Would stay here again!

Great location. Rooms were spacious. Living area was great. Lots of items in the garage you could use at the beach! Only thing I would change would be the beds, they were too hard.

Lazy lizard

Property was great...had pretty much everything we needed. Location was ideal and the wagon was perfect for our daily trips to the beach. Only suggestion would be to add an ironing board to the property and the ability to use the bikes.

Great property management

I’ll keep it very simple. Great locale, very clean place, exceptional property management and responsiveness. Only two issues I had which got over because of how quickly sato responded. 1) the pictures make this look like a single family home not attached to anything else. The VRBO shows the picture in the listing it cuts off the wider view and you have to look really closely to see through the tree on each side that it’s connected. 2) would do well to shore up the security of the entry ways. Only on day 4 did we realize you can open the garage up no problem from the outside and the key didn’t work to lock it. Additionally the front door does not have a deadbolt. Overall we had a great stay.

Hi Nathaniel, We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the compliments regarding our management company! To quickly clarify, all the cottages in Seaside Gardens are single family residences as we do not own the homes to our left or right. This style of island home was popular in the 1960s and you'll find many in our area. As safety is a priority for our family as well as yours, we had a security latch guard installed on the door during your stay in addition to the existing keypad entry to increase your comfort level. The garage door locks from the inside but we will be having a brand new lock installed for ease of guest use. Your feedback is greatly appreciated as it helps us improve and we hope you choose to stay with us again soon! Much appreciated, Sato Real Estate Sato Rental Team

Relaxation time

The lazy lizard is the cleanest place I have ever stayed. The neighborhood is quiet and the beach is in walking distance. We used the free trolley to go all over the island. I would definitely stay there again.

This property was located centrally on the island. We were able to walk 6 blocks to beach, within a mile to the east or west for shopping, dining or entertainment. The property on this street appeared family oriented with parks within just a couple of blocks. I would go back to this location again without giving it a second thought!
