The pictures of this house are deceiving, it is much better in person. We've been coming to the island for 17 years, this is my favorite house out of all of them so far. I definitely would recommend and without a doubt I would book again tomorrow if I could. The only thing I didn't like was the grill and the size of the TV. The grill is like a camping grill at state parks, which is fine but very rustic. The TV is small which made watching the game difficult. Other than that best vacation without a doubt. The house does have a few quirks which most do because of the hurricane damages that they receive year after year. We stayed for 2 weeks and I honestly hated leaving. Every evening, I could be found in the hammock on the front porch. That was my spot. I highly recommend having your groceries delivered which we did and it removed so much stress from us. There were plenty of towels and beach towels, beach chairs, everything you need. I would rate this place a 9 out of 10.
