Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home is wonderful, clean and well supplied. Belinda was quick with her communication. We had planned to travel by boat which is more specialized but because of recent storms we moved to plan B. More information would be helpful about what is available and how to get around on the island itself. Island businesses info is not accurate online which was not in Belinda's control. She tried to assist. Dave at the Island Harbor Marina is a good contact. The island is quiet and relaxing. ##### Madonna R. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patti H.
