What a great property, especially the kitchen! We loved being able to cook together and not be cramped in the kitchen. The entire house was just great for us to sit, relax and catch up. We thought there was an issue with the pool and they sent someone right out, turns out it was fine we just didn’t realize only one would heat at a time. Great property!

Everyone in our group loved this location for Spring Break. Grandkids loved the heated pool, and adults enjoyed the hot tub. Easy walk to beach, restaurants and parks. We appreciated the games, baby gear, and wagon. Thanks for providing such a wonderful experience.

We had a great time! The house was beautiful, it had the perfect yard for our 2 dogs, there was plenty of room for the whole family. We spent a lot of time together in the dining room for meals and the living room. We actually spent most of our time at the house, it was so comfortable. The kitchen was stocked and easy to use. The location could not have been any better! We were local to everything. It was easy to get off the island as well. Our hosts communicated with us as necessary and were easy to reach when we had questions! I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this house and host to anyone booking a trip!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of Porch Light Cottage. We are so happy to hear the home was such a comfortable place for your family to gather and that the yard worked perfectly for your dogs. It sounds like those meals around the dining table and time spent together in the living room made for a really special stay.  We are also glad the stocked kitchen, convenient location, and easy communication with our team helped everything feel seamless. It truly means a lot that you would recommend the home, and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. -Lauren with Lilmar Vacations
