Best place on the island
We stay here every year. It’s very spacious, clean, and the response time of the host is unmatched. The amenities are easy to access and never overpopulated. The condos have 4 bathrooms, washer and dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. The porches are a great morning and evening hangout space.

Family Vacay 2024
The home was perfect for my family of 4. The home was equipped with what we needed and the AC worked great. The guidelines were simple to follow. Beach supplies were provided (chairs, umbrella, toys, towels). A few extra rolls of toilet paper would have been more convenient. The bikes weren't in the best condition. One had a flat tire and the others were on the small side. Wish we could have done more biking without the additional cost of renting them. Nice quiet neighborhood. Wonderful pool also.

Accuracy and amenities
The townhouse wasn't as close to the beach as the picture indicates. I did not like the way tankless water heater was set up to operate. Difficult to get and maintain hot water. When I pay the amount of money that I did for these accomodations, I expect to be able to lower the thermostat where I want it to sleep comfortably at night. I do not like being limited to 68 degrees.

We loved the property and there was plenty of room for our adult children to each have a bedroom and bathroom. Having the bicycles at the property was a great touch and enhanced our stay.

Great Place!
Really enjoyed the Cottages. Really nice community with great amenities. The cottage was spotless and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything you need to make a great meal at home. A few overall suggestions… it would be nice to have at least one extra set of towels and pillowcases. The pillows were a little flat/uncomfortable but it didn’t hinder a good nights rest. We will definitely return and had a wonderful peaceful spring break!

Relaxing vacation
Beautiful townhome in a convenient community with a beautiful pool and recreation room. The house was clean, well-stocked, and in wonderful condition. Located between town and the Driftwood beach, it was great for biking and exploring the area. Communication with rental agent was easy, we had an issue with the door code that was promptly fixed. The description said 5 bikes… which was perfect bc we have 5 kids, but there are only 4. Had we known, we would have brought one from home. Otherwise great experience!
