Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home and gardens with the best location on the island. We enjoyed watching the boats and sunsets from the gazebo.(coffee to cocktails) The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We loved walking around the town area. Our golf cart was about a 7-minute walk from the house, and the ferry dock was at the bottom of the hill. It was too windy on our last day to boat so we enjoyed the pool and sandy beach. We loved enjoying breakfast & dinner outside on the porches each day. Hope to be back! ##### Niccole R. ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle G. 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Michelle G.
