Closeness to the beach and the vibe of the home was so serene.

Restaurants near by close so early and no night life near by at all. But the property itself was amazing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We had some issues with the code at check in, but our local host was responsive and showed up to help us within 10 minutes of us reaching out. The house was spotless and well stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had all that we need to cook several meals, and we LOVED sitting out on the porch drinking coffee and watching sunrises/sunsets. The location worked perfect for us and was very convenient. We also loved having an outdoor shower after spending the day at the beach. We would 100% recommend this property and would consider staying again if we visit the island.
