Thanks so much. Very glad that you enjoyed your stay. The house is so convenient to the beach.
A fabulous house and a great owner. We rented 4 houses on the island for our family members for a reunion and this was by far the best. The owner was unbelievably responsive and the house was clean and well cared for. Definitely would rent again
