I will say up front, we were in the islands 3 weeks and stayed at 3 different properties on 3 different islands and the one, main complaint associated with all three (we are mainlanders) is that the instructions for operating the audio/visual equipment are vague at best, and assume that all systems operate in a similar fashion. I can tell you, they do not! So better instructions, in the future, please! Also, Carol, since there was a note on the sliding glass door, I believe it would be smart of you to provide some sort of locking deterrent on the sliding glass door in the main bedroom. One other thing I have discovered about all VRBOs we have been to is they do not seem to provide instructions about recycling policies, and Ha
This property was everything as advertised. I was surprised at all the hustle an bustle in this resort area - did not know it was as densely populated as it is, but it was not noisy like you would expect. We really delighted in the sea turtles visible just off the lanai and the property was convenient to everything you might need. When we go on vacations, we always do a virtual recon on (1) the closest Starbucks; (2) the closest Walmart; (3) the closest Total Wine (or liquor store); and (4) the closest Costco (which does sell wine and liquor and beer on the islands). Everything was easily accessible.
Just a couple of tidbits to be aware of - the building and common areas struck me as tired, old and well used (not so the unit). Parking was easy, but don't go much bigger than a mid-size car. After a long travel day, we were ready to celebrate our arrival in the unit only to find 3 empty ice trays in the freezer so add a bag of ice to your grocery list!
This is not a location where you can sun and swim all day in the ocean and the pictures off the lanai are true to that depiction. Public beaches are nearby and there is plenty of equipment provided (including soft coolers) to pack up and take with you for a day at the beach.
