The private pool was so nice, especially with littles, to go to when they were over the sand. The elevator was great to have moving stuff in and out and just to bypass so many stairs with older parents. The staff was very responsive with any issues we had (a box spring was broken and a water pressure issue that was due to work on the island). The only negative we experienced that prevents me from giving 5 stars is that the beds were like sleeping on a concrete slab. Some people may like that but we didn’t enjoy that and didn’t provide much rest after being at the beach/pool all day. ##### Meaghan M. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonya A. 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy When we first checked in the A/C was not working as it should have been. The rental company was quick to respond and sent someone out to fix it. ##### Sonya A.
