A great place to relax

We really enjoyed the laid back pace of the island. The house was in a quiet neighborhood. All amenities needed were available. The walk to the beach was short and easy.

Will need to drive to beach

Clean house but not a short 3 min walk to beach. It was a little hard to cool the house in the evenings and the master ceiling fan didn’t change speeds nor did the light turn on. HOWEVER, the neighborhood is central on the island, the BEST restaurant is in the neighborhood, the house is clean, the host is very responsive, and house well stocked. Would book again

Our family of four and our dogs had a great vacation here! This house was perfect for meeting all of our basic needs. The two bedrooms and king size bed and twin beds were perfect. Kitchen was clean, had everything we needed to cook all meals. There is one regular size sofa and one loveseat in the living room. I think it’s important to note that there is a back house/ cottage that is also rented out. We weren’t able to use the backyard while we were there because the other guests had 2 large dogs. We didn’t mind however because having our dogs be able to stay there with us was phenomenal! Overall it was relaxing and peaceful. Neighborhood was quiet and balcony/ porch area was awesome!

peaceful getaway

Enjoyed our stay on Ohara Drive. The host was easy to contact and always responded quickly. Kitchen was well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of linens in bathroom. My only complaint was the stairs but maybe that is because I am 77!! Will probably rent it again next year. It was peaceful and quiet.

Adequate

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. Rain & tornado kept us inside for a few days. Not in property management control. However, as advertised, the beach may be within walking distance if you are in your 20's. It's a long walk-through high grass/weed and water. Wife & I in our 70's could not get to it. Only 1 day at the beach was disappointing. Also, a note on the refrigerator stated free parking at the beach if stamped by the police department which is not so, beach is not included with the signed police authorization slip. The home had everything we needed and was comfortable. It is a good deal for the price.

No frills but ok

Definitely no frills, we booked this with the intention of not being in it much beyond sleeping and showering and it served us well for that. It might be time for some updating, but it’s usable and for the price, I couldn’t beat it to have our own space. Be prepared if you have younger kids, there is no cable but 31.4 is the channel for old school cartoons the internet worked fine so my teen was happy
