nice to have a more lived in, family atmosphere where I wouldn't be afraid to let my kids sit on the sofa. There are plenty of sleeping options too, so it would be perfect for even a two family vacation (maybe next year?) Since I was there in the winter we ran the heat. I only gave it 4 stars because it was a little hot upstairs and a little cool downstairs. I imagine this is mostly because of the gorgeous and TALL vaulted ceiling and all the heat goes up. Not sure what one can do about it, and it was still totally livable.
The kitchen looks small on first glance, but the open concept really gives more usable space and is great for socializing. My sister is something of a gourmet chef, so we opted for the "gourmet cabinet upgrade". Totally worth it. They are super high end appliances and food prep tools. She was able to work really well in the kitchen and made some amazing meals. I drank wine and 'helped'.
Make sure when you stay here you rent beach cruisers from Bicycle Billy's on Pope Ave. We had a great time biking around the south end of the island, and I noticed that they have Wee Ride trailer bikes and tag along bikes that I will rent when I come back with my family. Rates are good and there are coupons and promotions available online.
