Summary: We have stayed in many many rental homes throughout the US and this one is our most FAVORITE! The house is gorgeous! It’s located down a dirt road nestled in the woods surrounded by beautiful trees. It’s quiet, peaceful, breezy, clean, spacious, comfortable and so tastefully decorated. It has everything you could possibly need. All the beds and seating are so comfortable. We didn’t want to leave! The owners are very generous and kind. They couldn’t have been more helpful. The location of the house is key. It’s so close to the most beautiful beach on the island and a very magical overlook for sunset. There’s a few small shops there as well where we enjoyed coffee and ice cream. We love this home and want to return as much as possible. Thank you to the owners for making such a special place!
