Everything about this villa was amazing. This was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. It smelled fresh and clean the moment we walked in. Everything was decorated beautifully. We had everything we needed for our stay. It was just as described. The host even went above and beyond to leave out a pack and play for our infant to sleep in since we were trying to minimize the amount of luggage we could take on the boat. We would definitely use them again! ##### Kayla W.

Everything is extremely clean, with many special touches. The communication prior to our visit was immediate and so thoughtful in every aspect of our trip planning.

You cannot beat the view from this spacious and cheerful villa. If we weren't throwing tennis balls to our dog on the beach, or tooling around in the included golf cart, we were relaxing on the enormous screened porch. The Captain's Choice is as peaceful and beautiful as the island itself, and we hope to return next year. By the way, I haven't found a nicer host! ##### Michelle M.

The beds and linens were very comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were very roomy and great for our group. Plenty of room to hang out together or spread out and relax alone. The walk to the beach was short and easy, if our group split up and the golf cart wasn’t available. WiFi worked great. If you’re planning on being on the island on a Sunday, bring enough food to cook for all of your meals because Most food places will be closed. This was a wonderful place to kick back and relax! ##### Julie P.

Our host was very responsive and easy to work with. The home itself, especially with the big front porch looking out at the ocean, just knocked our socks off. My 12 year old insisted on sleeping out on the "summer porch" as his grandmother called it. We'll be back. ##### Eric B.

But nevertheless- credit is certainly due here. 1- EXCEPTIONAL Vrbo property manager. Terri is FANTASTIC. I found the welcome packet super helpful as well as a map of the island. 2- the owners thought of literally everything. Anything you can imagine meeting, it was certainly there. It made our stay so easy and so pleasant. Now let’s get to the good stuff. The island is special. It’s mystical and enchanting and it just sucks you in and I honestly wish I didn’t have to leave. The beach? MAGICAL! We were the only family on the entire beach. I had a straight up spiritual moment one morning, walking on the beach that I will never forget. The people of the Islander so friendly, and they love to talk about the history and everything to do with it. Once you get over, the fact that there is no major restaurant or grocery store, you can learn to live there!! Highly recommend reading the welcome packet and taking the tips that they give you! Grab as many groceries as possible before leaving Hilton had to take on the ferry! By the way, absolutely recommend sitting on the top of the ferry so you can watch the dolphins on your ride over. My teenage son asked when are we coming back. I think that speaks VOLUMES! Thank youuuyy ##### Madi S.

The house is great with one of the best front porch views there.
