"The room I stayed in did not resemble the pictures on Expedia that I viewed before I booked. The room doors open to the outside and doors are propped open during cleaning— this allowed bugs to get in the room and I was eaten alive by no-see-ums, even while wearing repellent. I will not be coming back to this hotel."
"We stayed in cottage #5, the Hideaway. It was incredibly clean, well maintained, had plenty of extra items if we needed them, and the property was very centrally located to anything we may have needed on the Island."
"The place was well appointed. The walk to the beach was not as close as I would have liked but it was a short walk, less than three minutes. We picked this unit due to the rooftop porch. It was not as I had expected. My husband is only 205 lbs and we thought he was going to crack the steps going up, it made such an awful sound. Other than that, no complaints."
