Beautiful home and gardens with the best location on the island. We enjoyed watching the boats and sunsets from the gazebo.(coffee to cocktails) The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We loved walking around the town area. Our golf cart was about a 7-minute walk from the house, and the ferry dock was at the bottom of the hill. It was too windy on our last day to boat so we enjoyed the pool and sandy beach. We loved enjoying breakfast & dinner outside on the porches each day. Hope to be back!

Extremely pleased with overall stay. House was located in excellent location with a beautiful view of the harbor and entryway for all boats into Hopetown. House was very clean and property manager was very attentive to any needs that may arise. Pool was very nice as well as porches. Would definitely recommend for two couples or a small family of four. Plan to rent again next year.
