Paradise

We had a wonderful vacation, in spite of hurricane Idalia. We had to leave for a few days but we were so grateful it missed the Island and we were able to return. It wasn't as remote as I thought it would be and the restaurants were great. We can't wait to return!

What is with the toilet tissue?? Before I address that I wanted to say that this property was so thoughtfully and beautifully designed. I have only lovely things to say about it. The screened in back porch was a haven for coffee and sunrises. The pool was also so perfect for hanging out and watching the birds. It really was such a comfortable, clean, and amazingly well designed sanctuary. The details, such as the coffee mugs, were perfect. I so appreciated not being surrounded by the usual Home Goods beach decor. Every space was interesting and so very comfortable. I sincerely enjoyed my time at this property and cannot stress enough how well designed and thoughtful it was. So- I have some understanding of how difficult the management company's job is to oversee the coming and goings of all these guests and properties. If I did have an issue it was seen to in a timely manner and that was much appreciated. What I will never understand is why they would not provide toilet paper for the duration of the stay. This was not an inexpensive stay. If you stay at any hotel in the world they will provide toilet paper. It is not a luxury item. Why do they risk leaving the client with such a negative feeling about the experience. Instead of remembering my time on the porch listening to the birds, I will remember having to get in my car, which I did not want to do, and going to buy TP. Again, nothing to do with property itself.

The house was great! The beds are comfortable. We loved the pool. The only issue is getting the elevator to work. We had a great time!
