    Pictures had to of been taken a while ago didnt match the room seemed very out dated bed was very hard almost felt like a boxspring there was a large book of rules saying she wpuld charge you if you used to much power or water thay was just crazy to me. But what made it worse was i had a family emergency was willing to provide proof host informed me i COULD make changes to my booking as i was supposed to be there a week and wasnt even i The room 2 hours i get if i was charged for 1 night because it could of been available for rent but let her know right away she informed me how to lock up and to contact vrbo for the refund. Then she has just refused to answer any calls or text or emails from me or vrbo! She is a scam artist beware!!!!!!!

    We loved spending the weekend exploring the beaches of Useless Bay with our little doggie and around the sweet neighborhood where this cute beach house is located. Easy to find too! It is cosy and perfect for 2! Thank you Joy!

    Cozy clean studio cabin with accessible beachfront and a short drive from Double Bluff Off-Leash beach. Quiet community, comfortable bed, nice outside space. Super relaxing. Small but functional kitchenette, best for simple meals. We will come back!

    Quaint, lovely studio-size space with kitchenette and bath w/tiled shower. Kitchen appliances include mini-frig, microwave, toaster oven, and a plug-in electric stove top with 2 burners. The bed was comfortable, the linens crisp, and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. The rental includes onsite parking, a patio with grill, and a private grassy yard, although not fully fenced.There is an easy downhill gravel footpath to a private area which has a limited sandy beach, although a small public sandy beach is further down the road in about 1/2 mile. The host provided yummy homemade breakfast muffins with butter & jam, orange juice, and a coffee maker with great ground beans, half and half,

    Easy check-in, great facilities, bed on the soft side for my taste, but I like a pretty firm bed. Clean, organized, quaint. She even left a steamer for us to use for our clothes when we asked. Joy was very attentive and easy to reach with questions. Lovely neighborhood near the beach - easy access to beach. All in all it was a wonderful stay!

    Beautiful location and property. So many bunnies hopping around. Joy was very attentive, welcoming and thoughtful. I was welcomed with flax muffins and a steamer (for my wrinkled dress). The views were gorgeous. She warned me about all the fireworks on the island since it was 4th of July and they did not disappoint. All in all, the visit was rejuvenating.

    Everything was outstanding. The owner is a gem! I woke up in a comfy king sized bed with exquisite linens, to a view of the water, and fresh squeezed orange juice and cream for my coffee. The house and gardens are immaculate. I will definitely stay here Again!
