"This house is less than a 10 minute walk to the beach. The wagon was helpful to carry items to the beach. The kitchen is stocked with all the pots/pans you may need.
You’ll need to bring your own spices/seasoning, cooking oil, etc
They do have a grill with propane on site.
I’m not a fan of contacting the host outside of Airbnb through their own form, which would be my only con."

"This house was beautiful, exactly like the photos. My family and I had so much fun during our stay. The kitchen was full of anything you could use to cook, and my family are big cooks, so we definitely took advantage of that. The house is in a great location, it was like a 5min walk to the beach and they provided a little beach cart to help take all or things. They also provided beach towels, beach chairs and floaties. The house is also walking distance to the main downtown area of the island, which has lots of shops and restaurants. The pool was great too, it is not heated, but with the sun and how hot it is you don't really need a heater. Overall great stay, would definitely book again. It was a great vacation."

"Grundsätzlich war alles super wie beschrieben.
Die Betten waren sehr bequem.
Einzig der Baulärm in der Nachbarschaft tagsüber (wie vom Gastgeber erwähnt), war nicht so toll für den hohen Preis.
Auch das Besteck in der Küche war mehrheitlich schmutzig und das Poolwasser etwas trüb."
