Wonderful property with everything you could need available on arrival. The location was ideal to get to every beach. The pool was in excellent shape despite a hurricane coming through days before arrival.

The house was beautiful and lots of room. The pool would have been if hot tub was available and hot. All else was wonderful except for the storm and loosing the last 2 days of our stay

Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful home and all of its space. We’re sorry the hot tub wasn’t available and heated during your stay, and we’ve shared your feedback with our team. We also understand how disappointing it was to lose the last two days of your trip to the storm, and we appreciate your understanding. Guest safety always comes first in those situations. We hope to welcome you back soon for a full stay!

The property was great but the outdoor tv would not connect and that was disappointing. Would have been a great property if the outdoor tv would have worked.

Thanks for staying with us! We're sorry the outdoor TV didn't cooperate during your visit; that's definitely frustrating. We've since had it serviced and tested to ensure it works properly for future guests. We'd love the chance to welcome you back and show you the improved setup. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your next stay!

Beautiful property. Great location. Very clean and well stocked. Very comfortable beds as well.The criticism that we have is that it was never communicated to us that the owner of the property doesn't allow the heater for the hot tube to be used. It was very disappointing and we felt somewhat tricked (the hot tub was one of the reasons we booked the property in the first place). It's unfortunate because the house was otherwise fantastic.
