AGE & SAFETY POLICY:
The property includes a pool and hot tub and is not childproofed. Guests are responsible for supervising children at all times. Our property is designed and equipped for adult and teen guests. Due to safety considerations - including the pool, hot tub, stairs, elevated decks, and cleaning products - parental supervision is required.

Thanks for understanding!

LOCATION:
The location is my favorite thing about the property. I enjoy the amazing breezes and the convenience of a central location. The entire island is only 2.5 miles long and the entire island is accessible by a golf cart and/or bikes. The home is conveniently located mid-island and just 1 block from Memorial Park which has a YMCA, Library, island-themed playground, and basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts. Additionally, the home is located close to the beach access boardwalk at 6th Street via a short 4-block walk (roughly a 5 minute stroll).
