Our family stayed in this comfy Island home with guest cottage, and we had a great time. The main house has an open floor plan and is very spacious. The pool area is large, and the heated pool was great (paid extra for the heated pool). The location is in close proximity to everything. Would have liked to see a sofa bed in the guest cottage. Overall, the house met or exceeded our expectations. Got rained out on Easter Sunday so couldn't do too much. Our family recommends this rental and would stay here again.

Great place for large family

The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.

Great property and great location! With the guest house grandparents got to enjoy staying with us and still escape for some much needed relaxation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the covered patio was the perfect place to hang out and watch them play! Everything was perfect inside too with enough space for everyone to spread out a little but enjoy eachothers company!
