We had an amazing stay here! The views were incredible WOW!! We didn’t want to leave. It had everything you needed. People mentioned there’s a lot of stairs but we didn’t mind at all. Especially with the reward that awaits you with those views. We did have an issue with the golf cart at one point but the host was prompt and got it fixed immediately which we were so thankful for. Highly recommend this place to anyone!!

My family loved the home! Although, we didnt have hot water for showers, which was a bummer, but it might have to do with the water restrictions the island is on.
