The property was wonderful, the apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay and we had an awesome driver, Lee, which Patricia setup for us. Would have been even better if everything in the area was open but the beach was ultra private as a result and the pool in the complex was awesome.

This was our second stay at the property and it was just as great as the first time. My husband and I love this property as it’s like a home away from home. It’s spacious, clean, quiet and I adore the enclosed patio. It’s in a good location w/ stores and a wonderful restaurant nearby. Patricia is an amazing and attentive host! Our driver Lee was exceptional, dependable, & priced us fairly for all of our travel needs, (876) 438-4120. We highly recommend this unit and would 100% stay again!

This place is absolutely awesome. It satisfied all our needs and more.

Top notch in regard to cleanliness, location and accessibility to everything that you may need and so very peaceful.

Like staying at your thoughtful aunt's place

Everything has been considered in Patricia's property––from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable daybed in the sunroom. It's like staying at your aunt's house: comfortable, clean, taken care of. Patricia was extra thoughtful with me, accommodating my fragrance sensitivities in advance by providing new bedding. This residential development is low-key and serene, with a bayside walkway and a short, easy stroll to a nearby beach.
