The location and beach access was fantastic! And the addition of the golf cart was great for getting around the island. Everything was neat on arrival. I do wish I had known it was a duplex as we had loud neighbors up late on our final 2 nights and we could clearly hear their music & words. I also would love to have access to basic kitchen staples (salt, pepper, olive oil or spray) to make cooking an option - with no grocery store on the island we couldn't buy them there and I didn't consider packing a salt & pepper shaker.

Great Stay!

This island is like taking a step back in time. It is quiet and makes you feel as though you are on a private beach. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our house was clean and everything was easy to navigate. The ferry and land transportation were easy to navigate (we used island head).We will definitely be back!
