Thank you so much for this amazing review. We're so happy to hear how much you loved the home. It's great to know the cleanliness, updated kitchen and bathrooms, and furnishings all stood out, and that you were able to take full advantage of the beach gear and enjoy the pool at the perfect temperature. That combination of comfort and convenience is exactly what we hope every stay feels like. The location really is hard to beat, and we're so glad it made getting to the beach and around the island easy for you. We would absolutely love to have you back. Be sure to reach out to us directly when you're ready to book again so we can apply your return guest discount!
