Awesome, but the bed….
5/5 I probably didn’t read the fine print to find out that the bed in the master is just a full, not a queen. The queen is the fold out couch. Not only was it too small, it also has a distinct “dip” in the middle. Otherwise, we loved the place and would book again.

Cute Beachy Cottage
5/5 This is a cute two bedroom cottage. It has been fully renovated and decorated accordingly. In a good area and still close to everything! There’s only one bathroom but it is huge! Only one minor issue with towels and the tub and the property manager took care of it immediately! Definitely 5 stars and I highly recommend to any family that doesn’t want to be squished in a hotel room!

Fantastic location and lovely property
5/5 Owner was amazing with communication and easy to follow instructions. The property was in excellent condition and perfect decor for the island. The location was even better than expected. It was in a beautiful historic neighborhood with several excellent eateries within 2-3 blocks. My family was comfortable and relaxed for the duration of the stay. We would rent this property again.
