The property had everything we needed and provided more than we expected. The hosts were responsive and informative, both before and during our stay. We had a wonderful time and would 100% book a vacation home through them again!

Great property with a good centralized location to many activities. The host was very accommodating and easy to reach. The beds were all comfortable, the A/C worked perfectly and there was everything there that we needed for cooking for the family. We will definitely stay here in the future!There have been several comments about the WiFi. It was a little finicky but nothing problematic. Honestly, if you’re there to do work and watch cable, then I question why people selected HHI to spend their vacation. So many great things to do on the island.

Great place to stay. The property was ready when they said. Everything was perfect. Especially enjoyed the screened in porch on the back in the evenings.
