This house made our stay on the island perfect! It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing time. The house was clean, has lots of room for everyone and the screened in porch was our favorite place to hang out, drink our morning coffee and watch the hummingbirds:) The hosts are amazing, had zero issues checking in or out. Would definitely rent again if we ever visit the island again!
