Reviewer Comments:
We stayed for a month in a 1 bedroom condo. Accommodations were adequate, nothing spectacular! There were some issues with furnishings initially which we reported and the situation was resolved fairly promptly by the Island Vacation Property management. Loved the location and friendly people in the complex. Considering the hurricane repairs still taking place on the site, we managed quite well and had a good month.

We enjoyed our stay at West Bay Cove #226. Easy communication throughout our stay. People in the community treated us like we were the owner of the condo, including us in any of the events. The home had everything that we needed. Loved being in the center of the island.
