Nice Bay View
Well maintained. Nice property that is well furnished and stocked.Wish there were some Bluetooth speakers available to tap into. No toilet and sink ground level was an inconvenience.Please let property managers know that the electrical outlet by the hot tub was not working. If there is a switch to turn the power to it I did not see it marked. Also it would be great if the child alarm could be disarmed when only adults on property. It is annoying to have it alarm every time you go into door because it can only be disarmed when exiting.

Wonderful Place
This property had it all. The heated pool, hot tub and putt-putt were put to use every day. There were 6 beach chairs, toys, kayak, paddle board and bikes in the garage. We rented golf carts and the beach was 4 blocks away. 4 king size beds were a must. When we had questions they would email us right back. We will be back next year!

Stunning sandtrap
The property is utterly stunning and we couldn’t have had a better 7 day stay. The host was on hand for any questions or issues that arose that was only related to the lift that stopped working. They were friendly and professional and very quick to resolve. The location is perfect and the island offers a free trolley almost out front of the property.
