Such a great place to stay very calm and very family oriented everything is very nice also store is just around the corner incase you forget to bring something
Our family really enjoyed our stay. Grandkids loved the pool and we made great memories. We were a party 9 (5 adults and 4 kids) and we all agreed on the comfort of our beds and being able to stay cool. Overall a fun time. Our host was very responsive to my various requests and questions.
All in all this was a nice house for the week. We had a good time, and there is a nice beach just a couple minutes away. You are out of town more and traffic in the area is minimal. Your about a 20 minute drive to most attractions and on the island.There were just a few things that could use some maintenance fixes. One patio door barely slid and both door's handles seemed like they were ready to or started to come apart. Shower rods could use replacement, they were all rusty and were also coming out of the walls. Lights were flickering in the bathrooms and were a bit iffy. There are some areas that show their age and some weathering inside and out too, and the dryer took several cycles to dry a load. Just a few things that may turn some people off from the otherwise nice, clean, and comfortable areas of the home.
The property is an overall decent place. A few things that were noticed. The checkout time was changed to 10 AM when it was advertised as 11 AM before booking. Water bugs were present in the living room area at night time. This is expected in a coastal area. The kitchen is in need of renovations. I was left a one star review on cleanliness. This was after going out of my way to make sure everything was picked up snd trash was taken to the street recepticles. I placed dirty towels in the washer and started the load. Washed all dishes. Left sheets on bed as instructed. But I guess you cant please everyone. No big deal.

Oh my gosh! I definitely didn’t leave you a one star in anything! I am so sorry! I tried to leave 5 stars for all categories- that stupid app does that ALL the time! You have to hit the 5 star button twice or it defaults to 1. I will call and try to fix that today! My apologies! I have never left a one star for any guests- ever!
Wonderful property, especially the pool and hot tub. Perfect house for two families to enjoy the amenities! The host was friendly and had top notch response time to my questions.
