The house was really a perfect fit for us and my husband's family. It was very clean and the balcony off of the living room does have a view of the ocean (and is covered which allows you to enjoy the occasional shower while also staying dry). The backyard is spacious and the gas bbq was great for cooking steaks and tri-tip. All the rooms were spacious and the ceiling fans along with the island breeze kept the house cool. The house is about a 10 minute walk to the beach, and while it is a little challenging to find and navigate to, is spectacular once you are there. Everything was very clean, and the check-in/out instructions were super clear. Monica, the contact on the island, was very responsive as well. Matt was also a great host and he provided us with a lot of very useful information days and weeks before our arrival. Overall it really was a great place and we would recommend the house to anyone!
