This house was clean and comfortable. Our trip was booked months in advance, but Hurricane Beryl hit the area just 4 days before our scheduled arrival date. When you're buried in lemons, you drink lots of lemonade! The power came on the day before our trip and we had a great time on the island! This home could not be more perfectly located for a visit to the Historic Strand! We basically just slept there, but it's easy to see how a family could use it as a base of operations during a longer trip. Book through Vacasa directly and save yourself the excessive Venmo service fee.

Overall a very nice stay, but we did have some issues which hopefully will be corrected. Pros: Good location for downtown/strand/harbor, comfortable beds, nice layout with living/kitchen & half bath on main floor and bedrooms/baths upstairs. Cons: 1) Upon entering, the loud buzzing from 4 of 6 the mini-split A/C units could not be ignored. Even on low speed, the noise was noticeable. Called in, sent recording as requested and was contacted by maintenance. It was agreed that this would likely take specialist to repair - and it was the weekend-so we just put the fan speeds on low and lived with it. With temps only in the 80s, this was ok but would have been miserable on hotter days. Hopefully this is repaired before the next visitor. 2) Icemaker would not dispense through the door. Upon opening freezer, the unit was off-kilter. It could not easily be removed so we had to reach high into the ice bin to get ice. 3) As noted in another review, the assigned parking is behind the unit but you have to enter through the front door keypad. At night, this is a problem. Also, we are experienced with keypads but this one was quite temperamental. It took multiple tries, punching numbers very slowly, to get through the 10digit entry. We'd suggest adding a keypad on the back door to facilitate entry. 4) We'd suggest cushions for the wicker dining chairs. Sitting more than a few minutes on bare legs caused indentions. We had to put towels on the seats.

This house was conveniently located to The Strand and the harbor. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. We recommend Coastal Grill, Shucks and Riondo’s for some great food. Be sure and walk the neighborhood to see some beautiful restored houses. The oven didn’t work the week we were there. The repairman couldn’t fix it, but we were not planning on baking anyway. Be sure to bring your own essentials such as coffee and filters, tissues, dishwasher and laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc. This was a little gem and we hope to come back soon—and there’s room enough for our kids next time.
