Alan met us at the property and showed us around. We even received an upgrade to deluxe cabin because it just happened to be available for our stay!! Fridge was stocked with a few cokes, beers, and wine complimentary. Kinda like they buy your first cocktail. The place is brand new unit as a rental. Well-appointed with new appliances, a/c units in each room, steps from the beach, amazingly cool shower with multiplesprayer heads. The road was a little bumpy but normal for this island. Go slow, and the location and condition of the property far outweighs a few minutes on a bumpy entrance. We will search out this property on our next visit. The price was actually low compared to others searched. 5 star experience. Nice job Alan!!
