Well equipped beach house
The home is old, but solidly built and very loved. It had everything that we needed. My family of 4 and 2 big dogs had a great stay. Great location, very private. We rented bikes and rode everywhere. The food on the island is way expensive and choices are limited, so we brought groceries from home and prepared almost all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen. There was a tropical storm that hit rhe island during our stay, but we felt very safe in the house. We love the island and the house and would definitely stay here again.

Underwhelmed but grateful
Happy to be on the island but the property was very underwhelming. Grateful for a fenced yard for our dog, but it was in very bad need of maintenance. Weeds everywhere and miscellaneous items scattered about. It could be a fantastic spot with some care. The beds were very uncomfortable. The kitchen is so small you cannot really prepare food very well. Not a great space for a family gathering. With some care and attention the house has potential. Would not rent again.

Happy Place
From the pictures in the listing I thought the interior looked dated. After staying there (and reading a blog by the previous owner) it’s clear they purposefully chose the dark wood walls and floors. Definitely has a cabin feel. The loft upstairs is huge. I hope the owner will add a bathroom upstairs and fix the ac up there. The kitchen is small but has lots of pots, pans, dishes and utensils.
The screened porch was great! Big rockers and pillows on the swing. We really enjoyed this.
The big soaking bathtub was so relaxing! The fully fenced yard was wonderful for my dog and the backyard itself has walkways and decks throughout. For a family of 4 plus a 3 month old baby and dogs, we had enough space to spread out and enjoy ourselves.
