Our stay at the Promise Tree was perfect! The property was beautiful, spacious and comfortable for a large group to be there together. The owners are lovely people, so responsive and supply everything you could think of! The outdoor living & dining area created a relaxing atmosphere and was everyone’s favorite place to hangout!

This property was perfect for our large multi generational family. Everyone had their own space while still being close to each other. The kids loved being able to be in the pool while everyone else hung out in the outdoor living area. Our host Esther was great. Communications was easy and she was so nice.

This house was so amazing!! There was 11 of us and we had more than enough room. The pool is so pretty especially at night with the different colored lights. The outdoor area is so pretty and a perfect place for our whole family to gather. We would definitely recommend this house. It was beautiful, clean, well equipped. Love it.

Trying to find a place for 14 people ranging in ages from 2 - 86, is not so easy. Communication with the owners before booking the Promise Tree was so helpful! They got back to me so quickly! We arrived quite early, and Esther was kind enough to allow us an early check in. It was pouring rain and as we were trying to place everyone in the best rooms for our entourage, Esther came over and explained where everything was, and how things worked. The property is so big and absolutely beautiful! They have everything you will need while you’re there. Pack and plays, beach chairs, snorkel gear, even water shoes in sizes for almost everyone. Coolers, wagons, umbrellas! The pool was used every day, rain or shine!It was such a great fit for our large family. Thank you Esther for your prompt replies to my many questions! Your communication is stellar! Thank you for your kindness, and creating such a wonderful place for families to gather. MahaloSteve and Debbie Vega

The place is truly amazing. Clean, comfortable for whole family and excellent views from house. The owners have well planned and provide most if not everything you will need while on island (beach supplies etc). Such a wonderful property. Highly recommend.
