Great place. Location to beach is excellent - and the pool is awesome. I’m probably nitpicking here - but - the instructions didn’t state which condo was ours … and at late arrival - we had to guess. Also - the previous tenants continue to leave equipment either they brought or bought on their trips - and it was spilling out of the back sheds. Getting a bit weedy as well. Having said that - the condo was very nice. Clean. And in a great location. We had a great week.
The home is in a great location!! We had a very nice stay :)

Great location
The house well stocked, we loved the pool and the short distance to the beach.
I came down with my wife and daughter and it was an absolutely wonderful stay. It was peaceful and cozy and perfect for us. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.
The pool was fantastic, the location proximity to the beach was perfect, 4 min walk or less! We had one issue with the power going out, host had it fixed in under an hour. We've stayed at over a dozen rental properties, and this was the first that did not have any kitchen stock (ie salt/pepper/cooking spray etc.), usually there are several of each from prior guests! Also, limited cookware / storage. We were provided one roll of paper towels, 2 rolls of TP and a cleaning kit with dishwasher soap (two loads) and laundry soap (one load). The beds were super comfortable, plenty of bath towels. The shower was a little intense but not bad! We had a great week overall!

We loved this property and the easy walk to the beach, we were so pleased we booked again for next winter. The Island is perfect and we enjoyed all the restaurants and shopping, walking everywhere in safe surroundings. Highly recommend this property, hope to come back on a yearly basis.
Cute home with great access to all the island amenities
Very clean and cute home. We loved the pool, the provided washer and dryer, and easy access to the trolley and local restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!
Great location less than four minute walk to the beach. The pool was very nice. The house did have beach towels and beach chairs. We definitely would rent again.

Wonderful Place on a wonderful island
I have just had one of my best holidays ever. The home is ideally located, just a short walk to beautiful beach. Also very near some very good restaurants.
It has a great, private and heated, swimming pool. We are already planning our next holiday and will want to come back to the same home.
Great location!! Quiet neighborhood. Beach less than 5 minutes walk. Private heated pool was great. Overall place was clean not the most updated place but for a beach home it was good.

"We had an excellent stay. We hired two adjoining bungalows which worked perfectly for our family gathering. They were in an ideal spot, so we could walk to beach and then walk out for dinner or ice creams in the evening. The bungalows were well furnished, clean and had everything we needed for the house and beach."

Awesome
We had an awesome time! It was better than we expected!
It was a perfect house / duplex for our family. The pool was nice, short walk to the beach. The house had everything you need. Plenty of parking in front of house and outside seating in front by the pool or in the screened in back porch. Definitely will stay again.

We stayed here for 10 nights. It is a beautiful property in a fantastic location. Fully equipped with everything we needed. Very short walk to the beach. Added bonus of a beach cart and chairs which we have had to rent in previous properties which works out quite expensive.
