Great beach access. Central location on the island. Not overcrowded. Ground floor unit was in good shape considering the hurricane in 2024.Bedroom could use blackout curtains (it gets bright in there in the AM) and the road noise was a bit loud.

Furthest unit from pool & beach BUT we loved it.

Older small unit without a lot of niceties. Pretty bare bones. We were given half of a sponge in the kitchen and a teeny tiny Palmolive. 2 bathroom wash clothes. The beach is so private and beautiful. The pool is kept in perfect condition and is a nice temperature. We had a nice stay. Margaret in the office was incredible.

The property is accurately described, nice front room with kitchenette. The bedroom is fine and the bathroom too. Folks at the office are very nice and helpful.

Cozy, quiet condo

The unit was just as described. We enjoyed a quiet 4 day stay. We really enjoyed the use of the bikes. The beach was not crowded. The ice maker did not work well. We turned it on Thurs morning and by Saturday morning we had about 15-20 ice cubes. There was an ice cube tray to use.
