"Everything was excellent. We stayed at 4 hotels on 3 islands this trip. Overall this was the best one. Only issue we had is- compared to the other 3 hotels- the food and bar is overpriced- especially desserts. Otherwise- great."

"The unit is updated and provided a perfect view of the ocean. It was a hotel-style accommodation—everything all in one room which was fine for a few days. The only negative is that the unit was hot and the portable AC worked hard to cool the room. Kari was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

"We stay in a lot of VRBOs, and this is in the top 10% of them for sure. Clean, well appointed, terrific hosts, and beach gear!
