"This is the perfect spot to simply sit back and relax. The pier and view of the water are wonderful. Island life is quiet and unrushed. We spent 3 days doing very little, and it was just what we needed. The local grocery store has a decent selection and there are a few restaurants, if you don’t want to cook. The hosts were beyond helpful and answered our questions incredibly quickly. Pack a book, some sunscreen and just be!"
