Beautiful Relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!
