The house was clean and so nice inside.Super easy walk to the beach and the kids loved being able to walk to the nearby stores for shopping and ice cream.The host was super responsive and helpful. We look forward to hopefully staying again soon!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed and furniture were very comfortable as well. We lost our cat on the last day there. The property manager worked with us to extend our stay. Thankfully we were able to find our cat! Overall we really enjoyed our time at Island Joy.

This home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood that is walkable. The home is clean and has most everything you need. The decor is nice and some thought was given to providing storage space for you. If it were my place, I would update the windows and add a fence in back. Great little house. We would totally stay there again.

Great remodeled house

The owners did a great job remodeling this house. Kitchen and bathrooms looked wonderful. It is the perfect location too, so close to restaurants and the beach. We walked everywhere once we got there. Definitely recommend the house.

Joyful stay at Island Joy!

My family and I had a wonderful week at Island Joy! The home was very well cared for, clean, beautifully decorated and had all the comforts of home! We loved riding bikes around the island, visiting the fishing pier and dining at the many nearby restaurants. We all slept extremely well and were very comfortable in this coastal gem!! Being able to bring our dog was such a treat!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Quick beach getaway

We had a great stay at Island Joy and would recommend this home to others. The home is nicely updated, well kept and clean. We came for a quick trip but would loved to stay for longer as we felt comfortable in this home, fit our family perfectly and close to anything we needed. Sheets and towels provided including beach towels. Kitchen is fully stocked with all the pans, dishes and utensils needed. Spices, cooking spray and condiments will need to be included in your packing list. Overall great home for vacationing.

Perfect Fit

The property was a perfect fit for our family. The house was exquisitely designed, with thoughtful details at every turn. The location was close to groceries, restaurants, and the beach.
