My husband and I visited for his Family Reunion. We absolutely love the house. It was close to all the activities. It’s a private, and secure hidden treasure. Ken was so cool! Extremely nice and accommodating. Jose, one of the staff members had the most pleasant smile, and welcoming demeanor. After finding out more about his family, we believe he may be related. His and my husband’s last names are the same and they are from the same neighborhood. We had great conversations with Ken and Jose . We would definitely stay at this location again. They made us feel like family.RR and ST

You're crazy not to take advantage of this place.

We've stayed a tons of house-share places and this has to be one of the best experiences. The location on the island is fantastic. Very central to just about about everything. The owners went out of their way to provide us with everything we needed, including purchasing new beach equipment that was extremely useful. It is the most amazing setting in the middle of a huge botanical garden. Communication was almost immediate and they gave us several suggestions of where to eat, what to do, etc. Everything was very clean and the shower was huge (despite having very little water pressure but I'm sure that's just a condition of living on an island). If we ever went back, we would certainly look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful setting mid island, close to everything with everything you need

Ken's place at Cruzan Gardens was fantastic. The place was a roomy efficiency with a large bathroom, all the necessities and a very comfortable king size bed. The outdoor kitchen was great, we grilled steaks and shrimp for the Superbowl. Beach chairs and towels were included which was awesome. the kitchen was stocked with oil and spices. The tap water is drinkable thanks to an installed filtration system. Our little cottage was very private despite being located in an operational garden center business. We had our own well manicured lawn and what felt like our own little sugar mill which was just steps away from our front door. Ken was a fantastic host. 5/5 stars highly reccomend.

Tropical Oasis

I have stayed at many different VRBO places and this probably at the top of my list! It was everything I had imagined and more! The cottage was absolutely beautiful inside and out! It was very convenient to everywhere I wanted to go and the host was beyond friendly and helpful! I had a cancelled flight to go home and with a short text I was able to return to the cottage for the night and was offered a ride back to the airport if needed. I would stay here over and over again! Thank you!

Could have stayed forever!

This place is a dream. I am so glad we happened to find it with the dates that worked for our trip, seems like a miracle there was a gap in their calendar. We were so blessed by our time here! I could have spent another week just enjoying the property grounds and really feeling at home while on vacation. Ken went above and beyond to assist us on multiple occasions! He is truly an amazing host and an irreplaceable wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things horticulture. Even if you don't know the slightest thing about gardening, you'll be glad to stay here to soak in the natural world around you. I cannot recommend this place enough! Hope to return some day very soon! Thank you Ken for the hospitality!

The Nursery

I stayed 8 days in a cottage located on a large Nursery , approximately 14 acres. If you enjoy nature, this is the place for you. Gate locks after hours. You receive a gate opener so that you may enter and leave at any time. Ken is the owner. Really nice gentleman and easy to talk to. Met his wife as well. Recommend it highly for nature lovers!!
