"Our room #3) was amazingly clean. We had everything we needed (except some hangers in the closet) for visiting the beach; towels, chairs) and a wagon to transport them. The king bed was comfortable. Location is key, only a 5-minute walk to the beach. I felt safe here and we will hopefully be back for a 3 time next year"

"Really nice, updated, and clean room with a screened waterfront balcony in a perfect place on the island (far enough away from the big resorts to be in a quieter area, but close enough to the center area of the island to be convenient). "
