Reserving on VRBO was easy, communication with owners good from the beginning. GPS wasn't up to finding address, Curlson sent us a pin to track with Google maps. Curlson was even willing to drive to us and lead us there if needed, but we found it easy with Google maps. (Be ready for some tight roads and steep inclines though.) 4x4 is a good idea, but not necessary. What is necessary is a rental car with ground clearance. The property was as advertised and we very much enjoyed our stay. Great views, close to ferry and Red Hook (Marina, shops, restaurants.) Although you can get anywhere on the island in 30 minutes. Bed in main house very comfortable, ceiling fans and AC window units keep everything comfortable. Kitchen is well outfitted, except no dishwasher. I counted hanging out at the house, sitting on the patio looking at the view, and lounging in the hot tub just as good as doing touristy things! Owners were on the upper level, but I hardly ever heard anything. (Except the chickens.) And the sun comes up on this place, so a great property for early risers. I hugely enjoyed watching the sun rise while sipping my coffee. There's coffee and spices in the cabinets, and the public liquor cabinet was awesome. Would definitely stay there again!
