Annual vacation for family of 6- 4 small kids
The house was so cute and very clean. Had everything we needed. I was very thankful for laundry soap and other necessities that were provided. We experienced a delay at check-in but the issue was addressed quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Awesome visit to the island!
The cortage was clean and comfortable. As an antique dealer/decorator, I appreciated the decor and mix of old and new. The kitchen and laundry supplies and comfortable beds were also very much appreciated. Three blocks to the beach and having a house to ourselves and 3 teens made our 16 hr drive so worth it. Life is too short to stay in a small, cramped and generically decorated hotel room! Thank you Cy and Michael for your hospitality!
