The Beach Barn was 10 out of 10! Very clean, easy to communicate with host; We LOVED the outdoor shower.The kitchen had every we needed to feel right at home.The sweeping deck off the front of the house was our favorite place to hang in the morning for coffee.

The best all around VRBO we have ever stayed in!

The Beach Barn was beyond my expectations. Cleanliness is an important factor in staying at a VRBO with my small children. The Beach Barn was impeccable. It was perfect for our family of 5. The house has everything you could ever need in a stay on the island. 10/10 recommend!!

The perfect getaway

We love LGI and the Barn House was wonderful. It was clean, spacious, and had so many extras. It was a short, few minutes walk to the bay or beach. We had so much fun using the kayaks, the outdoor and indoor games, grills, and awesome swings. And our host, Dave, was a great help with luggage transport, suggestions, and answering all our questions.
