Nice stay

We stayed at this property over Memorial Day weekend. It was nice to have the 5 bedrooms for our group. This property is not super close to the beach, but it's definitely walkable (10 min walk). We rented a golf cart and that made getting to the beach super simple and it was fun to explore around the island on the golf cart too. The location is great for activities and restaurants. The place was spotless when we checked in. The outdoor shower is great - very clean and big. I usually don't like outdoor showers (I usually find them creepy) but I used this one every day - very clean and open. Overall it was a great trip.
