Beautiful location

The house is more updated than the photos show. The house needs shower handles updated because we were lucky to get them to turn on. The men who "manage" the rental were beyond rude. The golf carts are complete trash we broke down more than we drove. We plugged them up every time we parked them and still ended up stranded daily. We ended up leaving a day early because we were so over it! The location is great but don't plan on exploring the island with their golf carts. Also, the beds and pillows are awful. The sheets are stiff and the pillows are flat and haven't been replaced in ages I'm sure. Also they barely had any extra blankets. For the price of this rental you should at least be able to be comfortable.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time with regards to the home, the beach, and laid back activities. The home was recently remodeled, was clean and inviting. We were looking for a quiet beach and we certainly found it. We will likely return to the island in the future.
The biggest negative by far was the golf cart experience. 5 carts in 5 days. The first two would not hold a charge and left us sit after traveling about a mile. The next one had headlights but the switch was broken and we had to use a flashlight to get back home. The next one had a wheel bearing that went out. We ended our stay with one that moved and had lights so we didn’t complain about the grinding noise in the back. I don’t know what you need to do to get a newer cart, but these were old.

Spacious house right on the beach. It is closer to the beach then the pictures show, which was great. The sunsets are right I front of the house on the water, and they were spectacular! The house is in the process of a remodel and with new furniture. So by next summer this house will be even more beautiful.

House needs TLC

The property is beautiful & right on the beach! That being said, there were constant problems during our stay: upstairs & downstairs a.c. went out, a rather large leak in a downstairs bedroom, the golf cart wouldn’t stay charged (& you need it to get to the pool/restaurants), the outlet for the cart was burned/sparking, wood rot on outside railings, no cable tv, etc. The maintenance man, Jeremiah, was incredible & prompt!!! I wish I could say the same for the property management team. Hours would go by before we heard back from them! Rarely did you get someone to answer the phone. This was our 1st time at this resort & probably our last because of the management. The restaurant & maintenance people were great!
