We had never been before but had always heard wonderful things and decided to give it a try. We couldn't have been happier with our trip! This little condo is perfect! The property was very clean and well taken care of. It was also decorated so nicely! We also loved that beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a cooler, etc. were supplied in the suite! Since we had to fly to Florida for our honeymoon we couldn't bring any large items with us and that saved us on having to rent beach equipment. The location was excellent and the service leading up to our stay was excellent as well! We were provided with a ton of information prior to check in which was super helpful especially for someone who has never been to the island before! We loved it so much that we want to come back again soon! It is a great little property right on the beach! ##### Melissa W.
