Perfect Family Spring Break Vacation

We loved our stay here! The location was great and a quick walk to the beach. It was great to have the beach supplies available too. It was so convenient to have the pool in the backyard. We enjoyed grilling out and relaxing by the pool. Although the house is close to everything, you fee secluded by the pool. The house had everything we needed. We loved our visit.

Perfection

Gumbo Cottage was absolutely perfect for our AMI vacation. Check in/out was super easy, the quality and condition of the property was impeccable and communication was clear. Hopefully we can stay in this property again in our next AMI trip. Thanks to Lulu’s for going above and beyond!

Fun in the sun

Perfect location - Beach short walk & home has a great cart for chairs, umbrella & cooler that were all there to utilize for the days at the beach. Restaurants, bars, liquor store, souvenir, hardware, small market, post office - all within a very short walk. Free trolley for island exploration stops nearby & if you want to be out late - the monkey bus is fantastic - also free, but don’t be that guy, tip the driver!! Great dog park within walking distance. The backyard of the house is entirely fenced - great space for the pooch, too. Wonderful pool & lovely landscaped backyard Great big kitchen space Very comfy beds

Perfect!

We were blown away by Gumbo Cottage. It was the best beach rental we’ve ever stayed in. It is spotless, has everything you need including beach wagon, towels and well-stocked kitchen. The pool and yard are gorgeous . It is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We will definitely be back.
