We had a great stay overall and really enjoyed our time at the property.The house has a lot going for it—unbelievable views, excellent beach access, and a location close to great restaurants and the market. It’s also refreshing that this isn’t one of the ultra-modern, cookie-cutter homes taking over many of the islands. It has a more classic, relaxed island feel, which made for a great family trip.The host was outstanding—very responsive, easy to communicate with, and helpful in every way. My wife accidentally left her purse behind, and he quickly arranged to have it shipped back to us. He also recommended a golf cart company and pointed us to a nearby private dock just minutes away. The dock was a bit expensive but absolutely worth it for the convenience.The house was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well stocked, and the stack washer/dryer was a great bonus.A few areas could be improved. The kitchen and bathrooms feel dated for the price point. The hurricane shutters were the biggest issue—they are very loud even in a light breeze and led to multiple sleepless nights. The deck loungers were great, but without cushions (we were told to use towels), they were very uncomfortable.Overall, a beautiful location with a fantastic host—just needs a few updates to be excellent.
