We throughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The house was just the right size for all us and the location was great for all the things we did. The screened in porch was the highlight of our trip as we spent our evenings hanging out there enjoying the summer weather.Would definitely recommend.
Excellent property. The house is well equipped with everything you’ll need for a great vacation. Well set up for fishing or a family vacation. Host was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back.
Quiet and private. Clean and everything is there except your food. Very roomy. If I had complain about anything it would be the gas grille, time for a new one. I'd stay there again. It's a good place to eat and sleep, or to stay there all day and night without leaving!

Thank you for your review! I am glad you enjoyed your stay. And thanks for your comment about the grill!
Checking in and out was easy. The house is nice, clean, and well furnished. The large kitchen is well equipped. The beds are lfirm but comfortable. The screened in back porch was a lovely place to relax.
My only hesitation in giving 5 stars is that everyone will want to stay here! We have loved this property for years, and hope to return again and again. Many thanks for a great trip.

This house made our stay on the island perfect! It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing time. The house was clean, has lots of room for everyone and the screened in porch was our favorite place to hang out, drink our morning coffee and watch the hummingbirds:) The hosts are amazing, had zero issues checking in or out. Would definitely rent again if we ever visit the island again!
Was perfect for what I needed. Cleanliness was great. Every amenity you could ask for. Only complaint is the AC didn’t work great during the day, but place stayed manageable.

Thank you for your review! We understand about the AC. It is a new unit, but the west facing windows really get direct sun. We appreciate your comments!
