Amazing

I only have positive words for our stay at your house. The host's attention was impeccable, the house was in perfect condition, very well equipped and clean. The isolation, the surroundings of the house, the sandy paths, the proximity to the beach. The whole atmosphere is perfect for a time of disconnection and relaxation. Thank you very much.

Cool place and wonderful host

We stayed 4 days on the island. This place is one of the coolest/nicer houses ive stayed in. We had a day of rain which there was plenty of stuff to do provided by the host. Everything was great and we will be back!

Perfect!

My family and I stayed a week at the barn house. It was one of the cleanest homes we’ve stayed in, this being our 4th year at the island. It is a beautiful home and literally has everything needed. We definitely look forward to more stays here in the future!

The best all around VRBO we have ever stayed in!

The Beach Barn was beyond my expectations. Cleanliness is an important factor in staying at a VRBO with my small children. The Beach Barn was impeccable. It was perfect for our family of 5. The house has everything you could ever need in a stay on the island. 10/10 recommend!!

Great Slice of Heaven

Best stocked house we've ever stayed in!! It had every single amenity you can think of and more. Spacious and comfortable with a really cool bar space and living areas. The bottom floor outside space and upstairs porch were super nice and the new beach chairs and beach umbrellas were the best! Could not use the paddleboard because there were too many waves, but we are hoping to come back next year. Thank you for sharing your amazing property with us! Lili and family!

Spring Break 2024

Great house, great amenities, great kitchen supplies. Property manager was super helpful. Proximity to the dock was nice - when dragging luggage, coolers, etc it’s nice to have a short walk from dock to house. I highly recommend.

Would stay again

This was the perfect house for 2 families to share. The downstairs patio and games in storage provided hours of entertainment for everyone. The maps on VRBO don’t do it justice how close it is to both the dock and the beach, you can walk to either in less than 3 minutes…we didn’t need a golf cart to get around. The property manager was very helpful and took the garbage away for us, which we’ve had to pay extra for at other properties.

The perfect getaway

We love LGI and the Barn House was wonderful. It was clean, spacious, and had so many extras. It was a short, few minutes walk to the bay or beach. We had so much fun using the kayaks, the outdoor and indoor games, grills, and awesome swings. And our host, Dave, was a great help with luggage transport, suggestions, and answering all our questions.

Family of 5 (3 teens)

We created some lasting family memories here! Amazingly clean home stocked with everything you need, and most of what you want in terms of a day at the beach and cooking meals in the kitchen. The lower level space and outside shower were surprise highlights of our week! A few FYIs: if you don't have a boat, make water taxi reservations well in advance and plan to pay at least $80+tip each way (5 people). Also, all 3 bedrooms are on the top floor with a narrow staircase access (see photos).This was no problem for us, but might be for others. We highly recommend this home!!

Couldn’t have asked for more!

We have been to the island several times, it’s one of our favorite places to be. This was our first time staying at this beautiful property but it won’t be our last. David, the property manager, was so nice and helpful from our arrival to the day we left. The house itself was perfect for our family of four, we have two teenage girls. The house was super clean, looked to be newly updated, nicely decorated, and well stocked with everything you could need. Aside from groceries of course, those you will need to get from the mainland before heading over on the ferry. We can’t wait to stay here and enjoy this special place again.

Great time

The home comes with everything you need. This is our first time back since the hurricane and the island is still in repair but did not stop us from enjoying. We snorkeled, grilled and chilled. The only thing the description does not mention all the water toys that come with the house. Multiple kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas and kids beach toys. Outdoor shower is amazing. And lots of beautiful shells and shark teeth to find on the shores.

Amazing

This house was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. It was updated and the home had everything you could want/need for a relaxing beach vacation. I really appreciated the top quality cooking and kitchen appliances, the super soft toilet paper (ladies you totally know what I mean), upgraded sheets and pillows. The host was timely in responding and the caretaker introduced himself within hours of us arriving. The beach was beautiful and not at all crowded. You have to take a water taxi to the island and you need to book that one week in advance. Make sure to bring all groceries with you. Although they had plenty of spices available. I will be coming back and staying here again!

Loved it!

The Beach Barn was everything we hoped for and more! The house is clean and offers plenty of family space. We enjoyed the farm table and the Blackstone for most of our meals. The space under the house had great swinging chairs, a bar, and games. Beach chairs, boogie boards, and anything we could've imagined were available for our use. The outdoor shower was also amazing. This is our 4th time to LGI and with this house you truly only need to pack your suits and bring your food because it was stocked with so many essentials. The beach access is close and unique with tropical plants and a walkway. Dave, the property manager was exceptional! He met us at the dock and helped with all our needs. He really went the extra mile to make our stay incredible. We love the island and the Beach Barn is definitely a great house that we would highly recommend.

A Last Min Getaway in a Beautiful Island

The property was very unique compared to all the other ones in the island. Outside of the expected mosquitos and summer rain, the property worked out for our need. The only advice I can provide is to bring an iPad or laptop that you can watch any movies/TV shows as there isn't much in terms of entertainment options. As some have stated, you'll want to bring a hotspot device as both our AT&T and T-Mobile devices did not get good signal inside . As for those looking to go to the beach, you are within walking distance from the beach and if you choose to rent a golf cart, they are fun to ride around parts of the island. For the summer time, expect a lot of areas to not be accessible via the cart as there is a lot of standing water. Overall, we loved our trip and can't wait to return.
