Perfect Spot for Beach Walks and Sunset
We enjoyed the many spots to read and maybe even work a bit! The crofter was truely lovely - did not feel like an outpost, but rather a lovely retreat. I would highly recommend all kinds of groups.

Great communication
Tropical Storm Debby made an appearance during our trip, but Tyler and Barbara made us feel at ease and comfortable with their regular communication about the storm and the island status. The home was clean and lovely!

La dolce vita was indeed the sweet life
Our house was spectacular and Tyler and Barbara were stellar hosts.
The house was steps to the most expansive beach I’ve ever seen and stocked incredibly well. We had a ball even with the threat of idalia (hurricane) breathing down our necks. Barbara and Tyler kept us informed and stocked with flashlights in case the storm became problematic. All in all 10/10!

Perfect vacation property
This ocean front property was recently renovated with state of the art stove/oven, flooring, kitchen appliances as well as all of the comforts of home. It was very spacious and inviting for a large family and was conveniently located to the grocery store and many amenities. Would definitely book again. The property managers were friendly and promptly addressed my questions .

Nice duplex, some issues
Well furnished, clean, good communication with the property manager. Door to crofter wouldn’t shut without someone on both sides helping force it shut which made it difficult to keep bugs out. Manager was aware and was sympathetic but it was a difficult situation as the door likely needed to be replaced which would have been a big undertaking with renters present. Upstairs balcony has a beautiful view but the amount of furniture felt lacking (two chairs and small table) and made it difficult to accommodate a group of the size the home is marketed to. The couches are very nice but lacked any throw pillows and were covered with a cheap protector, not a slip cover. This would be a 4 star review if it weren’t for the door issue which hopefully will be fixed, but certainly impacted our stay.

We loved it!
Barbara was a great host, very easy to speak to and quick on replies, which is much appreciated. The home was perfect! VERY, VERY clean and beautiful. The property and home are well maintained. The house was clean, it had new furniture, a great layout, a well-stocked kitchen with nice upgrades like the Vitamix, and is in a great location. We walked to the beach almost daily. The walk is 1-2 min and easy since you take the wood path straight to the beach. The beaches are not crowded in this area which is nice, and it was great taking a morning stroll to the point. This is a perfect house for families, TVs in every room, well-maintained bikes, bunks for the kids and the “Crofter” for the grandparents. It has a wonderful layout for a wonderful family vacation.
We have previously stayed in other homes in BHI but going forward we will plan to stay here. Thank you so much, we had an excellent trip!

Great location
We Loved our stay at Flora's bluff. The house was newly renovated, clean and bright. The location is very central and easy to get to the stores and all parts of the island. The beach outside the house is great for kids, not a lot of people and the waves are a bit more tame.
