Overall great experience and host was accommodating even with some booking misunderstandings. Wish the pool would have been usable or know it was under repair. Definitely recommend the property though as the view was amazing and a great location.

Beautiful view
Everything was beautiful the only thing was the pictures online made it seemed much bigger but overall we had a good time. Mattress was very comfortable but my kids said not so much the sofa bed. But we really enjoyed the stay, the fishing of the dock right outside and looking and the dolphins at sunset and the ships pass by. I would definitely rent there again if its just me and my husband with no kids just for 2 its worth it. Unfortunately the pool was not working for the first 2 days of our stay but luckily they got it fix by the 4th of July. Thank you Bay Tree!
The room was very clean , had every thing you need , beautiful views , just blocks from restraunts and the beach . Easy check in and check out

Great view and location
The condo is really nice. Typical of island properties it sows some weathering but seems to be well maintained. For our 3-night stay it was perfect. We loved watching the ships move through the channel, and the dolphins! The beach is about ½ mile walk and The Donut Palace even less! Would stay again!
