What Guests Are Saying
“absolutely amazing and we will be using yall again”
“Jessica’s place was awesome can’t wait to go back!! She was a awesome host!!”
“We loved this cute little house!! Pros were great house lots of utensils and cookware provided didn’t even need to bring any. Lots of towels and rags provided. Loved the pool and the out house that was full of video games and a foosball’s table. Loved the back porch. The master bedroom shower was awesome. Cons there were mosquitos pretty bad so needed off for sure, also the pool was half full however the host answered immediately and had the pool people out the next morning so we didn’t miss any prime swimming days!!! There is a pond in the back that we loved fishing in and you can catch crabs since it’s salt water but if they’re blue put them back !!! This was a great vacation and can’t wait for many more would recommend!!!”
“It was a nice house near the beach, I will just add the fourth bedroom, is outside the house beside the pool and has no bathroom. So you should consider this if you really need 4 bedrooms for your stay. We did not use it. Be aware of some cockroaches in the kitchen. The place was clean but you will see the cockroaches at night. And do not leave the door open for a second because mosquitos will get in. Bring mosquitos spray .”
“Bastante bonito para compartir en familia”
“This place is great! Super cozy and comfortable. Tucked away but still super accessible to everything on the island. The porch and pool were awesome and so much fun! Exactly what I was looking for and exactly as described. The pool is about 4-5 ft deep which is perfect for relaxing and floating but not too deep for kids.”
“If you have a large group (8+) it’s definitely worth it for the price. The beds are good, new memory foam mattresses. The pool is nice and it’s private. Bring insect repellent and don’t leave food out at night. Look up the prices of other places on the island with the same amenities and you will not find a better deal.”
“11 out 10 ! ! ! Super calm and zero street noise, just to relax and enjoy. A+”
“It’s was good service ! 🙂 I definitely recommend it 😊😃”
