What a gem!!! This little cottage is on the same grounds as a larger building and honestly-is (in my opinion) the best location on the property. The location can’t be beat-the beach is literally 50 yards away-if that. I have nothing but positive things to stay-but I’ll focus this review on why it’s the perfect place to stay with kids.
First of all, the beach is gorgeous-and good he reef protects it from big waves-so although it does get deep quickly, it was perfect for our young kids to play. It also has a big grassy yard and chickens-which kept our little one busy for hours-sorry chickens!
The cottage itself is sweet, felt private enough, had super easy parking and was tastefully decorated-but not overdone. We felt totally comfortable and weren’t stressed about the kids breaking something or not being perfect. Although the kitchen was small it had everything we needed to cook and then some. There were also games other extras that kept us entertained when we weren’t on the beach.
The parking spot is right outside the cottage which was great because we made approximately 755 trips to the car. We were also able to sit on the patio and let the baby continue his car naps-with the windows down on a cloudy day-obviously!
The location isn’t touristy and we ate a lot of meals from the food trucks that were a 5 minute walk away. There’s also a little store that had all the basics and the bigger grocery store is only a ten minute drive. The location was a perfect spot for exploring-we could get anywhere on the island in less than an hour-but the best beaches were only a 10-15 minute drive.
The communication was great and not over the top-which we appreciated! It felt like staying at a friend’s house.
If you’re looking for luxury and a ton of amenities and nightlife-this isn’t your spot-but if you’re looking for an authentic feel and the best location to relax and explore-you won’t find a more perfect place to stay!
