Great location! The place was very clean, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The beach and bay were just steps away, and the trip was amazing.

Amazing vacation spot! The house was well equipped for us, the kids and our dog. Amazing access to the docks and beach. We could not have wished for more!

It was a wonderful place. We really liked it and we're going to rent it again. It was a blast and calming and my son said that he's going to rent it too. Thank you so much! It was really nice and clean just right for relaxing. Thanks again!

Hi David, We love hearing this! It sounds like you guys truly got the full Beach Hair Don’t Care experience, relaxing, having fun, and just enjoying the island life. Hearing that you’re already planning another trip and that your son wants to book a stay too made our day. We work hard to keep the place clean, comfortable, and ready for guests to unplug and recharge, so it’s great to hear it hit the mark for you. Thanks again for staying with us, David. We can’t wait to have you back on the island for round two! 🏝️🌊

Jamie is amazing as is her place. Fabulous time on LGI! The place was in great shape with outstanding amenities. That's by far the best VRBO stay I have experienced. Great communication from Jamie, the home is well stocked and well kept. I don't worry about giving it such a high rating as I don't want to compete with y'all to stay there next year.

Incredible experience. Perfect place to get away, detach and unplug. The island and the home have an idyllic vibe. The home was beachy, clean, comfortable and in perfect condition. Well stocked with everything we could need and want. Uncluttered with whitewashed wood and a great mix of beach themed art and decor. Jamie was very helpful with us on our inaugural trip to the island. Looking forward to coming back.

My family of 5 and I (spouse, three kids - 6, 6, 8) stayed here during our spring break and it was absolutely perfect for us. The home is ideally located between the docks and the beach, so we never felt compelled to rent a golf cart - we could walk wherever we needed to go! The house was immaculately clean (which was so very much appreciated); the kitchen was very well stocked with all the items we needed; and the beach items were so nice to have for our multiple daily trips to and from the beach. Jamie was super responsive and insanely helpful for all questions leading up to and during our trip. We would definitely consider renting here again!!

Words fail me for the bliss this home is. There’s everything you could possibly need. Eveything is cozy and warm and perfect. If we need to get granular…the furnishings are perfect, linens are high quality, dishes great, towels are plentiful….honestly it’s the best 3 weeks we have experienced anywhere (and we owned a rental in Turks and Caicos and this put our place to shame with everything it had. We still had things missing even thought we thought we had it all). We will be back for an entire month next year!

Chrystie, Thank you so much for this. Seriously, comments like this mean the world to me. I am very grateful for your business, but also grateful that you recognized the amount of detail and thought that went into stocking and setting up the home. I wanted it to feel comfortable, cozy, welcoming, and fully equipped where you truly could just show up and enjoy your stay without feeling like something was missing. Coming from someone who owned a rental in Turks and Caicos, that compliment honestly says a lot and made my day. We have poured a lot into this place, right down to the linens, dishes, towels, and little details, so hearing that it stood out to you is very rewarding. Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for taking such great care of the home. I would absolutely love to have you back next year for a full month!
