10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We love the pool at this property which is why we returned to it this year. It is good sized and well maintained. Fun to put chairs on the large entry and sit in the water. The beach access is extremely convenient with a private entrance and no crowds at this section for home owners. Fishing was good. We enjoyed the Green Flash and RC Otter for dinners. We did very much miss the outdoor ping pong table from earlier times, but there are numerous pool toys and sand toys. Several lively spots for morning coffee out back or back balcony. The enclosed front pirch is a quiet spot by sliding the glass living room doors closed. The whole vibe is relaxation! Needed a new over head blub changed in one bathroom and they were there immediately. The Island store is well stocked and makes good subs-but it is a drive to larger stores so stock up on special needs.There were ten of us grandparents, adult children, and grandsons and everyone was happy.

It took us 46 seconds to be on the beach and with 4 kids that’s priceless! Loved the layout of the house not being 3 floors high. Pool was incredible and heated perfectly!

Clean, bright, great pool with tons of sun. Great areas for privacy and entertainment.

The back patio/pool was better than expected! Great sized pool and warm water. The house was exactly as expected from the photos.
