My wife and I had a great time at your beautiful home. The home was very well stocked and very clean. It's a great location closer to the north end of the island and is a very short walk to the beach. Tammy was very helpful with answering our questions and very accommodating. We would highly recommend this home and we look forward to coming back in the future. Thanks for an amazing stay!

If you are looking for an easy family get away, look no further. Tammy and Bob are extremely helpful, accessible, and knowledgeable. From the transportation over, to the grocery delivery, they go over it all. The house is conveniently located close to the dock and has everything you would ever need for a nice family get away. I can’t say enough about this place and how amazing an experience this was. We will be back soon.
