Reviews
Nothing less than phenomenal.
I just spent a week with some friends at this property. It is nothing less than phenomenal. It has everything you would need and more. The open living dining kitchen space is awesome because you can speak and talk to everyone no matter what you're doing. I could live on the front porch and sit and watch the waves. Everything you need for the beach is there. Every kind of cooking utensil is there. The Island information book is extremely helpful. It looks like the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure you actually feel like home.
Never a disappointment
by Cathey W.I just returned from "Living the Dream" after a week long stay with five "old" friends. We try to make this trip about twice a year. Never a disappointment. The house is beautifully decorated with all the amenities you would need for a wonderful stay. Love sitting the front porch listening to the waves. Looking forward to the next trip!
Beautiful and Relaxing
by Paula M.Just stayed here for the third time. It's so beautiful and relaxing. Whether you want to go to town or sit on the porch and listen to the waves and watch the beautiful sunsets!!! I would highly recommend this beautiful home.
Thank you.

Great house.
by Chase J.Great house. Very comfortable. Short walk to the beach. Could even drive and park to make it shorter.
I loved the house so much
by Carole W.Thank you so much for letting us stay here. I loved the house so much including the turtle room! I really liked being a couple doors down from my cousins! And thank you so much for the very nice book! It comes in handy!
Can't wait to go back
