The host thought of so many added touches… the amount of hooks to hand towels, suits etc, umbrellas, extra toiletries, beautiful towel displays etc. it did not go unnoticed. The house is superbly decorated as well. ##### Laura H.

This property was just what we needed for our short stay on the Island. Check in and check out we’re fairly simple with minimal hiccups. The property was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. There are rules posted on the wall throughout the property, which was helpful for our teens, but it took away from the home feeling comfortable a bit. Not a big deal, as I understand why they are there. We would probably book again! ##### Kate A.
