Perfect spot on my island!

Just finished our stay here and we could not be more happy with our vacation home! Place was clean and even ready early for us to get in and unpack. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach, and there was a cart and plenty of beach chairs to use. A 5 minute walk to shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a short walk to the trolley stops to tour the rest of the island. Pool was good size and outdoor area was large with plenty of seating for all. Would definitely stay here again!

Great vacation rental!

My family loved this vacation rental. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool area was great. We swam and watched the soccer games and had some great BBQ. The house is a short walk to the beach and also to shops and restaurants.

Great location and house for family getaway!

We stayed for spring break 2025. Was worried initially because the pool essentially is visible from the road (small fence surrounding yard) but ultimately it was totally fine. The house had so many amenities and beach equipment. It was so nice! Plenty of space for two families, as the upstairs can be a separate living space. Will definitely return to this house again!
