Great home but.....
The home itself and its location are five-star without hesitation; however, a few issues kept us from giving a five-star review. First, neither the photos nor the description mentioned the construction around the house, which includes a plywood barrier along the beach and beach path. Literally every photo we took from the 1st and 2nd floors of the beach, sunset, and front of the home had to be edited or taken at an angle to avoid including the plywood fencing. The construction equipment on the side of the house and the trailer parked in the driveway were also unexpected and required us to work around them to park our vehicles, PWC trailer, and golf carts we rented.
We would have still given the property five stars if they had updated their description and photos on VRBO, as they said they would, to accurately reflect the property's current state. However, no edits were made to the listing. The second issue we encountered was that the main floor was hot! We had to take the fans from the front deck and bring them inside just to get the temperature below 78°F. Closing the shades during the day made little difference and eliminated the ocean view entirely.
Despite a few other small issues here and there, we had a great time. Bring plenty of bug spray for the no-see-ums, and keep in mind that the island has not fully recovered from the hurricane in terms of shops and restaurants. However, what do you really need besides friends, family, Starbucks, and the beach?
