Host was great! We arrived after dark and she came to show us to the property, gave us a tour and offered any assistance we needed. BEST location on island for reaching hiking trails, beaches, stores, gas, etc. Great glamping feel! Clean facilities just outside the room. Fridge, hot plate, microwave, etc in the room and grill on the huge balcony. Would definitely stay here again :)

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at Gifft Hill studio. It was in a great location and had all the amenities needed. The pool was a short walk and was clean and refreshing. Kim was a great host. I would recommend to a friend.

Kim was amazing to work with. Answered all questions quickly, which helped so much with first timers on the island.She was there for check in, made sure we had all we needed, gave us the tour of the property, and where all the equipment was for our use.Having the grill was a huge plus. Worked great for fresh grouper right off the dock.The pool was clean and beautiful. Perfect for late afternoon cool down.Plenty of all that you need in the unit. Bedding, towels, kitchen stuff and gadgets. If it isn’t there, you don’t need it.Highly recommend for a couple that isn’t in the market for the Ritz but wants clean, fully stocked, quiet and with a great host.
