We had a great stay. The property is huge and has so much space for people to hang out. The only downside was that after the rain the island did smell like sewage, but I guess that’s typical. Pool and hot tub were lovely!

We had a family vacation including all (12) family members. The room layout was perfect for (4) families. The combination of the onsite pool and beachfront location is a great combination. The house was clean and all the amenities were impressive. Mid level screened in deck allowed outside gathering and meals. Upper deck was open and provided a great ocean view morning and evening. Three level elevator access was great for arrival and departure luggage handling. Location provided the opportunity to walk down the beach and have access to great shelling. Basic needs such as bath and beach towels, soap, shampoo , hairdryers were provided. There were plenty of beach chairs but rented a couple beach tarps for additional shade. Starter amenities were provided but needed additional paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent and dish detergent for a group of our size. Host promptly responded to all questions and any concerns. This facility clearly deserved the highest rating and provided for a rewarding family vacation.

shellseeker-sept21

property, location and pool - A overall - B- Beach renovation completing meant heavy equipment and 30" pipes on beach most of the week - should have been informed and some accommodation made. deck and deck furniture in need of attention: table wobbly, chair broke, another with cracked leg, tables stained. Wi-Fi very sporadic during the entire week. Toilet paper was of the quality expected in a gas station, not in a vacation rental of this level. Master bed was too high for older adults. No grab bars in any of the showers. The average renter will be older and may need them for safety. Renter's instructions should be reviewed to improve details provided.

Broken appliances

While the property and location was great we were disappointed with several things. The main floor washer and pool heater were broken when we arrived and while the property maintenance people responded quickly they were unable to fix the issue as replacement parts were needed. We did not have a functioning washer and pool heater until day 10 or 11 of our 14 day rental.
