    First thing you need to know that it is on an island not accessible by car. You must take a water taxi that is 20 per person each way. I didnt know this until 6 days before arrival. There is also NO stores, reaturants, or anything else to buy. There is an island delivery service that will bring groceries for a fee. With all that being said, it was an amazing get away. We basically had the beach to ourselves and everyone was very helpful. With no restaurants, we had fun cooking meals together and had lots of dance parties. It felt like we had no neighbors and were about 100 yards from the shoreline. The beds were comfortable and the rental agency checked on us daily to make sure everything was going well. I was thrown at first when I found out about no cars on the island but it ended up being an awesome experience. I look forward to bringing friends back again. Again, the beach to ourselves was the highlight of the trip. fee. There are no cars on the island.
