We loved the first floor unit with a beautiful garden view. It was a short walk to the heated pool and white sand beach. Everything was provided for relaxation - plenty of beach chairs, beach towels, noodle for the pool, and umbrellas for shade. We will return.

Great beach access. Central location on the island. Not overcrowded. Ground floor unit was in good shape considering the hurricane in 2024.Bedroom could use blackout curtains (it gets bright in there in the AM) and the road noise was a bit loud.

Great weekend getaway for 2

The room itself was clean and was well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a perfect location for 2 people to spend a couple days at the beach with access to some good local restaurants . The property itself is a bit outdated but it’s hard to beat the location.

Very quiet and beautiful resort, love the screened in porches and full kitchens! Pool was very clean, as was the rest of the property. Nothing fancy, but I personally like that, and the short stroll to the beach is absolutely beautiful! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful,also.
