The house was very clean and plenty of room for our stay. Very convenient to everything. Our only suggestion is to either provide fans or install ceiling fans in bedrooms. Even with the air conditioner on (can’t drop below 68) it was very stuffy in bedrooms. We tried opening windows but not good with humidity/rain. Also very talkative rooster in the area ?Great stay and would come again!

Peace & Plenty
Classic wooden house off Back Road. Close enough to walk to everything, far enough to be peaceful. Warm stained wood throughout. Snug but comfortable for up to 4 (one queen and two twins). Huge live oaks shade the yard and deck. Looking forward to returning.

Thanks for the feedback, and we look forward to having you stay with us again!

Relaxing
We found rustic charm here and a snippet of a simpler way of life. We came in early Spring, when the weather still made access to and from the island unpredictable, but our stay was quite relaxing. There was an issue with property at first, but the management company took our call on a weekend and the owners quickly fixed it: Steve and Marty, are lovely people.

Awesome place
My brother and I loved your place. We were fishing the entire time. We were only there to sleep. Still a great place and peaceful. We will be back in the spring. Thank you so much. Sorry it took so long to leave a review, it was back to work as usual. You have a very nice place. So great to talk to the owner. Super nice.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is centrally located yet quiet. It was neatly decorated and very cozy. The neighbor greeted us with delicious figs and vegetables from his garden.

Great cozy location
The location is excellent! Right in the middle of everything. The unit itself is very cozy. Perfect for two couples and you could even put a couple kids on air mattress upstairs if you wanted. The owner also lives nearby and is very nice. We’d definitely stay here again.
