Flip Flop In!!!!! The location of this rental home is amazing! Right in the middle of everything the island has to offer! Easy 5 minute walk to beach and only a quick bike/golf cart ride to all of the shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again! Teenagers loved the location and would be perfect for little ones too. Kitchen is well stocked and includes everything need for the beach!!!
Beautiful condo! Nice furnishings and beds were VERY comfortable! Pillows great too! Conveniently located to grocery store, restaurants and beach. You also had all the sand equipment you needed. Kids loved the basketball hoop in garage. Pool was great because it was heated which was very good for our cooler week.
Condo very clean except for the floors which were not.
Would definitely stay there again!

You can obviously pick apart anything if you wanted to. I stayed here for a week, it was clean, spacious and in a great location. For the money spent, well worth it! My daughters and I will return next year for vacation. It's hard picking somewhere, let me help you on your decision. Across the street from the public access to the ocean, we just walked, maybe 3 min before in the beach. Chairs and wagon are in the garage. The house is quiet and surrounding homes are bougie. I timed the drive to the local public's grocery store 6.5 min driving 25 mph. The home could hold 6-10 comfortably and you can't go wrong with renting. I could go on and on, good luck on choosing!
