    suite layout
    owner attention
    hands-off management

    The suite style layout of the room made our stay enjoyable, especially during the tropical storm. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even allowing us to check in early, which was a pleasant surprise.

    The management was a bit hands-off which could be a concern for some guests.

    friendly staff
    clean room
    kid-friendly activities

    Staying here felt like a tropical paradise! The beach is just a bike ride away, and we loved exploring the 30 miles of paths around the island. The room was clean, and the staff was super friendly, making our family feel right at home.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly activities or play areas.

    cozy apartment
    modern pool
    wish for longer stay

    The room felt just like a cozy apartment, and we loved the beautiful, modern pool area right outside our sliding glass doors. Relaxing by the pool with all the comfy loungers was a highlight. We enjoyed trying out the BBQ facilities for a fun dinner. Honestly, the only downside was that we wish we could have stayed longer to soak up the good vibes! 🌴

    charming colors
    peaceful grounds
    easy accessibility
    lack of shade
    pool area

    The charming tropical colors in the room were lovely, creating a bright, cheerful atmosphere. The well-maintained grounds provided a peaceful space to relax, and accessibility was superb for seniors like me, making it easy to enjoy my stay.

    A bit more shade at the pool would be nice.

    Perfect Getaway for Couples

    We loved our 3-night stay in the King Studio! Just a short walk to the beach, and the provided beach chairs were a bonus. The charming kitchen had everything we needed, though the WiFi was spotty—better by the pool. Renting bikes was a great way to explore the island! Don’t miss Billy's Bike Shop for seamless rentals.

    cozy vibe
    free laundry
    relaxing pool area
    spotty wi-fi

    We enjoyed biking through the tropical paths and hit up the Lighthouse Cafe and Pinocchio's for ice cream. The pool area was super relaxing, and we appreciated the free laundry and the cozy vibe. It’s a chill spot for a group getaway.

    However, the wi-fi could be spotty at times. We struggled a bit with weak signal, which can be annoying if you need to stay connected.

    immaculate rooms
    beautiful landscaping
    convenient kitchenette

    We stayed in the Palm Cottage for 4 nights and found the rooms to be immaculate with excellent air conditioning. The property is beautifully maintained with lush landscaping. The kitchenette was very convenient, and having direct access to the pool was a delightful touch. We also loved the short bike ride to Lighthouse Beach, where we discovered an amazing array of shells.

    No notable negatives during our stay.

    private space
    awkward path
    beach access

    The pool was amazing🩴! It was clean, private, and perfect for a relaxing day after the beach. The only drawback was the slightly awkward path to get to the beach, but it was manageable. Would definitely return!

    relaxing pool
    luxurious linens
    street noise

    The heated pool just outside our room was perfect for a relaxing swim. The towels and linens felt luxurious, adding a comforting touch to our stay. Having a kitchenette allowed us to prepare meals conveniently.

    We experienced some minor noise from the nearby street.

    beach access
    well-stocked kitchen

    We had an awesome time! The beach access was a breeze, less than a 5-minute stroll. The kayaks available were a total blast. The well-stocked kitchen in our suite made it easy to whip up meals. The cozy vibe was perfect for our chill getaway, and the pool was just a few steps away for a refreshing dip!

    Felt very well, no complaints at all.
