We rented this little cottage and brought along our spouses. The cottage had everything we needed including beach items. It was in close proximity to the beach and well within a hop skip and jump to the beach. The listing was just as described. We rented a golf cart during our stay and were within a couple of minutes ride to Hurricanes Hanks and souvenir shops. It was also a short ride to the Waterline Resort/Marina where we took a private sunset sail on the flip flops sail boat. The only issue we had was not being able to open the safe but management was right on it. I would highly recommend this gem if your considering visiting the island. Absolutely beautiful environment and very well maintained! ##### JULIE S.
