We enjoyed our stay very much. Our son has lived on the island for two years in a small apartment, so we needed space for three families, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Tennessee. We wanted a pool, and the room layout was perfect for our needs; the bedrooms are enormous. Kitchen was satisfactory, and the appliances, large and small, were sufficient. We tried to broil our kebabs in the oven when the nearly new grill didn’t work properly, but we couldn’t get the broiler flame adjusted to a safe level; that may have been due to some error on our part. Plenty of fluffy beach towels, and a nice supply of pool toys. Only real deficiency in the house other than the grill was in the fitted sheets; elastic in the corner pockets was gone, so after an hour or two each night, we were sleeping on a bare mattress with the fitted sheet piled in the middle of the bed. The grill and the sheets weren’t big deals, and could easily be remedied. The really nagging problem was the road. I’ve lived in West Virginia for the entire 73 years of my life, and the first 500 yards of Seven Flaggs Road just off the main highway is probably the absolute worst stretch of a public road I’ve ever attempted to drive on. Many of the homes on the road are very nice, and you would think (I know nothing of island politics) that if the owners would coordinate with each other, they could convince someone in government to bring in and grade some crushed rock, at the very least, Annoying, but manageable.
