This property was just perfect for a relaxing vacation. Just steps away from the ocean, and with a lovely pool to relax after spending the afternoon on the beach was just what we needed. The location in Plantation was ideal for walking our dog too. This was a great find for us and would definitely like to return. Communication from the host was perfect and check in easy!

This is one of those rare properties where you get what is advertised at a reasonable price. There were some minor issues that could have made the trip absolute bliss, but even if they are not addressed, we’d seriously consider booking this place again. Highlights are the short walk to the beach. The pool that’s open 24/7. The kitchen that is well equipped for any vacation cook. Most importantly, landscaping that mostly secludes you from the rest of your neighbors. If you want some peace and quiet with quick beach access, this is the place for you. I’m certain my wife and I will be back again with her family in tow. I’m going to be so happy to say ‘I’m just fine sitting on the porch’. They can go spend the day on the beach.

The property owner is very sweet and informative on any information regarding the island or events going on. Would highly recommend booking this home for your vacation.
