So many good things to say, but first a PSA unrelated to the property, but needed for the location.
Head the riptide flag warnings. The island has a system to communicate riptide levels, we had to watch a US Coast Guard helicopter land right 150 yard from the house on the beach to pick up a young lady on her senior trip that had been pulled out by a rip tide and drown. She died in a local hospital a couple days later. Riptides happen all along the coast, pay attention to the warnings, if it's a bad day, don't get in the water. Stay on the beach, or better yet enjoy the POOL!
On to the location. This house is perfect. It was clean when we arrived. One thing to note this property is managed like so many by a rental company, when you book you will be contacted via email by the rental company, if you have questions you will need to reach out to them directly, we didn't get a response via the VRBO messaging center. That said, communication was great and they took care of us. The pool is fantastic and heated, it was perfect on cool days and at night. There were a couple maintenance issues when we identified on the first day, they had Dave the maintenance guy come out same day, he was fantastic and took care of everything immediately. He also took the time to talk with us about restaurant and things to do around the island. He came back a couple days later to fix the valve on the outdoor shower, when we got back he had left us a box of donuts that were amazing! Dave is fantastic, keep him around! There is a house closer to the beach, however you still have clear view of a large section of beach and you only 50-75 yards from the beach, this is beachfront living at its best.
There was only one downside to the property, the internet connectivity was pretty terrible. It was impossible to stream a movie without multiple pauses, even connecting on your phone or computer to do anything was really bad. We have to power cycle the router no less than 5-10 times daily. The ISP is a dish network provider. If you are planning on working remotely from this location, it is not for you. I would love to see the owner look into a different ISP, if there is a better option than satellite dish, it should be considered. Thankfully they had a decently library of DVDs so on the rainy days we watched them instead of streaming netflix, hbomax, etc.
This is a fantastic place, we hope to stop in again!
