Great location & plenty of room for large group.
This was the perfect rental for our group of 13 with ages ranging from 4 to 65!!! The location is amazing and worth the extra money. We were walking distance to the beach, great view from the balcony, & the pool was great! Everything was clean, plenty of towels, plenty of space, and once again you can not beat the location. The air doesn't work that great but the owner did mention that to us. She said it is one of the oldest homes on the island so the air isn't going to keep freezing cold like we like it. But there were a lot of fans throughout the house. We usually keep our house 68 degrees and with the fans at the house we actually got cold. So it was not a big issue. The owner was available if we needed and asked a few times if we needed anything to let them know.
You can't go wrong with this house, if you are debating just do it, I promise it will be worth it!!!
