Gem By The Sea
This rental is located perfectly in the heart of the island. Everything you need is within driving distance and the beaches are clean. We didn’t have to contact the owners during our stay but they were very attentive and would send a text to check in and see how we were or if we needed anything. Very considerate and friendly people, will book again in the future!

Great location and price!
This is a beautiful house in a lovely quiet area close to the beach. Spacious and cozy, with comfortable beds in all the 3 rooms, nice kitchen, and comfortable sitting area. The house is best for a group of 8 to 10. The house was clean and communication with Josh was quickly responded. We forgot a kindle ebook and Josh was prompt to ship it back.
We had such a great experience staying at this house.
Definitely highly recommended!

Home Away From Home
We rented this property on short notice and the owners were very accommodating and friendly! The location is perfect, just a few minutes drive from the beach and lots of souvenir shops around to browse.
The rental was clean and the rooms were very spacious yet cozy. We loved that the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals, I will definitely be renting again in the future!

Loved it!
‘Place In The Sun' was such a great stay for my family! We were minutes from the beach, seconds from the pool, and close to everything on the island. The neighbors were friendly and the kids all made fast friends at the pool for the afternoon. The house was clean, Josh was very responsive, and we look forward to staying again soon!
