Finally, a Space That Lives Up To Its Billing
Perfectly lovely, well put-together, homey, full of amenities, including beach amenities, comes with goofy wheelbarrow to haul chairs and umbrellas and miscellaneous crapola to the beach plus a goofy golf cart tor tool around within a few miles, and everything is within a few miles. Managers were welcoming and helpful.

AMI Spring Break 2024
This cottage was perfect for my family of 3 for my daughter's Spring Break. This was one of the best appointed houses we have stayed at on the island. Came with bikes, golf cart, paddle boards! The backyard was a paradise and the hosts- Dan and Goose were very helpful. Would stay here again!

Quiet end of the island
Loved this little beach house! The backyard was my favorite, nice pool and the outdoor shower was great for after the beach. Everything you would need was provided. Easy walking distance to beach/bean point. We had a rental car but used the golf cart everyday, much easier to get around and park. Loved the location, not as busy on the north end and you can't beat the sunsets on bean point! Owners very quick to respond with anything you need.
