Loved the cottage setting, no high rise, no crowds, and our own beach with lounge chairs. A shared BBQ grill was very nice, allowed us to stay on the property to eat. A full kitchen was also a plus. Staff was very helpful and was quick to address any concerns we had. I would definately stay there again.

The property was excellent it was quiet not alot of people walking through the beach area. The view of the sunsets was the best on the island! The staff was great, anything you needed was handled quickly and with no problems. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a quiet getaway with not a lot of distractions.
