Perfect
Close to the beach.
The grill’s outside still had hot dogs on it. Not the property fault though.

Island Retreat Review July 2025
I like the location and all the commodities. The space was clean, and the surroundings were in good condition. I love that we were 5 min by foot to the beach!! The price is reasonable and affordable.
The person who was welcoming people at the entrance was rough and tough. She could use some manners to welcome people. Even if one could be at the wrong location, she should have a better disposition to receive guests and better customer service manners instead of being rude and impolite.

The AC broke on the second night. No one came to fix it. I had to leave the windows open while my were kids there. The drawers were broken so we couldn’t store our clothes in them. We weren’t able to wash one pot because it was extremely hot in the room. They left no dish soap or detergent to clean. They decided to charge $155 for an unclean towel, and one dish! Beware of these scammers!
