Stayed Feb 16, 2026Ray was great. What was most outstanding other than the natural beauty was all of the amenities, especially the beach equipment.

Stayed Jun 23, 2025We’ve been using short term rentals for years and this was one of the best! The arrival was very smooth and the property manager Raj and his partner Jackie were great, very friendly and responsive though out our stay. The house was super clean and had everything you could possibly need including a large smart tv. The crows nest was fantastic with 360 degree views of stars at night. And only 4 min walk to the main beach.Recommended highly

Stayed Dec 30, 2023Raj and crew were super attentive throughout our stay. Owner was very communicative leading up to our trip. The house was perfect for our group of 4 and the bonus room is very relaxing to listen to the ocean and wind through the trees. Very happy with our stay!

Stayed Jun 4, 2023Best house we've stayed in on the island. The location was great and the views from the upper decks were amazing, during the day and night. The wrap around deck was lovely with patio sets all the way around, and my husband and son loved the hammocks(there are 3). The layout of the house worked well for the 4 of us. My son loved staying on the top floor and having his private space. I liked the octagon shape of the house so much because of the decks. The decor and furnishings are good with really comfortable beds. When we were out and about we would run into the caretaker Raj and his wife. We really enjoyed talking with them,such nice people!!! The owner and caretaker are the best! Great communication before,during, and after our trip. Highly recommend this house!

Stayed Mar 25, 2023This is our 2nd year at LaySea 8. We enjoy house because it is so close to the beach and reserve. It is a very comfortable home. When we are not at the beach we spend all of our time an the deck relaxing in hammocks or just chilling with family. We will definitely be back in 2024!

Stayed Jul 9, 2022Beautiful as always. Our favorite location. House is also beautiful but needs a few small things. Just a bit of TLC. But Cheryl and Jenny are great and the communication is fantastic. Second time booking this house.
