Property Truths
The property is described as having a "private beach access" rather than having a "private beach". Don't be shocked, this is pretty common. A legal deeded easement states we have 50 feet of beach, but the nearby condominium is contesting this. To date this hasn't affected our travelers, still there is a small possibility "on holiday weekends" of someone asking you to locate your things near the water during that busy time.
Beach Gear Provided
We provide beach towels, chairs, carts, and umbrellas. If you don't have what you need, just reach out and we can usually get it for you. Correction for Air-b-n-b listings this location doesn't provide "snorkeling gear" but this and anything you need can be rented or purchased nearby.
Household Items Provided
We provide bedding, kitchen items, most major and minor appliances, blow dryers, and hangers. Simple soaps and paper products come in starter-supply that will get you through a short stay and anything you need can be purchased nearby.
What to Bring
It's a laid-back island so pack as lite as you like. Our fashion is casual, wash and wear, and all units have laundries. Also, anything you forget to bring can be found nearby in good supply and fair prices.
