Great property for our family of 20 - adults and kids. Outside space and pool area were well enjoyed. Key pad locks were nice but the kids figured out to unlock them quickly. The downstairs room was very useful. If it had a stove it would have been perfect. The property is in good condition.

This was a great place to stay for our family reunion of 22 people from 6 different households , with 3 generations ( teenagers to senior citizens) and 8 teens. We appreciated the large swordfish suite living area and kitchen where we usually gathered, but also liked the separate 4 smaller suites with smaller kitchens and washer/dryers where each family could spend the occasional introverted time. The property was well stocked for pool time, beach time, and home cooked meals. Very conveniently located to beach, Publix grocery store pharmacy, beach supply store, coffee and many others. The 6 person electric golf cart was also useful for easily cruising to either norther or southern tip of the island.
