Just as Advertised Clean and cozy place just minutes from everything you need. On the side of the island away from the tourist, yet close to all amenities. Only a 3 minute walk from porch to sand. Can’t ask for much more from a host, all around 10! :)

10/10!! We had an absolutely perfect stay! The house was exactly as described and pictured—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It was the perfect romantic getaway for us. Being just a short walking distance to the beach made it even better. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend this place to others. We’re already looking forward to renting again in the future!
