Getting Around:
Getting around is easy and enjoyable. Most of our homes are located in residential areas where you can walk, bike, ride a scooter, or rent a golf cart to explore. The islands are relatively small, and with a 25 mph speed limit on most streets, the area stays safe, family-friendly, and relaxed.
Other Things to Note:
Guests should be aware this is a third floor apartment that is part of a larger home located above a restaurant. The building’s entry foyer is the only shared space. From there, each unit has its own foyer leading to its private entrance.
There is no dedicated parking. One street-parking pass is provided.
Interaction with Guests:
We live right down the street! Please do not hesitate to give us a call or text if you need anything. Otherwise, we like to give our guests their own space to relax and enjoy their stay.
