My husband and I had a great time with our 2 children. The home was beautiful and looks just like the photos. The area is very peaceful and later at night you’ll be able to hear the unique sounds of all the different birds living out on the island. Heads up if you’re foodies like us—get dinner earlier in the day or bring your own groceries as a lot of the restaurants out there close on the earlier side & also based on population. Beds were really cozy and we enjoyed having black out curtains for our younger daughter who still takes naps. Our host was very accommodating and helpful and even allowed an earlier check-in after it was cleaned. Would love to come back!

Our check in experience with Avari was very frustrating. They are super difficult to get ahold of in a timely manner. Their message system is not prompt either. Other than that we absolutely loved staying at this house and had such a special and wonderful time.
