We had an amazing stay! The pool area was absolutely dreamy. It was very spacious and the bunk beds were perfect for our 3 kiddos. Location was great, walkable distance to everything! We would most definitely book here again.

Great outdoor space! And perfect location!
We loved the pool and outdoor area! From naps to grilling to having cocktails, the back yard was PERFECT! The house was not very clean 😬 floor was very dirty, feet were black in 10 minutes. Would have been nice to know what days and be pool people came and yard people rather than them just showing up.. a little heads up would have been nice. We were having a great day in the pool until the yard people showed up… it got loud, smelly, and VERY dirty quickly from yard work. Master bedroom in back of the house was very hot and very bright! Blinds didn’t close well making it bright and very warm. (Bought foil annd tape to put over windows on door). Also ran out of hot water and it never got hot again after 6 days so used another shower to have warm water. Vents need replaced and should be operative. Kitchen was small for our group size, crammed with more than 2 in there. Washer and dryer are were great! Able to wash large loads. The house was a perfect location to walk to anything you need. Very private and secluded back yard. 🙂

Amazing property!
The property was awesome. We had everything we needed. The rental support team went out of their way to communicate and ensure we had everything we needed. They provided updates on heavy traffic delays due to a parade on the island. Only negative was that we had to leave!!! Absolutely going to repeat this trip.
