Really great and a nice value for the island. We love the area and are very familiar with it - this was exactly what we wanted! Only nit was the floors could have used a bit more attention. Other than that it was perfect for our family! Will absolutely stay again!

Reply: Thank you for the review, Bryan! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again.

Location location location! This place was perfect for our family with small children AND teens, being minutes away from the ferry and a few more to the beach! The home itself was perfect and had everything we needed. We were a little worried at first with the tiny window AC and it being very warm when we walked in, but we opened the windows and that was all we needed to keep it cool, even in July! We were comfortable and the property management was super friendly and communicative. Any small issues we had they addressed immediately!! We would stay again and recommend it to friends and family.

Reply: Thank you for the review and feedback, Chelsey! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again.

This unit was very nice and homey. The beds were very comfortable, so we all got a good rest. There is lots to do on the island and everything is easy to access from the location of the unit!

We had a wonderful stay! the home was very clean, which is always super important when renting a place. The area is beautiful with so much to walk to. the ferry was very close and the home was super comfortable there were no complaints from anyone! it was a bit warm for me, but with the fans on and windows open it was OK especially at night. I don't think i could do a house with no air-conditioning when it is really warm out, but that is a personal preference. Overall it was wonderful!

Reply: Thank you for the review, Lara! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! We totally understand that AC is usually prefered, but we are so glad it was not an issue for you. Luckily the ocean breeze is a good exchange. We hope to host you again in the future!

I recently had a wonderful stay at an Airbnb that truly exceeded my expectations. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I could ask for. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and restaurants. I especially enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the little touches that made it feel like home. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

We didn’t realize the 3rd bedroom was a separate unit, so this is a great rental for groups.

Family Vacation

Emilee L.

★★★★★

We came for our daughters wedding with 4 children under 5 and 6 adults. The space fit us all perfect and was in an ideal location for us. The bathrooms need a little update and the shower upstairs needed the doors to be fixed, but other than that, it was a great place for a great price!

Reply: Emilee, thank you for choosing us for such a special occasion! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to host you again!
