We enjoyed our stay and appreciated how clean the property was. The property is close to everything on the island and the stairs are minimal compared to many properties. Everything in the home was well stocked. The host was great about communicating. Be sure to wear shoes as you walk to the beach as there are stickers along the walk that poke your feet.

Excellent beach cottage

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay! There is a closet full of beach umbrellas and toys, and the house is stocked with towels, so we were able to pack light and leave all these things at home. Really great location — beach is at the end of the short street. Definitely the perfect cottage for an easy, fun vacation to the beach!

Very clean, charming cottage. The host thought of everything you could possibly need for the beach. The only issue was the door code but host came up with a solution. Hope to return for longer stay in the future.

The house is cute and was very clean. The stocking of dishes, pots and pans however leave a lot to be desired so bring your own! The cabinets are a mess and the items in them are extremely worn for the most part. The door locks also need to be replaced as they seem old and dont always line up with the jam to lock properly so that definitely needs to be addressed! The location cant be beat and overall we had a nice stay and would stay there again!
