Our group absolutely loved this place! It’s super clean and has everything you need. You can tell the host goes the extra mile to make the home comfortable and inviting. It’s in the perfect location, walkable to the beach, has shopping and restaurants close by, but it’s away from the noise. This is our second stay in this beautiful home, and we plan to come back again. I can’t recommend it enough!

Our family stayed in this comfy Island home with guest cottage, and we had a great time. The main house has an open floor plan and is very spacious. The pool area is large, and the heated pool was great (paid extra for the heated pool). The location is in close proximity to everything. Would have liked to see a sofa bed in the guest cottage. Overall, the house met or exceeded our expectations. Got rained out on Easter Sunday so couldn't do too much. Our family recommends this rental and would stay here again.

Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation!

As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more.
