May 1st, 2023: This was our 2nd time staying at Getaway and it was exactly how we remembered it! It’s the last house on the street and very private (although a house is being built next door now). You definitely need to rent a car! It has everything you could possibly need. We used the paddle board, kayak and we rode bikes around town almost every day. We were able to get a couple coconuts out of the yard and use for smoothies. The beach is nonexistent when the tide is in , but we didn’t mind since that’s the best time to snorkel the area. We also had a couple snakes stay around the path to the water, so just watch your step. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Timothy is a great host and we would definitely rent with him again!

20Jun18: This place was amazing! It has total privacy and allowed us to step back and reconnect with each other. The ocean looks like a swimming pool. Bring your snorkel set and enjoy! Pack bug spray with DEET. The non-DEET sprays didn't work for us. Note: You must be willing to cook some meals on this trip. Restaurants are few and far between. Grocery selection is limited and costly... Pack light on clothes. Nothing is dressy. Just wear a pair of flip flops, pack a couple swim suits and that's that

March 23rd, 2019: Two of us recently spent a week at this property and enjoyed it very much. We thought the house had a really nice feel and character. It was clean, cared for and well equipped. The owner and his caretaker were responsive, accommodating, welcoming, and helpful. I believe they had true concern for our experience, which was absolutely great. It's definitely private and somewhat secluded, which is what we were after and loved, but it is a bit of a drive to any kind of nightlife / restaurant scene. Having said that, the caretaker told us about a small variety store which has apparently opened recently down the road and is run by a local fisherman who sold us some incredibly great fresh Grouper and also had Lobster, Conch, etc. Definitely recommended. The house sits on coral, so there isn't exactly a beach in the usual sense, but there were pockets of sand big enough for lounge chairs which we thought was totally fine. And weather / tide permitting, there is what we thought was a very special, completely private small beach right there - I think it's in the pictures. It was a huge bonus we were able to use a few times but not sure you can totally count on it. Having done a number of vacation rentals, something that stood out was the thoroughness of information / guides / contacts regarding the area and activities. For instance we were able to book a rental car directly through the property's website which made life much easier and was seamless. Also appreciated were the selection of books, games and dvd's. Overall, nothing but good things to say. We had a wonderful vacation and would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
