Beautiful home and view… however, the listing was inaccurate on amount of beds. Stated there was a 3 tier queen bunk, and twin bunk bed. There is not. Also stated there were kyacks available. When asked about, was told they are not for use. Just felt there was some false advertisement. There was no broom available for use. The hot tub was warm not hot. The oven was terrible. Upon arrival, we were greeted with kind of an unfriendly welcome. We were told, “just making sure your not spring breakers.” Well we were spring breakers, visiting here with our large family. Cameras all around property, which is fine, but just felt a little uncomfortable. On 2 different occasions, random people just pulled up and got out. We did enjoy the game room area, and games. Even caught a sting ray off the dock!

A group of us stayed at the property for a golf trip and had a great time! The location is incredible, with awesome access to the water taxi to get to all of the downtown restaurants. The house itself was beautiful and we enjoyed having enough space and beds for everyone.

Beautiful home in paradise! A group of friends (15ppl total) joined me to celebrate my 40th; this house was perfect- and slept us all comfortably! Clean, all the amenities, comfy beds, etc. I 100% recommend this house! The property management team went above and beyond for us as well. Loved it!

The property is in a great location with relaxing views of the harbor. We had 16 total adults comfortably staying here and had a beach service wedding about 10 minutes away from the house. No complaints from any of our guests. The beach access for the property was 3 minutes, very close and has parking for golf carts. Overall, great property! We are even looking at making this an annual trip.

This house was so relaxing and well equipped, we didn’t even feel the need to leave the house except to go to the beach.

We had great time and enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice. The view is spectacular. Having access to the beach was wonderful. The drawers in the kitchen being labeled made it very easy to find what was needed. There are some issues we'd like to bring to your attention. Cleaning issues- carpet needs to be cleaned, fan blades are filthy, railings going upstairs are dusty, stains on some of comforters, mold in shower (Jack & Jill bathroom), the vents show dust indicating the filters need to be changed. Closet door upstairs is off track. A couple of the shower doors do not close properly. Hopefully the cleaning crew will address these issues.
