Nice Weekend Getaway with Family

Our group of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids) really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect - close enough to get to all the things we wanted without being in the middle of a downtown. Access to the beach was fantastic.Host was quick to respond.

Great place. Close to beach.

We stayed with family and had a great time. The beach is a quick walk away. Dustin was very responsive and helpful. Hot tub was nice. Highly recommend bringing off as the mosquitos were awful outside just about all hours of the day/night.

Perfect house

This was our first time renting on the east end and the house is a perfect location. Just a very short walk to the beach and so close to many restaurants ands activities. The beach was nice and quiet and the golf cart was a nice bonus!! The house was very clean and well equipped. Our kids really enjoyed the hot tub and the massage chair. We would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

Christmas at the beach

Had some cleanliness and maintenance issues that were resolved during our stay. Host was responsive and communicated quickly. Location is excellent to town and beach. Home has a nice big reclining couch, comfortable beds, great WiFi and a huge master shower with perfect water pressure. The observation area at the top was cool to look at the stars or watch tv and husband enjoyed the massage chair. Nice being able to use the garage for access especially when we had a storm come through. The small back yard was convenient for the dogs. The beach access directly behind the house is good, there were always a few people parked there but it wasn’t overly crowded. There were plenty of towels and hand soap provided. No bathing supplies so bring your own shower soap and shampoos. If you’re staying more than a few nights, you’ll need to bring TP, paper towels, and laundry detergent. Plenty of good quality pots, pans and dishes provided including Tupperware type storage. Keep in mind the mosquitos were really bad even in late December. This made sitting outside impossible unless there was a good wind blowing. This was a problem all over the island, not specific to the home. Would recommend the host add some personal welcoming touches that we’ve seen elsewhere - a few bottles of water, wine, notebook of instructions, throw blankets for the couch. We see this a lot at lower price point homes and it adds a special welcoming touch. All in all we had a nice relaxing stay, ordered to go food from local restaurants and walked on the beach at least once a day. A memorable Christmas getaway.

Great view to the west from the front balconies for the sunsets and fireworks. Location was great. The four bedrooms and four bathrooms were clean and very functional. Short walk distance to the beach. Overall just a great beach house property. And host was very accommodating with good communication.

Quiet island getaway

Steven is a great host and the he house was exactly as expected from the pictures. Clean. Quiet. Away from all the usual beach crowds but, close enough to everything that mattered on the island. Wish I could have stayed longer but, will definitely book with Steven the next time around.
