18.8/10 Exceptional! (169 reviews)
The property at puente vista is always well maintained and the views are priceless. The units are clean and well kept and ease of fishing is fantastic whether you have a boat or not. Very relaxing and gives that tropical feel. If you run across anyone everyone seems quite friendly. I am always looking forward to coming to island and staying here. It always feels like my home away from home.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (76 reviews)
Candlelight is an excellent choice for a getaway. The only minor complaint I would have is that the ac is in very front of cabin and the bed room temperature was a bit uncomfortable. We stayed in the fall so it wasn’t a big problem. I don’t know how bearable it would have been in July or August.
That said I still highly recommend and I will probably return

Be sure to get a parking pass (annual pass for $12) or risk a $500 fine! Port-a-potties are placed regularly down the length of the beach, and there are freshwater showers for rinsing and changing areas near the access road entrances.

Eat at Black Marlin's Bar & Grille, the food is great, the staff is super attentive and friendly, and the chef/owner even created a sauce just for us as I am pregnant and alot of flavors give me heartburn. The nachos are the best tho!
