Laura's home is so lovely - stocked with handy kitchen gadgets, traveling books and great views from the deck. She has every beach related item you would need (including sunscreen and coolers), which enables you to pack light if you're traveling from a great distance. The neighboring houses have some dogs who can be noisy occasionally (only happened once or twice when we were there for two weeks), but there are fans in each room for background noise. The house is easy to find, it's within 15 minutes of the nearest shopping center and a great central location for exploring the island. Highly recommend!
