Lovely stay

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We were there a few weeks after a hurricane so the pool wasn’t in great shape and locked up, which was a little disappointing for my nine year old but understandable. The host was very responsive when I reached out about the grill not working. Overall, great stay.

Quiet, small neighborhood just a short walk from the beach. Chelsea was very responsive and accommodating. If you want to spend any time outside, you must not fail to have bug spray.

Stay at Sand in my Boots

The house was clean and welcoming. Communication was great with host. The storm did cause some damage to community pool so it was not available. The grill needed some repair as it was damaged by water and the corn hole boards were broken. The amenities were nicely stocked and the home was cozy. The location was a nice distance from beach and we enjoyed or stay overall. I would definitely inquire about pool if that is of interest to you. Its part of the community so host has little control over its availability. In this case the storm damaged the pump etc.

Super close to the beach.

We brought our 11 month old on his first beach trip and the house had everything we needed. The beach is extremely close to the property. You have the option to drive or walk. We did the 1 minute short drive. We came on this trip after heavy rainfall and there was no high water, but lots of mosquitoes on the island as a whole, so bring bug spray. It really helps. I’d recommend this property to families of 3-4 or 2 couples! It was great for our family of 3.
