Disliked: Cleanliness
The set up of the house was very nice and enough room for my family of 6. About a 8 minute walk to the beach. The photos for the listing do not represent what the house currently looks like. NO chairs on the front deck which would have been very nice to have. The kids loved the pool but the yard was littered with beer bottle caps. Lots of things not available like dish soap, a sponge, garbage bags, dishwasher pods or a spray cleaner to wipe down the countertops. A quick trip to the dollar store remedied it but anywhere I’ve stayed always had those items available. Sato Reality was quick with responses and even sent someone to the house when I was having a problem with the pool alarm. So to wrap it up, would I stay at this home again? Probably not but I did not let any of the things mentioned above ruin my vacation. FYI… bring bug spray! Lots of mosquitoes that I was not prepared for.

The pool was a hit for the grandkids and with the beach within walking distance. The Dolphin boat tour was very interesting with seeing so much of what was damaged in the hurricane and what still needs to be repaired. We rented a golf cart to get around the island and the grandkids really enjoyed that.Going to the beach each day and bringing back shells to take home for souvenirs.I feel that they need more restaurants. The donut shop was a hit. We rode the Trolley a few times when we first got there.Needed more restaurants
