Great stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We cooked several meals and found the house to have all the necessary items for doing so. The beach chairs were in excellent condition as were the porch chairs and tables. The golf carts were in excellent condition and we appreciated the rain cover on the one evening we had rain! We would highly recommend this property.

Great location and communication
Well kept property, great communication before and during stay, amazing location! Just one thing to be aware of, the direct beach access is a steep climb over the dune. Elderly or those with compromised mobility will not make it over. But there is a public access with stairs next door. Everyone in our group did just fine and we loved the house!

Great vacation spot!
We had a lovely stay at ‘About the View’. House was very clean, great kitchen and comfy beds. Location is right on the beach which we loved. You can’t see the ocean from the patio rocking chairs as the dunes have grown but the breeze and sunsets outside are lovely. Property manager was great to communicate with. Would recommend and are looking forward to returning next summer.

so nice
The property was amazingly clean and well appointed with every conceivable household item required. The only complaint was from my seven year old "daddy, this is the slowest golf cart on the whole island" Ha! Would highly recommend this property to others, great views, ease of access to everything and all the tv's worked.

Fantastic House and Location
Beautiful house right on the beach, exactly as advertised, stocked with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful trip. Super kitchen, comfy beds, bathrooms that could handle multiple showers at the same time without any pressure or heat issues. Plenty of beach towels and chairs. In fairness to future guests, there is a brand new house being built directly behind this one, so there is some weekday construction noise.
