Weekend Getaway

Absolutely perfect experience! House was outfitted with everything one would need inside and out. Platform was a perfect spot for breakfast and evening cocktails. Yard and pool made for a great afternoon for relaxing after exploring the island all morning. Definitely going back! Also Kiany was very informative about the island and the home at check in and Jean was very patient with us scrambling to get out on time. Very accommodating and quick to respond for a management company.
