10/10 Excellent
"Considering the property faced very bad hurricane damage only 10 months ago, it is in remarkable shape, almost so that you would not even know it had been damaged. The room was very clean, nice but interesting decor, and a nice shower in a roomy bathroom. Funky vibe about the property. Breakfast was excellent (the only meal I ate there unfortunately). Staff were friendly, and talkative when involved in conversation. I've wanted to stay there a long time and I wasn't disappointed with anything during my stay."

"The kitchen is being renovated so there was no food, however, there is a snack area. The room was clean and there is a nice view, the front desk person was courteous. I will return if I have business in that parish. "

"This hidden gem was more than I expected and I was super surprised and feel blessed because I had the place all to myself the entire stay and I really enjoyed the pool. The house was gorgeous, clean, beds were comfortable and everything was in working condition. The check in process was seamless. I am definitely looking forward to staying here again."

"Stayed for 4 weeks. Right next door to Jake’s and Jack Sprat. This is a smaller hotel and it was very quiet. For most part it’s like no one else was there, so my daughter and I got the place to ourselves. I liked the quiet and tranquility. My daughter wanted the opposite, so we made friends with the locals and my daughter played with there kids. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool, at the beach and exploring locally. We were also able to get our hair braided by off duty employee at a great price. Lots of food choices (pricey but good). I will definitely be returning."

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, Allison, Ms. Beverly, Troy, and the housekeeping staff welcomed us with such genuine warmth and kindness that they truly felt like family by the end of our stay. Saying goodbye was incredibly emotional because they made us feel so at home.The daily breakfasts and dinners were absolutely delectable—every meal was prepared with care and was something we looked forward to each day. The food was truly one of the highlights of our vacation.A special thank you to Ms. Carol, whose communication was exceptional from start to finish. Whenever I had a question or concern, she responded promptly and made sure everything was addressed immediately. Her professionalism and attentiveness gave us complete peace of mind throughout the planning process and our stay.The villa itself was breathtaking—beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and looked like something straight out of the pages of a luxury home magazine. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it the perfect setting for our family vacation.We’re all so sad that our vacation has come to an end, but we’re leaving with unforgettable memories and full hearts. Thank you for making our stay so special. We will absolutely be back!"
