This house is one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. It is clean, well-equipped, and well designed with thoughtful touches throughout the house that made it easy to keep clean and organized for my family. The location was also incredible. A short drive to the beach and walking distance to shops, restaurants, ice cream places, and even an arcade for my little one. We are a family of four with two young children and we plan to come back to this great house!

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.

Great place overall to stay at. First day check in was a little rough due to it not being cleaned on time but everything else went great.

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.

This coastal gem was in a great location. It is walking distance to local shops and restaurants and centrally located to all activities on the island. The check in and out process was smooth and easy. The house was clean and equipped with all the essentials. It was so nice not having to pack sheets and towels. Toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and hand soap was provided. The TV system was awesome with unlimited options for nightly movies. Lots to appreciate when choosing a rental. We will definitely love to rent again.
