May 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Clean home, good condition, great value for the money We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and well kept. It was our first time to stay on the bay side of the island after years of staying on the beach side. We rented a golf cart which got us around the island and helped us feel like we were more at the beach and not on an inner lot. Value is awesome for what you get. Thank you for opening your home to us. ##### Amy C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew H.

Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it!! As soon as we drove up we were all very excited as soon as we saw the pool and then as we walked in we were amazed on how beautiful it was. We felt right at home! Everything was very clean and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again in the near future. No issues at all and made our little vacay very special. The kitchen area provided everything you may have needed as well as if you needed to use the washer and dryer. The only thing that we weren’t able to figure out was the lights to the pool and it appeared that the light bulbs needed to be changed because they did not work but other than that I would stay here again. ##### Amanda C.
